Today's Morning Edition music is from Buck Owens with "Waitin' in Your Welfare Line," which was No. 1 on the Billboard Country chart 50 years ago today.

It was his ninth straight single to top the charts.

At the time, he was in the middle of an impressive streak. Between 1963 and 1967, Owens released 14 songs in a row that topped the country music chart.

Friday, by the way, is the 10th anniversary of his passing.
