At age 19, Hank Garland recorded his million-selling hit "Sugarfoot rag", although some attribute the song to Bernie B. Smith Jr., published two years earlier by M.M. Cole/BMI as "Bernie's reel".
An instrumental version was the opening and closing theme for ABC-TV's "Ozark jubilee" from 1955-1960. Hank Garland appeared on the "Jubilee" and on Eddy Arnold's network and syndicated television shows.
