DEF: Willie Nelson “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys”
Willie Nelson topped Billboard‘s Hot Country Singles chart eleven times in the 1980s. Exactly 40 years ago, the first of those eleven songs, “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys,” which was from the 1979 film The Electric Horseman and which also reached number 44 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, climbed to the top of the country chart to begin a two-week reign.
