...some artists like Jerry Lee Lewis who played both sides of the street. Once the titles were all country, but now Rod Stewart, J. Geils, Dr. John, the Rolling Stones, and Creedence Clearwater Revival are in the same AMI Rowe three-plays-for-a-quarter machine with Johnny Paycheck, Porter Wagoner, Tennessee Pullybone, Charley Pride, and Tammy Wynette. You can hear Buck Owens sing "Jack Daniels (Old No. 7)" as you get a 30-cent draft from Oley (Olga) Sopotnick, then put your quarter on the eight ball table and hear "Arms Full of Empty" and "Borrowed Angel" before Cecil...

Although the same rules apply to whites, blacks contend that the burden has fallen unfairly on them because racist hiring practices have lumped them in the industry's dirtiest, hottest jobs, from which the promotion lines go only a short...

The supervisor, who is supposed to meet with secretaries every six months to hear complaints, "does no more than leave her week's paycheck on the desk and leave," she said...
Billy Sherrill has performed the same kind of wonders for more than 30 country-style singers, including such other stars as Johnny Duncan, Tanya Tucker and Johnny Paycheck. In all, he has more than 50 No. 1 hits to his credit. Nowadays, a week rarely passes without a couple of Sherrill-produced records among the top ten. Last week, for example, there were The Midnight Oil with Barbara Mandrell (7) and We're Gonna Hold On with George Jones and Tammy Wynette (8). Little wonder, then, that many people who once spoke of the Nashville Sound have begun referring...
