Not really. He had about a five year career at which he was at the top of the country charts. #1 hit after #1 hit (and he wrote all his own music). He's the Elvis of country music who, for better or worse, he took country mainstream. His musical influence is huge, not just for country, but for rock and roll as well. There may not have been an Elvis without Hank. A tragic figure who died at age 29. His life would make a great movie.
If you can't tell, I'm obsessed with the guy and his music.
