Signed to the Hickory label, he recorded two studio albums in his career and charted several singles on Billboard Hot Country Songs, including the number one "Talk Back Trembling Lips" and six other top ten hits. In 1962, Ashworth signed with Hickory Records, owned by Roy Acuff and scored a Top Five hit with "Everybody But Me" and a Top Ten with "I Take The Chance." But it was his third release for Hickory that became a smash hit and his signature song. "Talk Back Trembling Lips" hit number one and stayed on the national country chart for 42 weeks, and peaked at #101 on the pop charts. Voted "Most Promising Male Artist" by Cashbox, Billboard and Record World magazines in 1963 and 1964, he was invited to join the cast of the Grand Ole Opry in 1964. More chart records followed including "The D.J. Cried," "At Ease Heart" and "I Love To Dance With Annie." Ashworth continued to be a regular performer at the Opry until his death in 2009.
