Brace yourself for a slice of country music history that reads like the most cinematic tale you’ve ever heard: back on this very date in 1976, Marty Robbins Enterprises hit the summit of the country charts with “El Paso City,” securing his fifteenth number-one single and etching his name deeper into the annals of country legend.
