December 2, 2021 Records of the Day

He was known as Luke the Drifter, the Lovesick Blues Boy, and the Hillbilly Shakespeare but mostly by the name the world knows him as, Hank Williams. His influence on the Country artists to follow is enormous. All of his big hits were recorded on M-G-M like his signature song, “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” Those 78’s are not worth much more than $30.00 but his first record “Calling You” is on Sterling Records. Released as a 78 in 1947, a copy is worth up to $1,500.00 today.
