Almost Persuaded

Today would have been the 78th birthday of David Houston.

David Houston held, until 2012, the record for most weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country (Country and Western back then) chart for a solo act, with his song "Almost Persuaded".

He was at the top for 9 consecutive weeks, from August through October 1966

The song also won the Grammy for Best Country and Western Song for 1966
