James Charles Rodgers was an American singer-songwriter and musician who rose to popularity in the late 1920s. Widely regarded as 'the Father of Country Music', he is best known for his distinctive rhythmic yodeling. Unusual for a music star of his era, Rodgers rose to prominence based upon his recordings, among country music's earliest, rather than concert performances – which followed to similar public acclaim.
