If James Brown was the hardest working man in show business, Tim Spears is the hardest working man in the country music business today according to those who know him best in Staunton, Virginia. Mama Cash, was one of Spear's biggest supporters and considered him like a son, along with Johnny Cash, Tommy Cash, Joanne Cash Yates and her entire Cash family. Mama Cash said, "Tim Spears is an humble country singer doing a monumental task that the Lord needs done in this poverty stricken world." Spears is famous for past hits like "Goodbye Dale," the song about the passing of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt. Spears has given and donated a life time of service to those in need and now nationally his "big heart and helping hand to autistic children" (other Hollywood stars that have helped autistic children are Joey McIntyre, Marissa Winokur, and Kelsey Grammer) is finally getting the recognition that he so deserves. Spears is the 2007 ASA Humanitarian Artist Of The Year. His latest hit "Feel The Thunder" is for the benefit of autistic children and the Autism Society Of America.
