Gene Autry
Patsy Cline
Conway Twitty
Jimmie Rodgers
Fact: The very first inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame was Jimmie Rodgers, often called the “Father of Country Music.” Rodgers earned fame in the late 1920s with his distinctive yodeling style and heartfelt songs that blended folk, blues, and country influences. His recordings, such as “Blue Yodel No. 1 (T for Texas),” set the stage for the genre’s popularity and influenced generations of artists. Alongside Rodgers, that inaugural class also included songwriter and publisher Fred Rose and the “Singing Brakeman’s” contemporary, Hank Williams, but Rodgers was the first to receive the honor.
