In 1935, Margie Singleton was born in Coushatta, Louisiana. She had a successful solo career as a singer, and also recorded some successful duets with George Jones, Faron Young, and Leon Ashley, who became her husband.
In 1938, Johnny Duncan was born in Dublin, Texas. He was a singer/songwriter/guitarist who had ten Top Ten hits, including three Number Ones.
In 1970, Georgette Jones was born, the only child of George Jones AND Tammy Wynette, in Lakeland, Florida. She is now popular on the Americana and Texas Music circuits.
In 1974, Charlie Rich was atop the charts with "I Love My Friend".
In 1994, Merle Haggard was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
In 1996, Ty Herndon was "Living In A Moment" at the top of the charts. Though not necessarily a pure country singer, he is now one of my favorite singers from that time period, simply because he had a good voice and some good material.
