Jack Greene "Statue Of A Fool"
Happy Birthday today to Jack Greene (1/7/30) who was born in Maryville TN. Greene got his start in the record business as a vocalist in Ernest Tubb's band, but he hardly had the same almost-on-key "twang" as his boss. In fact, Greene's smooth, pleasant sound contrasted a great deal with Tubb's blue-collar intonation. Nicknamed "the Jolly Green Giant," Greene learned guitar and drums but mined his vocal chords for a solid string of hit records from 1966-1969, including one with Jeannie Seely, who joined his road show and recorded duets with him for several years. A bit of trivia: in 1967, Greene became the first country artist ever to appear in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Enjoy a video from jack below from 2008 singing Statue Of A Fool, and to support the Classic Country Nation blog click an ad or two, or click the following link to purchase some of Jack's music.
