CLEARWATER, Fla.—Don Williams is set to take the stage at The Capitol Theatre, on Oct. 14. He is known internationally for his contribution to the country music genre with several hit records.
With a career spanning nearly 50 years—Williams began his career with the folk trio, The Pozo-Seco Singers. “Time” was their biggest selling record, out of the many successful records they had recorded. During the 1970s, changes were coming for Williams. He signed a publishing deal with Jack Clement, after parting ways with The Pozo-Seco Singers. Clement was astonished by Williams and offered him a recording contract. Clement and Williams would distribute many more successes including “Atta Way To Go” and “Come Early Morning”. “We Should Be Together” went onto become a top ten hit on the Billboard top ten hit chart, in 1974.
As the 1970s continued and the 1980s approached—Williams sustained more sensations after signing, a deal with ABC/Dot. It later became MCA and he continued to deliver triumphs including: “Rake and Ramblin’ Man”, “Tulsa Time” and “Nobody But You”. With those smash records, he became one of the most played artists in country music within the decade.
In 1978, he took home the Country Music Association award for Male Vocalist of the Year. Three years later, he scored his biggest knockout with “I Believe In You”. He was also part of Grand Ole Opry. Also during the 1970s and 1980, Williams contributed to “W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings”, “Likely Stories, Vol. 3”, “Smokey and the Bandit II”, “The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!”, “Top of the Pops” and more. He would return to the screen nearly 25 years later and performed on “The Spin Cycle” (2004).
In the 1990s, Williams found his way to Capitol Nashville and RCA. He continued to deliver more winning records for his respected record labels. In 2010, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2014, he released “Reflections” and it became the highest charted album in 30 years. During his career, he earned the nickname “The Gentle Giant”. Williams continues to expand his fan base, while maintaining his older listeners.
He spoke about his fans and stated, “Mercy the fans have kept us going for years, and I am glad to share the music with them once again.”
