over half of these songs were big pop hits nearly all of them charted in the pop hot 100 after 1958
Buck Owens was a cool as Johnny Cash and had been accepted by rock fans--then he made the stupid decision to join HEE HAW

@ 3:26. Not Patsy Cline. @ 4:59 I'm sure it's not Connie Smith. Ms. Smith had blonde hair. For Massagra, here's a few: 0:33 The Louvin Brothers. 1:15 Jim Reeves 1:21 Bobby Helms 1:29 Ray Price 1:43 Don Gibson 2:10 Johnny Horton 2:15 Stonewall Jackson 2:18 The Browns 2:33 Hank Locklin 2:52 Kitty Wells 3:12 Leroy Van Dyke 3:23 Sheb Wooley 3:31 Billy Walker 3:47 Bill Anderson 3:51 Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper 4:08 Hawkshaw Hawkins 4:20 George Hamilton IV 4:24 Ernest Ashworth

In those days, some records would make it on all three charts, simultaneously: Popular, Country and Rhythm and Blues.
Johnny Horton had some outstanding "B" sides on his hits. Songs like "Whispering Pines; The Mansion You Stole and All For the Love of a Girl, were soulful and skillfully crafted.

Marty and Jim NICE
Is this the list of the #1's on the Billboard COUNTRY charts? Seems extremely heavy on the CW artists to not be.

Yes, it's the country chart. Sorry that should have been in the title.
