Henry William Thompson (September 3, 1925 – November 6, 2007) was an American country music entertainer whose career spanned seven decades.
Thompson's musical style, characterized as honky tonk Western swing, was a mixture of fiddles, electric guitar and steel guitar that featured his distinctive, smooth baritone vocals.
His backing band, The Brazos Valley Boys, was voted the top Country Western Band for 14 years in a row by Billboard. The primary difference between his music and that of Bob Wills was that Thompson, who used the swing beat and instrumentation to enhance his vocals, discouraged the intense instrumental soloing from his musicians that Wills encouraged; however, the "Hank Thompson sound" exceeded Bob Wills in Top 40 country hits.
Although not as prominent on the top country charts in later decades, Thompson remained a recording artist and concert draw well into his 80s.
Hank Thompson Just An Old Flame lyrics
She just an old flame I don't recall her name she just happened along
An old sweetheart who played a small part why do you ask me what's wrong
She was never my kind never on my mind just a casual affair
I seemed to forget just how we met and somehow I really don't care
That's what I'll say when they ask me whatever happened to you
I'll need to try to tell them you broke my heart into
Just another date I haven't seen of late what did you say was her name
I'll smile in disguise hide the tears in my eyes she's just an old flame
That's what I'll say when they ask me whatever happened to you
I'll need to try to tell them you broke my heart into
Just another date I haven't seen of late what did you say was her name
I'll smile in disguise hide the tears in my eyes she's just an old flame
