Hank Williams will be celebrated at the Hank-O-Rama<\/a> show 71 years after his death.

He recorded 55 singles that reached the top ten of the Billboard Country & Western Best Sellers chart, including 12 that reached No. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hank Williams was just 29 when he was found dead in the back seat of his Cadillac on the morning of Jan. 1, 1953, in Oak Hill, WV, en route to a New Year\u2019s Day gig in Canton, Ohio.
