Considered a pop move during the late '50s with a geminate of huge hits, Jerry Wallace successfully migrated to the country field during the '60s and '70s. Wallace began recording in 1951 and burst onto the pop charts in 1958 on the Challenge label with "How the Time Flies" and the even bigger "Primrose Lane" a year by and by. His focal point became more country-oriented with "Shutters and Boards" and "In the Misty Moonlight" in 1963-64, and he made a full-fledged shift in 1965 subsequently switch to the Mercury label. A move to Liberty in 1968 didn't pay turned, but in 1972, soon subsequently he began recording for Decca, "If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry" topped the country charts (as did the LP To Get to You). During the following class, "Do You Know What It's Like to Be Lonesome" and "Don't Give Up on Me" both reached the Top Five, only Wallace only managed one more Top Ten, 1974's "My Wife's House" (for MCA). He charted continually until the death of the decennium, though, spell recording for MGM, 4 Star, BMA, and Door Knob.
