Ben Dorcy

Ben Dorcy (May 19, 1925 – September 16, 2017) was the first person to be inducted into the Roadies Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2009. From 1960 until 1963 he was a delivery driver for Nudie Cohn. He was a roadie for Hank Thompson, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. His work with Nelson was highlighted in the documentary King of the Roadies.[1]

Two songs were written about him: "Ode to Ben Dorcy" (Lovey's Song) by Waylon Jennings and "Big Ben Dorcy the Third" by Red Sovine.[2]

Ben Dorcy Day is celebrated on February 22, the day Ben met Willie Nelson.[3]
