  • Il suo primo successo, pubblicato nel 1959, fu The Battle of New Orleans, una canzone crossover di Jimmy Driftwood che raggiunge la prima posizione nella Billboard Hot 100 per sei settimane, in Canada ed in Australia e che l'anno seguente vinse il premio Grammy per il miglior brano country & western. The Battle of New Orleans è classificata da Billboard al primo posto tra le canzoni country di tutti i tempi e nel 2001 è stata messa alla posizione n.333 tra le migliori canzoni del secolo. (it)

  • Джо́нни Хо́ртон (англ. John Gale "Johnny" Horton; 30 апреля 1925 — 5 ноября 1960) — американский певец в стиле кантри. Очень популярными были такие его песни, как «Honky Tonk Man» (его самый первый хит) и «North to Alaska». Под конец карьеры записал серию исторических песен-историй, среди которых «Johnny Reb», «Sink The Bismark» и «The Battle Of New Orleans»; теперь его больше всего помнят именно благодаря им. С написанной Джимми Дрифтвудом песней «The Battle Of New Orleans» Хортон побывал на первом месте не только кантри-, но и главного поп-чарта страны «Billboard Hot 100».. (ru)
