Hank Thompson was an integral part of the music industry beginning in the 1940s. He recorded in each of the seven decades since he recorded Whoa, Sailor in 1946. Hank sold over 60 million recordings and has toured extensively around the globe. Hank was a leader in the music industry with accomplishments including the first music-based television show to be broadcast in color, the first artist to travel with sound and lighting systems, the first to record a live album, the first to record a live album in Las Vegas, and, along with Frank Sinatra, the first artist to record in seven consecutive decades. In 1989, Hank was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. |
