November 27 in Country Music History

In 1941, Eddie Rabbitt was born in Brooklyn, New York.  Using his skills as a night club singer and a songwriter, he got his really big break when Elvis Presley recorded "Kentucky Rain", and he never looked back.  He charted forty three times, with seventeen of his records making it all the way to Number One.

In 1976, Mel Tillis was at the top of the charts with "Good Woman Blues".

In 1982, Janie Fricke was at the top of the charts with "It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy".

In 1993, Alabama was at the top of the charts with "Reckless", a record that was so great that I don't even remember it.
