Buck Owens
Alvis Edgar "Buck" Owens Jr. was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He was the frontman for The Buckaroos, which had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country music chart. He pioneered what came to be called the Bakersfield sound, named in honor of Bakersfield, California, Owens's adopted home and the city from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call "American music".
"I Shall Sing No Song That Is Not A Country Song. I Shall Make No Record That Is Not A Country Record. I Refuse To be Known As Anything But A Country Singer. I Am Proud To be Associated With Country Music. Country Music And Country Music Fans Made Me What I Am Today. And I Shall Not Forget It."
"Ive got a tiger by the tail its plain to see I wont be much when youve got through with me Well Im losing weight and Im turning mighty pale Looks like Ive got a tiger by the tail."
"Where, where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over, And thought I found true love. You met another and Pfft! you were gone."
