Biography
Tubb, born February 9, 1914 in Crisp, Texas and died September 6, 1984 in Nashville, Tennessee, nicknamed the Texas Troubadour, was an American singer and songwriter and one of the pioneers of country music. His biggest career hit song [b]Walking the Floor Over You[/b] (1941) marked the rise of the honky-tonk style of music. In 1948-49, he was the first singer to record a hit version of [b]Blue Christmas[/b], a song more commonly associated with [a=Elvis Presley] and his mid-1950s version. Another well-known Tubb hit is [b]Waltz Across Texas[/b] (1965), which became one of his most requested songs and is often used in dance halls throughout Texas during waltz lessons. In the early 1960s, he recorded duets with up-and-coming [a=Loretta Lynn], including their hit [b]Sweet Thang[/b].
