Let’s see, Williams began his solo career in 1970 and man was he successful – he earned 17 chart toppers and even began to be known as the Gentle Giant of country music. With hits like “I Wouldn’t Want to Live If You Didn’t Love Me,” and “We Should Be Together,” we’re not surprised. So Williams apparently retired in 2006 even though he carried on touring and released a new album. At 77, he as officially retired this time around.
