Ray Price is one of the greatest singers that ever lived. He made smooth and silky effortless. Ray has kept me awake on more than one long drive while I sang along as best I could.
I was in Vietnam with a driver who was listening to some junk on a CD. I pulled a CD of Ray out of my folio, days before mpg and all that, and told him to slide that in the stereo. Ray boomed out with “Heartaches by the Number” and the guys face burst into a wide smile. “American cowboy music!” He listened and tried his best to sing along. I like to think that for a long time after that a hire car made the rounds in Siagon with Ray belting out great tunes.
He is an outstanding entertainer of many, many decades and by all accounts a fine man.
