Hank Williams Hank Williams (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953), born Hiram King Williams, was an American singer-songwriter and musician regarded as among the greatest country music stars of all time. He charted eleven number one songs between 1948 and 1953, though unable to read or write music to any significant degree. His hits included "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Hey Good Lookin'" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry".
Williams died at age 29; his death is widely believed to have resulted from a mixture of alcohol and drugs. His son Hank Williams, Jr., daughter Jett Williams, and grandchildren Hank Williams III, Holly Williams, and Hilary Williams are also professional singers.
His songs have been recorded by hundreds of other artists, many of who have also had hits with the tunes, in a range of pop, gospel, blues and rock styles. Performers including Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Beck Hansen, Johnny Cash, Tony Bennett, The Residents, Patsy Cline, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong have covered Williams. |
