It has been a heartbreaking year for the country music world.
It has been a heartbreaking year for the country music world as the list of legendary performers and key contributors who have died seems to grow each week.Tragically, this past week was no different after news broke that Nashville hitmaker Joe Scaife, a man credited with helping put together albums that sold more than 80 million copies, has died.
Cason’s career in music began in the 1960s when he helped found The Casuals, known as Nashville’s first rock band. He then pursued a solo career and went on to sing backup vocals for the likes of Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers, John Denver and Roy Orbison, according to Taste of Country. “Today was a devastating day for the Strait camp,” another person wrote. “Our hearts are hurting. Rest in Peace Gene Elders. Rest in Peace Erv Woolsey. We will miss you both.”George Strait revealed in may that a member of his operation had died for the third time this year.
“Wayland Holyfield — who died May 6 — wrote sons of unflagging devotion, including the Don Williams hit “You’re My Best Friend” and Anne Murray’s “Could I Have this Dance,”. “Holyfield was devoted to his wife, to the craft of songwriting, and to advocating for the rights of his peers.”James won a pair of Grammys in 1983 for his “Always on My Mind,” which was performed by Willie Nelson. He also wrote the hits, “Hooked on a Feeling,” and “Suspicious Minds.
“A cardiac event on the Outlaw Country Cruise is about right… & that’s just how he did it, Mojo has left the building,” they added. “Since Elvis is everywhere, we know he was waiting for him in the alley out back. Heaven help us all.”His big break came in 1987 with his hit novelty song “Elvis is Everywhere,” that became a regular on MTV.
Smith was named ASACP Country Artist of the Year in 1979 and won the CCMA Living Legend Award in 2001.“Please join the Academy in mourning the passing of Country star Margo Smith,” it said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter. “Nominated for ACM Most Promising Female Vocalist in 1976, she had two #1 hits in the 1970s: “Don’t Break the Heart That Loves You” and “It Only Hurts for a Little While.” Boasting a show-stopping talent for yodeling, she was known as “The Tennessee Yodeler.
“He loved the idea of being honored for his music,” Shepard told WWL, “being honored for what he loved to do, pure as his heart.”She was 85. No cause of death was given.
