Do you guys know who Floyd Cramer is?
He was a great pianist with a style all his own. He played for Patsy Cline on "Crazy". He had a big hit with "Last Date" in 1960. It reached #2 ...runner-up to Elvis Presley's, "Are You Lonesome Tonight."
Mr. Cramer also appeared on countless other artists works. From Loretta Lynn to Roy Orbison.
He also was a great solo artist and as I write this I am listening to him play "Tennessee Walt" and I gotta tell you it is so moving...
It just goes to show you that all great musicians don't play guitar.
He died on New Year's Eve of 1997 of lung cancer at the age of 64.
