In 1936, Western Swing pioneer Milton Brown was injured in a horrific auto accident.
In
1960, John Schneider, singer and actor was born in Mount Kisco, New
York. Of his seventeen charted country hits, four of them were Number
Ones.
In 1978, Charlie Pride was at Number One with "Someone Loves You Honey". He held that position for two weeks.
In 1989, Keith Whitley went to Number One on the charts with "I'm No
Stranger To The Rain". I still wonder what the country music scene
would be like today had he lived longer.
