This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in 1963. ==Events== *March — The month marks a dark time for country music, as it lost no less than five people in a seemingly endless string of tragedies. : * On March 5, three of the genre's top stars - Patsy Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas - are killed in a small plane crash near Camden, Tennessee, while on their way to Nashville from Kansas City, Kansas. The pilot, Cline's manager and Copas' son-in-law, Randy Hughes, is also killed. : * En route to Cline's funeral, Jack Anglin - one half of the duo Johnnie and Jack - is killed in a car accident. : * On March 29, Texas Ruby, of the duo Curly Fox and Texas Ruby, is killed in a trailer fire while Fox was performing on the Grand Ole Opry. *July — The first issue of the ''Music City News'' is published. Its publisher is country music star Faron Young. *August - Bradley Kincaid, a pioneer of the genre who had been popular on records and radio from the late 1920s until his retirement in 1950, made new recordings of 168 of his favourite songs - more than half of his known repertoire - at a five-day session for Bluebonnet Records in Fort Worth, Texas. 86 of these songs would be issued on seven LP's between 1963 and 1987, the remainder were issued on six Cassette Tapes in 1988. *September 19 — ''The Jimmy Dean Show'' begins a three-year primetime run on ABC. The show — Dean's second go-around on television, following his 1950s series on CBS — is widely hailed by critics for its class treatment of top country stars of the day, many of whom were getting their first true national exposure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1963 in country music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
