Ted Daffan, Hall of Fame Country Music Artist
Captured in the recordings above is Ted Daffan and family members. Ted Daffan was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. His biography page on their website has a nice quote from Ted about his work writing songs as well as five of his hit songs.
The Country Music Hall of Fame website has a biography of Ted Daffan and information about a 1968 recording of an interview housed at the Hall of Fame.
This video comes from a Salute to Ray Charles broadcast on TV. Of the over 100 people that have performed music by Ted Daffan, this genre-crossing clip is of Elton John singing the very popular song, "Born To Lose". Or, if you prefer, here is a recording of Ray Charles singing it.

Also recording Born To Lose (on YouTube): Leann Rimes, Marty Robbins and of course Ted Daffan's Texans with some nice photos.
Worried Mind is another big hit for Ted. The bonus here is watching the actual 78rpm record playing!
Ted also has a biography listed on Wikipedia.com .
