He had 24 billboard #1 hits and through his career more than 50 million albums sold in the US alone. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013, for his distinct husky voice. That voice produced top hits such as “Lady,” “Lucille,” “We’ve Got Tonight,” “Islands In The Stream,” and “Through the Years.” From all of those, who can forget the song that inspired and launched him into other mediums such as TV, “The Gambler”.
