Hank Williams was truly America's first superstar. From 1949 to 1953, Hank had 34 consecutive hit singles - 32 hitting the top ten and 11 going to number 1. His songs of "drinking, living, and praying" were never before heard of themes. His troubled and turbulent life was intimately reflected in his music. Hank was only 29 when he died but his legacy as the king of country music lives on.

I've introduced my baby nephew to all the old good music. Like Hank Williams for instance. My nephew which is almost 3 loves his music and sings it. I wish more people loved real music like the few of us in this world...

Hank was Daddy's favorite hillbilly singer. I only saw Daddy cry 3 times in my life...when his father died, when Hank died, and his foxhound, Hank, died.
