Jack Greene's career started with Earnest Tubb as guitar player, drummer, singer and emcee.  At Tubb's urging, he pursued a solo career that sky rocketed in 1967 with the song, "There Goes My Everything."  The tune was number one for 7 weeks and led him to become the CMA's 1st Male Vocalist of the Year.  It also earned album and song of the year.
