As a youngster, I was forced to license to his eight-tracks over and over on most all road trips. While I didn't particularly care for it then, I've come to like appreciate it. Can't help humming along when I hear some of his songs.
Whether you like his music or not, there's no denying that he was a first-class guy. God bless him and his family.

Eddy made the world go away. My grand father loved his music.
Rest in peace Eddy. Sing a tune to my Grandpa, okay?

Blasted hip fracture...for seasoned citizens so immobilized, it often means a rapid cascade of medical problems that leads to death within weeks. The world has lost a man who still had a lot to give. Rats.

Many times over the years I’ve thought “Make the World Go Away”.

Eddy Arnold bought a bunch of brushy land south of Nashville back when he first started making money in his singing career. His fellow country music singers made fun of him for buying worthless "swampland." That worthless land became some of the most valuable land in the area and made Eddy Arnold very rich. That land now is part of Brentwood, one of the wealthiest suburbs of Nashville.
Rest in peace, Eddy Arnold. You and your wonderful voice will always be remembered.

Never forced, but have listened to his stuff for years and from time to time I get a request for his work. He’s on my western party playlist 3 or 4 times.

If there is an afterlife, will Eddy Arnold still be confused with Eddie Albert in heaven?
