This mornings news was sad. Eddie Arnold passed away this morning in Tennessee at the age of 89, just a few days short of his 90th birthday. Eddie Arnold was one of the great Country Western singers often teaming up with Chet Atkins. He was born in Tennessee on May 15, 1918. He had a total of 145 songs that made the charts, twenty eight of them were Number 1 Hits. He originally was managed by Colonel Tom Parker, who would later become the Manager of Elvis Presley.

Eddie Arnold was always one of my favorites, just a few days ago I happened to find a LP Album that we had purchased back in the 1960's. He was one of the great ones. The links below will take you to just a few of his big hits. Eddie Arnold was inducted into the Country Western Hall of Fame in 1966.
