Country Music History April 3

Blessings to you, country music fans, for a beautiful Sunday.

Country Music Hall of Fame member Don Gibson was born April 3, 1928 in North Carolina.  A very talented singer and songwriter, Gibson recorded a host of country classics including "Oh Lonesome Me" and "I Can't Stop Loving You".

Another extremely talented singer, Billy Joe Royal, was born in Georgia in 1942.  Royal had a string of pop hits, probably most notably "Down In The Boondocks", and a country cross-over "Tell It Like It Is".

Reba and Heidi, come on down!  Back in 2009 Heidi Newfield and Reba McEntire appeared in a celebrity edition of the TV game show "The Price Is Right".

Checking the Billboard country singles charts, in 2004 the #1 position is held by Kenny Chesney and his buddy Uncle Kracker with "When The Sun Goes Down".  In 1982, we find The Oak Ridge Boys and "Bobbie Sue".
