The Big" C "took hold as John Wayne said of his own life. Cancer may have been evident in Sonny's life earlier than we thought.

@3240590 Sonny will be 82 in May, what the hell are you talking about.

Whatever happened to Sonny? He just flat disappeared at the height of his fame.

@Mufaso1000 Sonny retired in 1983,was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and lives in Nashville.

Both one of the greatest country singers and one of the greatest guitar pickers to ever live. Found out one thing he did to make his guitar sound even better. This was told me as the truth. Right before a recording session, he'd put on a new set of Black Diamond silver plated strings. Don't know if the still make them or not; haven't seen a set in years. They sounded great new,but were soft and would wear out very quickly. His "secret" was told me by someone who said he knew him well.

Another #1 hit on the Country & Western charts by The Southern Gentleman. It was also the 135th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. And it was neck & neck between Sonny James and Buck Owens for dominance on the Country Music scene.

He has something wrong with his throat and is unable to sing anymore. He kept writing but hasn't been singing in years. I live 8 miles out of Hackleburg, AL (his hometown) He comes for the Neighborday Festival every other year and signs autographs. He's looking old, makes me feel that much older when I see how old my teen idols ae getting.

I've been listening to this song for 48 years. Isn't it amazing how one man with superb vocal talent playing a guitar lightening fast, and a small group of harmony singers, a bass and and an organ can make a song sound so good? This is the good stuff. Thanks

@mrshorty1962 My dad passed 2 years ago and my uncle passed last year. I do have this song on the original album. I wish they would release this song on cd. It was a hit for Sonny. My uncle told me that Sonny would refuse to play any venue that sold alcohol. Sonny is a born again Christian. I remember seeing him and Don Gibson in concert here in our hometown of Peoria, Illinois at the Shrine Mosque. My uncle got to play for both Sonny and Don Gibson that night. It was a high in his career.

I wish someone would post a song called "Sugar Lump". That was one of my dad;s favorite Sonny James songs. My uncle ; dad's youngest brother played bass for Sonny James in the late 70's early 80's.
