In 1946, John Conlee was born in Versailles, Kentucky. This Grand Ole Opry member hsa had a number of country hits, and is one of the most recognizable voices in Country Music. His signature song is "Rose Colored Glasses", and has had seven Number One hits, twenty one Top Tens and a total of thirty two charted Country hits.
In 1951, "Hey, Good Lookin'" went to the top of the charts for the Lovesick Blues Boy, Hank Williams. Of thirty nine cuts charting from the beginning of his career to the last original release in 1955, almost all of them were Top Ten hits. Impressive for somebody who was only 29 at the time of his death. Known as the Hillbilly Shakespeare, Hiriam King Williams was probably the most gifted songwriter AND singer the world will ever know. I can't help but thinking that he would be very proud if he could see the success of his son, Randall Hank Williams, also known as Hank Jr.
In 1973, Freddy Hart took a "Trip To Heaven" to Number One with the help of his band, the Heartbeats.
In 1979, Eddie Rabbitt had "Suspicions" that he had another Number One hit with his new release of the same name.
In 1984, Don Williams was Number One with "That's The Thing About Love".
In 1990, Baillie and the Boys debuted their last top ten record, "Fool Such As I" on the charts. It went on to become a Number Five, and stayed on the charts for twenty one weeks. This group was extremely talented, but success often breaks up groups, as it did this one.
