Country Legend Eddie Arnold Dies

Last Thursday, following the death of his wife of 66 years a few months ago.

From "EFluxmedia":

"Eddy Arnold gave dignity and respect to country music at a time when it was referred to as ’hillbilly music,'" Cusic said. "The story of country music is, in many ways, the story of a fight for respect. Eddy Arnold gave it respect; he made you proud to be a country fan."
