November 25 in Country Music History

In 1961, the premier deejay in Country Music, Eddie Stubbs, was born in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  Not only was he a fiddler with the Johnson Mountain Boys, but he was lured to Nashville by a chance to play for the Johnny Wright/Kitty Wells show, and then became a dj for WSM, as well as the Grand Ole Opry.  He also does duties as a fiddler and emcee for Marty Stuart, on his RFD.TV television show.

In 1978, "Sweet Desire", by the Kendalls, began a week at the top of the charts.

In 1989, "Yellow Roses", by Dolly Parton, became a Number One.
