I WALK ALONE by EDDY ARNOLD

[@Zero-gp5im]

In honor of my dad! He loves his wife the way one should. He just sang a few verses to me over the phone today. Love you, dad!

[@frankchilds9848]

I dig the early Eddy Arnold, thanks for sharing this gem 💎

[@CowboyOld]

Thanks for the song. This is on of my favorite Eddy Arnold recordings. Reminds me of WWII when so many "walked alone" waiting for the return of their loved one. Some of them, like my brother, didn't return. I think of him and his girl friend when I hear this song. I hope she has had a good life. CowboyOld

[@susique333]

Im 51 and I grew up singing to these songs when I was a child...man they sure could sing back in those days!

[@HowardWiggins3]

This is the first time I have ever heard this song. I love to hear Little Roy Wiggins on the steel guitar.

[@MoJoPiano]

Always loved Eddy. His "Make The World Go Away" is still one of my alltime favorite songs. Great post here! Mike

[@vespertinne]

Back when people had manners... and men were gentlemen. :-) Before my time, but I love this music.

[@rgkras1]

One of our best country singers. The sound takes me back to the good old times, before the stereo-hysteri.

[@boblord7735]

by god these songs are tearing the tears from the eyes.

[@jeweldotson3891]

Eddy Arnold the original Mr. Smooth of country, One of the top 5 voices ever,

[@brucepreece1700]

Eddy Arnold is the best singer ever of any age and any genre

[@wesleywigington]

Thought I heard all the classic gems but today I found this

[@bc78260]

It would be nice if we had some artist with talent like this today. Artist of this generation sure new how to reach the people. RIP Eddy Armold. Gone but not forgotten.

[@JohnBullard036]

As a kid while building model airplanes I'd have a country station out of Chicago WJJD playing these wonderful songs

[@bobharris7046]

John Bullard Your comment about building model airplanes and listening to WJJD Chicago brought back memories. During the '30's and '40's I would listen to WJJD; also WLW Cincinnati; Renfro Valley Barndance; WWVA Barndance, W. Virginia. Do you remember XERA from Villa Acuna, Mexico with 100,000 watts? I too built airplanes from the mid '30's to mid ' '40's, then I went into the Army Air Corp in '47. I lived 70 mi from Nashville so I got WSM Grand Ole Opry. Those were some good days. Take care.

[@CowboyOld]

This song reminds me of the war years-1942-1945. Eddy Arnold made some great records back in the 40s with Little Roy Wiggins playing the stright ahead country music guitar.

[@NaomiWadsworth]

I'll share this every chance I get. Eddy is a national treasure.

[@Starrman69]

He certainly had a lot of class. Great clear voice, a classic performer.

[@mikewoollett]

Eddy had such a great voice.....!

[@MarkMaysey]

What a wonderful wonderful song and voice. Loved Eddie's music. A very special thank you to NaomiWadsworth for sharing with me. Mark

[@NaomiWadsworth]

Hi Rene, those are great too. It's always the oldies that I return to. Naomi

[@carldixon2872]

Amen! One of my dearest friends on earth was LRW. Never accepted by the "western swing" and Nashville steel players; but he helped EA to rise to fame while playing on ALL but two of Eddy's hits: "It's a Sin" and "To My Sorrow" for 25 years! His simple style and perfect embellishment of Eddy is Unprecedented in music IMHO. He died a pauper. His family had not a dime to even place a grave marker on his grave. Thankfully someone later did it. Eddy would not contribute a dime! I miss him.

[@zaaritha]

Since I heard "Molly"--I have liked him and his songs!

[@AlanPaladin]

I totally agree. I did not know about a few morons talking smack about someone I have always loved & admired. Rest In Peace Eddy, you will not be forgotten.

[@anniezagAnnie0854]

Great music. Nice sound. Thank you. Thank you Naomi for sharing this beautiful song.

[@Koesl]

It is a very nice music - thanks for your advice! Greetings from Germany

[@MySpace662]

Great country music! it's timeless.

[@MarkMaysey]

Wonderful post Naomi, this guy was not only a very talented writer, but he had a very smooth and lovely voice. He wrote a string of hits. Thank you for sharing this!!! Mark

[@puckett456]

NAOMI, YOU CHOOSE THE BEST OF SINGERS TO POST. EDDY ARNOLD WAS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME. THANKSFOR SHARING THIS PRICELESS VIDEO. GOD BLESS, MARGIE

Richard Edward Arnold (May 15, 1918 - May 8, 2008), known professionally as Eddy Arnold, was an American country music singer who performed for six decades. He created the Nashville sound in the late 1950s, and had 147 songs on the Billboard Magazine music charts, second only to George Jones. LYRICS: I Walk Alone I walk alone where once we wandered It seems so strange, since you are gone 'Til you return, I'll stay the same, dear I'll still be true and walk alone. By stars above, I swear to love you With all the love I've ever known While we're apart, you'll always own me When teardrops start, I walk alone [INTERLUDE] This lonely night was made to ponder The golden hours that we once knew No matter where you are out yonder I walk alone and think of you. The flame of love is brightly burning You know that I'm your very own Each night I pray for your returning But while you're gone, I walk alone Songwriters: Herbert W. Wilson I Walk Alone lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc Artist: Eddy Arnold Genre: Country

