 Internationally
loved country music icon, Don Williams,
is set to bring his hits to fans old and
new when he kicks off his 2015 Tour in
September. “Mercy, the fans have
kept us going for years, and I am glad to
share the music with them once
again,” says Williams.
Williams first came to prominence in the
1960s as a member of the folk group The
Pozo-Seco Singers. The trio recorded
several hit records, with the biggest
being “Time.” By 1971, Williams
had gone solo, and had signed a
publishing deal with Jack Clement. The
Hall of Fame producer was so taken with
Don’s style that he offered him a
recording contract with his JMI Records
in 1972. Early hits included “Atta
Way To Go” and “Come Early
Morning,” as well as “We Should
Be Together,” which became his first
Billboard top ten hit from 1974. He then
moved to ABC / Dot (Later MCA), where the
hits increased. Tracks such as “Rake
and Ramblin’ Man,” “Tulsa
Time,” and “Nobody But
You” helped to make him one of the
most-played artists on Country Radio in
the 1970s and 1980s. He took home the
Male Vocalist of the Year trophy from the
Country Music Association in 1978, and
notched his biggest hit in 1981 with
“I Believe In You,” which also
crossed over to the top-30 on the Hot
100.
Subsequent moves to Capitol Nashville and
RCA kept Williams on the charts into the
1990s, as he continued to play for huge
crowds on the road. His success in the
United States is well-documented, but the
music of Don Williams has made him an
international star – with followings
in such places as England and New
Zealand. He has placed 52 singles in the
top-40 on the Country charts in the
United States, with 17 going all the way
to the top spot. Williams was a member of
the Grand Ole Opry in the 1980s, and
appeared in the films W.W. and the Dixie
Dancekings and Smokey & The Bandit II
with Burt Reynolds.
Williams’ most recent album was
2014’s Reflections, which earned the
singer his highest peak on the Country
Album chart in three decades. Known as
“The Gentle Giant,” Williams
was inducted into the Country Music Hall
of Fame in 2010.
