Born Noble Ray Price in Perryville, Texas on January 12th. Ray as a boy worked on his family farm in East Texas and later moved to Dallas as a teenager. He attended North Texas Agricultural College in Arlington, TX where he studied veterinary medicine, but left college to join the Marines in WW II.

In 1946 Ray resumed his college studies but his love of music could not keep him away from playing as much as he could. He left his veterinary studies to pursue his dream of music. After leaving college, Ray landed a spot on the prestigious Big “D” Jamboree, where he gained national exposure when parts of the show were broadcast over the CBS Radio Network. Ray’s continued success gave him his first major break by signing with Columbia Records in 1951.

He then moved to Nashville, TN, became close friends with Hank Williams and together they co-wrote the hit song, “Weary Blues From Waitin’.” Ray performed many shows with Hank and filled in for Hank on many occasions when Hank was unable to perform. At one time Ray and Hank shared a house in Nashville. Ray is a protégé of his friend Hank Williams who paved the way for Ray to become one of the most significant artists in all of country music.
