Johnny Horton - Johnny Reb

John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 - November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably in 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and in 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". His first hit, a number 1 song in 1959, was "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)".
During 1960, Horton had two other successes with "North to Alaska" for John Wayne's movie, North to Alaska, and "Sink the Bismarck". Horton is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame

'Merely the cause they died for' I grew up talking with the children of Confederate Veterans and I am from a long line of Veterans. Some fought for the Americans and some fought for the Brits during the Revolutionary War. Some fought for the South and some for the North during the War of Northern Aggression. Reading and hearing their stories ( first hand in one case) convinced me that the War of Northern Aggression was not simply about slavery. Many in the South never owned slaves and two of the largest slave owners were Black themselves. No, to reduce this to merely a fight over slavery is to dishonor the Americans (North and South) who died for their beliefs.

@@jamesvangurpan1959 Yes, and Lincoln allowed it so he is guilty, too.

J Wimbish that’s just your hate, not north vs south. You’d be surprised if you actually knew how much of the “north” is conservative in every aspect.

[@outtahere321]

[@1WeWuzKangz]

I'm Hispanic and so driven towards this sound. I feel like I can relate in some wierd way, I feel connected to Johnny reb in the south.

[@gskessingerable]

There's no debate. That man had a beautiful voice and could sing.

[@gbrown2934]

One of the best singers ever, a true American, hero just a perfect individual, all his song were the best.

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

I remember Johnny Horton from my childhood back in the 50's loved all of his songs.

[@davidmelton2091]

Johnny Horton had several hits and was only 35 when he died in a car crash. North to Alaska was his last hit released only 4 days before he died. He had a good voice and didn't put out a bad song.

[@garyfaught3769]

He and actor Ward Bond died on the same day (Nov. 5, 1960), three days before the Kennedy Nixon presidential election. He had finished a show at the Skyline Club in Austin that night and was killed in acar crash in Milano, Texas.

The music I grew up with. American music. Our music.

[@leonhsiung1951]

Rest In Peace, Mr. Johnny Horton, I heard your song, when I was 9 years old, back in 1959. Thank you for your upload.

Dude was so respectful all throughout the intro. I love this behavior so much. It's so cultural, his responses and all. Its so American.
