Country's second great Hank was born in 1914 in Nova Scotia, Canada. Despite a harsh childhood, he managed to buy himself a guitar. He developed his style and by 1933 had his own radio show on CHNS in Halifax. He billed himself as "Hank, the Yodeling Ranger," playing fairs and rodeos across Canada. In 1936, he signed a recording contract with RCA Victor's Bluebird label (which remains the longest continuous contract in the history of the recording industry, spanning 47 years). Hank began performing dates with his trained horse, Shawnee, after his first appearance on the WWVA Jamboree in 1945. In 1950, he was invited to the Grand Old Opry, and remained a member of the Opry for 46 years. During that time he recorded over 100 LPs, including hit singles "I'm Movin' On," "I've Been Everywhere," and "I Don't Hurt Anymore." One of the biggest things Hank Snow may have done for music was hearing a young singer named Elvis Presley, setting him up as a regular on the Louisiana Hayride, and introducing him to Colonel Tom Parker (the rest is history). Hank entertained troops during the Korean and Vietnam wars, and also established the Hank Snow Foundation for Abused Children. He's been nominated to eight different Halls of Fame, including the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. His final #1 hit was "Hello Love," released when Hank was sixty-one, making him the oldest country performer to ever have a #1 hit. Hank Snow died in 1999.
