God Bless You, Porter Wagoner
Posted by Larry Karnowski at October 29, 2007 9:30 AMPorter Wagoner has died at age 80, during a remarkable comeback very late in his career. I just recently got one of his many greatest hits CDs, and I was really enjoying it. From what I've recently read and saw last year at the Country Music Hall of Fame, he had one of the biggest careers you could have in Country music. I'm sorry I didn't get to know his work better before he passed on.
God bless you, Mr. Wagoner, keep on the sunny side...
Man, what a life! To have a ride like Porter's, one has to be truly blessed.
And thanks again to Jack White, you nutcase, for making sure that a whole new generation of folks got to meet Porter Wagoner before he stepped offstage!
