	Tennessee Ernie Ford biography .ms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Ford scored an unexpected hit on the pop charts in 1955 with his rendition of Merle Travis' "Sixteen Tons," a sparsely arranged coal-miner's lament with bleak lyrics and a fatalistic tone that contrasted vividly with the sugary pop ballads and energetic proto-rock songs that dominated the charts at the time:
		Ford subsequently helmed his own primetime variety program, "The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show," which ran on NBC from 1956 to 1961.
		Ford fell ill in 1991 after leaving a state dinner at the White House hosted by President George H. Bush, and died on October 17, exactly thirty-six years after "Sixteen Tons" was released and one day shy of the first anniversary of his induction into the Hall of Fame.

		As a child, Ford was musically inclined, singing in school choirs and playing trombone in the school band.
		Signed to Capitol Records in 1948 by Lee Gillette, Ford began cutting typically hot California country-boogie and novelty records that were driven as much by his big, warm voice as by the guitar stylings of Merle Travis and the idiosyncratic steel guitar wizardry of Speedy West.
		Ford’s first spiritual album, Hymns, was certified gold in 1959; by 1963 it was the biggest-selling album in Capitol’s catalogue.

		After service in the Army Air Corps during World War II, Ford was both a serious announcer (as Ernest Jennings Ford) and a drawling hillbilly disc jockey (as Tennessee Ernie) on KFXM in San Bernardino, California and later on KXLA in Pasadena.
		His singing along with records on the air in his Tennessee Ernie persona led to singing on Cliffie Stone's numerous radio and TV shows in the Los Angeles area.
		Ford began a prime time television show, The Ford Show, on NBC-TV in 1956 which popularized Ford's expression, "Bless your little pea-pickin' hearts." Ford's closing each show with a hymn led Capitol to release a 1957 album, Hymns, which remained on the Billboard pop charts for nearly six years and sold over a million copies.

		The booming baritone voice of Tennessee Ernie Ford was best known for his 1955 cover of Merle Travis' grim coal-mining song "Sixteen Tons," watered down by the dulcet strains of a Hollywood studio orchestra but retaining its innate seriousness thanks to the sheer power of Ford's singing.
		But there was more to Tennessee Ernie Ford than that.
		His voice was ideally suited to big arrangements of traditional hymns, and his first gospel album, Hymns (1956), became the first religious album to go gold.

		I am probably overshooting my dislike for this general style of the music because I love to hear Ford's powerful, magnificent voice sing the many hymn standards that he recorded.
		As it is, though, I feel that this CD is inferior to what he was capable of recording and, quite frequently, did record with his version of many hymns.
