“Ring of Fire” became the biggest hit of Johnny Cash’s career, staying at number
one on the charts for seven weeks. It ranked No. 4 on CMT‘s 100 Greatest Songs
in Country Music in 2003 and is at #87 on Rolling Stone‘s list of The 500 Greatest
Songs of All Time.

The song was certified Gold on January 21, 2010 by the R.I.A.A. and has also
sold over 1.2 million digital downloads.

 
Challenge Records was Gene Autry‘s record label

”Tequila” was the ”B” side of the primary recording "Train to Nowhere”
and was the last tune recorded during a jam session. There were only
three takes, and Danny Flores, who played the trademark “dirty sax”
solo on the recording, also spoke the words “Tequila”. Flores had
written the song as well but, because he was signed to another label, 
it was credited to "Chuck Rio", a name he adopted for the stage.

"Love Is Here and Now You’re Gone" became the group’s ninth overall
chart-topper on Billboard’s Hot 100. It was from the Supremes’ album
The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozer-Holland. Named after Motown’s main
production team. 

 
Chubby Checker ( Ernest Evans) turned 72 in October

California and was backed by the Wrecking Crew, one of the most
successful groups of studio musicians in music history.
