45 RPMs 52: Ferlin Husky ~ Gone
~
photo by Styrous®
Today is the birthday of American country music singer, Ferlin Husky who was born on December 3, 1925, in Gumbo, Missouri. He was more than a country music singer; he sang honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen top-20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and good looks propelled a seven-decade entertainment career. I loved his big hit, Gone.
In the late 1950s, Husky had a long string of hits, including the
number-one Gone in 1957 (he first recorded Gone as Terry Preston in
1952, but the earlier version lacked the strings and backup singers of
the newly emerging Nashville sound). Gone was a crossover success, also reaching number four on the pop music chart. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song's popularity led to a stint as a summer replacement host in 1957 on CBS-TV's Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts.
The song was recorded at the Owen Bradley Quonset Hut Studio at 804 16th Avenue South in Nashville. Future stars that recorded there were Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee, Bobby Vinton, Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, The Byrds, Elvis Costello, Gene Vincent, k.d. lang and Simon & Garfunkel.

Born Virginia Wynette Pugh on May 5, 1942, she was known professionally by her stage name, Tammy Wynett. She was called the "First Lady of Country Music".
Her best-known song, Stand by Your Man, was released in September of 1968. It is one of the best-selling hit singles by a woman in the history of country music. Who will ever forget the heart rending lyrics and emotional delivery of the song by her. It hit #1 on the Country charts and #19 on the Billboard pop charts. At the time, however, it was criticized by the feminist when the women's rights movement was beginning to stir in the U.S. It reached number one in the UK when the record was finally released in Britain in May of 1975. It was her only top 40 hit. The song became one of the top standards for performing drag queens.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E was written and recorded in 1968; it was released in may of that year. It was a number one country hit. The lyrics begin with the parenting trick of spelling out words they hope their young children will not understand, they
(the children) being not yet able to spell or comprehend the word's
meaning, in order to shield the child from the cruel, harsh reality of
the ultimate breakup of it's mother and father. She went through five marriages.
She was married to country music singer George Jones in 1969 but they were divorced in 1975. Tammy died on April 6, 1998.
