Don Williams, an award-winning country music singer, whose love ballads and positive messaged songs inspired a whole generation around the world, has died aged 78.

Williams, nicknamed ‘the gentle giant’, had a rich voice, gentle delivery and storytelling style. He toured sparingly, did few media interviews and spent much of his time on his farm west of Nashville.
