NASHVILLE - Longtime Tulsa resident Roy Clark will join Barbara Mandrell and Charlie McCoy as the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Clark is 75 and says being selected to the hall is mind-boggling.
He's probably best known for co-hosting the long-running TV show "Hee Haw."
Mandrell began her professional career when she was 11 and has had hits including "Married But Not to Each Other," "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed" and "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool."
McCoy is best known for his harmonica work and recorded with Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell, Tanya Tucker and many more.
More details as they develop online and in Friday's News Sentinel.
