Willie Nelson "Hello Walls", "Funny How Time Slips Away", "Crazy", "Night Life" medley

Before Willie Nelson became the outspoken, outlaw character singer-songwriter that he's known as, he was a successful writer who just couldn't hit the big time in Nashville because his sound was not at all what the country music establishment wanted to hear.  His phrasing is a lot like a jazz singer and Nashville just didn't seem ready at the time for someone who was so far outside the mold of what country music could or should be.  Nonetheless, here's a good performance of his hits medley circa 1965.  All these songs have now become standards of American music and Willie Nelson is indeed an American treasure.
