I don't know who he is.

He is a country singer who had a bad stuttering problem but when he sang it was great. He would do talk shows & even made fun of himself because of his stuttering.

Wow!  I remember him from way back.  Remember he studdered badly and made a funny routine out of it.

He was 85.  When he sang he sounded amazing, didn't studder.  Here's a little something about him:

Tillis also appeared in television shows such as "Hee Haw" and "Hollywood Squares," as well as movies, including "Smokey and the Bandit 2." He also did commercial work for Wataburger, according to the Tennessean.

I just loved him and Terry Bradshaw in Cannonball Run. He really was a master at making his stutter work for him rip.

The speech teacher was so good & knew he could sing that is what his career, teacher gave him confidence with his problem but talk show people loved that he has this problem & he had a wonderful career with the country music.

I saw him twice at his Theather in Branson,Mo. a few years ago.

He was very at ease talking to us and loved his singing.

You will be missed by many fans.
