Henson
Cargill had tried his hand at being a lawyer, rancher, and deputy sheriff before
settling on country music as a career after returning to Oklahoma from Colorado
State University. He began playing local bars and was asked to join the
Kimberlys by their leader, Harold Gay. Cargill went to Nashville in the mid-'60s
and, after auditioning for different labels, signed with Fred Foster at Monument
in 1967. Foster teamed Henson with producer Don Law to record the Jack Moran
song "Skip a Rope." The single was a tremendous success and not only topped the
country charts for five weeks, but also crossed over to the Top 25 on the pop
charts. During 1968-1969, Henson went on to have two more Top 20 country hits,
including "None of My Business." In 1969, he also began hosting Avco
Broadcasting's syndicated show Country Hayride and recorded steadily for the
next few years. In 1971, the single "The Most Uncomplicated Good-Bye I've Ever
Heard" hit the Top 20, and two years later he recorded two Top 30 hits,
including "Some Old California Memory." Cargill's next hit, however, was over
six years in coming. Finally, in 1979, "Silence on the Line" made the Top 30.
Cargill eventually left Nashville and returned to Oklahoma, but continued to
perform sporadically. During the 1980s and '90s, Cargill was a fixture on the
Las Vegas/Reno casino entertainment circuit. In 2003, he issued All American
Cowboy through his website. The double album featured re-recorded versions
of hits like "Skip a Rope," as well as new material.
