Sleepy Jeffers

Country/Hillbilly artist. Born: February 15, 1922 in East Tennessee - Died: November 25, 1992. He entered into a show business career at the age of ten when his father William M. "Mack" Jeffers formed a group called the "Fiddling Farmers". Worked with the Davis Twins, marrying Honey Davis. The careers of Jeffers and the Davis Twins thereafter work as a threesome. This seems to be the period when Sleepy developed his comic alter-ego "Little Willie," an overgrown child in a sailor cap and short pants. As Little Willie aged he eventually became "Uncle Willie."
