鄉村歌星Ray Price重病

1970年代走紅的鄉村歌星Ray Price十月八日因敗血症住進休士頓一家醫院，而且已引致急性腎衰竭，他已經跟胰臟癌對抗一段時間，而且在洗腎，他太太說感染來自抗生素，醫生都盡力照顧。

Ray Price 於1926年出生德州東部的Perrybille，年輕時本來立志當獸醫，但因他有彈吉它天份，最後終究從電台發跡踏入歌唱界。

Ray Price早年歌路深受鄉村巨星Hank Williams的影響，他的樂隊the Cherokee Cowboys部份團員就來自Hank Williams的the Drifting Cowboys，所以後來他的綽號就叫the Cherokee Cowboy。

從1952至1989年，Ray Price一共有109首歌進過鄉村歌曲排行榜。

Ray Price於1970年推出由Kris Kristofferson所寫的For The Good Times，除了獲得鄉村歌曲排行榜冠軍，熱門歌曲排行榜第11名之外，也替他奪得當年Grammy最佳鄉村男歌星獎，For The Good Times這首動聽的抒情歌曲，也是全美最常播放的一百首歌排行榜第50名的歌

For the Good Times

Ray Price

Don't look so sad, I know it's over

But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning

Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together

There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine

Hear the whisper of the rain drops flowing soft against the window

And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times

I'll get along, you'll find another

And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me

Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever

There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine

Hear the whisper of the rain drops flowing soft against the window

And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times
