 Willie Nelson: Dominates country singles chart
Willie Nelson, the country singer has found a top place on Billboard's Hot Country Songs tally.
More news on Willie Nelson has been gathered from quite a number of sources. This week's No. 56 debut of "That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)” is credited to Kenny Chesney with Willie Nelson. Thus it became the first chart appearance by the country legend in almost five years. In fact Nelson was last on the survey in January 2004 with another Chesney collaboration, i.e. the holiday song "Pretty Paper."
Willie Nelson first recorded "That Lucky Old Sun" in the year 1976. The song was written in the year 1949 by Beasley Smith and Haven Gillespie and became No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart that year by Frankie Laine. After that Willie Nelson did many recordings that include covers by Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles. Nat Stuckey took the song to No. 66 on the country chart in the year 1978, the only version of the tune to appear on this list before the Chesney/Nelson duet. Presently "That Lucky Old Sun" has served as the title track of a Brian Wilson album. |
