Ricky Skaggs Remarks on Bill Cody’s Passing
“This one has been hard for me. I knew Bill Cody back in the mid '80s. Everyone talks about this singer and that singer having such a great voice, but I think Bill Cody had one of the best voices in Country Music, not as a singer, but as a communicator.

Thank you Bill, you were the best!!”—Ricky Skaggs Photo credit: Hannah...
