Known as the Red-Headed Stranger, Willie Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is perhaps one of the most iconic [[Country Music]] artists of the 20th century. He started his career in the 1950s, playing bass guitar for Ray Price and writing songs for others (ever heard of "Crazy" by Patsy Cline?). A modest #10 hit in 1962 ("Willingly"), first brought him to the charts, but it wasn't until 1975 that he broke through with the massive crossover hit "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". For most of the 1970s and 1980s, Nelson was at the top of his game, charting both as a solo singer and as a duet partner with... well, almost everybody: [[Waylon Jennings]], [[Merle Haggard]], [[Julio Iglesias]] and [[Ray Charles]], among others. Although Nelson hasn't touched the Top 40 on his own since 1990, the occasional duet found its way onto the charts as late as 2003's "Beer for My Horses", with [[Toby Keith]].▼

* [[Badass Beard]]: He's always had one.
** Actually, not always: In fact, for his first decade and a half in music, he was clean-shaven (as evidenced in [[wikipedia:Country Favorites-Willie Nelson Style|one of his early albums]]). The beard didn't show up until "Shotgun Willie", which coincidentally was when he changed to the Outlaw Country style we know him for today.
