Johnny Paycheck

**Johnny Paycheck** (born Donald Eugene Lytle, 31 May 1938 - 19 February 2003) was an American country music singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Grand Ole Opry member.

He was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

## Career Highlights

Notable for recording the David Allan Coe song "Take This Job and Shove It", he achieved his greatest success in the 1970s as a force in country music's "Outlaw Movement" popularized by artists David Allan Coe, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver, and Merle Haggard. In the 1980s, his music career slowed due to drug, alcohol, and legal problems. He served a prison sentence in the early 1990s and his declining health effectively ended his career in early 2000. In 1980, Paycheck appeared in the PBS music program *Austin City Limits*.
George Jones

**George Glenn Jones** (12 September 1931 – 26 April 2013) was an American musician, singer and songwriter.

He was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

## Career Highlights

Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951. He served in the United States Marine Corps and was discharged in 1953. He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954. In 1959, Jones recorded "White Lightning", written by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968; he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later. Years of alcoholism compromised his health and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones". After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became sober for good in 1999. Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure.

He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last twenty years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum".
During his career, Jones had more than one hundred fifty hits, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists. Robert Christgau has called him "honky-tonk's greatest honky".

Sue Thompson

**Sue Thompson** is an American pop and country music singer.

She was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

## Early Life

She was born in Nevada, Missouri. By the age of seven, she was singing and playing the guitar on stage.

During World War II, she worked at a defense plant. She married when she was seventeen, and had a daughter at twenty, but the marriage failed and she and her husband split up after three years. To keep supporting herself after her divorce, she returned to the nightclub scene in California. In San Jose, she won a talent contest, thus catching the attention of a bandleader and radio/TV host named Dude Martin, who invited her to sing with his band. This led to their marriage. They recorded duets together, including "If You Want Some Lovin'", which helped her get a solo contract from Mercury Records in 1950.

## Recording Career

Within a year, she divorced Martin to marry Hank Penny, a comedian and singer. Penny and Thompson hosted a TV show in Los Angeles together before eventually moving to Las Vegas. Thompson recorded separately and also with her husband for Decca Records. However, none of their songs were successful. In 1960, Thompson signed on with Hickory Records. In 1961, "Sad Movies (Make Me Cry)" became a No. 5 hit on the pop charts, and she followed this up successfully with "Norman", which reached No. 3. Both of these hit singles were written by songwriter John D. Loudermilk. They both sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs. Both were also chart successes in Australia, reaching #3 and #8 respectively.

In 1962, "Have a Good Time" was a Top 40 hit and in 1963, "Willie Can" was a minor hit. Her early 1960s hits made Thompson, then in her late-thirties, a favorite among the teenage crowd and briefly a rival to the much younger Connie Francis and Brenda Lee. Two additional hits, also written by Loudermilk, were "James (Hold the Ladder Steady)" and "Paper Tiger".

"Paper Tiger" in 1965 was her last Top 30 hit, and also her biggest hit in Australia, where it reached #2. In the late 1960s, she went back to country music and released the album *This Is Sue Thompson Country* in 1969. In 1971 she worked with country music singer Don Gibson on some albums, and they had minor hits with "I Think They Call It Love", "Good Old Fashioned Country Love", and "Oh, How Love Changes". She recorded further solo singles for the country charts, like "Big Mable Murphy", which made the Top 50 in 1975 and "Never Naughty Rosie", her last chart single in 1976. She also performed mainly at the Las Vegas casinos and at clubs in Hollywood, like the Palomino Club. In the 1990s, she settled in Las Vegas, and continues to periodically perform.

Sue also appeared on *American Bandstand*, *Where the Action Is*, *The Buddy Deane Show*, and *The Lloyd Thaxton Show*.

Conway Twitty

**Conway Twitty** (born Harold Lloyd Jenkins 1 September 1933 – 5 June 1993) was an American country music singer.

He was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

From 1971 to 1976, Twitty received a string of Country Music Association awards for duets with Loretta Lynn. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
The Statler Brothers

**The Statler Brothers** were an American country music vocal group.

They were guest performers in *Hee Haw*.

## Career Highlights

The quartet was formed in 1955 performing locally and, in 1964, they began singing backup for Johnny Cash until 1972. Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen. In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none has the surname of Statler. The band, in fact, named themselves after a brand of facial tissue they had noticed in a hotel room (they joked that they could have turned out to be the Kleenex Brothers). Don Reid sang lead; Harold Reid, Don's older brother, sang bass; Phil Balsley sang baritone; and Lew DeWitt sang tenor and was the guitarist of the Statlers before being replaced by Jimmy Fortune in 1983 due to DeWitt's ill health. DeWitt continued to perform as a solo artist until his death from heart and kidney disease.

