Buck has 21 #1 songs that charted on the Billboard country music charts over his incredible career, enshrined in the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. His career began in a very quite way, releasing 8 songs that couldn’t hit the charts until 1959, where “Second Fiddle” and “Under Your Spell Again” gave his the start he needed. In the 60s Buck scored 14 #1 songs in a row, from “Act Naturally” in 1963, to “Your Tender Lovin Care” in 1966. “Made in Japan” was his last #1 song in 1971.
