Happy 80th Birthday to Willie Nelson! (VIDEO)

Willie Nelson turns 80 today.

He is one of the last of the great country music legends still standing.  After a career which has spanned more than fifty years, Willie shows no signs of giving up.  He still continues a heavy touring schedule and is a frequent visitor to the recording studio for his own (and others) new releases.

We all know the Willie of today...long braids, red-white-and-blue headband, grizzled beard, old rickety guitar.  But he wasn't always like that.  Check out this great old video of one of Willie's first TV appearances in 1962.

Happy Birthday to one of the true greats...WILLIE NELSON!
