Timeline
Clarence Albert Poindexter (May 4, 1905 – January 28, 1984), known best as Al Dexter, was an American country musician and songwriter.
Born in Jacksonville, Texas, United States, Dexter owned a bar in the 1930s and helped popularize the style of country music known as honky tonk.
He made his recording debut on November 28, 1936, for ARC Records.
and was probably the first artist to ever use the term "honky tonk" in a country song when he recorded "Honky Tonk Blues" at his first session.
Another hit from the 1940s was "Guitar Polka", which entered Billboard's list as the "Most Played Juke Box Folk Record" for 16 weeks running in 1946.
Still other hits include "So Long Pal", "Triflin' Gal", "I'm Losing My Mind Over You" and "Too Late to Worry, Too Blue to Cry."
He is best known today for his most popular song "Pistol Packin' Mama," a 1943 hit which was one of the most popular recordings of the World War II years and later became a hit again with a cover by Bing Crosby as well as The Andrews Sisters.
His self-penned hit, "Pistol Packin' Mama", became the 1943 marching chorus of the New York Yankees.
The 1943 movie of the same name, made by the Republic Pictures, gave Dexter close to $250,000 in royalties.
Dexter was the first country singer to perform on Broadway, and in 1971, was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
He died on January 28, 1984, in Lewisville, Texas.
Following Al Dexter's death in 1984, his family discovered 50 master tapes containing studio recordings.
On August 21, 2010, Dexter was inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall Of Fame, located in Carthage, Texas.
Other inductees that night were George Jones along with composer Ray Winkler.
In 2010, Al Dexter's son, Carl Wayne Poindexter, released the three-disc CD box set entitled Al Dexter's Found Masters Volume 1–3 on his independent record label, Al Dexter Estate Productions.
