I learned how to sing by listening to Old Country way up in Balsam Creek Ontario. The songs are etched in my mind. Old Country makes a person feel good about themselves. It was time when we didn't put a lock on the door

Eddy was 55 when this was filmed. He was at the "peak" of his second career. And in my humble opinion in the period from 1965 through 1980 his voice was the richest and fullest sounding of his entire performing career. May you rest in peace Eddy. You will NEVER be replaced.

Eddy was my mom's favorite also. I can imagine the buzz goin' on up in Heaven a few weeks back: "Hey, Eddy's on his way up...!"

Lynn Anderson is 60 now, so she would have been 26-27 here ..... total babe!!!!! Eddy was probably late 40s, early 50s here .... old enough to be Lynn's father. You can tell he enjoyed this gorgeous lady flirting with him.

These are 2 of my favorites! Thank you for making these available treasures to behold. I never met Eddy Arnold, but he always seemed like a family relative. His music always made a stranger feel right at home. And as for Lynn Anderson, my crush on her is still going strong. Thanks for the great music.

I never knew this but I'm not surprised. Eddy was a humble, kind and unassuming man. Typical of him to find so much happiness in Marty's induction into the Hall of Fame. Marty was an immense talent and a good man. He was a particular favorite of my Mom's along with Eddy. Mom and I were lucky enough to see Marty live in concert twice a lot of years ago.

I was told by someone who was at the CMA awards in 1982, that Eddy Arnold shed tears of happiness as he inducted Marty Robbins into the Hall of Fame. They were very close and Eddy had a huge influence on Marty.

One of God's Pleasures for the human race! Eddy
