National City by the Joiner, Arkansas Junior High School Band #53 on Billboard Hot 100 in May 1960.


Cuz's first wife to whom he was never married because she paid the Pope to annul it was from Joiner. They went to Wilson to school so there was no Joiner Jr. Hi. and no Jr. Hi band.  "The record was made by a group of studio musicians led by arranger Ernie Freeman. 'Joiner, Arkansas' was credited because it was the hometown of the co-owner of Liberty Records, the label on which this record was released." 


Thanks to Ken.
