Hank Williams (1923 –1953) has become an icon of country music and Rock 'n' Roll, and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. A leading exponent 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 are pop standards as well.

On New Year's Eve 1952, Hank Williams was preparing to play a New Year's Day show in Canton, Ohio, but he was unable to fly due to weather problems. He was in the process of trying to get his career back on track after suffering from a reputation as a heavy drinker and womanizer throughout the music industry. He hired a chauffeur and, before leaving Knoxville, Tennessee, injected himself with Vitamin B12 and morphine, to get prepared for the coming concert. He died in route, at age 29.

Patsy Cline (1932 –1963) was an American Country Music Singer, who enjoyed Pop music crossover success during the era of the Nashville Sound in the early 1960s. She became one of the first Country singers to have major success on the Pop charts. Since her death at the age of 30 in a 1963 plane crash during the height of her fame, she has been considered one of the most influential and successful female vocalists of the 20th Century. Her life and career has been the subject of numerous books, movies, documentaries, articles and stage plays.

Patsy Cline was best known for her signature emotionally expressive voice. Many artists over the years have tried to re-create Cline's sound.
