Willie Nelson has a 90-year-old roadie named Ben Dorcy — and the guy’s had an incredible life.

He’s toured with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Kinky Friedman, Jack Ingram, and Jamey Johnson, and he was once a gardener and chauffeur to John Wayne. He was also the first inductee into the Roadie Hall of Fame in 2009.

The two met in the 1960s while on the road with Ray Price. Willie was the bass player and Ben was, of course, a roadie.

Willie brought him along when he went solo; and Ben was lucky enough to be on the bus during one of the marijuana arrests. Willie told “Rolling Stone”: “He was over there asleep and I think I told them he was dead.”

Willie’s narrating a documentary about him called “King of the Roadies”. Willie’s youngest daughter and his grandnephew are directing it, and there’s a Kickstarter.com campaign hoping to get it finished.
