Ford, Tennessee Ernie
orig. Ernest Jennings

born Feb. 13, 1919, Bristol, Tenn., U.S.

U.S. country music singer.

He studied music in Cincinnati. After World War II he worked in radio in the Los Angeles area and soon signed a recording contract with Capitol. His "Mule Train" and "Shot Gun Boogie" made him famous by 1951. He became a staple on the Grand Ole Opry and had many crossover hits, including "Sixteen Tons" and "Ballad of Davy Crockett." He later switched his emphasis to gospel music; his 1957 album Hymns enjoyed great success. He continued recording into the 1970s.
