The crooner from Montgomery, AL, could write songs as he sang them, and with such strength and conviction that the audience was captivated. The program chronicles his fabulous but short-lived career. Included are archival film clips of Williams performing some of his best-loved songs, such as "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Honky Tonkin'," and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry."