[@Thomas05091942]

My mom's favorite country singer! :)

[@NaomiWadsworth]

In my favs. Can't go long without hearing it. A hundred stars. * Naomi

[@lotuscassidy]

When I played music out I did a couple of his songs, always enjoyed his music, tks, Lotus

[@webbjr37]

Beautiful version of this song,probally the first also, Marty Robbins does this one very well cant decide which I preferr both deserve 5 stars

[@NaomiWadsworth]

You are most welcome, Annie. This song is so much a part of my childhood, I can't hear it without having a pang of sadness for the days gone by. Naomi

[@MoJoPiano]

HELLO NAOMI! Thanks for a great share! Enjoyed it so much; it had been a long time since I heard or thought about this one. My Mom dearly loves Eddy Arnold and I'll be sure to share with her. Your Friend, Mike

[@DanielProfitt]

This is true love by the great eddie arnold.

[@ReneGuylline]

Great Naomi ! Thanks for the share ! The ones I love the most are "Cool Water" & "Crying in the Chapel".... but they're all super ! Rene.

[@kamalr2151]

Old shure is gold...thanks...

[@bobharris7046]

The shortest running time is usually the original. Look for 2:45 sec, Vol 1. It"s on here, just added in Nov 2014. See the difference for yourself.

[@rgkras1]

Have only listened to Marty Robbins Version for many years, but i think Arnold's Version is more correct to the country-(cowboy)-life back some years. (Reminds of old Roy Rogers Songs)

[@PhilFeedback]

Rest in Peace Eddy. You will be missed!!!!

[@maisonneuve]

i love eddy!

[@bobharris7046]

+Joe Blow-You are correct; the original came out July 9, '45, with "Did you see my daddy over there", "I walk alone", "Many tears ago", "You must walk the line". Session #1 was Dec 4, '44, with his first release ever, from that session, "Mommy please stay home with me". I was 14 in '44. Eddy was my idol. "Did you see my daddy over there" was my favorite at the time; I found it on U-TUBE. His style singing changed the 1st. part of 1950, when he let go the steel guitar and fiddle. Hope this helps. 12/15

[@nasrunpurba5589]

EDDY ARNOLD,, THE MEMORIS, 1963. JKT JAN 20 2015

[@zaaritha]

He was great!

[@NaomiWadsworth]

Yes, Rafael. A voice for the ages. Naomi

[@HowardWiggins3]

Unmissable sound of Little Roy Wiggins on the the steel guitar.

[@DreamCather147]

Class all the way....

[@zaaritha]

This is really good!

[@NaomiWadsworth]

Thanks so much for commenting. And thanks to Alan for posting. Naomi

[@bobharris7046]

This song came out in 1945. It also came out in Dec 1948. This song you hear here is not the original. Eddie did a lot of his original hits later for stereo effects; and as he once said "for the money", but they nevet did to well. Reason; after you' ve sung a song a few hundred times, you don't sing it with meaning as you did when you first recorded it. The tempo is slower ; and the song is "drawn"out". Tip! When you look for the original song, find the shortest running time , it will have a faster tempo. KZbin has added a bunch of songs and I find most of them are the original. A remake is never good as original. It's only original once.

[@56Rickster]

+Bob Harris ..well said Bob, but sometimes it is hard to have "The Original" because of being rare and hard to find. It is kind of like eating warmed over oat meal, - but it is still good :)

[@bobharris7046]

+56Rickster You are correct about finding the original. You have to search for it. U-TUBE released a bunch of songs Nov 2014 on Eddy. They were all originals. I have Eddys; songs from the;40's;s to early ;50's,. Never cared for him after '53. When you look for the original, look for the shortest run time. This song is 3:15 min, original is 2:46min. Check out the difference. Thanks for the feedback. 12/15

[@AlanPaladin]

+ Bob Harris - Interesting. It's been more than 30 years since I looked through several boxes of old 78's my dad left me. He had quite a few of Eddy's. I remember some of them. Think I'll look through them again. Thanks for visiting and sharing your comments on many of my videos. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us. Take Care, & Peace :)

[@bobharris7046]

AlanPaladin -When you check out your 78rpm records for Eddy Arnolds Molly Darling, the number is RCA 202489B, recorded Aug '47. RCA Victor Studios, New York.

[@glipzik]

AvidOldiesCollector, They are not the same song. I Walk Alone/Did You See My Daddy Over There was recorded in 1945. I believe it was his 3rd or 4th record release that year. You used to be able to get that information on LP Discography but they have changed their format and no longer list single record releases. So I can't tell you the record number. However you can now get past issues of Billboard online. Look up record reviews from around October 1945.

[@fastdrive55]

Good bye Eddie...

[@Evangelander]

Thanks to naomi for sending me here. Great song!! Thanks for sharing.

[@bobharris7046]

This is not the original. It was recorded July 19, 1945, This one was recorded Dec '48.

[@patrickgibson9855]

what's not to like.

[@irphil47]

I used to walk alone, then I took an arrow to the knee

[@doylesdolly]

I think Marty Robbins does a better job, but that is only my opinion. Everyone has there own favourite.

[@xCRiiSPYx]

whats that shit?!
