Artist Bio:
Johnny Horton was an American country music and rockabilly singer who was born on April 30, 1925, in Los Angeles, California, and tragically died in a car accident on November 5, 1960, in Milano, Texas. He is best known for his historical and patriotic songs, such as "The Battle of New Orleans" and "North to Alaska," which were both chart-topping hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s.


Horton's music often featured a blend of country, rockabilly, and folk influences, and he was known for his distinctive voice and storytelling lyrics. He was posthumously inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2009 and continues to be remembered as a significant figure in country music history.
