[@Imagodfollower]

Sure miss this country music Country music today can't even come close. We have lost so many of the greatest older music players & singers country will never be the same without them.

The greatest country singer song writer on the planet

The Williams family has entertained the world and there's never been a nother family that can do what the Williams family has done for the music 🎵 business and I'm happy to have seen his son Hank Jr and had the chance to talk with no Kilgore so many times I'm hats of to the Williams family... Tom hawk

[@tylerdurden6901]

these times seem so much more interesting instead of the industrial nightmare we live in now

[@logmat45]

Hank sung with heart and most of his songs he lived. Today's sissy's can't come close to singing with the heart he did.

[@bstroh20]

Love his old band members.. "I'd do it all again.. And for the same price... Which was NOTHING." My mom bought a Greatest Hits album of HW in the mid 70's. I liked his songs right away, even tho I didn't really care for Country Music. His songs are timeless.

[@danzilla3223]

I remember the 23 mile drive home from town and a mile down their own driveway to my grandparents 120 acre farm listening to hank williams. The memories are the best.

[@danzilla3223]

My grandpa past away January two years ago. And I miss him everyday

[@zjait7]

I’m from Montgomery so I always heard about Hank. When I got cheated on I started listening to his music and I’ve been a fan ever since.

[@Senkino5o]

man I love this ol' documentary, that's done right, great man, great men, good times, they'll never be again... so there's a sadness there too

[@papercup2517]

I understand... but, you know, it's what I call the laxative effect of history: all things must pass...

[@kimbarnhouse6650]

Hanks songs was the life he lived. Audrey should have known that Hank truly loved her. He was an amazing awesome one heck of a man. He will never be forgotten.

[@butterfliesarefreetofly6964]

He actually married Billie Jean the last year of his life ‘ had a daughter Kimberly. He loved Billie Jean & don’t know why people keep talking about him & Audrey when they both moved on. Please give Billie Jean & Kimberly the good recognition they deserve

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤️ this is a fabulously made documentary. Stellar. Hey I got to shake the hand of Roy Acuff right on the (empty) stage of the Grand Ole Opry at Opryland. We were taping a show on TNN and the green room and backstage access is universal during the day at least. It was the thrill of a lifetime for me

[@lanetteroth384]

My mother listen to his music every weekend on her days off..I'll always remember his music.

[@con1111111111111]

This is the best biography of Hank I have ever seen!

[@annstone5214]

It's beautiful to hear how generous he was...Just when I thought I couldn't like him any better...

[@CatherineSTodd]

Thank you so much for posting this incredibly insightful story of Hank Williams. I had no idea!

[@jcembrey7638]

" he couldn't believe what he was " America's first Super Star who was loved by millions , but still couldn't love himself.

[@joannbriggs9441]

I lost connection but i have to finish this ill never forget the music and i will never forget you my father Howard Briggs from Augusta ga i will always love you daddy happy birthday

[@bradmurray8860]

I'm not a big fan of country music at all but the story, songs, & ambition of Hank Williams just amazes me. I have the utmost respect for him, always will. the way he could tell a story with his music impresses me. the only other country musician that I love to hear is Johnny Cash. these two artist's were the only ones my mother & father could listen to at the same time. lol!!! other than that it's hard Rock & heavy metal for me. I just hope all the country fans can forgive me....

[@lisasuemurray3180]

My Grammy & mom & I luv Hank, I feel his death was premature & Avoidable!! Hank should still be here looking back on his life with us! 🙏💙

[@meaganglaeser9584]

This was my favourite song

[@zyxmyk]

Those guys from his band are priceless! If he had lived and was as fun as those guys he would have been a blast! Heck, I'd like to hang out with those guys. I guess once a drifting cowboy always a drifting cowboy. It those were his pals I'll bet he was funny.

[@mellissajohnson3696]

i grew up with all of hank william's songs thats how my grandmother got us kids to go to sleep at night belive it or not we even listened to patsy cline and many more johnny cash box car willie willie nellison i think that's amazing how song's like your's can cailm a baby and even a grown up women like my self maybe thats why i still listen to them even to this day love you all keep the song's going may God bless you all

Hank Williams was a awesome singer that could do his singing so very easily ,but don't get me wrong all the Hank Williams are outstanding Singer's big time ,Thank you'es all God Bless you'es Always & Forever.Thank you too Corporal Henshaw for sharing this great music.

[@johnmacdonald8587]

Great biography enjoyed it very much keep it coming .

[@libertygiveme1987]

Hank Williams was a "GOOD OLE' BOY Southerner" who had 'Demon's' like the rest of us. The main difference between him and some others is, he COULD NOT SHAKE the 'DEMON OF ALCOHOL'!!!! And Hank Junior, even though he's Hank's son, needs to understand that his father was a 'TALENTED man', but a MAN NEVERTHELESS!!!!

[@tommythompsonsurfer]

ALL MEN HAVE PROBLEMS...AND ALL FAMILIES.......THIS IS A ROUGH UNIVERSE.................WHEN WILL WE ALL BE REPEALEALED.....??? THE SPIRIT WILL WILL ALL SOOOOOOON!!!

