Beaumont, Texas's son Clay Walker has been providing Nashville with solid, no-nonsense country hits ("What's it to You?", "If I Could Make a Living") since releasing his hit debut album in 1993. Aside from being a black-hatted cowboy troubadour, Walker is also known for his tireless contributions to various multiple sclerosis charities (including his own). The singer was diagnosed with the disease in '97, and, through a protocol of medicine and dietary changes, has managed to keep the symptoms at bay for at least 10 years and counting.
