Country Music HOF Inducts Ronnie Milsap



Tonight the Country Music Hall of Fame officially inducted their latest class, which was headlined by Ronnie Milsap, Bluegrass legend Mac Wiseman and the late songwriter, Hank Cochran.

Milsap, a classically trained artist with Appalachian roots, got his start with Elvis Presley and would become of the most successful Country Musicians of all time.  Milsap, whose broad spectrum of influences allowed him to have significant crossover success on both the Pop and Jazz and scored an astonishing 40 #1 songs on the Country Music Charts. 

Virginia born Mac Wiseman first became known in the industry by playing with industry legends, The Foggy Bottom Boys and Bill Monroe.  Striking out on his own Wiseman would become very successful and would become somewhat of a cult figure in the genre.

Hank Cochran was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame posthumously.  His best known work was penning Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces” and Ray Price’s “Make the World Go Away”. 

We would like to congratulate the Country Music Hall of Fame, which in the past couple of years has elevated its already strong presence.
