Subject: Cry Like a Baby - Reggie Young Has Passed
Written By: LyricBoy on 01/19/19 at 7:35 am
Reggie Young's name may not be instantly familiar to the masses, but his guitar work has been heard by nearly everyone with a set of ears: The sultry opening of Dusty Springfield’s “Son of a Preacher Man,” the signature electric sitar of the Box Tops' "Cry Like a Baby," the dramatic swells on Elvis Presley’s "Suspicious Minds" and "In the Ghetto,” and literally hundreds of other hits and classics.
The 82-year-old Young died Thursday night at his home outside Nashville, following an illustrious seven-decade career. :\'(

Amongst the countless hit records for which he provided the guitar work was "Hooked on a Feeling" (oog a chakah) and "Somebody Done another Wrong Song", backing "BJ" Thomas. He also did the intro to Dobie Gray's "Drift Away" 8)
Additionally he played on Willie Nelson's "Always on My Mind", and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline". Reggie was the real deal.
He even did backup work for Sine-aid O'Connor. :-X
