This honky-tonk hero enjoyed two hit periods: the mid-’50s on Decca and then from 1964–80 on Starday, Chart and Gusto. These 56 tracks take us to the top: his MGM and Decca A- and B-sides from ’49 to ’59 including his most memorable duets. His Decca hits "Are You Mine" (with Goldie Hill), "Why Baby Why," "If Jesus Came to Your House," "Little Rosa" (with Webb Pierce) and "Hold Everything (Till I Get Home)" join "Who’s Lonely Now?," "Why Pretend," "When I Get Rich," "Big Dipper," "Till Today," "Outlaw," "Ko Ko Mo," "Sixteen Tons," "Wrong," "Four Arms," "A Lot Like You," "Once More," "Missing You" and more from the first decade of this longtime Grand Ole Opry favorite!
