Floyd Cramer (1933-1997) was an American country and pop pianist known for his distinctive "slip note" piano style. He was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and began playing piano at a young age. Cramer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in the late 1950s, where he became a sought-after session musician, contributing to numerous recordings by country music legends such as Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, and Roy Orbison.
Cramer's solo career took off in the early 1960s, with hits like "Last Date" and "On the Rebound." He is widely credited with popularizing the "Nashville Sound," a smooth and sophisticated style of country music that incorporated elements of pop and jazz. Throughout his career, Cramer received numerous accolades, including induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2003. He continued to perform and record music until his death in 1997.
