Bob Wills (6 March 1905 – 13 May 1975) was an American wEstern swing musician, songwriter, and bandleader.
Where There’s a Wills
Considered by music authorities as the founder of Western swing, he was known widely as the King of Western Swing. -- Wikipedia
Of Wills I sing,
Who was the king
Of Western swing,
A style that has
It’s own pizzazz,
Combining jazz
With country as
A hybrid thing.
