Smoky Dawson AM MBE (19 March 1913 – 13 February 2008), born as Herbert Henry Brown, was an Australian country music performer, radio star, entertainer, and icon. He was widely touted as Australia's first singing cowboy complete with acoustic steel string guitar and yodel, in the style of American Gene Autry: Dawson had an extraordinarily long and prolific career, releasing his first single in 1941 and his last album in 2005, aged 92, making him at the time the world's oldest recording artist.
Through his high-rating syndicated radio serials (at their height broadcast on 100 stations), television appearances, comic books and songs he created the persona of a happy-go-lucky singing cowboy. An Australian institution, he continued to perform and march in annual ANZAC day ceremonies right up to his death a month shy of his 95th birthday.
