Earl Scruggs

On March 11, 1969, Flatt and Scruggs ended their musical partnership, which spanned more than 25 years.

To this day, the song lives on.

Country music had a big role in television in the 1960s, thanks in part to these standout moments.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame features everyone from actors to radio personalities, and there are plenty of Nashville names enshrined there.

Dec. 8, 1945, was an historic day for country music.

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs are known as pioneers of bluegrass music and their band, the Foggy Mountain Boys, is considered one of the most iconic groups in the genre's history.

From the Opry stage to an early morning show on WSM to syndicated television, Flatt, Scruggs and The Foggy Mountain Boys were an integral part of the country music entity.

May he rest in peace.

After delays due to COVID-19, the first ever Earl Scruggs Music Festival is finally set for its debut.

While it’s hard to spin the breakup of a legendary act as a completely positive development, there are at least two reasons to be thankful that Flatt and Scruggs parted ways.
