from the liner notes in "THE COMPLETE HANK WILLIAMS" (10CD-box, Mercury 314 536 077-2):

"When he was getting started in Shreveport in '48 and '49, Hank had worked with Curley Williams. Hank sometimes said they were brothers, but they weren't. He and Curley wrote several songs together, and hank and Audry [Hank's wife] even roomed with Curley and his wife when times were lean. Curley had been recording for Columbia since 1945 without much success, and Hank was probably trying to give his buddy a helping hand by recording Curley's "Half As Much". Rose [Fred Rose, from Acuff-Rose Publications. He became Hank's producer and songwriter mentor.] held back Hank's version until March 1952; by then it was clear that Curley's original wasn't going anywhere. Hank's version got to #2, and Rosemary Clooney's pop cover got to #2."
