Where Were You Forty Years Ago? Top Country Hits from 1984

"You Look So Good In Love" by George Strait

This first song was recorded by George Strait and was the first single off the album Right or Wrong . "You Look So Good in Love" was among Strait's debut music videos, however the King of Country was not a fan of the "romantic and slow" feel. Strait ended up disdaining it and not doing another music video for quite some time. "You Look So Good in Love" was just another chart-topper in Strait's meteoric rise to fame and was his third number one hit.

"If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)" by Alabama

This catchy Lone Star State tune was the 14th consecutive chart-topper for Alabama. The hit song was an ode to Texas musician, Bob Wills, with a chorus reference to his song " Faded Love." Texans have used it as an anthem and a song of pride for the last 40 years. Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) even used it in a campaign ad, "If You Are Gonna Run In Texas" for his 2018 theme song.
