Dang, we are losing icons so quickly.
And there are NO replacements.
RIP Ray!
And prayers for the family.
...For the Good Times...grew up with it on WHDH...
RIP ... memories of family surrounding a vacuum tube radio are recalled and a particular time when I was 14 and stranded in the middle of nowhere.
RIP
Another great one gone.
RIP Mr. Price.
Price was among the man talents I grew up listening to. My parents were big fans. RIP.
I read yesterday he was dead only to be updated that he was alive. Is he really dead this time around??
A great talent in country and pop music.
Loved him and his music.
God rest his soul and give comfort to his family.
Ray sings “City Lights” live on Play It Again Nashville in 1985.

...just think..a penny for every Ray Price tune to play on the radio in tractor rigs going across country over the years....*smiles*.....we lose another
"For The Good Times"
Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad, we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
Lay your head, upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me, one more time, for the good times
I'll get along, you'll find another, and I'll be here
If you should find, you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever
There’ll be time enough for sadness, when you leave me
Lay your head, upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me, one more time, for the good times
"You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me"
I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
And I guess you could say, it's all because of you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
You'd be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, there have been times when the times were so hard
But somehow, some way I'd made it through
And for every moment I've spent hurting
There's been moments spent loving you
If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
You'd be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
"Danny Boy"
Oh, Danny Boy
The pipes, the pipes are callin’
From Glen to Glen
And down the mountain side
The summer's gone
And all the roses fallin’
It's you, it's you
Must go and I must bide
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy
The pipes are callin’
From Glen to Glen
And even down the mountain side
The summer's gone
And all the roses fallin’
It's you, it's you
Must go and I, I must bide
Well come on back
When summer's in the meadow
When the valleys hushed
And even white with snow
Hey, I'll be there in sunshine
Or in shadows
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy
I love you so
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy
The pipes are callin’
From Glen to Glen
And even down the mountain side
The summer's gone
And all the roses fallin’
It's you, it's you
Must go and I must bide
Well come on back
When summer's in the meadow
When that valley's hushed
And even white with snow
Hey, I'll be there in sunshine
Or in shadows
Hey, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy
I love you so
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy
I love you so
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy
I love you so
Bye Ray, see you down the pike—
Rest in peace.
