0:00It's March 26. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, powered by AI, your daily dose of celebrity buzz. A classic country tune just marked a huge milestone. Buck Owens and his band The Booker Ruse took, I've got a tiger by the tail, to number one on the Billboard Hot Country singles chart back in 1965. It stayed there for five solid weeks and became one of his most famous tracks. The song dropped just weeks before in December 1964. It even broke into the pop world, hitting number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, a real win for country back then. Listeners connected with its fresh Bakers Field vibe, the Gritty California style Owens pushed with sharp guitars and a B drive. That sound stood out against the polished Nashville hits of the time. Owens drew the idea from a simple gas-at-slok in during a writing session, turning it into his sixth country number one. Years later, in 1999, the track landed in the Grammy Hall of Fame for its big influence.
