Made the World Go Away

Here Comes Heaven
Eddy Arnold, a country music performer who drifted with the wind in a shameless attempt to sell records, has died at the age of 89. Although he was known as the Tennessee Plowboy, Arnold proved you didn’t need to wear a 10-gallon hat and rhinestones to write horribly depressing songs about lost loves, drinking and fishing, selling 85 million records in a seven-decade career. Taken together, his songs spent more time – including more time in the top position – than those of any other singer in country music history. When rock ‘n roll unseated country music, Arnold became a cabaret-style singer, then later drifted into the pop charts with Make the World Go, competing with the Beatles and Rolling Stones.
