Willie Nelson, a living legend, has led an extraordinary life since the 1960s, writing hits for stars like Ray Price and Patsy Cline. By 1975, he became a star himself, blending pop, jazz, country, and more into a unique sound that won him countless fans. Introduced to music young, he wrote his first song at 7 and performed with Western swing pioneer Bob Wills by 13. Raised by musically trained grandparents, Nelson, now 89, still plays guitar. Last May, after a bandmate tested positive for COVID-19, Nelson also fell ill, facing a tough recovery due to his age.
