Below the steering of Ken Nelson, the producer who headed the country division of Capitol Data, Mr. James scored his greatest hit, Young Love,” (1956), which offered three million copies and have become a No. 1 hit on the country and pop charts the following year.
In 1971, 14 years after the original, James re-recorded that song in a sooner-tempoed, horn-heavy rendition as “That is Why I Love You Like I Do” (the original slower-tempoed tune featured an electric guitar solo); the newly recorded, re-titled model was launched as a single and reached No. 1 in June 1972.
During his streak of consecutive No. 1 hits — a feat surpassed in the historical past of country music only by the vocal group Alabama — Mr. James was named the No. 1 Nation Male Artist of the Decade (the Nineteen Sixties) by Record World journal.<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d2/ xxxsex .jpg/220px-Jedwardyounglove.jpg” width=”257px” alt=”young love”/>
