Donna Hall is music royalty in Mobile. She sang with the family band, Wet Willie, when they lived down the street from the Allman Brothers and toured with the Grateful Dead. She sang backup on albums for Grand Funk Railroad and Kitty Wells. She still can't live without music, but family overshadows anything she has ever done.
Here is her story.
