JERRY JEFF WALKER

The music of crooner Jerry Jeff Walker is remembered just like a loving companion in times of sorrow. His voice is known to impart a deep sense of sadness and mixed feelings. In the span of his career, Walker has recorded more than 30 long plays. He is known for his 1971 song Mr. Bojangles, a popular song for its fun yet melancholic lyrics. Although Walker’s fame was at its highest peak from the ‘70s to the ‘80s, the singer never came to a point when he stopped making music. Walker continued singing and writing songs up to the 2000s and was also included in an all-star band organized by fellow singer Nanci Griffith.

As Walker aged, he could have had enjoyed his retirement fund and insurance. But his heart was still in performing. He was still active in the industry. He made appearances in TV shows such as Late Night with David Letterman to perform his classic hits.
