NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Reuters) - Eddy Arnold, country music's "Tennessee Plowboy" whose rendition of "Make the World Go Away" was an international hit in the 1960s, died on Thursday at age 89 in Nashville after a lengthy illness.

His death was announced by his biographer, Don Cusi.

Rising from a poverty-stricken childhood in Henderson, Tennessee, Arnold connected with the Pee Wee King Band as a singer and went on to a career in which he was named to the Country Music Hall of Fame and received the County Music Association's first entertainer of the year award.

Yeah that's the one I remember him for Dude.

If you had asked me yesterday I would have told you he was already dead. I didn't realize he was still living.
