Radio de Tex Williams

Tex Williams (born Sollie Paul Williams) August 23, 1917 ? October 11, 1985) was an American Western swing musician from Ramsey, Illinois. His popularity peaked in the late 1940s. Williams is perhaps best-known for this talking blues style; his biggest hit was the novelty song, "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)," which held the number one sales position on the Billboard charts for six weeks in 1947 and can also be heard during the opening scenes of the 2006 movie, Thank You for Smoking. Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette) was the #5 song on BillBoard's Top 100 list for 1947, and was #1 on the Country chart that same year. [1]
