Wills was born in
Jewett, Texas, United States, and was the younger brother of
Bob Wills. On September 14, 1996, Tulsa honored Wills with a street named after him. Johnnie Lee Wills Lane is directly in front of the
Expo Square Pavilion at the
Tulsa State Fairgrounds. At the official dedication in 1996, his son John T. Wills said, "...although Dad was born a Texan, when you think about it, he lived and died a Tulsan." ==Discography==
