Leslie ‘Lucky Buck’ Coal topped the Billboard folk charts in 1952 along with his heartbreak inspired single, “Whiskey for Breakfast”. Flushed with sudden success, Coal signed numerous endorsement deals, the foremost lucrative of which was a contract to become an everyday fixture on the WHB national radio show Giddy Up Y’all!. Coal’s initial role on the morning show was to sing cover songs of the day, but because of ‘lifestyle difficulties’, he was relegated to singing jingles for local businesses. After some unhappy years, Coal ended his contract with WHB and decided to return to his folk music roots. “I’m done singing about washing powders and car dealerships. From now on I’m all about the music, not the cash.” for many years, Coal toured and played to small audiences within the southern states, his meagre earnings barely covering his gas and living expenses. However his luck changed in 2005 when “Whiskey for Breakfast” was sampled in geographical area rapper Kalamitee’s track “Get Drunk”, resulting in substantial royalty  payments and a renewed appreciation of Coal’s original country and western.
