Roy Drusky

Roy Drusky was a smooth-voiced country singer and songwriter who made his mark during the Nashville Sound era of the 1960s and 1970s. Known for his rich baritone and easygoing delivery, Drusky specialized in heartfelt ballads and polished arrangements that helped bring country music to a broader audience. He started his career as a DJ before landing his break as a recording artist in the late 1950s, eventually scoring hits like "Another," "Three Hearts in a Tangle," and "Yes, Mr. Peters" — a duet with Priscilla Mitchell.

Drusky was also a prominent figure at the Grand Ole Opry and remained a consistent presence on the country charts for over two decades. Beyond singing, he had a knack for spotting great songs, often choosing top material from leading Nashville songwriters, which contributed to his lasting appeal. While rooted in traditional country, his style leaned toward the smoother, more orchestrated side of the genre, making him a standout in his time.
