He was handsome like his father, his mother’s resemblance around the eyes. His two grandsons look a lot like him. Hank III can sing like him. Kudos to Jr for making his own way bc it’s never easy being a performer and a child of a legend.

A real hell raiser . Mr Williams paved the way for all types of musical artists.

Hank was THE King of Country Music. Hank’s song will be around 500 years from now. You have to love the fracking accent on the narrator of this documentary.
