William Orville "Lefty" Frizzell was born in Corsicana in 1928 and became a country music singer-songwriter who set the style of singing "the country way" for the generations that followed. He gained prominence in 1950 after the major hit "If You've Got the Money (I've Got the Time)" and influenced a number of other country singers, including George Jones, Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison. His success did not carry on into the 1960s, and after suffering from alcoholism he died in 1975 and was buried in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in October 1982, posthumously. You can find this box at Oakwood Cemetery in his hometown.
