Don Williams
Fusion Music has partnered with Don Williams‘ long-time manager, Robert Pratt, to consult on business development for the Country Music Hall of Fame member’s estate. Plans for a live music experience and new music will release later this year. Williams died Sept. 8, 2017, at age 78.
“Don Williams’ iconic catalog of music continues to react with fans around the world,” says Daniel Miller, Fusion Music Managing Partner. “His music has spanned more than five decades, and we’re honored to support his legacy.”
Williams was a dominating country hit maker throughout the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, and continues to have one of the most-streamed catalogs from that era. Often referred to as the Gentle Giant because of his commanding presence and laid-back demeanor, Williams’ voice and song choices earned him hits including “We Should Be Together,” “I’m Just A Country Boy,” “Amanda,” “It Must Be Love” and “Tulsa Time.” Williams recorded 35 albums, with more than 50 Top 40 country and 17 chart-topping hits, including, “I Believe In You.” His songs have been recorded by country artists including Alan Jackson and Lee Ann Womack, as well as rock artists Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton.
Williams was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010 and was a member of the Grand Ole Opry. In addition to his recording career, he appeared in the Burt Reynolds classic films W. W. and the Dixie Dancekings and Smokey & The Bandit II and appeared as a guest performer on The Dukes of Hazzard.
In association with Red Light Management, the Fusion Music team also represents Martina McBride, Cassadee Pope, Jacob Davis and Ryan Kinder.
