(I trust you are speaking of the one-and-only, real, authentic Hank and not that Junior guy, whose real name is Randall Hank.) Hank's first No.1 song was "Lovesick Blues," in 1949. It spent 42 weeks on the charts and 16 (some say 17) weeks at the top. This can be verified in numerous source works, Wikipedia among them. Or Google "Lovesick Blues" to find the whole interesting story about the song. No disrespect to Hank Jr. , but he could have saved the world a whole lot of confusion and trouble, just by using his own first name: Randy Williams. Also there are at least three book-length biographies in print, all of which are interesting, if in several respects not accurate: "Hank Williams:The Biography," "Lovesick Blues:The Life of Hank Williams" and "Still in Love With You" (by Hank's stepdaughter Lycrecia)
