I have just received news that Don Winters, great singer/songwriter and member of Marty Robbins Band for so many years, passed away last evening. At this time I do not have visitation or funeral arrangements. As soon as I receive them I will send them out.

Our prayers go out to his family.

MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.

More details

Known popularly as "The Yodeling King", Don scored a major hit for the Louvin
Brothers in 1955, writing "You're Runnin' Wild". He also had a top-ten single of
his own in 1961, "Too Many Times".

His sons, Dennis and Donnie, make up the Winters Brothers, a popular southern
rock touring band.
