His other country hit was 1971's "Watching Scotty Grow". Mac Davis wrote the song for his son Scotty, and both men joked that the boy now thought Goldsboro was his dad.
8
Had a reputation for occasional clumsiness (such as cutting his bare foot on a Rice Krispie left on the floor), which he took in stride; he told fans in the liner notes to his "Tenth Anniversary Album" that stories they'd heard about it were probably true.
9
Wore contact lenses for years, and recommended them to John Lennon when they met on tour with Roy Orbison. Unfortunately, hard lenses (the only kind available at the time) weren't exactly compatible with the jellybabies thrown by The Beatles's fans, which occasionally hit Lennon in the face and eyes, and he soon gave up on contacts.

Started out in a band called the Webs, who were opening for Roy Orbison on tour when he abruptly invited them to become his new backup band. His years touring and recording with Orbison prepared him for his solo career.
