OAC Top 30 – Week 30

Your Cheatin’ Heart – Hank Williams

Following Williams’ untimely death just after midnight on New Year’s Day 1953 – he was only 29 – “Your Cheatin’ Heart” shot to Number One on the country music charts. Although cut down early in life by his struggles with alcohol, Williams’ legend has only grown since then. His influence on country music continues to be so far-reaching that this song received a Grammy 30 years later, and today his story has grown to mythic status among his millions of country fans.
