“The Legend Of Bonnie And Clyde” #1 Country 4/27/1968

Not to be confused with Georgie Fame’s record on the same subject, using “legend” in the title instead of Fame’s “ballad.” The condensed bio of the 1930’s crime duo became Merle Haggard’s fourth country #1 this week in ‘68. However, the B-side, “Today I Started Loving You Again,” while not even promoted became a staple of country radio and IMHO the best tune Hag ever did.
