Artist of the Month – Webb Pierce
? Born: August 1921, West Monroe, Louisiana
? Genre: 1950s Country Music Icon
After the passing of Hank Williams, Webb Pierce became one of the most popular country singers of the decade, topping the charts with numerous hits, including:
- “I Ain’t Never”
- “Slowly”
- “More and More”
- “There Stands the Glass”
- “Love, Love, Love”
- “I Don’t Care”
- “Wondering” (his first #1 hit, staying on the charts for 27 weeks in 1952)
Webb Pierce was known for his showmanship and knack for self-promotion. When he joined the Louisiana Hayride during its first year, he devised a clever strategy to boost his popularity—he would buy tickets for young girls, instruct them to sit in the front row, and encourage them to scream and cheer during his performance. This enthusiasm quickly caught on, skyrocketing his fame.
