	09/04/16 - NNHS Newsletter - It's Four in the Morning “I've got all the money I'll ever need, if I die by four o'clock.” - Henny Youngman (16 Mar 1906 - 24 Feb 1998)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   Today's Newsletter theme is sadly suggestive of my new sleeping patterns. I rather like the old (a.k.a. "normal") way better......   

"It's Four in the Morning" (also known as "Four in the Morning") is a song made famous by the country music singer, Faron Young. Originally released in 1971, the song became his first No. 1 hit single on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart since 1961's "Hello Walls."^[1] The song was written by Jerry Chesnut.^[1]

The song was the title track to his 1971 album and became one of his best-known hits. It was also a major smash in the UK, somewhat rare for a country song, peaking at No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1972.^[1]

Its pop-crossover impact at home was far more minor, barely scraping the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 92. It sold over 500,000 copies in the UK, and 750,000 in North America by early 1973, earning Young a gold disc awarded by the RIAA.^[1]

"It's Four in the Morning" has also sealed a place in country music history. A live performance video clip of Young singing the song was the first music video to air on CMT when the cable television channel first launched on March 5, 1983 as CMTV.
