By the end of 1972, he had signed with JMI as a solo artist, releasing "Don't You Believe" as his debut. He signed with Jack Clement's Jack Music, Inc., initially just as a songwriter.
For the next two years, they had a series of minor hits, highlighted by two Top 40 hits in late 1966, "I Can Make It with You" and "Look What You've Done." The group stayed until 1971.Īfter the Pozo-Seco Singers disbanded, Williams decided to pursue a career as a songwriter in Nashville, since he wasn't convinced that he was suited for a solo career. In 1966, the Pozo-Seco Singers had a pop hit with "Time," which climbed into the Top 50. The following year, the band signed a contract with Columbia Records. Williams and Kline recruited another singer, Susan Taylor, and formed the Pozo-Seco Singers, a folk-pop group, in 1964. After completing high school, he formed his first band with a friend named Lofton Kline. As a teenager, he played in a variety of country, rockabilly, folk, and rock & roll bands. Williams began playing guitar when he was child, learning the instrument from his mother. Williams was never known as an innovator, but his ballads were immensely popular in the course of his career, he had a total of 17 number one hits. With his laid-back, straightforward vocals and large, imposing build, Don Williams came to be known as "the Gentle Giant." That nickname was bestowed on him in the early '70s, when he began a string of countrypolitan hits that ran into the early '90s.
