Eddy Arnold, R. I. P.

Biographer: Country superstar Eddy Arnold dies at 89: "NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Eddy Arnold, whose mellow baritone on songs like 'Make the World Go Away' made him one of the most successful country singers in history, died Thursday morning, days short of his 90th birthday.

Arnold died at a care facility near Nashville, said Don Cusic, a professor at Belmont University and author of the biography 'Eddy Arnold: I'll Hold You in My Heart.' His wife of 66 years, Sally, had died in March, and in the same month, Arnold fell outside his home, injuring his hip.

Arnold's vocals on songs like the 1965 'Make the World Go Away,' one of his many No. 1 country hits and a top 10 hit on the pop charts, made him one of the most successful country singers in history."
