Subject: Country singer Ferlin Husky dies aged 85
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/20/11 at 4:07 am
Country music pioneer and actor Ferlin Husky, best known for hits including Gone, has died aged 85.
The singer-songwriter, who was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame last year, died at his daughter's home in Westmoreland, Tennessee.
The ballad Gone was number one in the US country charts for 10 weeks and reached number four in the pop charts.
He starred in the films Country Music Holiday with Zsa Zsa Gabor and The Las Vegas Hillbillys with Jayne Mansfield.
Husky, who died on Thursday, had a history of heart problems and was recently treated for congestive heart failure.
His other hits included his version of the gospel song Wings of a Dove, which topped the country chart and was also a mainstream success, as well as A Fallen Star and The Waltz You Saved For Me.
At the peak of his career in the 1950s and 1960s, he was considered one of the top country music performers.
Fellow country star Merle Haggard once said there were "a lot of years when nobody in the business could follow Ferlin Husky".
"He was the big live act of the day - a great entertainer," Haggard said.

Again, they came in three: Smiley Culture, Nate Dogg and now Ferlin Husky. :(
I liked his version of "Wings of a Dove", but that's about where my knowledge of Husky ends.
