EVENTS

January 1 - Hank Williams , due to play a New Year's Day show in Canton, Ohio , dies sometime after midnight in the rear seat of his Cadillac , somewhere between Knoxville, Tennessee and Oak Hill, West Virginia . He was 29. Stories conflict on what happened in the final hours of his life, but what is not disputed is that his death gave rise to the legend. In the 50-plus years following his death, Williams' songs would be covered countless times, singers and songwriters would directly cite him as an influence, and his son - Hank Williams, Jr. , would become a star in his own right. Ironically, the last song released in his lifetime was " I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive ."
