2. Wow, what a legend... That saddens me for sure.. I still play his songs...
all of the time... In my eyes he was one of the best male vocals of all time...

7. Unless you are in your mid to late 50's or in your 60's you probably won't...
know who Eddy Arnold is...

He did great songs like:

Welcome to my world
Tom Dooley
The End of the world
Then you can tell me goodbye

And many, many more...

10. Did he ever write a song that didn't include the
word "world" in it? I did like him though, he was very popular back in the 60's.

34. Mid-40s, but my dad loved REAL country and western and bluegrass and brought me up to love
both--and ALL kinds of music as well.

What a great voice; all the great voices seem to be going.

42. Then I'm *sure* you've heard *Lonesome Cattle Call*... I heard that over & over as a kid..
and it **still** gets stuck in my head from time to time.. even though I haven't heard it in YEARS!...

I was just talking to a friend about that the other day, as a matter of fact..

52. Glad you reminded me; I've had an earworm of a bad McCartney song
(I think it's called "That's what the Man Says") for a couple of days and that sent it packing--Thank goodness!

4. All I know about him is that a song of his was covered for Grand Theft Auto
But seems like he was a good guy upon reading some stuff on him today. A shame.

17. Thanks for the link. I love that song. Now I have tears in my eyes.
And not just for Eddie. Hearing him makes me think of my Grandpa who passed away when I was 17.

P.S. Nice to have a little meeting of the DU "oldsters" from time to time! How y'all are?

20. Was that really his nickname??
Not to take anything away from his death; I'm sure I would have heard of him if I were into country music, but the "Tennessee Plowboy" sounds like the moniker for a porn star!!

14. The world has lost a singularly beautiful voice in Eddy Arnold.
Edited on Thu May-08-08 02:55 PM by Herdin_Cats
A voice like melted butter, and he made it look so easy.

His music makes me think of sitting with my Grandparents listening to their old records. Eddie Arnold was my grandpa's favorite. And for good reason.

16. Music at Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Eddy-Arnold/e/B000APBDNS

It is said he took country music "city". I remember his singing "and I love you so."...nothing country about that.

Also "welcome to my world"

36. That video reminds me of when I was a teenager in Texas; we
would be driving down a Texas road and one of our favorite things was to slam on the breaks, jump out of the car and go over and hug one of the cows like those in the video. Another favorite thing was if we saw a turtle crossing the road, we'd slam on the breaks, someone would jump out and carry the turtle to the other side. A good time was had by all. Cattle Call is one of my favorite Eddie Arnold songs.

I'm not a "country girl". . No history of the old west in my bones. .

Something about that song evokes melancholy, though peaceful, imagery in my head like no other.

Thanks for posting that. I will miss Mr. Arnold.

35. My grandmother now has her favorite singer to listen to...
up in Heaven. OK I'm an atheist but she wasn't and she LOVED Eddie Arnold. Even during the period that I hated country music I still appreciated Eddie and his voice. I can hear him singing "Cattle Call" right now.

RIP Eddie and watch out up there for a wiry little lady named Elva.

44. How about that? A two-fer!
It's the only full length version of Cattle Call I've been able to find and I don't think I ever heard him sing Tennessee Stud. He did Bill Monroe proud.

Thanks and a big hat tip spenbax for the OP. Because of you I've been listenin' to Eddy all night.

50. Wow. I just love the production values of those songs!
Super under-stated but first class sound and presentation. That wide-open sound just doesn't get done anymore, and it's even more impressive nowadays that we don't have to hear the hiss, scratches and turnatble rumble of the old days.

Vacuum tubes, Eddie Arnold and digital sound - they're made for each other.:thumbsup:
