Do You Remember Country Music's Wild Child Roger Miller? He Had Some Chart Topping Hit's Back In His Day & Really Was Popular!
Country music legend Roger Miller may have died over 20 years ago, but he made quite an impression during his 35-year career, and his influence is still felt today.
So much so that website Country Rebel recently decided to honor what would have been his 80th birthday with a look back at two of his biggest hits: “Dang Me,” and “King of the Road.”
Starting his career as a songwriter, he wrote for other country legends like Jim Reeves before embarking on a successful solo career which reached its peak in the mid-1960s. He was known for his whimsical honky tonk-style hits, three of which made it to number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

He was so awesome
Did a karaoke night in a biker bar. Sang dang me. My sister did all the extra bits. It was an awesome time
Dang me! Dang me! They oughta take a rope and hang me!………
R.I.P
My very first 45 was King of the Road!
He might be king of the road… I admire his music but he’s not King of Country by no means
