Music City News was founded in 1963, by country music singer Faron Young. In 1967, the publication began to confer annual awards; in 1978, it began televising them, with the inclusion of artist performances. These awards were not decided by a secretive committee or by an "association," but by fan nominations. Each installment of the Country Legends Live series highlights performances from particular annual awards shows. Country Legends Live, Vol. 6 offers a "best of" the 1984 Music City News Awards Show and the 1984 This Year in Country Music Show. Featured artists in this installment include the Oak Ridge Boys, Sylvia, Ray Stevens, John Anderson, Don Williams, Vern Gosdin, Lee Greenwood, George Jones, Earl Thomas Conley, Conway Twitty, Janie Fricke, John Conlee, Eddy Raven, George Strait and The Judds.
