Leroy Van Dyke

Whenever we're talking about something from the 60s, you're looking at your top five, and it's some songs you know and some songs you don't.

Number five was Walk on By by Leroy Van Dyke.

Don't know that one.

But number four was The Twist by Chubby Checker that I think we all still know to this day.

That's the whole point here.

Then you get Leroy Van Dyke's Walk on By in 1961 as he takes another step into the sexual revolution.

Leroy's secret adulterous relationship is essentially an established arrangement at that point.

Country music, superb at returning to the man in the iron cage and capitulating to inevitability of giving in to temptations and devastating family-destroying sins.

Since the 1990s, women have been disproportionately influential in pushing cultural and social boundaries, even though men often dominate country music in the commercial sense.

This is how country music set the trajectory of culture for the heartland of America.

As we chronicle the breakdown of American society, American morality, and the loss of Western civilization, the names of Dolly Parton, Casey Musgrave, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Leroy Van Dyke, Webb Pierce, and Ernest Tubb will top the list of the destroyers.

All right, a couple of takeaways from all of this.

Now, of, I've gone from the oldest to the youngest in this little group anyway.

The first one is Leroy Van Dyke.

Now, he was born on the 4th of October 1929, would you believe? So he's actually 96, and he lives in Missouri.

Had a lot of country hits.
