Hank was born Hiram Williams, in Mount Olive, Alabama, on September 17, 1923. He learned gospel music from his Baptist-church organist mother and blues and pop from a black street musician. By age 16, he’d formed the first version of his legendary Drifting Cowboys and was playing on a local radio station. The early Forties found him performing one-nighters at roadhouses across Alabama. He moved to Nashville in 1946, where he signed with the famed Acuff-Rose publishing company and landed a recording contract with MGM the following year. His initial MGM release, Move It On Over, was a rocking country blues hit made popular all over again in the 70's by George Thorogood. In 1949, his Lovesick Blues topped the C&W chart and then remained in the Top 15 for ten months. His debut on the Grand Ol’ Opry that same year earned him six encores, and he became a regular cast member. Lovesick Blues was the first of 11 million-selling singles for Hank over the next four years. All totaled, he cracked the C&W Top Ten 36 times. His best-known songs, Your Cheatin’ Heart, Hey, Good Lookin’, Cold, Cold Heart, and I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry endure as American classics. He also recorded some gospel-style material under the name Luke the Drifter. At the height of his career, he virtually reinvented the country music, paving the way for a new breed of songwriter. The outlaw school of country singer-songwriters who followed in Williams’ wake - including Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and his own son, Hank Williams Jr. - would have been inconceivable without his rough-cut artistry. Increasing problems with drugs and alcohol led to his premature death by heart attack at age 29 while on the way to a show. In 1961, Hank was the first artist elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, a tribute indicative of his impact.

It was 1958 when Brenda Lee first recorded this song, and even though Decca released it in both 1958 and again in 1959, it didn't sell well until she became a popular star in 1960. That Christmas it hit #16 on the Billboard pop chart and turned into a perennial holiday favorite. It continued to sell well during the holiday season for the next 24 years, hitting #5 on the Xmas chart in 1984. I believe this clip is from the mid 90's, from one of her annual Christmas shows.
