Jones began recording country music in the 1950s. His first hit was "Why Baby Why," which he recorded in 1955. In 1957, he joined the Grand Ole Opry and continued to write hit songs into the 1980s.

    On this Day in History: September 12, 1940 - Near Montignac, France, a collection of prehistoric cave paintings are discovered by four teenagers who stumbled upon the ancient artwork after following their dog down a narrow entrance into a cavern.
