In 1953, Mitchell Torok was at Number One on the country charts with "Caribbean". He would return to the Top Ten once, and chart one additional time in his career, though he was a successful singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
In 1972, Shelton Hank Williams, also known as Hank III, was born in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 1981, George Jones was "Still Doin' Time" at the top of the charts.
In 1987, Reba McEntire was the "Last One To Know" she had another Number One by the same name.
In 1992, George Strait's career was riding high, with a great album in support of his movie, "Pure Country" on the verge of being released, and the single, "Heartland" occupying the Number One spot on the charts. This album is one of his best, though I believe Honkytonkville to be very good, also.
