iram “Hank” Williams (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953)
Hwas an American singer-songwriter and musician. Regarded
as one of the most significant and influential American singers and
songwriters of the 20th century, Williams recorded 35 singles (five
released posthumously) that reached the Top 10 of the Billboard
number one (three posthumously).
Born in Mount Olive, Butler County, Alabama, Williams
relocated to Georgiana with his family, where he met Rufus Payne,
an African American blues musician, who gave him guitar lessons
in exchange for meals or money. Payne had a major influence on
Tubb. Williams would later relocate to Montgomery, where he
began his music career in 1937, when producers at radio station
WSFA hired him to perform and host a 15-minute program. He
formed the Drifting Cowboys backup band, which was managed
by his mother, and dropped out of school to devote his time to his
career.
When several of his band members were conscripted into military
service during World War II, Williams had trouble with their
replacements, and WSFA terminated his contract because of his
alcohol abuse. Williams eventually married Audrey Sheppard,
who was his manager for nearly a decade. After recording “Never
Again” and “Honky Tonkin’” with Sterling Records, he signed a
contract with MGM Records. In 1947, he released “Move It on
Over”, which became a hit, and also joined the Louisiana Hayride
radio program.
One year later, he released a cover of “Lovesick Blues” recorded at
Herzog Studio in Cincinnati, which carried him into the
mainstream of music. After an initial rejection, Williams joined
significant degree. Among the hits he wrote were “Your Cheatin’
Heart”, “Hey, Good Lookin’”, and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”.
Years of back pain, alcoholism and prescription drug abuse severely
compromised his health. In 1952 he divorced Sheppard and was
dismissed by the Grand Ole Opry because of his unreliability and
alcohol abuse. On New Year’s Day 1953, he died suddenly while
his brief life, Williams is one of the most celebrated and influential
popular musicians of the 20th century, especially in regard to
country music.
Many artists covered songs Williams wrote and recorded. He
influenced Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee
Stones, among others. Williams was inducted into the Country
Music Hall of Fame (1961), the Songwriters Hall of Fame (1970),
and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1987). The Pulitzer Prize
jury in 2010 awarded him a posthumous special citation “for his
craftsmanship as a songwriter who expressed universal feelings
with poignant simplicity and played a pivotal role in transforming
country music into a major musical and cultural force in American
life.”
