Don Adams (country singer)

Don Adams (Greenfield, Ohio) was an American country music singer,[1] who often supported George Jones such as on Live at Dancetown U.S.A. (1965)[2] He also sang with Johnny Paycheck.

Adams was frequently mistaken for the Get Smart actor Don Adams, and Jack O'Diamonds Records received requests for the actor to sing the country singer's hit "Two of the Usual" on the Get Smart show.[3] In later years Adam was also confused with the Munich-based R&B singer Don Adams from the German production of the musical Hair.[4]

Later in life, Adams settled in British Columbia and is credited with helping establish country music in western Canada.
