Horton managed to infuse honky tonk with an urgent rockabilly underpinning.

His career may have been cut short by a fatal car crash in 1960, but his music reverberated throughout the next three decades.

Horton was born in Los Angeles in 1925, the son of sharecropping parents.

During his childhood, his family continually moved between California and Texas, in an attempt to find work.

His mother taught him how to play guitar at the age of 11.
