oldies on the map: songs of the 1940s–1950s

Muskegon, Michigan

By hello

Song: Muskegon Popularized by: Johnny Horton Written by: Johnny Horton A late-1950s country hit that celebrates Muskegon with the same storytelling bounce Horton brought to his best-known records. Horton wrote it himself, and the song stands out as a spirited, very specific hometown-style tribute that helped keep a midwestern city name in the jukebox era.
