The ceremony, which lasted about 40 minutes, was based on a narrative of Sidney's life. I knew most of these stories because Tigger has told me about many of his scrapes and adventures.

Eddy Arnold's world (Deseret Morning News)

Sat, 10 May 2008 07:40:43 GMT

Before the deluge of country music "hat acts" came on the scene, there was a brand of country crooner who brought a touch of class and sophistication to the genre. They sang what was called "countrypolitan" music — a blend of downhome caterwauling and uptown crooning. Like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra on the pop charts, these country cousins sang love songs with sweet conviction and style. Jim Reeves...

Fri, 09 May 2008 05:48:10 GMT

Mr. Arnold was a harbinger of the lush, orchestral Nashville Sound, made popular by the likes of Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline in the late 1950s and '60s.

He was managed by Col Tom Parker before Elvis. His typified the kind of country music I enjoyed. Great singers of his style, such as Ricky Van Shelton are no longer promoted in Nashville in lieu of a more HICK, nasal, sound. It's a shame. He, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline and Ray Price were in a class all their own. None of them had to resort to vocal calisthenics or sounding like their feet were...