Two of their best-known songs are "Flowers on the Wall", their first major hit that was composed and written by Lew DeWitt, and the socially conscious "Bed of Rose's". Their songs have been featured on several film soundtracks and also in the famous video game, *Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas*. These range from "Charlotte's Web" in *Smokey and the Bandit II* to "Flowers on the Wall" in the crime dramedy *Pulp Fiction*. They earned the number one spot on the *Billboard* chart four times: for "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine?" in 1978, "Elizabeth" in 1984, and "My Only Love" and "Too Much on My Heart" in 1985.

The group disbanded and retired after completing a farewell tour 26 October 2002.
Harry King Cole

**Harry King Cole** (30 May 1918 - 13 August 1993) was an American entertainer.

He was a regular cast memeber in *Hee Haw*.

## Biography

King Harry Cole "Weeping Willie" spent his entire lifetime has an entertainer. He worked showboats, medicine shows "where he actually brewed the medicine he sold," vaudeville, stock companies, burlesque, tent shows, carnivals, night clubs, radio, and television.

Harry King Cole was born in 1918 in a hotel room in Thomas, West Virginia. He always joked a funny thing happened to his mother on the way home from the theater. He was from a theatrical family. His great-grandparents were the Brownings, who were in show business their entire lives. His grandparents were Harry and Eva LaReane owned their own theatrical company. His father was a juggler and his mother a singer, actress, and musician who was also a champion rope spinner and, as Harry remembered, "a darned good cook."

Harry served his country during WW II in the Air Corps. He was a medical supply sergeant but he spent his four-year hitch writing and producing over 200 shows for American and Canadian troops as a way to boost morale! It was here that Weeping Willie was born when he wrote a skit about a man that was always drinking and crying and always down on his luck. He retired in the Mid 1970s.

Johnny Cash

**Johnny Cash** (26 February 1932 – 12 September 2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and author.

He was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

## Career Highlights

He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than ninety million records worldwide. Although primarily remembered as a country music icon, his genre-spanning songs and sound embraced rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.

Cash was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark, all-black stage wardrobe, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash," followed by his signature song "Folsom Prison Blues".

Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. His other signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Ring of Fire", "Get Rhythm", and "Man in Black". He also recorded humorous numbers like "One Piece at a Time" and "A Boy Named Sue"; a duet with his future wife, June Carter, called "Jackson" (followed by many further duets after their wedding); and railroad songs including "Hey, Porter", "Orange Blossom Special", and "Rock Island Line". During the last stage of his career, Cash covered songs by several late 20th-century rock artists, notably "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails and "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden.
Slim Whitman

**Ottis Dewey "Slim" Whitman Jr** (20 January 1923 – 19 June 2013) was an American country and western singer.

He was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

## Career Highlights

Known for his yodeling abilities and his smooth, high, three-octave-range falsetto in a style christened as "countrypolitan", he personally stated that he had sold in excess of one hudred twenty million records, although the recorded sales figures give seventy million. His career spanned over seven decades and consisted of a prolific output of over one hundred albums and around five hundred recorded songs that not only consisted of country music, but also of contemporary gospel, Broadway show tunes, love songs, and standards. In the 1950s, Whitman toured with Elvis Presley as the opening act.

In the 1990s, a new generation was exposed to Whitman through his songs featured in the film *Mars Attacks!*; his iconic "Indian Love Call" would kill the invading Martians every time the record was played.
Stringbean's Letter from Home

**Stringbean's Letter from Home** is a recurring skit in *Hee Haw*.

## Summary

Stringbean tells a gang of Kornfield County residents that he received a letter from home, and he's keeping it next to his heart. He reaches for his breast pocket, but it's not there. He feels several other places on his body, repeating "Heart... heart... heart..." until he finally produces the letter from his back pocket. Then he reads the humorous letter to the gang.
Ed Bruce

**William Edwin Bruce Jr** (born 29 December 1939) is an American country music songwriter, singer, and actor.

He was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

## Career Highlights

He is known for writing the 1975 song "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and recording the 1982 country number one hit "You're the Best Break This Old Heart Ever Had".

He also co-starred in the television series *Bret Maverick* with James Garner during the 1981-82 season.

Big Al Downing

**Big Al Downing** (9 January 1940 – 4 July 2005) was an American entertainer, singer, songwriter, and pianist.

He was a guest performer in *Hee Haw*.

