I believe "Honky-Tonk Man" fits the mold. The story is set in the 30's. Red Scoville played by Clint Eastwood travels from Oklahoma to Nashville with his nephew played by Clint's son to audition for the Grand Ole Opry. The problem is that he has tuberculosis and doesn't have long to live. The Opry turns him down because he can't finish a song without coughing. A record producer hears him and wants to record all 60 of the songs he has written before it's too late. He goes through hours of recording sessions so they can piece together the songs. The last song he records is a ballad called "Honky-Tonk Man". He is unable to finish the last verse so a studio musician played by Marty Robbins takes the mike and finishes the vocals for him. Red Soville soon passes away and the song is played on the radio after his death. What is ironicly sad about this is that Marty Robbins really died around the time the movie was released.
