Hank Williams - I Saw The Light (remembering the legend on the 70th anniversary of his death)

It was on this day, 70 years ago, when the legendary Hand Williams left us. He died as a passenger in a car, on his way to a New Year's Day concert in Canton, Ohio. 

The first song played at that show, by Hawkshaw Hawkins with accompaniment, was a tribute to Williams, "I Saw The Light." Here is Hank and many other liftings their voices for this wondrous song, one of the greatest ever composed, regardless of the genre.
