David Houston - A Losers Cathedral '1967

Tracks list

Born and raised in Bossier City, Louisiana, country singer David Houston --
whose lineage included Sam Houston and General Robert E. Lee -- became a regular
on The Louisiana Hayride as a teenager. Apparently his soaring tenor voice wasnt
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. In
1966 he broke through to major status with Almost Persuaded, which netted 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
aneurism and remained in a coma for five days until his death on November 30.
