Veteran Grand Ole Opry favorite Charlie Louvin lost his battle with pancreatic cancer early Wednesday morning, January 26, 2011. He was 83 and died at his home in Bell Buckle, Tennessee, according to Nashville radio reports.
In 1955, the Louvin Brothers’ When I Stop Dreaming became their first song to enter the Top 10 on the country charts. That same year, the brothers performed at the Grand Ole Opry for their first time and were also invited to tour with Elvis Presley as the King’s opening act. Although the Louvin Brothers parted ways in 1963, their music has lived on to this day with hits such as Knoxville Girl and I Don’t Believe You’ve Met My Baby.
