are known the world over for
their soulful renditions of
gospel and spiritual songs.

Opry in Nashville since 1960,
Billy today has his own
syndicated TV show, his own
band - “The Tennessee
Walkers”, his own bus, his
own office, his own
publishing company, and his
own tall Texan talent which
brought him his first hit
record “Anything Your
Heart Desires”, followed by
such greats as “Charlies
Shoes”, “Cross the Brazos at
Kutztown Fair
Waco”, “Circumstances”,
and his current hot chart
single “Sing Me a Love Song

music before she could
decifer English.

to inspire them in some
small way”, she said.