[@theravagedgrapefruit8190]

How do you know he doesn’t understand that? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Mari-B]

Hank was a lot like other southerners...we felt equal to all of our people...no matter the color of the skin. We are all kinfolk!!

[@sammyscotch9945]

Really? I sure did not know that about white southerners. I always thought southern whites were very racists so thanks for passing on that info

[@Mari-B]

@@sammyscotch9945I have learned alot about racism. It was in all parts of the United States, back then and now. I lived in Illinois in the 1980's-1990's and it was very bad there. I saw it for myself while living there. I know there was racism way back, but it come from the person's heart....not just the location. Sadly, there is racism today from all cultures, not just white ppl.😢

[@Impailer67]

@@sammyscotch9945 if you go into the rural south you'll find life long friendships between the races . it's not unusual to see public embraces of all ages and races. i believe we have actually surpassed most of the USA ,when it comes to equality and actual sincere relationships..now we have Mexicans moving into smaller communities. im learning spanish to try and do my part to welcome these hardworking, family oriented people. you may want to pack up the family and come see rural Georgia. there is alot to see and do..and the food . i personally recommend the Athens area..

[@jerrycraig6522]

Exactly!!! Any and ALL racism is ignorance!!!

[@jerrycraig6522]

The only racists are the wealthy demonrats!!! Look it up, the longest filibuster in the history of the Senate, and check out the vote tally on the civil rights bill, 100% republican support and less than 10% demonrat!!! Just the truth!!!

This mates only child is the bloodiest greatest entertainer of all time. Bocephus is amazing.

[@darrellwalker5203]

At the time of hank williams he was biggest in the world girls and women would faint what his band said.talent I know hank jr got his from.and no 3.i hope there's a heaven and I hope hank williams is there I know he believed in the gospial.

[@jimmyjennings4089]

Jimmie Rodger's may be the father of country music but Hank put country music on the map.

[@humongousfungusamongus3871]

I also like Charlene Arthur. She wore pants when women were supposed to wear skirts. SCANDALOUS!

[@HankWilliams-sn4bm]

I love the all the people in the video.

[@sammyscotch9945]

I remember my dad had alot of 78s of Hank Williams. Im not really certain what happened ro them but I do recall listening to them and learning the lyrics

[@Gj23jk2]

Hank's wife, angry at her husband's low-down drinkin' ways, hits him with a whiskey bottle as he snores. "You killed Hank Williams!" The still drunk and now awake and concussed Hank: "No, I ain't killed...get me some water." Epic.

[@jrwatson9303]

Good stuff

[@maryannlaylanzon9885]

My veitnam veteran husband used to stop breathing for years found out he had 5 blocked arteries. Had open heart.

[@dave4854]

I was about 12 yrs old when he was on every jukebox where there was jukeboxes and on Fri and Sat nights I and other boys would go down by the local bar and listen to the music coming out of the bar windows.

[@CricketGal1958]

Funny how some say he was the cockiest ever, and others say he just couldn't realize how good, or important he really was. I guess we're all that way...depending on how we feel about the people that we are with. lol But man, he sure was a cutie-pie!!!! : )

[@leolacasse6278]

Jr doesn't need to put 'ol Hank in the category of "Superstar," he was something spiritual to the poor white man that cannot be defined or surpassed.

[@bambam5130]

Hank use to come to my great grandpas restraunt and Hank let him drive his Cadillac one day

11:39 He was no James Brown, Prince, or Michael Jackson but damn he moves around better on stage than anyone else in country music, except maybe Garth Brooks. I don't know why but it seems like some people like it when country singers (I'm looking right at you, George Strait) just stand there like they just got their whole body covered in a bucket of cement. Are you sure Hank done it this way?

[@ClifftonBigmeat]

He was back in those days

[@janisvirgin719]

His physical pain may also be part of the reason he drink.???

[@zyxmyk]

hey, doesn't this have stuff in it not seen when it was aired on pbs? I've seen this twice before and I could swear a few of these stories i've never heard before.

[@billholt174]

5:27 At first I thought Hank was talking about Elvis in comparison to Sr.'s position as a performer. 'Handsome'? Hank's dad was a goofy-looking, jug-eared bean pole. I would agree, though, that he did achieve perhaps the earliest 'star' status in American music.

[@Savoy209]

Bill Holt I agree

[@kpzcbttp]

I think it would be because of his drinking that would make her nag, I am sure of it.

[@mangot589]

kpzcbttp I’m sure it didn’t help. I cant help but think if he wasn’t on the road so much, he would have lasted much longer. It seems to me he did better at home. Then he’d go on tour, and it’d start up again. 🤷‍♀️. Of course it’s pure conjecture on my part. He was drinking long before she met him, she MUST have known what he was like. Doesn’t make it easy to live with, though.

[@verndaniel6780]

im sure his pay rolls by then were a big help!!

[@CatherineSTodd]

Alkies like to blame their drinking on other people ("her nagging might have caused him to drink") but it's their own decision. Got nothing to do with anyone else. An alcoholic can't take one drink, ever. "One drink is too many and a thousand is not enough."

[@sharksport01]

No lecture on nagging?
