His mother and her sisters and brothers often sang together at church functions, and there are some folk music recordings of them in the Library of Congress.

Haworth started appearing on the radio with George Earle (dropped Wilson for professional name)--no relation to Slim and Aunt Martha.

[1] The station, heard across the Ozarks, was a stepping-stone during Haworth's years for such musicians as Porter Wagoner, Les Paul, Chet Atkins and The Browns.

Haworth was one of several KWTO performers who made the transition to television when Springfield's KYTV produced Ozark Jubilee beginning in December 1953.

In 1955, Wagoner also became a part of Ozark Jubilee, but on February 23, 1957, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and joined the Grand Ole Opry.

Haworth performed in Nashville with Wagoner, Rex Allen, and Leroy Van Dyke, but preferred living in Springfield.

Haworth Court is among several streets in a residential neighborhood northeast of downtown Nixa, Missouri named for performers on Ozark Jubilee, including Red Foley Court, Zed Tennis Street, Slim Wilson Boulevard and Ozark Jubilee Drive.
