Description:
(Singer-songwriter and musician) Jimmie Rodgers, known as the "Father of Country Music," was an American singer-songwriter and musician who gained fame in the late 1920s for his unique yodeling style. He started his musical journey by winning a local singing contest at a young age and later traveled with a medicine show to improve his skills. After being diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1924, Rodgers devoted himself to music, recording over 100 songs, with hits like "Blue Yodel No. 1 (T for Texas)," which helped establish his national reputation.
