Ferlin Eugene Husky (December 3, 1925 – March 17, 2011)[1] was an American country music singer who was equally adept at honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, rockabilly and pop tunes.
From 1948 to 1953, he recorded under the stage name Terry Preston. .[2] He also created and recorded as the comic, outspoken hayseed character, Simon Crum. In the 1950s and '60s, his hits included "Gone" and "Wings of a Dove", each reaching number one on the country charts. Between 1953 and 1975, he had 11 top 10 hits, two dozen top 20 hits and a total of 50 songs in Billboard magazine's top 100 country songs. His versatility and matinee-idol looks propelled a seven-decade entertainment career.[2] In 2010, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
