Willie Nelson


Hometown: Abbott, Texas
Why he matters: His unmistakable alto has churned out country hits for decades, and now he's almost as renowned for his activism on behalf of American farmers as he is for his musical legacy.
You should know: Willie has his own flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Willie Nelson's Country Peach Cobbler. A portion of the pint proceeds benefit Nelson's beloved Farm Aid charity.

WATCH: Willie Nelson, "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"
