Go Rest High, Daryl Singletary

When you peruse the extremely short list of country singers who stayed pure and true, Daryle Singletary's name has to be high on that list. Mr. Singletary passed away this morning at the way too young age of 46. He'll definitely be missed. Despite only having a few actual big-time charting hits (though they were memorable ones), he made enough of an impression on his traditional country loving fans to continue successfully touring through the present year. And he stayed country as grits and greens to the very end.

I'm uncomfortable with some sites using a star's passing for cheap clicks, but we are a not-for-profit enterprise here.... I just wanted you to see what Daryle meant to a lot of folks, and hear how good he still was, below, singing one of his signature hits "Amen Kind of Love."

Just got word that Daryle Singletary has passed away.
Rest in peace Buddy, you sang country like country should be sung.

"There are still people out there who want to hear traditional country music. I’ve been fortunate to be able to always keep it real and not have to compromise. I can’t ask for nothin’ better, I don’t guess.” - @DaryleSing

Thank you for never compromisinghttps://t.co/TXZbGwfuEl
