Seems like the entire time I was in top 40 there were always country songs that crossed over into top 40. And that was a good thing. Some songs were pure country that found their way into rock and roll. (i.e. "Hillbilly Heaven" For an interesting audio clip type in "Hillbilly Heaven" in the upper left search box and search this blog.) Now days, country is so successful on its own there seems to be no need to crossover. Country stations are often number one in many markets. For an interesting contrast watch CMA and the Grammy Awards shows. Then there is one of my all time favorites Tina Turner. Did you see her on the Grammies? She proves you can be over 60
and still be on top. How about Tina crossing over into country? I can just imagine that.
