Beginning his career as a songwriter, Willie Nelson found himself in Nashville often singing songs in the famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge before meeting Hank Cochran – someone who helped get his song “Hello Walls” recorded by Faron Young.

Over the next six decades, Nelson went on to become one of the most-popular musicians in the genre and a pioneer of outlaw country music.

With hits like “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” “Georgia On My Mind,” “All of Me,” and “Always On My Mind” – it was clear from the beginning that he was a legend in the making.

Beyond cutting his own songs and taking them to the top of the charts, Nelson also crafted some major hits for famous artists like Patsy Cline, Faron Young, Roy Orbison, and others.
