It was 55 years ago today, on Nov 26, 1963... Columbia released Lefty Frizzell's "Saginaw, Michigan". It hit #1 in March of 1964 and spend 4 weeks at the top. The record turned out to be Lefty's last Number One. Here's a performance on The Porter Wagoner Show that aired on March 1, 1965 | GatorRock

My Uncle Lefty Frizzell, 1970 on “Country Carnival” with Del Reeves. In 1951, he had four songs in the country Top 10 at the same time… a record that shaped the entire genre. This is the voice that influenced Merle, Willie, George, and so many more. 🤍✨ #LeftyFrizzell #CountryMusicHistory #classiccountry #HonkyTonkLegends #MerleHaggard #georgejones #willienelson #grandoleopry | Tess Frizzell
