Hank Williams
Hiram "Hank" Williams (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953) was 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" Country & Western Best Sellers chart, including 11 that ranked 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 Williams' later musical style, along with Roy Acuff and Ernest 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 the Grand Ole Opry.
He was unable to read or notate music to any significant degree.
Among the hits he wrote were "Your Cheatin' HeartHey, 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 traveling to a concert in Canton, Ohio, at the age of 29.
Despite his short 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 Lewis, Bob Dylan, George Jones, Charley Pride, and The Rolling 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."

My Sweet Lord
" My Sweet Lord" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released in November 1970 on his triple album" All Things Must Pass".
It was also released as a single, Harrison's first as a solo artist, and topped charts worldwide; it was the biggest- selling single of 1971 in the UK.
In America and Britain, the song was the first number- one single by an ex-Beatle.
Harrison originally gave the song to his fellow Apple Records artist Billy Preston to record; this version, which Harrison co-produced, appeared on Preston's" Encouraging Words" album in September 1970.
Harrison wrote" My Sweet Lord" in praise of the Hindu god Krishna, while intending the lyrics as a call to abandon religious sectarianism through his blending of the Hebrew word" hallelujah" with chants of" Hare Krishna" and Vedic prayer.
The recording features producer Phil Spector's Wall of Sound treatment and heralded the arrival of Harrison's slide guitar technique, which one biographer described as" musically as distinctive a signature as the mark of Zorro".
Preston, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, and the group Badfinger are among the other musicians on the recording.
Later in the 1970s," My Sweet Lord" was at the centre of a heavily publicised copyright infringement suit due to its similarity to the Ronnie Mack song" He's So Fine", a 1963 hit for the New York girl group the Chiffons.
In 1976, Harrison was found to have subconsciously plagiarised the song, a verdict that had repercussions throughout the music industry.
Rather than the Chiffons song, he said he used the out- of- copyright Christian hymn" Oh Happy Day" as his inspiration for the melody.
Harrison performed" My Sweet Lord" at the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971, and it remains the most popular composition from his post-Beatles career.
He reworked it as" My Sweet Lord( 2000)" for inclusion as a bonus track on the 30th anniversary reissue of" All Things Must Pass".
Many artists have covered the song, including Andy Williams, Peggy Lee, Edwin Starr, Johnny Mathis, Nina Simone, Julio Iglesias, Richie Havens, Megadeth, Boy George, Elton John, Jim James, Bonnie Bramlett and Elliott Smith.
" My Sweet Lord" is ranked 460th on" Rolling Stone" magazine's list of" the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
The song reached number one in Britain for a second time when rereleased in January 2002, two months after Harrison's death.

" Love Ai n't No Stranger" is a power ballad by the English hard rock band Whitesnake, and is taken from the band's US- breakthrough album" Slide It In".
The song charted at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart and 34 on the US Mainstream rock charts
The song starts with keyboardist Jon Lord's keyboards with emotional vocal delivery from singer David Coverdale.
The song keeps a slow tempo until the guitars and drums kick in when the song tempo drastically changes and becomes a hard driving rock song.
The slow tempo" ballady" section does n't emerge again until the very middle and very end of the song.
According to the 25th Anniversary Edition booklet of" Slide It In", the keyboard intro was originally written for guitars, but was eventually switched to keyboards.
Also, Coverdale told in the edition's booklet that drummer Cozy Powell once told the singer that" Love Ai n't No Stranger" was the best track he'd ever played drums on.
The song was very well received and has been a Whitesnake live staple for many years.
Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic.com described the song as" one of the decade's greatest power ballads, bar none."
A music video was also made for the song, which depicts the band performing the song at a mock concert, with scenes of Coverdale running after an unknown woman.
At the end of the video, Coverdale climbs on to a truck and hugs the woman, but as he turns around he sees that the woman has switched and that the woman he was after is standing on the ground.
As the truck, along with Coverdale on it, starts to drive away Coverdale stares at the woman as she disappears into the mist.
