RIP Eddy Arnold Is Dead

The country-pop superstar died today at age 89. Arnold’s crooning voice and smooth songs helped to shepherd in the Nashville Sound, creating crossover success for country music on the pop charts.
I don’t listen to much Eddy Arnold (I generally like my country as honky-tonk as it can get), but he has a special place in my heart because he’s one of my dad’s favorite singers, and we listened to him all the time in our car when I was a kid. My sister and I couldn’t stand the yodel-heavy “Cattle Call” at the time, but I’ve since been known to listen to it many times on repeat. It’s an awfully pretty song.
