1957 - Columbia Records • Carl Smith (RIP) - Emotions • Written By ~ Kearney • This can be found as the B-side to Why, Why ...Enjoy! • • Carl Milton Smith (March 15, 1927 – January 16, 2010) was an American country singer. Known as Mister Country , he was one of the genre's most successful male artists during the 1950s, scoring 30 top-10 Billboard hits (21 of which were consecutive). Smith's success continued well into the 1970s, when he had a charting single every year but one. In 1952, Smith married June Carter, with whom he had daughter Carlene; the couple divorced in 1956. His eldest daughter Carlene was also the stepdaughter of fellow late country singer Johnny Cash, who was subsequently married to his ex-wife Carter. He later married Goldie Hill, and they had three children together. In 2003, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. According to the Hollywood Walk of Fame website, he was a drinking companion to Johnny Cash, his daughter's stepfather. • • In 1951, his song Let's Live a Little was a big hit, reaching number two on the Billboard country chart. During 1951, he had three other hits, including If the Teardrops Were Pennies and his first number-one hit, Let Old Mother Nature Have Her Way . The songs made Smith a well-known name in country music. His band, the Tunesmiths, featured steel guitarist Johnny Silbert, who added an element of Western swing. • • In 1952, Smith married June Carter, daughter of Maybelle Carter of the Carter Family. It was the first marriage for both. In 1955, the couple had a daughter, Rebecca Carlene Smith, who later became known as Carlene Carter, a country singer in her own right. The couple recorded the duets, Time's a Wastin' and Love Oh Crazy Love . During the rest of the 1950s, Smith made regular appearances on Billboard's country charts, racking up many hits, including 30 in the top 10. His biggest hits include Loose Talk , Hey Joe! , and You Are the One . He had five number-one hits in his career; Loose Talk was his last, in 1955. In 1956, Smith quit the Grand Ole Opry. Soon after, he joined The Phillip Morris Country Music Show and spent more than a year touring the United States, often in direct competition with touring Opry shows. He also made regular appearances on ABC-TV's Jubilee USA and was a fill-in host for Red Foley. • • In 1956, Smith and June Carter divorced. In 1957, he appeared in the movies The Badge of Marshal Brennan and Buffalo Gun, and married country music singer Goldie Hill, best known for the number-one hit I Let the Stars Get In My Eyes . Goldie retired from the music business. By the late 1950s, Smith's success began to dwindle on the country charts, and soon his string of top-10 hits began to dwindle. • • In his later years, Smith lived on a 500-acre horse farm in Franklin, Tennessee, (south of Nashville), where he died on January 16, 2010, at the age of 82. His wife Goldie had died five years prior. He was survived by two sons, Carl Jr. and Larry Dean, and two daughters, Carlene and Lori Lynn. • • If you enjoy classic country music, please subscribe my channel... • • check out my Carl Smith Playlist. • • For awesme playlists by dates and charting artists check out : • Muzik Girl67 @ • youtube.com/Muzikgirl67/videos • • Find my channel @ • youtube.comwhencountrymusicwascountry/videos • • Appreiciate you Listening and sharing...Dan
