Pianiste Country US née Polly Adelaide Hendricks, le 22 Février 1920 à
Nashville (Tennessee). Del Wood est décédé le 3 Octobre 1989.
Del Wood
was one of the best female musicians in the history of country music and one of
the few to make it big playing the piano. Her best-known song is her novelty
version of "Down Yonder," which hit both the country and pop charts in 1951. It
also earned her a gold record and a guest-starring appearance on the Grand Ole
Opry. In 1952, she became a member of the Opry and remained so until her death
in 1989.
Wood was born Polly Adelaide Hendricks in Nashville, Tennessee and began playing
the piano at age five. Her stage name was created by combining part of her
middle name with part of her married name (Hazelwood). Although she only had one
hit, Wood recorded many albums during her long career.
