John Michael Montgomery

1936 - Roy Orbison is born in Vernon, Texas.

Most artists record success by the number of "weeks" on the chart.  Not Willie Nelson.

1994 - Less than two months after All-4-One netted a gold single for a pop version of "I Swear," John Michael Montgomery's country rendition also goes gold.

'I Swear', 'I Love the Way You Love Me', 'Sold', 'Life's a Dance'...just a very few of the huge hits through the years for John Michael Montgomery, and he will be in town tonight at Banita Creek Hall in Nacogdoches.

2009 - Faith Hill performs "If My Heart Had Wings" at the Washington Convention Center during ABC's "The Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration." Also appearing: Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Sting, Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder.

2010 - Alan Jackson surprises Zac Brown at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena with a 1966 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, a gift of thanks for including him on "As She's Walking Away".

2010 - Mercury releases the two-disc Jamey Johnson album "The Guitar Song".

He has seven number one country singles and a pair of quadruple-platinum albums to his credit, but for John Michael Montgomery, his next album might be his most meaningful. Montgomery is planning a musical collaboration -- with a book to follow -- with his big brother and fellow country singer Eddie Montgomery, best known as one half of the bestselling duo Montgomery Gentry.

2009 - Atlantic releases The Zac Brown Band's "Toes" to radio.

On this day in 2010, Joe Nichols' "Gimmie That Girl," grabbed the top spot on both the Billboard and Mediabase Country Singles charts, marking Joe’s fourth #1.
