| - Michael Webb Pierce (August 8, 1921 – February 24, 1991) was one of the most popular American honky tonk, rockabilly vocalists, guitarists of the 1950s, charting more number one hits than any other country artist during the decade.His biggest hit was %22In the Jailhouse Now,%22 which charted for 37 weeks in 1955, 21 of them at number one. Pierce also charted number one for several weeks' each with his recordings of %22Slowly%22 (1954), %22Love, Love, Love%22 (1955), %22I Don't Care%22 (1955), %22There Stands the Glass%22 (1953), %22More and More%22 (1954), %22I Ain't Never%22 (1959), and his first number one %22Wondering,%22 which stayed at the top spot for four of its 27 weeks' charting in 1952.For many, Pierce, with his flamboyant Nudie suits and twin silver dollar-lined convertibles, became the most recognizable face of country music of the era and its excesses. Pierce was a one-time member of the Grand Ole Opry and was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. A tribute album in his honor (produced by singer/songwriter Gail Davies) was released in 2001 entitled Caught In The Webb - A Tribute To Country Legend Webb Pierce.
