The name Webb Pierce is one best known, perhaps, to real Country music aficionados, and yet, surprisingly, he had more number one Country Music hits in the 1950s than any other artist, and that includes legends such as Hank Williams, Eddy Arnold, Roy Acuff, and Lefty Frizzell. His melancholy HonkyTonk music, sung in a keening, plaintive vocal style, was phenomenally popular, marking him out as one of the most important Country artists of all time, having 34 consecutive Top Ten hits from 1952 to 1957, including 13 number ones.
