Charlie Louvin (July 7, 1927 – January 26, 2011)

I remember in the latter years of my Mother's life, she would tell me that when we lived on Reed Avenue in Memphis, The Louvin Brothers would arrive back home from a road trip. They lived across the street from us during the 1950's. I was only 3 or 4 years old, but it brings back fond memories of my Mother's stories.

I was forunate enough to meet Charlie Louvin backstage at the Grand Ol' Opry about 10 years ago and mentioned my family to him and he did remember us. Very courteous man and a great talent. He will be missed.
