February 27 in Country Music History

In 1936, Chuck Glaser, of the Glaser Brothers, was born in Spalding, Nebraska.  The three Glaser Brothers were one of the best backup groups in the history of country music, and are most remembered for their backup work on "El Paso", with Marty Robbins.   

In 1961, Marty Robbins grabbed the top spot on the charts with "Don't Worry", which stayed there for ten weeks.


 In 1972, former Sons of the Pioneers singing star Pat Brady, also one of Roy Rogers' sidekicks, died in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado. He originally replaced Leonard Slye(Roy Rogers) in the Sons of the Pioneers, and after leaving them, rejoined them in 1959, replacing Shug Fisher.

In 1982, Don Williams was at Number One with "Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good". 

In 1988, Tanya Tucker topped the charts with "I Won't Take Less Than Your Love". 

In 1993, "What Part Of No" by Lorrie Morgan began a three week run at the top of the charts.
