In his short life, Hank Williams inspired millions with his music, yet he was unable to translate his talent to an inner happiness for himself. In a career that spanned a mere six years, he had ten No. 1 songs, and over twenty Top 10 songs. He even had four consecutive records hit No. 1 after his death; "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive," "Kaw-Liga" "Your Cheatin' Heart," and "Take These Chains From My Heart."
