On Saturday, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Kyle Young said, “Ralph Emery’s impact in expanding country music’s audience is incalculable. On radio and on television, he allowed fans to get to know the people behind the songs.

“Ralph Emery was often better known than the stars he introduced to larger and larger audiences over the years as country music’s foremost ambassador,” Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern said in a statement. “Our format had no better voice over the years than Ralph, who treated country music and its stars — many of whom went on to become his friend — with the kind of dignity and respect they deserved for decades.

He was a Nashville original and you cannot underestimate the role he played in the growth and success of country music. He made you feel at ease and interviewed everyone just like an old friend. From WSM to Nashville Now, he was one of the best. He became a dear friend to me and Doo through the years and I’m gonna miss him.
“Ralph Emery just crossed over the river Jordan. If it were not for his generosity, I wouldn’t have had a career. He had me on his hugely popular show, ‘Nashville Now,’ 56 times. The importance of that exposure to millions of country music fans cannot be overstated,” noted T. Graham Brown.