## Career Highlights

Downing began his career doing piano and vocals in Bobby Poe and The Poe Kats, who were an early backing band for country entertainer Wanda Jackson. His piano contributed to the single "Let’s Have A Party", which was released in 1960. The song reached #32 on the UK charts and made the Top 40 on the U.S. pop chart.

Downing reached the U.S. Hot 100 with "You'll Never Miss the Water (Till the Well Runs Dry)", a duet with Little Esther Phillips. After the release of this single, he was signed by Warner Brothers. In 1974, Downing recorded the single, "I'll Be Holding On", which went to number one on the U.S. Disco charts for three weeks. In addition, "I'll Be Holding On" was a hit in Europe. On the other US charts, the single went to #31 on the soul chart and #85 on the *Billboard* Hot 100.

Al Downing's popularity continued to grow, and he had several hits on the country charts between 1978 and 1989. He compiled a list of his own songs, which he presented to his producer at Warner Brothers. In 1978, "Mr. Jones" reached the Top 20, followed by "Touch Me (I'll Be Your Fool Once More)" in 1979. That same year, Downing produced "Midnight Lace," which reached the 50s on the charts, and "I Ain't No Fool," which peaked at the upper 70s. In 1980, "The Story Behind the Story" reached the Top 40, and "Bring It On Home" reached the Top 20.

Two years passed before Downing created another hit, this time with the Team label. In 1982, "I'll Be Loving You" reached the Top 50, followed by "Darlene," which reached the lower 60s. The next year, "It Takes Love" reached the Top 40, followed by "Let's Sing About Love," which peaked in the mid-60s. In 1984, "The Best of Families" became a Top 50 hit; That same year, Downing released his final hit with the Team label, "There'll Never Be a Better Night for Being Wrong".

In 1987, "Big Al" was signed by the Vine Street label, which released the "Oh How Beautiful You Are" (To Me) and "Just One Night Won't Do", both of which hit the Top 70. Two years later, he was signed by Door Knob Records, with whom he produced the 1989 Top 100 hit, "I Guess By Now".

The popular entertainer Fats Domino recorded two songs written by Downing: "Mary, Oh Mary" and "Heartbreak Hill". Bobby "Blue" Bland and Tom Jones have also recorded Downing's songs.

Downing built a five-decade career around his powerful singing voice and his hard-driving rockabilly-style piano. Downing's compilations of earlier work have been released throughout the world. In Europe, Crazy Music obtained exclusive rights for the original Team label recordings and released these in the form of a two-CD compilation, *Classic Collection*. This also contained some of Downing's earlier hits, including "Mr. Jones". He was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and was a frequent performer at the Grand Ole Opry. Downing was nominated as Best New Artist by the Academy of Country Music.

She has also earned nominations for a Tony Award and a Golden Globe award. She was awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by The Latin Recording Academy in 2011 and also awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by The Recording Academy in 2016. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. On 28 July 2014, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts and Humanities. In 2019, she will receive a joint star with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their work as the group Trio.

In total, she has released over thirty studio albums and fifteen compilation or greatest hits albums. Ronstadt charted thirty-eight Billboard Hot 100 singles, with twenty-one reaching the top 40, ten in the top 10, three at number 2, and "You're No Good" at number 1. This success did not translate to the UK, with only her single "Blue Bayou" reaching the UK Top 40. Her duet with Aaron Neville, "Don't Know Much", peaked at number 2 in December 1989. In addition, she has charted thirty-six albums, ten top-10 albums, and three number 1 albums on the *Billboard* Pop Album Chart. Her autobiography, *Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir*, was published in September 2013. It debuted in the Top 10 on *The New York Times* Best Seller list. A documentary based on her memoirs, *Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice*, was released in 2019.

Ronstadt has collaborated with artists in diverse genres, including Bette Midler, Billy Eckstine, Frank Zappa, Carla Bley (Escalator Over the Hill), Rosemary Clooney, Flaco Jiménez, Philip Glass, Warren Zevon, Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Dolly Parton, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Earl Scruggs, Johnny Cash, and Nelson Riddle. She has lent her voice to over one hundred twenty albums and has sold more than a hundred million records, making her one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. Christopher Loudon of *Jazz Times* wrote in 2004 that Ronstadt is "blessed with arguably the most sterling set of pipes of her generation."

Ronstadt gave her last live concert in late 2009 and retired in 2011. In December 2012, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which left her unable to sing.
