about
#1 Larry Butler (March 27, 1932 - May 14, 2017) was an American country singer born in Belton, Texas. Not to be confused with: #2 Larry Butler (Pensacola, Florida, USA 26 March 1942 - January 19, 2012) was a country music producer / songwriter. #1 Larry Butler’s family roots are strong and deep in the heart of Texas, born and raised in Belton, Texas. It was there that he began his life-long love affair with country and western music, and his idol even to this day, Hank Williams. In fact, Larry in every performance Larry does, he always manages to sing a tune or two by Hank. One of Larry's best childhood memories as a youth is when his father traded a cedar post for a ten-dollar guitar and gave it to him. That gift was the instrument that helped him shape his destiny and give him the determination to fulfill a dream to reach stardom in the evolving and emerging field of country and western music. Larry is a tall man with a large frame; the hair may now have turned to silver, but all his legions of friends know that he stands even taller in the far-flung fields of the music industry. He is known to have a heart of gold, quick to reach out and help other struggling artists in their quest to find the road to success. Let's recall one such event that happened long ago. He and his band were rehearsing at the Esquire Club in Houston Texas. A young man came in the club and asked for a job with the band. He also tried to sell Larry some of his songs for ten dollars apie
