Song saturday; King of the Road.

I used to love this song, its so old, I can't remember the last time I heard it. It seems like an appropriate song to post just before I leave for my little holiday.

  5. This is still heard in the US in advertisements for travel and auto sales. The song and Roger Miller were what we call a crossover hit. Music recorded for a specific genre, such as country and western, crosses over to become a hit on charts for other genres such as popular music or rock.
