There is certainly a decided difference/decline in Eddie’s voice as he got older, but I still love the duet with Rimes. While his voice had aged, I was still impressed with his ability to sing the song and that he was asked to do so. I think that song was from ’96.

I’ve not heard this single yet, and I’m not sure I really want to since I remember Eddy well from his halcyon days of the 1960s (and have most of his 40s & 50s recordings. His voice had deteriorated considerably by the time of 1999′s duet with Ms Rimes and, as with Sinatra, I prefer to remember him the way he sounded at his peak

While many, like myself, often derided Eddy’s choice of material from 1968) onward (which was rather bland easy listening music), his voice remained in peak form until about 1985 by which time he was in his mid 70s.

There are few vocalists, country or otherwise whose voices could compare with Eddy Arnold and known who sang with such ease

A toast to Eddy Arnold.

Does any one know where I can find the song. The link on the review doesn’t work on my computer and I really want to hear it.

Yes, it’s sad that Eddie Arnold is gone. Not being from his time, he didn’t come onto my radar until LeAnn Rhime’s duet with him, “Cattle Call.” I thought it was a sweet duet and it made me look into him a little more. I saw parts of an interview with Bill Cote that GAC has been running since his death and there’s no doubt that he was a classy gentleman.

It’s sad to see him go, he was one of my favorites. There’s been so many legends passing on lately, it’s a shame. I cried the day Porter Wagoner passed away, and I had to cry again when Eddy Arnold followed.
