He went from History Teacher to History Promoter

I am old enough to remember the original radio broadcasts and television performances...Johnny was a teacher that sought a more enjoyable way to teach history...

I grew up listening to these songs on my grandmother's 45's - loved them then, was delighted to find them now to enjoy again!

They Say All Music Guide

16 Biggest Hits may be missing some noteworthy songs, but it does provide an excellent summary of Johnny Horton’s Columbia recordings between 1956 and 1960. Since it does contain the majority of his best-known songs — “The Battle of New Orleans,” “Honky-Tonk Man,” “I’m a One Woman Man,” “Johnny Reb,” “Sink the Bismark,” “Whispering Pines,” “North to Alaska” — at a mid-line price, it’s an excellent introductory collection. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
