Mason Williams reached his peak in the late 1960s. A humorous
scriptwriter and virtuosic acoustic guitar player and composer,
Williams reached the top of the hit parade in 1968 with his classical
folk guitar instrumental, "Classical Gas." Although
it took six months for the single to become a chart-topping smash,
it went on to win Grammy awards as Best Instrumental (Theme) Composition
and Best Instrumental (Theme) Performance, as well as a Best Instrumental
Orchestral Arrangement award for arranger Mike Post.
