Johnny Horton Biography
California-born Johnny Horton spent the early fifties recording for labels without notable success. Then he got himself a new manager, left Mercury, signed with Columbia, and slowly his career began to grind into gear. First with "Honky-Tonk Man," a song that was destined to become a classic, then "I'm A One Woman Man," Johnny Horton's first Country Top Ten hit. In 1959 he had his first #1 hit, "When It's Springtime In Alaska," followed by a second #1 hit, "Battle Of New Orleans," which was also a huge pop record. "Battle Of New Orleans" also established Johnny Horton as a story-teller, and subsequent hits, "Johnny Reb," "Sink The Bismark," and "North To Alaska" were in the same mode. Johnny Horton was a great singer, and his death in a car accident in November of 1960 at the peak of his career was a tragedy for Country music.
