March 10th.Today's Country Birthdays:Ralph Emery (1933) 75 years old Daryle Singletary (1971) 37 years old Carrie Underwood (1983) 25 years old Chart Highlights:Country talk show host Ralph Emery had only one country hit, Hello Fool (1961 #4). This was an 'answer song' to Faron Young's Hello Walls (1961 #1) Daryle Singletary most successful single was Amen King of Love (1997 #2). He had two other T10 singles: I Let Her Lie (1995 #2) and Too Much Fun (1996 #4). What else is there to say about Carrie Underwood. From American Idol to the top of her game on the country charts. Except for Inside Your Heaven (2005 #50), I'll Stand By You (2007 #41) and Don't Forget To Remember Me (2006 #2), every other song of hers has gone #1. Her chart best? That's up for personal opinion at this point, and what a selection indeed! (and no I didn't forget about Daryle and Carrie, their birhtday's were for today. )
