| | Carter, Wilf |
 | | Carter was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Association Hall of Fame in 1971, the CCMA Hall of Honor in 1984, the Juno Awards Hall of Fame in 1985, and the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1989. |
 | | Carter has been acknowledged as the father of country music in Canada, a distinction based on his prominence as Canada's first country star, on his influence on Canadian performers, and on the assistance he gave to the careers of others. |
 | | Although his popularity began to wane in the 1960s in the face of the changing styles in country music, Carter continued to tour in Canada and performed regularly on CBC TV's 'Tommy Hunter Show,' and at the Calgary Stempede, of which he was the Grand Marshall in 1979. |
