#Interestingly After her pop flirtation, Tanya Tucker roared back in the ‘80s with at least a couple of dozen Top Ten country singles. Longevity is the name of the game… Tanya was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2023. Legend status, officially achieved! #TanyaTucker #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Tanya Tucker has been a country powerhouse since 1972, when she broke through at age 13 with “Delta Dawn.” She followed with “What’s Your Mama’s Name,” “Blood Red and Goin’ Down,” and “Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)” all went to #1 on the country chart. #OneHitWondered

#OneHitHistory Happy birthday to country music superstar Tanya Tucker, #BOTD in 1958. In 1975, Tanya became a rare country star who had a hit crossover onto the #Billboard #Top40… “Lizzie and the Rainman” spent 2 weeks on the chart, peaking at #37. It was her only #Top40 hit. #OneHitWondered

Aerosmith's Joe Perry once unfortunately had to sell his 1959 Gibson Les Paul during his 1982 divorce.
Later, he found the guitar was owned by Slash.
At Joe's 50th birthday party, Slash gave him the guitar as a gift.

Back when this was first popular no one cared about protein. It was all just calories in - calories out.

It's an old Weight Watchers diet trick. Diet soda has zero calories and zero sugar so the brownies and cake have fewer calories and grams of sugar.

Found this terrible old movie from 1960 on YouTube, "13 Ghosts". LOL I can't imagine this was scary even then. Early role for Martin Milner (Adam-12).
