Celtic_Bill Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Great singing voice, and a seemingly humble guy. My folks used to play his records (anybody remember those?) when I was a kid, I can still hear "Make The World Go Away" while banging on the hardwood floor with my Tonka trucks..........

Eddy Arnold was one of the first entertainers I could name because of hearing my parents play his records. In the last year or two I got my father an Eddy Arnold box set with music from his earlier days. Here is a sample of Eddy Arnold performing on the radio.Here is some video content.

ScottM Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 My daughter (13) told me to shut up when I was (loudly) singing Make the World Go Away at breakfast this morning. I do need to add some Eddy to my collection. Scott M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP from a fitty-cent bin awhile back. I'll have to play it in his honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mattson Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Got to hear a whole lot of him (and see his shows on the BW tv) growing up. My Mom's favorite singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had this sort of generic-sounding voice and a generic-looking middle-aged face and build, but not really. And I've seldom heard pitch control like his--right up there with Mel Torme and Tony Bennett on a good night. He also had a deceptively wide range.He didn't cheat or slide into, or miss one note on that album. Pitch perfect all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with Pro Tools & pitchshifters,you can make almost anyone sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
