ROY ACUFF 1925 HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK HISTORIC KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC BEAUTIFUL

Description

This is an absolutely stunning and historic 1925 Central High School of Fountain City, Tennessee featuring the extremely involved “King of Country Music” Roy Acuff!
Acuff is widely credited for moving country music away from it’s early “string band” and “hoedown” formats to the singer-based format which helped make it internationally successful! In 1952 Hank Williams told Ralph Gleason, “He’s the biggest singer this music ever knew. You booked him and you didn’t worry about crowds. For drawing power in the South, it was Roy Acuff, then God.”....
This yearbook features Roy “Rabbit” Acuff in numerous photos and mentions as he was HEAVILY involved in sports, singing, school leadership, etc. The yearbook itself is in exceptional condition for it’s age - and is a beautiful bound leather with gorgeous embossing.... a delight to look at.
This is truly a museum-worthy piece of history - thanks for looking!
