Resolution No. 1007 designates March 10, 2025, as Bob Wills Day at the Capitol, honoring the life and legacy of the influential musician from Oklahoma. Bob Wills, known as the King of Western Swing, played a pivotal role in the development of a music genre that combined folk, jazz, and blues, ultimately influencing rock and roll and modern country music. His contributions to the music industry include performances at the historic Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, live radio broadcasts, national tours, and appearances in films. Wills was recognized with inductions into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, solidifying his status as a significant figure in American music history.

The resolution expresses gratitude to the Oklahoma Arts Council, the Oklahoma Film and Music Office, and the Oklahoma Historical Society for their efforts in reviving Bob Wills Day at the Capitol. It also acknowledges the contribution of Wills' family, who have donated his archival collection to the Oklahoma Historical Society for future generations to appreciate. The resolution aims to celebrate Wills' enduring impact on Oklahoma's cultural heritage and the music industry as a whole. A copy of the resolution will be distributed to the involved organizations to commemorate this special occasion.
