On this day in 1967, Flatt & Scruggs released the country classic “Foggy Mountain Breakdown”. Though halting on the charts at #55, the song is known throughout the world, most notably for being used as background music in the movie Bonnie & Clyde. After being in that film, the song was used in other films and television shows with chase scenes and in other comedic circumstances.
In 2004, “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” was selected as one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress that year to be added to the National Recording Registry.
