Tom T. Hall’s 1971 hit “The Year That Clayton Delaney Died” is a heartfelt tribute to his childhood hero, guitarist Lonnie Easterly. Hall gave him the name “Clayton Delaney” to protect his identity. The song tells the story of a young boy’s admiration for a troubled local musician who left a lasting mark before dying young. With its upbeat melody and brass touches, it became Hall’s second number-one hit and helped cement his legacy as country music’s “Storyteller.” #country | HonkyTonkin'TV
