The Health and Happiness Show is a radio program featuring the legendary country musician Hank Williams. The show revolves around Williams&#39; soulful songwriting and heartfelt performances, which remain timeless and relevant even after 70 years. Consisting of eight episodes, listeners experience Williams&#39; powerful and piercing voice through a mix of his early hits such as &quot;Lovesick Blues&quot; and &quot;Mind Your Own Business.&quot; Although the audio quality of the recordings is as good as his studio-produced releases, the program follows a formulaic structure, with each 15-minute episode including an opening song, duets with his first wife Audrey, and some fiddle numbers from the Drifting Cowboys band member Jerry Rivers.</p><p>The Health and Happiness Show was recorded in October 1949 at WSM in Nashville, and it turns 70 years old in October 2019. Interestingly, the show was sponsored by Hadacol, a purported cure-all elixir created by Louisiana state senator Dudley LeBlanc that claimed to remedy a wide range of ailments. The product was heavily promoted using various tactics, such as humorous newspaper ads and a song titled &quot;Hadacol Bounce&quot; by New Orleans&#39; Professor Longhair. Despite its dated format and the less-than-stellar singing by Audrey Williams, the radio show preserved the essence of Hank Williams&#39; exceptional talent and serves as a valuable piece of music history.
