EDDY ARNOLD LAID TO REST
LATEST: Music legend EDDY ARNOLD was remembered as a man who changed country music when he was laid to rest at a funeral service at Nashville, Tennessee's Ryman Auditorium on Wednesday (14May08).
The 'Tennessee Plowboy' died on 8 May (08) at the age of 89, and was mourned in style before a private family burial.
The Make The World Go Away singer's body brought to the Ryman in a procession of vehicles from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, where his body lay in state for fans and friends to pay their respects.
Vince Gill sang two songs in the service and called Arnold, "the most successful man in country music history, and he taught us how to be kind and how to be a gentleman."
The Jordanaires and Bill and Jeanine Walker also performed at the emotional farewell.
