He started out as a member of the Pozo-Seco Singers, a folk quartet that had a handful of hits on the pop charts.Williams signed with JMI Records as a solo artist in 1972 and scored a few hits, but achieved his breakthrough in 1974 with "I Wouldn't Want to Live If You Didn't Love Me" on ABC/Dot. He stayed with Dot until it was bought out by MCA, and later recorded for various other labels. He scored 17 #1 hits on the country charts throughout the 1970s and '80s, and even had a few hits into the early '90s. He had been semi-retired since about 1992, but continued to record sporadically up until his death.Williams's material was characterized by his soft singing voice and lighthearted ballads. His most successful crossover hit is "I Believe in You" in 1980, which went to #24 on the pop charts. His 1979 hit "Tulsa Time," as close as his material ever got to classic/southern rock, would be covered a year later by Eric Clapton, while another 1979 Williams' hit, "It Must Be Love," was covered by Alan Jackson in 2000.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

B-Side: One of Don's earliest country hits was 1973's "Come Early Morning"/"Amanda," for which radio stations played both sides.note This was despite radio stations, by this time, being serviced only with 45 RPM records having the same song on both sides of the record; the record companies by the early 1970s were wanting specific songs played on radio, and supplying records this way discouraged disc jockeys from flipping a record that had flopped over to find a song they might have liked better ... something that had happened many times over the years. Despite only reaching No. 12 on the country chart, the song was one of the biggest hits of the year thanks to an extended chart run and popularity — from mid-May to early October — that rotated from radio station to radio station, region to region and record store to record store ... it was never massively popular all at once, but the big picture showed it was one of 1973's biggest hits despite its relatively modest chart finish. | |
