You're most likely familiar with the 'Red Headed Stranger' and his spectacular singing voice as the majority of people are. He's always sporting a bandana and sometimes has a cowboy hat on as well. The plain black t-shirt is just as iconic.

Willie Nelson is just as unforgettable for his voice as he is for his distinct style. He's been known for rocking the same outfit for a few decades now. Some people may have originally thought it was a fad, but Willie proved it was part of his unique persona.

Willie Nelson has become so popular in the 21st century, that some people don't even know about his music. He's become an A-list celebrity due to his constant touring and political voice. Those who have known about Willie Nelson for a long time will always associate his name with his down-to-earth personality, fantastic records, and soothing voice.

He is truly an inspiration for singers and songwriters around the world. In fact, a lot of famous musicians today would name Willie as a major influence.

A quick run through your memories or even a single Google search can prove just how often Willie Nelson is rocking his bandana. You might have even assumed it was attached to his hair permanently. Well, if you're in the mood for a surprise, then you'll love this old video straight out of the country music vault.

Back in the day, Willie Nelson gave an intimate performance for The Porter Wagoner Show in Nashville, Tennessee.

Willie Nelson can be seen looking as handsome as ever with an uncharacteristic cleaned-up look. The song performed in the video made it to the top of the charts like many of his songs.

Note the type of guitar that Willie's playing. Superfans will notice that it's not his typical Martin N-20 nicknamed Trigger. That trademark Nylon string guitar has been his favorite for years. But this video was filmed even before he adopted that instrument choice, reports Madly Odd.

It's fun seeing famous artists before they became super famous and developed a stage persona. Sometimes we forget that all celebrities and artists started out as normal people. They weren't born into their talent or fame. Rather, they had a clear dream and were willing to put in the necessary work in order to realize that vision.
