about
Ernest Dale Tubb (February 9, 1914 – September 6, 1984), known as the Texas Troubadour, was an American singer and songwriter regarded as one of the pioneers of country music. His most significant early success came with the 1941 song "Walking the Floor Over You," which played an important role in the development and popularization of the honky-tonk style. In 1948, Tubb became the first artist to record a hit version of Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson's "Blue Christmas," a song later widely associated with Elvis Presley's 1950s recording. Among Tubb's notable later hits was the 1965 song "Waltz Across Texas," written by his nephew Quanah Talmadge Tubb, known professionally as Billy Talmadge; it became one of his most requested songs and remains common in Texas dance halls. During the early 1960s, Tubb recorded several duets with Loretta Lynn, including their successful single "Sweet Thang." He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
