Following that performance, Wright and Anglin decided to make their partnership official and formed the "Johnnie and Jack" music duo for which they became famous.

[4] Jack Anglin went back to Nashville and began performing at the Grand Ole Opry as part of Roy Acuff's Smoky Mountain Boys band.

[5] Anglin played with the band for six months before World War II broke out, and Jack decided to enlist in the United States Army.

In an effort to solidify their position in the southern country music world, Johnnie and Jack founded the Louisiana Hayride Barn show in 1947.

Beginning their tour with the Opry, Johnnie and Jack performed together over 3,000 times throughout five countries traveling 100,000 miles a year and writing over 100 songs.

[6] On March 8, 1963, Anglin veered off New Due West Avenue, down a ditch twelve foot deep into a tree in Madison, Tennessee.

It was the hair-cut that made Jack Anglin late and put him in a rush to get to Cline's service on time, causing him to speed and lose control of his vehicle.

In his 1993 memoir, By The Seat of my Pants, musician Buddy Killen claimed Jack Anglin was headed the opposite direction of the funeral and did not die in the crash.
