Roger Miller - Kansas City Star

Roger Dean Miller (January 2, 1936 -- October 25, 1992) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and actor, best known for his honky tonk-influenced novelty songs. His most recognized tunes included the chart-topping country/pop hits "King of the Road", "Dang Me" and "England Swings", all from the mid-1960s Nashville sound era.
Miller died from lung cancer in 1992, and was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame three years later.
The Roger Miller Museum in his home town serves as a tribute to Miller.
