- 60s Country Ballad from the soundtrack of "Cottonpickin' Chickenpickers" (1967) an American "Hicksploitation" film produced by Southeastern Pictures Corporation directed by Larry E. Jackson whose cast includes some great Country Music artists including among others : Del Reeves, David Houston, Mel Tillis ...
This exuberant and zany comedy takes us through improbable scenarios with southern flavors and unfolds to vibrant Country and Western sounds.
Charles David Houston (December 9, 1935 - November 30, 1993)
was an American country music singer, born in Bossier City in northwestern Louisiana, United States.
His peak in popularity came between the mid-1960s and the early 1970s.
He started in the middle 50s at RCA Records, then at Sun and Phillips International.
David was a regular singer as a teenager on the Louisiana Hayride (KWKH of Shreveport, Louisiana) in 1956 and also on the Ozark Jubilee (ABC-TV) in 1957.
Apparently, his soaring tenor voice wasn't totally appreciated.
He found trouble getting work in the music business, and ended up as an insurance underwriter.
But record producer Billy Sherrill brought Houston into the fold when Epic Records was still a young label (the early '60s), and Houston brought the company its first real hit with "Mountain of Love."
His biggest success came in 1966, when his recording of "Almost Persuaded", topped the Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart for nine weeks, and garnered Houston a pair of Grammy Awards and brought Pop recognition as well.
A member of The Grand Ole Opry since 1971, he racked up 28 hit records over a decade, including duets with Tammy Wynette and Barbara Mandrell.
David Houston made his last appearance on the show on November 6, 1993, later in the month he suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and remained in a coma for five days until his death on November 30, 1993,
in Bossier City, one week before his 58th birthday.
He had been residing in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner.
