Country superstar Eddie Arnold dies at 89  

Hi Mooch, I remember Eddie Arnold from my teenage years. He was one of the best loved country singers of his day. I hadn't heard anything about him in years, and assumed that he had already passed on. He had a long life and apparently a good marriage. May they both rest in peace. Blessings.

I thought Eddie Arnold was the guy that played on green acres with eva gabor or am I mistaken him for somebody else. 89, is a good old age to die, almost 90, he lived a long and hopefully happy life.

I am so sorry to hear of losing another one of the singers from my generation..

The following was copied from the link which youprovided, I thought everyone would like to read this part..

The reference book "Top Country Singles 1944-1993,'" by Joel Whitburn, ranked Arnold the No. 1 country singer in terms of overall success on the Billboard country charts. It lists his first No. 1 hit as "It's a Sin," 1947, and for the following year ranks his "Bouquet of Roses" as the biggest hit of the entire year.

Other hits included "Cattle Call," "The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me," "Anytime," "Bouquet of Roses," "What's He Doing in My World?" "I Want to Go With You," "Somebody Like Me," "Lonely Again" and "Turn the World Around."

Most of his hits were done in association with famed guitarist Chet Atkins, the producer on most of the recording sessions.

The late Dinah Shore once described his voice as like "warm butter and syrup being poured over wonderful buttermilk pancakes."

This excerpt make you remember him much more vividly.. He will be missed..

It is sad when we lose a good musican/actor etc. It seems that he was quite important to country and western music (you will have to excuse my ignorance please as I haven't heard of him). I must say that it sounds like he had a good life and what a pleasure that he was the root of such wonderful music.

Thanks for sharing this with us and I am sorry that he has passed away.

this floored me as I hadnt heard it til I read it here.
I had to go cry for awhile.
AS even tho he was a great singer he came form a town close to my home town and my hubby used to tell me how his daddy snuck him to the bars where Eddie was singer my hubby had to be about 5 but he remebered him .
and he also tolsd me that all the old men laughed whwen Eddie packed his bag and said he was goin gto make it big in Nashville and left town hitch hiking and I know my father in law told them he told them old men so when Eddie made it big.

I was so sad to hear about Eddie. He will be missed.
