| EDDY ARNOLD 1918–2008 |
Country Music legend Eddy Arnold passed away on the morning of May 8 at an assisted living center near Nashville. He was 89 years old (he would have turned 90 on May 15). Known as "The Tennessee Plowboy," he scored a huge number of country and pop hits, including "Make The World Go Away," "I Want To Go With You" and "You Don't Know Me," among others. Arnold had 28 number one hits on the Billboard Country Singles chart, and 92 Top 10 hits. In 1948, only one record not by Arnold topped the country chart – the rest of the year, Eddy dominated the number one slot. He released his hundredth album, After All This Time, in 2005. Arnold's wife of 66 years, Sally Gayhart Arnold, passed away in March. He is survived by their children, Richard Edward Jr. and Jo Ann Pollard. He had two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Here are some excerpts of a recent interview with Mr. Arnold:

"Mama's" Day
Sun 5/11 - Mon 5/12
With all due respect to "Mothers" everywhere, here in The Roadhouse, we've always
called 'em "mamas." Trust us - it’s purely out of love! We'll prove it all day with songs
dedicated to her. Whether we're saving some "roses" for her or begging her not to let
her babies "grow up to be cowboys," she'll be sure to smile. Plus, Wade Jessen will
share some extra gems dedicated to the most important ladies in our lives on a
special edition of Rear View: The History of Country Music.
