HANK WILLIAMS
=============
"Hiram King "Hank" Williams was born 17 September 1923 and began
playing the guitar aged seven. In Nashville, 1946, Williams recorded
his first country tracks, before joining the "Louisiana Hayride" radio
show in 1948. Williams' distinctive showman style and flamboyant dress
secured hit after hit despite his lifestyle, which was more akin to a
rock 'n' roller. The drink and drugs eventually led to the early
death of the greatest ever country singer/songwriter aged 29 on 1
January 1953." [79 words]

PATSY CLINE
===========
"Achieving popular success as Patsy Cline, Virginia Patterson Hensley
(born September 8, 1932) will be remembered as a trailblazer for
female singers. Musical from childhood, Cline got her break on a
television show in 1957 and several hits followed. After the breakdown
of her first marriage, the second phase of her career began; this was
marked with better quality songs that more suited her voice.
Tragically, Cline was killed in a plane crash on 5 March 1963 after a
concert." [80 words]

JOHNNY CASH
===========
"Johnny Cash (born 26 February 1932) released his first record in 1955
and soon enjoyed chart success. Cash went on to record over 100 hit
singles in the fifties and sixties whilst experimenting with his style
and songwriting. His prolific output and touring regime led him to
begin drinking and taking drugs but despite this, and other problems,
success continued into the seventies. Cash continued to record with
differing levels of achievement until his death on 12 September 2003."
