I'll Be the Bill You Forgot to Pay

It's time for a little country cross-over circa 1981 for you today from the smooth silky voice of Ronnie Milsap. The Excellent 80's brought you "Smokey Mountain Rain" a few years back which is probably my favorite Ronnie Milsap song ever. But, this song which hit #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts is another classic song of his. Plus, he's wearing the same suit jacket that I like to wear to church every so often. Here is "There's No Gettin' Over Me"...

I Thumbed My Way From L.A. Back to Knoxville

Like I do from time to time, I bust you off a little country to keep you honest amongst all the hair bands, rap stars, pop icons, and new wave English bands that appear frequently in here... today's artist is making his first appearance in the Excellent 80's and was a country music superstar... at one time Ronnie Milsap had a string of 11 #1 hits and, overall, has hit the top of the country charts 40 times... he was also a popular crossover artist back in the early 80's... today's song reached #1 on the country charts, but also cracked the top 25 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 back in 1981... a performance from the Grand Ole Opery, here is the legendary Ronnie Milsap with "Smokey Mountain Rain"...
