Frank Buckley Walker

Francis Buckley "Frank" Walker (October 24, 1889 - October 15, 1963) was an American talent agent and author from the New York City area. Some of his talent discoveries included country music singer Hank Williams, blues singer Bessie Smith, and banjoist Samantha Bumgarner.
He is known for running the Johnson City Sessions from 1928 to 1929, which launched the careers of various artists including Charlie Bowman and Clarence Ashley. In 1923, Walker became the head of A & R for Columbia Records and RCA Victor. His career as a talent agent lasted for over 40 years until his death in 1963. In his later years, Walker also wrote biographies of Giuseppe Verdi and Hugo Wolf.
==Early life==
Frank Walker was born on a farm in Fly Summit, an area in Cambridge, New York, on October 24, 1889. He was the youngest of seven children born to Mary Ann Buckley (August 13, 1851 - April 25, 1922) and Solomon Walker (June 14, 1852 - November 6, 1895). Frank and his brothers, Lester, George, Mack, and Ed worked on the farm as children and helped with income for the family. They especially helped when their father died of consumption when Frank was only six. He disliked working on the farm as a child apparently because of the long hours of work and the hard labor. He left home when he was 18 and took up a job in a bank in Albany. Eventually he became assistant manager and stayed in Albany for five years.
