Eddy Arnold: Cattle Call

The great Eddy Arnold, by some accounts the most successful country musician of all time, has died. Here is my favorite of his many lovely songs, Cattle Call, first recorded in 1945.

This video is from a 1996 television performance, when Arnold was 78 years old. Courtesy of CutterCovina, an excellent channel with a wonderfully eclectic mix of music videos.

UPDATE: Somebody named Jim Owens took the 1996 video. Thanks a lot, Jim. I replaced it with one from the 50s.
