BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Born on September 17, 1923 in Mount Olive, Alabama, USA, Williams wrote and performed iconic songs such as "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Hey Good Lookin'," and "I Saw The Light." Despite his untimely death at the age of 29 on January 1, 1953 in Oak Hill, West Virginia, USA, his impact on country music continues to resonate.

Throughout his career, Hank Williams had a profound influence on the genre with his heartfelt lyrics and distinctive voice. He was married to Audrey Sheppard from 1944 to 1952 before marrying Billie Jean Jones in 1952 until his passing. As a father to Hank Williams Jr., Jett Williams, and grandfather to Hank Williams III, Holly Williams, and Hilary Williams (son Hank III), he left behind a lasting musical legacy that spans generations.

In recognition of his immense talent and contributions to country music history, Hank Williams was posthumously honored with numerous inductions into prestigious halls of fame. In 1961, he became one of the three original members inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Additionally, he was welcomed into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970 and received induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 for his early influence
