The Wrecking Crew 40 mins · On this date, December 5, 1964 Ringo by Lorne Greene hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair, and released on RCA Records. It was one of the first instances recorded of a country song hitting the top of the pop charts before charting country. It hit the same spot on the Easy Listening chart, where it retained the #1 position for six weeks. Due in part to its pop and easy-listening chart placement, the single also peaked at number twenty-one on the Hot Country Singles chart. In Canada, it hit #1 on the RPM top singles chart on December 7. The B side of the disc contained a vocal version of the theme song of Greenes TV show Bonanza, with lyrics that were never used on TV. youtu.be/DCyuq-ofnPc
