The Louvin Brothers, Charlie and Ira singing "When I Stop Dreaming" was my favorite. Rest in Peace Charlie.

Rick anyone that ever met charlie knows how big his heart was he was the real deal,he was a true entertainer to the very end.he sang see the big man cry on Mart Stuart show i think in C chord the very same chord on the recording many years ago,Charlie would never do any Louvin songs in another chord or at least I know he was against it,I told him I can hit I dont believe you met my baby in C Charlie said Bill a lot of guys can hit it in C,"that takes the fire out of that song". he Loved his big brother a lot it saddens me to see the derogatory remarks about IRA and his drinking which is what ended up breaking them up,I heard many stories about charlie having to bail him out in little towns because of back support:)...But good or bad IRA was one of a kind singer!, best tenor I think I ever heard:).
RIP Charlie we miss you!!:)
