What's your favorite country song from the 70s or 80s that was also a pop chart hit? |
I have many - since when I grew up there was no country station here... so country hits were played especially on Top 40 pop radio - now I listen to everything - but was wondering what some people thought of older country hits that crossed over into mainstream.... Patsy cline made it to #9 on the pop charts with "Crazy" and had a few other top 40 hits in the 60s, Kenny Rogers had numerous country hits that made it onto the pop charts from the late 70s to the mid 80s... There are so many. Alot have already been noted. I will add Crystal Gayles Dont it Make My Brown Eyes Blue. There's quite a few I like from that era, but I'm not sure which ones actually crossed the pop charts. But some of them probably did I'm sure. The only country song I can think of that might have made the pop charts was Kenny Rogers' The Gambler. It's a Heartache Bonnie Tyler MY MICHELLE I love the country/rock. Urban Cowboy album was a good example of crossovers. Like Cherokee Fiddle - Johnny Lee Kenny and Dolly "Islands in the Stream" Amarillo by Morning by George Strait |
