This is Ricky and his wife, Sharon White. Her family is from Texas and have performed for many years as the group known as, "The Whites". Her father, Buck still appears on the Grand Ole Opry. If you've seen the movie, Brother Where Art Thou, you will remember this scene when her family sings, Keep On the Sunny Side

Ricky's brother Garold Skaggs and his wife, Janie outside the Hall of Fame in Nashville.

And by this was Ricky's first of many appearances on the Grand Ole Opry with host Lster Flatts. I think he is about six years old in this video ... Little Ricky Skaggs sings 'Ruby'
This is a bit later in another appearance on the Opry. Since this is listed as in 1961, Ricky was eitther 6 or 7 at the time dependeing on what time of year.

Ricky Skaggs was likely the one that got me into country music. I was in the Marines in 1982 and my roommate played that "Highways and Heartaches" album over and over again.

Ricky had quite a run during the early 1980s and as you point out, he's been actively performing his entire life. He definitely is long overdue for the Country Music HOF.

Read how George Strait held back his release of “Heartbroke” so Ricky Scaggs could have a go with it first. Country has many with honor and a sense of respect.

He supported Trump and the pro-life movement and loves God - are sure they aren't indicting him instead of inducting him?

Sorry - CMA and others have gone over the edge and I coiuldn't help myself...

Congrats Ricky Skaggs!

Ricky Skaggs should have been in a long time ago.
He is certainly worthy.
