My uncle (my mom's brother) served in WWII in France and was in an Army barracks with a lot of Southern boys, and had never heard country music before. Well those Southerners had before long turned all those other fellas into country fans, and they would listen to the Opry together on Armed Forces Radio. After my uncle got out of the Army he turned my mom on to country as well. Hank hit the scene after WWII, but my uncle quickly became a big fan (not so easy to do because he lived in New England). My mom was a lover of all kinds of music, including rock 'n' roll and R&B, but always had a special place in her heart for country, and she loved Hank Williams' music. She turned me on to country, and when I learned to play guitar I learned on Hank Williams records and those old song folios. To this day I can still remember how to play all those old songs. How many performers can claim to have as many intergenerational fans as Hank? Not even Sinatra or The Beatles can make that claim.

There are a few today we could walk a mile in his shoes. And the legend lives on. Rest in peace Hank Williams 🙏🌹❤️

@@pimslickins8321 You have to be able to have respect, understanding and appreciation for this music, or just music in general. This is the roots of country. This is Americana. You’re right about one thing, just in the wrong way. It was a different time. There was no rock and roll yet. He wrote from the heart and had a look, sound and style that inspires people to this day. Some music is not for everybody. This is country music, in its rarest, purest, most authentic form. His music was relatable to people. You either get it or not I guess. But, if you’re ever in the south talking badly about artists like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash won’t go over well with many people.

I recall as a boy, my grandma doing housework, singing Hank's songs. Back in the day, the radio was what most people had, and country was very popular as " cowboy", or, " hillbilly" as it was known back then. So, i was always familiar with Hank's music from childhood. Loved it then, still lovin'it now. I can understand the alcohol for back pain as well, having a lifelong back injury myself. Unless you've lived with a terrible perpetual back injury, you'll never know the agony of daily life, compounded by women and the resultant problems too.. RIP Hank, we all understand what you've conveyed through your music.

Many wonderful artists live for decades. The 50's N early 60's where a big music revolution time in country to rock etc. His death like Marilyn Monroe in 62 not calling her a musician but a movie star to elvis, Janis Joplin etc left us all young. The media kept them in our eyes, ears n minds. More records n reruns of any early movies or tv these icons where in people remember them young at the top of their success. Yes all talented at what they did but if they lived to 85 would they of stayed to be such icons? Doubtful. Hank was enjoyed for music you could easily sing to n guitar players could play his basic classic styled music. That's why he was so loved. You want a hit record? Something others can relate too, are able to sing along to n play at home on piano or guitar. Possibly add a few friends on other instruments. Typical of most Beatles songs.

After Hank Williams Death, I feel that the 1959 plane crash with Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens deaths was right up there as a Big loss in Music.

Pfft. Elvis Presley? The guy didn't even write his own music. He is the modern day equivalent of all of these pop idols whose songs are all ghostwritten.

He was a fantastic artist his songs will never be forgotten it's sad to know he died the way he did alone in the back seat of his blue Cadillac I'll leave you with this he's no longer touchable but will forever touch us every time one his songs are played.
