Merle Haggard
Merle Ronald Haggard was an American country music singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler. Widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential figures in country music, he was a central pioneer of the Bakersfield sound. With a career spanning over five decades, Haggard had 38 number-one hits on the US country charts, several of which also made the Billboard all-genre singles chart. Haggard overcame a troubled childhood, criminal convictions and time in prison to launch a successful country music career. He gained popularity with his songs about the working class; these occasionally contained themes contrary to the anti–Vietnam War sentiment of some popular music of the time. Haggard received many honors and awards, including a Kennedy Center Honor; a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; a BMI Icon Award; and induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame; Country Music Hall of Fame and Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. He died of pneumonia on April 6, 2016—his 79th birthday—at his ranch in Shasta County, California. From Wikipedia (
