Written by Mitchell Torok.
William Marvin "Billy" Walker (January 14, 1929–May 21, 2006)
was an American country music singer and guitarist, best known for his 1962 hit, "Charlie's Shoes".
Nicknamed "The Tall Texan", Walker had more than 30 charting records during a nearly 60-year career, and was a longtime member of the Grand Ole Opry.
On May 21, 2006, Walker died in a road accident when the van he was driving back to Nashville after a performance in Foley, Alabama, veered off Interstate 65 in Fort Deposit and overturned.
His wife Bettie; bassist Charles Lilly Jr., son of Everett Lilly of The Lilly Brothers; and guitarist Daniel Patton were also killed.
The Walkers, Lilly, and Patton died instantly.
Walker's grandson, Joshua Brooks, survived with serious injuries.
