I would say
Roy "The King Of Country Music" Acuff
Pee Wee King
George Harvey Strait AKA "King George"
George Jones "The King Of No-Shows"
Porter Wagoner has been called "The King Of Country Gospel"
Jimmy Martin "The King Of Bluegrass"
Syd Nathan "The Founder of King Records"
James King, one of my favorite singers.

1. One is a Wynn Stewart song
2. Two is a Jimmy Dean (the King of pork Sausage?) song
Are the other two are Roger (King of The Road) Miller songs?

How about Ned (Jack to a King) Miller
Or Spade Cooley "The King Of Western Swing"
Roy Rogers "King Of The Cowboys"
WKNG "King Country Radio" in Georgia

1. Buck Owens (sweethearts in heaven)
Didn't Buck, remake that Wynn Stewart song, as a duet with Rose Maddox?

I'm going to have to go to my storage unit and dig out some old LP's.

Roger Miller - "Poor Little John"
Buck Owens - "Sweethearts in Heaven"
Jimmy Dean - "What this Old World Needs"

Faron Young had the hit on "That's the Way I Feel" but Roger Miller wrote it...

"1.Sweethearts in Heaven. 2. What this old world needs. 3. Poor little John. 4.That's the way I Feel."


Buck Owens = "Sweethearts in Heaven"
Jimmy Dean = "What this old world needs"
Roger Miller = "Poor little John"
George Jones = "That's the way I Feel"

Hello Joe Casey,You're right about them kings,but,you forgot Garth Brooks,Ronnie Milsap,John Anderson,Charley Prdie,Marty Stuart,Vince Gill,Randy Travis,Clint Black & King Cotton Hot Dogs. For these guys to still be around and hold up the power of Country Music, you have to give to Alan Jackson. Sincerely in Country Music & all Styles. > Leo J.Eiffert,Jr.
