To All,
FYI, on Bucks Braun's show today on the I's Have It, he celebrated the 107th anniversary of the founding of the Victor Talking Machine/Record Co which later was purchased by Radio Corporation of America - RCA, with his Trifecta daily feature where he plays 3 songs related to each other. He played what he said was a Nipper Trifecta - the 3 longest charting Country Records (Billboard Country Charts) issued by RCA Victor, #1 was I'm Movin On by Hank Snow, # 2 was I'll Hold You In My Arms (Till I Can Hold You In My Heart) by Eddy Arnold both of which were #1 21 weeks, and Jim was #3 with He'll Have To Go which was #1 for 14 weeks and sold over 3 million in the US and 4 Million world wide. Hank Locklin also had a 14 week RCA Record at #1 - Please Help Me I'm Fallin' on the Country charts but Jim's came first and sold more, so that would to me be the tie braker. So there is another thing I never thought about before that our radio friend thought of today. Only three weeks to the tribute show, get your requests ready, it will be the audience's show this year.
Don
