DeFord Bailey (December 14, 1899 -- July 2, 1982) was an early country music star and the first African American performer on the Grand Ole Opry. Bailey played several instruments but is best known for his harmonica tunes. He was one of the few notable African-American stars in country music.
Truly wonderfull! Reminds me of my childhood...

Bailey was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on November 15, 2005. I remember when his family came up on stage that evening.

I can't believe he hasn't been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry hall of fame. It would have been nice.
