Arnold died at a care facility near Nashville, said Don Cusic, a professor at Belmont University and author of the biography "Eddy Arnold: I'll Hold You in My Heart." His wife of 66 years, Sally, had died in March, and in the same month, Arnold fell outside his home, injuring his hip. Arnold's vocals on songs like the 1965 "Make the World Go Away," one of his many No. 1 country hits and a top 10 hit on the pop charts, made him one of the most successful country singers in history. Folksy yet sophisticated, he became a pioneer of "The Nashville Sound," also called "countrypolitan," a mixture of country and pop styles. His crossover success paved the way for later singers such as Kenny Rogers. "I sing a little country, I sing a little pop and I sing a little folk, and it all goes together," he said in 1970. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1966. The following year he was the first person to receive the entertainer of the year award from the Country Music Association. The reference book "Top Country Singles 1944-1993,"' by Joel Whitburn, ranked Arnold the No. 1 country singer in terms of overall success on the Billboard country charts. It lists his first No. 1 hit as "It's a Sin," 1947, and for the following year ranks his "Bouquet of Roses" as the biggest hit of the entire year. Other hits included "Cattle Call," "The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me," "Anytime," "Bouquet of Roses," "What's He Doing in My World?" "I Want to Go With You," "Somebody Like Me," "Lonely Again" and "Turn the World Around." Most of his hits were done in association with famed guitarist Chet Atkins, the producer on most of the recording sessions. The late Dinah Shore once described his voice as like "warm butter and syrup being poured over wonderful buttermilk pancakes." Reflecting on his career, he said he never copied anyone. "I really had an idea about how I wanted to sing from the very beginning," he said. He revitalized his career in the 1960s by adding strings, a controversial move for a country artist back then. "I got to thinking, if I just took the same kind of songs I'd been singing and added violins to them, I'd have a new sound. They cussed me, but the disc jockeys grabbed it. ... The artists began to say, 'Aww, he's left us.' Then within a year, they were doing it!" Arnold was born May 15, 1918, on a farm near Henderson, Tenn., the son of a sharecropper. He sang on radio stations in Jackson, Tenn., Memphis, Tenn., and St. Louis before becoming nationally known. Early in his career, his manager was Col. Tom Parker, who later became Elvis Presley's manager. His image was always that of a modest, clean-cut country boy. "You cannot satisfy all the people," he once said. "They have an image of me. Some people think I'm Billy Graham's half brother, but I'm not. I want people to get this hero thing off their mind and just let me be me." Survivors include a son and daughter. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 May 2008 09:14:58 -0700 From: "Stacked Crooked" Subject: Re: More Songs about Murder and Carjacking huhn, quail's original post didn't appear in the digest -- only some responses. anyways: ~ "Rags To Riches", from *Goodfellas* ~ pretty much anything from morricone's *Once Upon A Time In America* score and/or pretty much anything from carter burwell's scores for *Miller's Crossing* and *Fargo* ~ "Danny Boy", from *Miller's Crossing* ~ "Liar Liar", from *Married To The Mob* speaking of alabama 3, i only just several months ago finally got around to checking into their catalog. they may be a one-hit-wonder of sorts, but through no fault of their own. rather a great band! as long as we're in a list-making frame of mind (not that we're ever not), the new adem album, *Takes*, besides being really great (duh, released in 2008 = "really great"), uses only nine combined letters for the artist's and album's titles. any albums with fewer than that?

I already made a Gypsy Punk mix, a few hip hop mixes, a Latin music mix, and an outlaw country mix. I've been working on a "Crime Movie" mix, basically a bunch of songs that were made famous in crime movies or TV shows, and are thereby linked in popular imagination to cops and robbers and murder and mayhem. My list so far: Godfather's Waltz, Nino Rota, The Godfather Woke Up This Morning, A3, The Sopranos Across 110th Street, Bobby Womack, Jackie Brown Way Down In the Hole 1, The Blind Boys of Alabama, The Wire Working In A Coalmine, Lee Dorsey, Casino New Jack Hustler, Ice T.

Which is to say, "idiotic" should precede "title." I will say, though, that Fiona's image didn't help matters: some people could give an album a title like that and everyone would know (or think) that it's a joke.

I don't know this song - but even assuming that, freakishly, the imbecile stumbled upon a halfway decent song and performed it reasonably well (thrice! or is it his same vocal track w/the female vocal just swapped out each time?), surely as part of our time machine thingy we could just arrange to have someone else do it?
