Don
Winters was born in 1929 in Tampa, Florida. Raised mostly in South Georgia, he
was the son of entertainer "Pop" Winters who headed "The Southern Strollers."
Don began performing with them in the late 40s but moved to Nashville in the 50s
and recorded on Decca and RCA labels. Around 1960 he joined
Marty Robbins' band as a singer and
guitar player. With Bobby Sykes the three
were known as "The Marty Robbins Trio." He was a gifted vocalist, noted
especially for his yodeling and long wind. His solo efforts included "Too Many
Times" and "Shake Hands With A Loser." He was a devoted and loyal friend to
Marty, accompanying him to races and public appearances and singing with him
until his death in 1982. Don passed away at his home in Nolensville, Tennessee
on August 17, 2002, after a year's struggle with liver cancer. He is survived by
three sons and two daughters. Two sons, Donnie and Dennis, comprise the Southern
Rock band, The Winters Brothers.
