On this day in 1999, I topped the country singles chart with a song that was upbeat and beachy, then in 2017, I collaborated with David Lee Murphy for a calming hit that resonates even more in these crazy days. Who the heck is that?
Ans: Kenny Chesney. (The song in 1999 was "How Forever Feels" and in 2017 the song was "Everything's Gonna Be Alright.")
