1985- The super group of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson appear at No. 1, under the name Highwaymen, with the song 'Highwayman.' The Grammy winning song is penned by Jimmy Webb.
1977- Steve Wariner has his first recording session, cutting 'I'm Already Taken' at RCA Studio B.
