Born 118 Years Ago Today in Chicago, the Music Visionary Who Signed Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline and Helped Make Nashville the Country Music Capital

On this day (November 10) in 1908, powerhouse country music executive Paul Cohen was born in Chicago, Illinois.

Cohen’s energetic production style and keen business acumen helped shift the epicenter of country music operations from the Northwest to Nashville, transforming what was then dubbed “hillbilly music” into the booming multi-billion dollar industry it is today. He also guided the careers of many high-profile hitmakers, signing Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, and Red Foley — just to name a few.

Breakfast runs all day, so pancakes at dinnertime are completely fair game.
