Subject: Don Williams dies at 78

Don Williams, one of the biggest stars in country music in the mid-1970s through late ‘80s, has died after an undisclosed illness. He was 78.

Williams’ unassuming and famously gentlemanly manner was quiet enough that it may have kept his public legacy from being more recognized in recent years. But the artists themselves certainly never forgot him, with Keith Urban, for one, having cited Williams as “probably my favorite male country singer of all time.”

Williams retired in early 2016 after being forced to cancel a tour due to sickness.


I don't dig country, but still a notable loss. RIP

Agreed. :\'(

The one song I really knew of his was "Tulsa Time", a #1 country hit from '78.

So sad, I know him best from "I Recall A Gypsy Woman" for the 1970s. I have always liked his voice, and deep down somewhere I have the single of it.  :\'(
