Jennings died in 2002, a year after being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. During his 40-year career, he scored approximately 70 top 40 hits on Billboard’s country charts, including such monumental classics as “Rainy Day Woman,” “Luckenbach, Texas,” “Amanda,” “Theme from the Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol’ Boys)” and countless others.
Wanted! The Outlaws, featuring Jennings, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser and Colter, and the 1976 release became the first country album to be certified platinum.
Jennings and Nelson, who duetted on the iconic “Good-Hearted Woman” and “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” among others, were also part of The Highwaymen, a ‘80s country supergroup that featured Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash.
