June 2 in Country Music History

In 1927, Carl Butler of Carl and Pearl Butler was born in Knoxville, Tennessee.

In 1958, The Everly Brothers went to Number One on the charts with "All I Have To Do Is Dream".  It stayed there for three weeks.  I wonder how many times Ira Louvin had to rebuild his mandolin listening to them perform this on the Opry? 

In 1984, Ricky Skaggs added a Number One to his collection with "Honey (Open That Door)".

In 1990, Ricky Shelton scored a Number One with "I've Cried My Last Tear For You". 

In 1998, Helen Carter, of the Carter Sisters, and daughter of Mother Maybelle Carter, passed away.
