To be specific, his driver stopped at a filling station in Oak Hill, West Virginia. About 10 miles from Beckley, West Virginia. He found Hank was unresponsive and he took him to the hospital in Oak Hill, about a block away. The filling station was torn down a couple of years ago. The hospital is still there.

@Gail1Marie4 жыл бұрын
Not just spina bifida, but spina bifida occulta, where part of the spine isn't fully covered. It's caused by a lack of folic acid during pregnancy, so it isn't seen much in the developed world any more. Surgery is available today, but back then for a poor boy? Probably not. So those who call him an alcoholic or drug addict aren't really being fair to him. He was in continual, terrible pain, and medicating himself was the only way he could function.

The thing about im so lonesome I could cry is how many people sing it wrong. if you listen you will hear (have you ever seen a robin weep when leaves begin to die like me hes lost the will to live im so lonesome I could cry.) it seems to change the whole song. at least it did for me when I first caught the real words Hank was singing. I was about 9 years old then. Hank will always be the best of them all.
@douglasd5310 жыл бұрын
You're right...I've noticed that since I was about 14 (I'm 61 now). I think the copyrighted words were "That means he's lost the will to live", but I think Hank changed them when he recorded it. It makes a world of difference. I think he probably wished he'd have written it that way in the first place. "Like me, he's lost the will to live" is a much more intimate and personal lyric. That's the way I sing it.
@steen030510 жыл бұрын

@wingnut4two10 жыл бұрын
douglasd53 Hank didn't actually write the song. The song was written by a gentleman named Paul Gilley from a small town in eastern Kentucky. Mr. Gilley wrote several Hank Sr. songs but, he sold them to Hank so he didn't receive a writers credit for them. Perhaps that is where the lyrics changed. I should add that nobody could've ever sung them like Hank Williams, he's the gold standard by which ALL country music singers are judged!!!

After watching these videos of Hank Williams it appears to me that he was given too much pain medicine for his ruptured disk in his back which caused him to OD just as with Michael Jackson. The doctor was never prosecuted. I believe he was murdered. He was on his way to Canton Ohio to do a show there and after that chances were that he was going to be hired back at the Grand Ole Opry or at least that's what they told him.
@Gail1Marie4 жыл бұрын
Spina bifida occulta, not a ruptured disk. It's a birth defect caused by lack of folic acid in pregnancy; part of his spine was actually exposed. He was in terrible pain his entire life. If he'd been born today, he might've been operated on as a child. But back then, his family couldn't have afforded it (even if the surgery existed). He was self-medicating for pain, not just to feed an addiction to morphine or alcohol.

@@lauraphillips8593 ... scots & the rural south usa have a very deep connection. most poor whites in the south were of scot irish lineage. the scots were brought over by the brits as grunt & slave labor in the south. the scots resented that & hated the high class strata of anglo aristocracy pre revl war. its why many of them were the first to go to the applach & live in the present nc/tenn/va border areas. the hills were also more like their homeland. words like yonder came directly from scotland. when boone opened up the appl trail thru the cumberland gap many of them move up into east tenn., ky & missouri. then when the revl war started they almost all fought against the brits. its one of the reasons military & fierce indiv indepedence (state rights) is a big thing in the south. by the time of the civil war their descendents were called hillbillies & lived mainly in the appalch & some in the ohio valley. interestingly enough when the civil war broke out, most of e tenn fought for the union b/c of their scot lineage & not embracing slavery. lincoln himself was born in the hills of ky.... of course they carried over scot traditions into music. bluegrass is deeply scottish at its roots. if you mix those influences w/ blues of the delta (wh/ hank did) & jazz of new orleans then you had the genesis of rock. hank was in the incubator of all of that.

12 million people wanting to talk about music history. Why does life make me feel like I should explain my views about music too. We will always have something different to say; And Lord, the arguments will follow. Music is just something you like. And if you take up playing it, you play it. Some people go to college for music other just play as they do. HUMANITY goes through periods of changes, from riding horses to giving-up the horse for an automobile. Some people get paid well. Some people want to forget about their hard day at work ... others just want to escape the low-down life they have. Some people get rich. It is just one big mix of people crossing paths. Humanity likes music and different types of music became developed, from CLASSICAL, to JAZZ, to COUNTY, to ROCK, etc. Choose your poison ... Songs seem to be used as weapons to demonstrate or tell a friend off. Some songs are about GOOD things. Here I am writing again. Well, I guess I'll write when I write. I pray people understand one day that: Horses cows birds etc. eat what they eat. Some get sick, some get inspired. Human Beings feel they can reason what to eat and drink, and we place conditions on it. Well life is getting better, over time, that is to say: Just 100 years ago we did not have bathrooms and electric, but to day we have plumbing, which makes life healthier and humanity is less likely to get sick. However pay has always been total CRAP. The only measure to show life is improving is to show we have toilets today ... what a mess. AMEN

Hanks hillbilly music was out of style after 1956 when country music changed towards a pop sound. Country artists changed their cowboy hats for tuxedos and added pop choruses to their music. Real country music almost died out in the late 1950s and Hank represented everything that the new pop-country singers were trying to move away from. The country music charts in the late 1950s was dominated by Jim Reeves and Eddy Arnolds popcountry ballads, their music was the opposite of Hank Williams raw country sound.

Hank was in Sun Records in those latter days. As was Pressley, and so many others I cannot any longer vouch to these days. I was there, and I am willing to say that the movie Cadillac Records was a mighty fine bit of history. I was a very young recording student, which was not picked up by the story. I am now 57 yo. It seems all past history,,,,,,,,,,and yet.

msattler111 Hank never sang on Sun Records and if you are 57 you never saw Hank live you were too young in fact your whole story seems muddled English

msattler111 okay. this post is from two yrs ago, and I was 59 yrs old two yrs ago, so I definitely know that msattler111 could not have seen Hank at Sun Studios. Hank died 3 years before I was born. Now, with Sun Records being started in 1950, I guess that it's possible that Hank might have paid them a visitin Memphis, but as far as I know, Hank recorded only on the Sterling and MGM labels.
