DALLAS -- Good friends like Willie Nelson and Merle haggard got more credit for their contrary ways and trend-setting ideas, but it was Ray Price who set the precedent for change in country music more than a decade earlier.

Price passed away Monday at his Texas home, having long outlasted most of his country music contemporaries and the prognosis doctors gave him when they discovered his pancreatic cancer in 2011. He was 87.

The way the Country Music Hall of Fame member fought cancer was an apt metaphor for the way he lived his life, always fiercely charting a path few others might have the fortitude to follow.

Along the way he changed the sound of country music, collaborated with and inspired the genre's biggest stars and remained relevant for more than half a century.

Back in the 70s I had all his vinyl and still listen from time to time on You Tube. As with many 'For the Good Times' written by Kris Kristofferson was my fav, but there were so many others. RIP

Take care,
Pat

I am embarrassed to say that I thought he was dead. May he RIP; I too loved this song, Pat.
