  • John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 - November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably in 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and in 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". His first hit, a number 1 song in 1959, was "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)".
    During 1960, Horton had two other successes with "North to Alaska" for John Wayne's movie, North to Alaska, and "Sink the Bismarck". Horton is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame

      @Alex Jones it was a great shup for the Nazis and there would be no way the British would have captured it without sinking it but if they did capture it that means that the British would have to stuck knowing that their sailing in a nazie ship and be critisized for not sinking it

    A fantastic song, of course the war had not just begun in 1941! It was 2 years in (longer if you count Japan in China)

      I think it’s referring to the beginning of the battle with the Bismarck

    • @LlamasOnMySofa
      @LlamasOnMySofa Год назад +1

      No, he's referring to US joining WW2... It was 1939-1945 in Europe. US "joined" in '41.

      Greetings from London. It is good, even though the US took a few years to get into it! LOL! I'm joking. It's all been sheeeite but here we are. And Johnny was very much a teacher as well as a singer. Historical, not personally aggressive. So enjoy the tune lovely!
