In 1970, the Academy of Country Music named Marty Robbins the “Man of the Decade,” a tribute to both his musical brilliance and his extraordinary kindness. One of the most poignant examples of his compassion was the creation of the song “Two Little Boys.” Following the tragic 1963 plane crash that took the lives of country stars including Patsy Cline and Hawkshaw Hawkins, Jean Shepard—Hawkshaw’s widow and a fellow country singer—was left to grieve while raising their son Don and expecting their second child, Harold. Deeply moved by her sorrow, close friend Marty Robbins wrote “Two Little Boys” as a tribute. The lyrics reflect a widow’s aching love, imagining her husband living on through their sons. But Robbins’ most generous act came next—he didn’t claim the song as his own. Instead, he listed Don and Harold Hawkins as the official writers, gifting them all future royalties and a financial lifeline, forever tying love, music, and selfless generosity together.
