Tex Williams


 

Tex Williams (August 23, 1917 - October 11, 1985) was an American country musician from Ramsey, Illinois. He helped move rural and acoustic country music to dance-oriented mainstream pop Western swing. His popularity peaked in the late 1940s. Williams is perhaps best-known for this talking blues style and his biggest hit is the novelty song "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette."
