July 21, 1958 Columbia releases Charlie Walker's "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down", written by Harlan Howard. The song's inspiration came from a lovers' quarrel Howard witnessed in a honky tonk, where a man yelled, "You can pick me up on your way down" as his partner walked away. Howard developed this phrase into a song, which became a hit for Walker, reaching #2 on the Country singles chart for 4 weeks.
