RIP - Don Williams. The Gentle Giant.

Don Williams, an influential and award-winning country singer of hits including the love ballad “I Believe in You,” has died. He was 78.
A statement from publicist Kirt Webster said Williams died Friday after a short illness.


Williams had 17 No. 1 hits before retiring in 2016. His mellow sound influenced a later generation of singers including Joe Nichols and Josh Turner, and Keith Urban has said Williams drew him to country music.
Williams, nicknamed “the Gentle Giant,” had a rich voice, gentle delivery and a storytelling style. He toured sparingly, did few media interviews and spent much of his time on his farm west of Nashville.
