About Ernest Tubb

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.
