Billy Grammer, R. I. P.

chicagotribune.com: "Services will be this weekend in southern Illinois for singer-songwriter and Grand Ole Opry member Billy Grammer.

Grammer was perhaps best known for his 1958 chart-topping hit 'Gotta Travel On.' He was 85 when he died Wednesday of natural causes at a hospital in his native Benton.

A singer and guitarist who also was a Nashville recording session musician, Grammer performed regularly on the Grand Ole Opry beginning in 1959."
