In country music, Billy Ray Cyrus is best known for his smash single 'Achy Breaky Heart.' But in the homes of millions of young TV viewers, he's Robby Ray Stewart, dad to daughter Miley Cyrus, a/k/a Hannah Montana on the wildly popular Disney series.

While most fans of the show weren't even born when Billy Ray topped the charts with his first hit single, the singer himself remembers very well where he was in 1992, the first time he heard the song on the radio. Turns out he'd already gotten used to hearing himself on the radio for a while.

"During the '80s, living up in West Virginia, I made several records that –- one in particular –- got a lot of airplay in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, called 'It Ain't Over Till It's Over,'" Billy Ray tells The Boot. "Thinking back on it, those songs I would hear just all over ... driving, going back and forth to my gigs. By the time I heard 'Achy Breaky Heart' on the radio, I had been hearing my songs for years on radio, but it was just more local, Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia."

As for the song that would become his signature tune, Billy Ray recalls, "I was in an apartment called the Lakes, a little bit south of Nashville. I had just gone from living in my car to getting this little apartment. They had a little weight room in a little tiny gym. I was in there working out and heard the song come on the radio playing out of Bowling Green, Ky. It was like, 'All right!'"
