In 1915, Speck Rhodes was born in West Plains, Missouri. Speck was an accomplished bassist and banjo player, as well as a fine comedian before he signed on with Porter Wagoner. He was a member of the Wagoneers for over twenty years, and one of the most beloved figures of the Opry and the Porter Wagoner Show.
In
1949, Ronnie Robbins, son of Marty and Marizona Robbins, was born in
Phoenix, Arizona. He put his career on hold to take care of the estate,
but in my estimation, he was a great singer also. He just had to
overcome the expectations of the name.
In 1955, Webb Pierce went to the top of the charts with "I Don't Care". It held the top spot for a total of twelve weeks.
In 1977, Ronnie Milsap was at the top of the charts with "It Was Almost Like A Song", for the first of three weeks at that position.
In 1983, Alabama had another chart topper with "The Closer You Get".
In 1988, Roseanne Cash was Number One with "If You Change Your Mind".
In 1994, Travis Tritt took his "Foolish Pride" to the top of the charts.
