In 1933, one of my favorite country music stars, and ROPE member, Jean Shepard was born in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. She probably is right behind Kitty Wells as one of the ladies who broke down many barriers to females in the music business. She is finally in the Hall of Fame, and surely belongs there. We love you Ms. Jean.
In 1953, Webb Pierce was amid a twelve week run at the top of the charts with "There Stands The Glass".
In 1970, Conway Twitty scored another Number One with "Fifteen Years Ago".
In 1981, Hank Williams, Jr. was atop the charts with "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)".
In 1987, Randy Travis was again at the top of the charts with "I Won't Need You Anymore".
In 1992, Alabama began two weeks at the top of the charts with "I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)".
