5/23 - GRAND OLE OPRY HONORS MARGARET WHITING AND TONY BENNETT WITH HALL OF FAME EXHIBIT
Margaret and Tony were honored as pop artists not only for their contributions which helped build bridges between the musical genres, but whose early crossover work introduced audiences to the emerging new sound
and sensibility of modern country western music. The exhibit features Margaret and Jimmy Wakely's GOLD RECORD for their Capitol hit "Slippin' Around" which surpassed sales of 1,000,000 copies in June of 1952, as well as Margaret's plaque recognizing her as an honorary member of the Grand Ole Opray after her very first performance at the Opry.
