People all over the world when you become popular, will follow your way of your music and sometimes the way you handle life about. So being a musician is fun, but you need to be able to be careful with everything that you do in life, because your fans will be going after what you do especially nowadays that the social media is just around our corners. However, about 50 years ago today, musicians are much being loved because of the way they express themselves and that the people can relate so much with every wrotes sanged by an artist. Today, I would to share to you the short but popular life of Mr. Johnny Horton.

                
Johnny Horton was born on April 30, 1925, and his music came to life and to its peak in the 1950’s. He has lot of songs that have loved by lots of people across the Western world. This is a handful of songs that Mr. Horton has sanged and that making this songs as his trademarks as an artist, one is “Honky Tonk Man”, the one that has lightens the day of people that time. The other one is the “Battle of New Orleans” this song has pictured out the British occupation in New Orleans in the state of Louisiana, which is quite interesting to made up a lyrics mixed with a bit of fun in it. The last one would be the “North to Alaska” who helped people imagine what’s the beauty of Alaska and it’s topographic location and also assisted the tourism somehow of the state.


             
Horton was being loved by lots of people, until such time of his career, a life ending car accident that causes his life in November 5, 1960 dying at the young age of 35. Even though people in the Philippines don’t know much of Horton, but there are still Filipino’s who love country music and continue making life to his works as an artist. That’s the everlasting work of being an artist.
