He was inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996.
He was a great singer, one of the last remaining connections to the great Hank Williams. They were friends and after Hank died Ray tried to sound like him. Then 10 years later that god-awful Nashville Sound ruined country music. Ray could sing it with the best of them, but I am a honky tonk fan.
RIP Ray Price, who was also a WW2 veteran.
Seriously? After all these years and they only just got around to it? That’s disgraceful.
