Carl Butler & Pearl Ad Slick



Taken in the driveway of their "Crossover Acres Ranch", this ad slick shows Pearl on one of Carl's prized horses. There is no date on this ad slick so I am just guessing that it has to be in 1963 when "Don't Let Me Cross Over" was still in the number one spot.

Just as the ad says: Still #1, especially for this fan. It's kind of ironic that the ad reads the way it does because "Don't Let Me Cross Over" and "Still" battled for the top position on the charts all year long in 1963. "Don't Let Me Cross Over" was in the top slot for 29 weeks, "Still" was there for 26 weeks yet won the song of the year award that year. I just wonder how that set with Carl.

Until next time, Keep on Honkytonkin'!
