"Come Dancing" by The Kinks was inspired by the older sister of Ray Davies, who would make guys take her out dancing and spend their money on her, only to send them home frustrated with just a peck on the cheek.
Alan Jackson was born Alan Eugene Jackson on October 17, 1958, in Newnan, Georgia. He grew up with mother Ruth, father Joseph (better known as Gene), and four older sisters in a home that was built around his grandfather's toolshed. Alan primarily listened to gospel music during his youth until he was introduced to the music of Hank Williams Jr., Gene Watson, and John Anderson by a friend. Jackson attended Elm Street Elementary and Newnan High School, and after graduation, he joined a band called Dixie Steel. Alan started writing music in 1983, when he was in his mid-twenties, and at age 27, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a music career. In 1987, he recorded the album "New Traditional" in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and it was reportedly only released in Japan.
