He had around 20 #1 hits. Definately more my parents gig, but he would definately qualify as legendary.

Makes me sad to think that he's going to remembered for Hee Haw more than the excellent music he recorded long before that show ever aired. It was cool to see Dwight Yoakam hook up with him.

RIP.

Absolutely agree with the two posters above me, but I must say that as the years have passed, I have learned to enjoy occasional viewings of 'Hee-Haw' much more than when I was a kid.
