Hiram King Williams (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953), better known as Hank Williams, was an American singer and songwriter and musician who has become an icon of country music and one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century. A leading pioneer of the honky tonk style, he had numerous hit records, and his charismatic performances and succinct compositions increased his fame. His songbook is one of the backbones of country music, and several of his songs are pop standards as well. He has been covered in a range of pop, gospel, blues and rock styles. His death at the age of 29 helped fuel his legend.
The Health and Happiness Show was Hank William's first radio series and was a syndicated show. Eight fifteen minute shows were recorded on two Sundays in October of 1949. The idea of the show came from an advertising manager, Mack Hedrick, at WSM. A deal was made with the makers of the elixir Hadacol to sponsor his first syndicated radio series.
