https://tasteofcountry.com/stonewall-jackson-dead-dies/
Stonewall Jackson — the Grand Ole Opry's most senior member — has died. Jackson notched hit songs in three different decades and was a familiar face at the Opry for over 50 years. "Waterloo" and "B.J. the D.J." were his two No. 1 hits but he placed 11 songs inside the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
The 89-year-old was a member of the Grand Ole Opry for 65 years, making him the most tenured member until his death on Saturday (Dec. 4). He joined the Opry on Nov. 3, 1956 and later recorded a live album from the stage. "Don't Be Angry" (1964), "A Wound Time Can't Erase" (1962), "Stamp Out Loneliness" (1967) and "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" (1971) were among his other commercially successful songs. The latter was a cover of a Lobo song and Jackson's final Top 10 hit.
