We recently had the chance to honor the hits and legacy of Kitty Wells on GNA's Sunday Morning Classic Country Hall of Fame Show.  Former Grand Ole Opry Announcer and current member of RFD-TV's "Larry's Country Diner," Keith Bilbrey took the time to share some stories about the Queen of Country Music.

The original Queen of Country Music, Kitty Wells, has passed at the age of 92.  After writing a brief tribute, I was reminded of some great Kitty Wells memories.

The original Queen of Country Music is now a honky tonk angel.  Kitty Wells, the first woman in history to have a No. 1 Country Record with 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels' in 1952 has passed at the age of 92 from complications resulting from a stroke.

Every Sunday Morning I feature the best Country Classics of all-time on GNA's Classic Country Hall of Fame Show. Recently, we showcased the Top 10 Country Songs of the '50s. Do you remember who was popular back then?

Samuel Holland died on Tuesday, January 11 after suffering a heart attack at the age of 71.  Sam, as he was best known, was the owner of the Glad Rag Saloon in Porter Corners, New York.   This little joint located on Holmes Road, off of Route 9N, was the quintessential American honky tonk right here in Upstate New York.
