Sad. He was one of the first country music singers whose songs I came to know as a teen. RIP, Mr. Husky

I grew up listening to him and all the others of that time. I love Wings of a Dove. It was also one of my dad’s favorites. RIP and prayers for his family and friends.

Yes, Ferlin, pioneering if in nothing else, then in his first name. Elvis had to come next! Then Hasil (Adkins, you fool!)
