I never liked Conway. Loretta is ok, but I’ve always been partial to Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley, and Moe Bandy.
Waylon, Alabama and Hank Jr have to be on the list as well.
Loved Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley when I was in HS

Eddy Arnold gets defaulted because he was a New Yorker that found a way to make money without the ability to be Frank Sinatra or a pop flavor of the time.
To his credit, some of the softer voices that followed (like Ray Price) were just doing what Eddy already had done.
You’re wrong about Eddie Arnold. Arnold was born on May 15, 1918, on a farm near Henderson, Tennessee. His father, a sharecropper, played the fiddle, while his mother played guitar. Arnold's father died when he was just 11, forcing him to leave school and begin helping on the family farm. This led to him later gaining his nickname, the Tennessee Plowboy
And Ray Price was also a farm boy. Born on a farm in E TX. Most folks don’t know that Ray Price was Hank Williams roommate when he died. He and Hank Sr roomed together in Nashville when Hank & Audrie divorced. He also managed and sang with Hank’s Drifting Cowboys Band for a few years after Hank died
Both were two of the smoothest voices ever in Country Music. I got to meet Ray Price when I was a small child of 6 or 7. He even let me hold his guitar. And showed me a chord on it. Heck of a nice guy, too.
Eddy spent most of his formative time beating on the doors of RCA records for a contract, which wasn't located in Tennessee, as evidenced by the music he put out from the late 40's and thereafter....as a crooner like Frank Sinatra, who he shared a label with.
FWIW, Donny Young, aka Johnny Paycheck, Willie Nelson and Roger Miller were in Ray Price's Drifting Cowboys.
Any list that doesn’t include DAC is flawed so bad it’s beyond repair.
My cousin said DAC was a hoot when he jammed with Pantera back in the day. My cousin was good friends with dime bag/Darrel Abbot, they came up together in Arlinton back in the day, he has several of his guitars he got after Abbot was murdered.

Didn't see Webb Pierce anywhere. As far as being a crooner, myself I don't think anyone could hold Frank's hat, but I don't think that Frank could do The Cattle Call like Eddy did.
Someone mentioned Dwight Yoakam. I'll put in that list. Just saw him and his band two weeks ago with Chris Stapleton. Yoakam blew the roof off the place. He has wrote a lot of songs and that dude delivers.

Dwight puts on one of the best C&W concerts I’ve ever seen. And his band is phenomenal!
And he played one hell of a asswhole bad guy in the movie Sling Blade with ole Billy Bob Thornton.
