DeFord Bailey
The First Star of the Grand Ole Opry
by Aashid Himons and the Reverend Keith Gordon
On June 23rd, 1983, Roy Acuff-- King of the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music, stood by the grave of the Opry's First Star.
Who was the first star of the Opry? Most people would think it was a familiar great like Jimmie Rogers or Uncle Dave Macon. But contrary to popular belief the Opry's First Star was none other than the legendary "Harmonica Wizard," DeFord Bailey-- a Melanized American born and raised 40 miles east of Nashville.
