"Giddyup Go" #82 (#1 Country) 1/15/1966

This week's #1 country tune from Red Sovine was also a minor entry on the Hot 100. Until "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro in '68, this was maybe the sappiest record of the decade. It's all about a father-son trucker reunion, if you will, with a few plot twists. Goes to show how all-encompassing the pop charts were back then, before musical tastes fragmented into what we have today.
