It has been a beautiful day and perfect afternoon for a big ole Classic Country Saturday Night! Looks like today was quite popular for some of our favorite country stars so let's see what they were up to:
May 2nd:
1948: Happy 67th Birthday to the great Larry Gatlin!
1969: Glenn Campbell took the #1 spot on the Country singles chart with 'Galveston' which also made #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
1976: Merle Haggard hit #1 on the Country charts with 'It's All in the Movies' which was his 22nd number 1 on the country charts.
