KLAW Classic

From the football field to the stage of Nashville, that's what happened for the singer/songwriter Michael Peterson.

If George Strait is the King of Country Music, then surely, the Queen would have to be Reba McEntire, the 7th best selling female artist in all genres, selling over 70 million records worldwide.

Today's Classic is from Birthday Boy Kevin Sharp!  42 years ago, Kevin was born in Redding, California.

Sixty Four years ago in Fort Worth, Texas, Gary Morris and his twin sister, Carey, made their way into this world.  They grew up in North Richland Hills, Dallas, then, Gary made his way to Colorado for College.

Today's KLAW Classic comes once again from the King of Country Music, George Strait!  With nearly 60 #1 songs, it's a sure bet that we will have plenty of them to share.

Gary Allan grew up in a musical family, in fact, his Momma Mary wanted to make sure that the family recognized the importance of music so they kept the family's music instruments in full sight all the time!

41 years ago today, when George and Norma Strait were getting hitched, Charley Pride had the Number One song in the land!

The King of Country Music had the number one song on this day in 1984!

We're going way back for the K-LAW Saturday Classic. All the way back to December 2nd, 1957 - that's 55 years ago this weekend! The song has been covered by just about everyone, from Haggard to Mellencamp. It came in at #67 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll...

The Friday K-LAW Classic takes us back to 1974, and the first of three country #1's from John Denver.

We jump in the way-back machine and set it for November 29th, 1980 to get today's K-LAW Classic. It's from an award-winning singer who has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - near her older sister's star.

The K-LAW Classic for Wednesday was the #1 country song 25 years today - November 28th, 1987. It was the seventh #1 for a guy who once teamed with Lee Roy Parnell and Diamond Rio, recording Merle Haggard's 'Workin' Man Blues' under the name Jed Zeppelin.
