The booming baritone voice of Tennessee Ernie Ford was best known for his 1955 cover of Merle Travis grim coal-mining song Sixteen Tons, watered down by the dulcet strains of a Hollywood studio orchestra but retaining its innate seriousness thanks to the sheer power of Fords singing. But there was more to Tennessee Ernie Ford than that. Over his long career, Ford sang everything from proto-rock & roll to gospel, recorded over 100 albums, and earned numerous honors and awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nations highest civilian award. His popularity and recognition transcended country music, and he was among the earliest and most successful crossover artists to come out of country music, paving the way for such diverse popular culture figures as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Reba McEntire, and many more.
