| Country Music lost two of it's great artists this week. Eddy Arnold passed away Thursday, May 8, at the age of 89 in Brentwood, Tennessee. On Monday, May 5, Jerry Wallace died of congestive heart failure at age 79 in Corona, California. Eddie Arnold was a pioneer of "The Nashville Sound", a mixture of country and pop styles. He was the first country singer to "cross over" to the pop field consistently, paving the way for later singers. His first number 1 single was in 1947 "What Is Life Without Love", and his last number one was in 1968 "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye". He had consistent chart hits from 1945 all the way through 1999 when his duet with Leann Rimes on "Cattle Call" reached #18. "Cattle Call" was probably his most well-known #1 hit, originally recorded in 1955. Jerry Wallace charted a series of pop hits in the late 50's and early 60's including "Primrose Lane" and "In The Misty Moonlight", then moved to a stronger country sound and charted 35 country singles through 1980. Both singers will be missed. ********Please check out our other websites on the links to the left for more great music - If you order from another of our websites on the same day, we will combine the orders, ship them together, and eliminate the extra postage charge.
