"A White Sport Coat" was a huge hit for Marty Robbins in 1957. Robbins is rightfully remembered as a country singer, but he had several crossover hits which sold well to the pop market, beginning with this one. In 1957 rock & roll was in its infancy and rockabilly was one of the seminal forces that shaped the genre. Marty Robbins, like several of his traditional country contemporaries sold well to the rock & roll market during these times. The list of primarily country artists with big hits on Top 40 radio is, of course, much too exhaustive to try and quantify here, but it starts with Elvis (yes, Elvis) and moves on to Carl Perkins, Sonny James, Guy Mitchell, "Tennessee" Ernie Ford, Don Chrrry, Ferlin Husky, Conway Twitty, and Stonewall Jackson, to name but a few. Mercifully, this trend of pure country crossovers did not contine. Unfortunately, however, rockabilly, with its energy and innovation, died along with it. More's the pity.
