On the night of November 4, 1960, Johnny Horton finished his set at the Skyline Club in Austin, Texas, packed his things, and started the long drive home to Shreveport. The room had already carried one piece of country music history. Eight years earlier, Hank Williams had performed his final public show on that same stage before dying on New Year’s Day 1953. By 1960, Horton had become one of the biggest country crossover stars in America, turning historical stories into radio hits with “The Battle of New Orleans,” “Sink the Bismarck,” and “North to Alaska.” He had every reason to believe another busy year was waiting for him. Shortly after 1:30 the next morning, Horton was driving his Cadillac across a railroad overpass near Milano, Texas, with manager Tillman Franks in the front seat and guitarist Tommy Tomlinson behind them. An oncoming pickup crossed the center line and slammed into their car. Franks and Tomlinson were badly injured but survived. Horton was taken toward a hospital in Cameron and died from his injuries at thirty-five. The news carried another connection that was almost impossible to separate from the crash. Horton’s wife, Billie Jean, had previously been married to Hank Williams. She had become Hank’s widow in 1953, then married Horton later that same year and built another family with him. Johnny became a father to her daughter Jeri Lynn and the couple had two daughters of their own, Melody and Yanina. Seven years after losing one country star husband, Billie Jean was widowed again. The parallels did not end with the marriage. Both Hank Williams and Johnny Horton had played their final public performances at the Skyline Club before dying suddenly away from the stage. By the time Horton’s funeral was held in Shreveport on November 8, Johnny Cash — one of his closest friends — stood among the mourners and read from the Gospel of John. Horton’s records kept moving after his death. “North to Alaska” continued climbing the charts, tied to the John Wayne film Horton never lived to see released. The Skyline Club eventually disappeared from Austin, but its place in country history remained unusually heavy: two singers, eight years apart, leaving the same stage without knowing they had just played their final show. – Country Music
