Biography
Western swing band founded in 1933 by [a=Bob Wills] after leaving [a=The Light Crust Doughboys], active until 1965, reuniting for a final recording session with an ailing Wills in 1973. Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1968, and into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame (as "Early Influence") in 1999. More than 600 artists played with the Texas Playboys during their lifetime, and several spin-off groups achieved significant success on their own, including [a=Johnnie Lee Wills & His Boys], [a=Luke Wills' Rhythm Busters], and [a=Billy Jack Wills And His Western Swing Band]. See also [a=Bob Wills & Tommy Duncan], [a=The Texas Playboys]. After the initial breakup in 1965, the band continued performing briefly as [b]The Texas Playboys[/b], led by [a=Leon Rausch]. They would reunite again as [a=The Original Texas Playboys Under The Direction Of Leon McAuliffe] from 1973-1986, until the death of pianist [a=Al Stricklin].
