    I wander so aimless, life filled with sin. I wouldn't let my Dear Saviour in, then Jesus came like a stranger in the night. Praise the Lord I saw the light. Rest in Peace Hank Williams Sr. Your songs are still loved and enjoyed by millions.

    Hank's wife, Audrey, from what I've seen before in stories about him, was a wanna be country singer who had no talent, and Hank knew it. She always wanted to sing on his shows and tried to be a star. And unless you've lived with excruciating pain like Hank did, you do not know what you would do just for some relief. I had heard that he was given too much of whatever the drug was, plus he was just worn out. Being in that shape in those below freezing temperatures was just asking too much from him. Thanks for the video.

    What heartbreaking news about the cruel manipulation of an iconic American. The fact that Mr Williams was treated with such disrespect and disregard for his well being was a shocker to me. Thank you for revealing to the public that Mr Williams was not just a drunken singer but someone whose talents were squandered by low life criminals. Rest In Peace you dear soul

    He's not "Hank Williams Sr". I hate when people call him that as if he's just another Hank Williams. He's Hank Williams, the one and only.

    My grandpa would tell me the rumors of how Mr. Williams died when I was kid. Thank you for helping me recall those memories!

    NOPE..he was dead when they put him in that car and had some clueless young man drive until he needed gas . 👹Thank God for Audrey or a certain group of people would've had ALL his $$$ royalties for his songs !

    If you showed Hank Williams picture to 100 people and asked them to guess his age, I would put the "Over/Under" at 43... nowhere near 29

    In 1952 we were living in Southeast Missouri, I was 8 years old and remember the radio talking about Hank's death. The next day the radio station was playing some of Hank's songs, when I heard the songs I ran into the kitchen and told mom that Hank was alive! She said no and that he had died, I told mom come into the front room and listen, he is singing on the radio right now. She tried to explain that it was only a record that the station was playing, and I said I don't understand how he could be dead but still singing, I just didn't understand what a record was. Of course we did not have a record player or tv back then, so I had no idea what a record was. R.I.P. Mr Williams, you were the greatest.

    He truly was the “Hillbilly Shakespeare “. I’ve always found it amazingly ironic that his song that was on the charts

    Wow , I’ve never heard this story before , I’ve always questioned how such a young man could have died . Thank you

    In-Freakin- Credible. Parts of the story I have read before, but this was by far the most thorough yet concise account. It made my blood boil a bit that people can be so crule and reckless while claiming all along to be helping. So much shining talent burned out so quickly because of the short sighted cancer of greed. It boggles the mind to whink how different the music world would be today if it were not so.

    Thank you for this story! I read Hank's daughter's book which I enjoyed very much to spite all the difficult things she & her father went through in their lives. Glad she was finally recognized as his blood daughter. Will always love Hank. He died a year after I was born. In that first year I'm sure I heard his music on the radio & it has been part of me ever since. Wish I could have seen him in person. He left us too soon...our hillbilly Shakespeare.

    One of the greatest song writers and singers I ever heard. One person's opinion from Canada.

    the man could sit down and write about anything and write great music also. my dad still alive at 92 years old use to play just like don helms. i think that is his name, that was hanks sr steel guitar player. back in the 1950-60s my dad played a blonde 4 neck fender stringmaster through a fender tweed amp. he worked a 40 day hour work week at the plant and on friday or saturday night he would play the clubs throughout the texas and louisiana gulf coast.

    This crushed my soul ,I heard rumors for years about Hank s death and what you related makes sense! I respect you very much for your courage in looking into this. Who knows what really goes on in any life? I can only be grateful for talented souls who touch our hearts however briefly! Thanks again for this.

    Several years ago when I was with my Mom and a brother at a music contest, they held a Hank Williams 24 hour songwriting contest. It was free to enter. You had 24 hours to write a song and the song must be performed in front of everyone when the contestants were called on to show what they had. I didn't win, nor did my Mom, but we sure had fun. The title they gave us was Mr. Right Mr. Wrong. There were eight people I think who competed that day.
