These songs topped the Hot Country Songs chart in 1979 and did more than stand the test of time. They're even better 46 years ...

Country Music legend Charlie Daniels, best known for his monster 1979 hit “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” died Monday of a hemorrhagic stroke. He was 83.

The 1979 version of “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man” is structurally similar to the finished take, with Prince using the same verses and chorus on both renditions.
