Answer: Flatts and Scruggs
Lester Flatts and Earl Scruggs made the theme song of "The Beverly Hillbillies" a Number One song on country charts with the help of writer Paul Henning. Neither singer wanted to work on the song, but after Earl's wife watched the pilot episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies" she talked her husband and Lester into providing the music for the lyrics to the theme song.
9. "D-i-v-o-r-c-e"
Answer: Tammy Wynette
Bobby Braddock and Curly Putnam wrote the song for Tammy Wynette. The song held significant meaning for her as her second marriage was ending in 1968 when the song debuted. The song spells out certain words so the singer's four-year old will not know what is being discussed.
