He aspired to be an opera singer, and began his career this way, but soon began recording country music inspired by his roots in farming and ranching.[1] His recording of the classic ballad "Wreck of the Old 97" was the first country song reputed to have sold one million copies, although sales figures for pre-World War Two recordings are difficult to verify.
