Country singer Daryle Singletary dead at 46
Country music singer Daryle Singletary has passed away. The singer died from an apparent blood clot at his Lebanon, Tennessee, home on the morning of February 12, 2018. He was 46 years-old and he is survived by his wife, Holly, and their four children.
Singletary was best known for his hit songs "Too Much Fun," "I Let Her Lie" and "Amen Kind of Love." He began his career as a Southern gospel singer and considered Ricky Skaggs, George Jones and Keith Whitley as his musical influences. He grew up enamored of artists such as George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Randy Travis. It was his purchase of the latter's Storms of Life album at the age of 15 that had a particularly deep and profound impact on him.
He began to sing Gospel music with his brother, and also worked on sharpening his songwriting skills. At the age of 19, he moved to Nashville, where he began playing in the clubs and recording demos. In 1992, Travis heard the singer on "An Old Pair of Shoes" -- which he recorded and took to No. 21 on the Hot Country Songs chart -- and was also struck by the singer's classic-sounding delivery. With Travis in his corner professionally, Singletary soon found himself on the roster of Giant Records.
One of the songs Singletary recorded which became a minor hit in 2007 is "Jesus and Bartenders."
They both know a man in trouble when they see one
And they're both willing to listen when he talks
Anger and depression, tearful confessions
Jesus and bartenders hear it all
Jesus and bartenders hear it allWell, they hear things that men don't tell their wives
Sinful secrets whiskey brings to light
One man offers comfort from the cross
The other only comfort on the rocksThey both know a man in trouble when they see one
And they're both willing to listen when he talks
Anger and depression, tearful confessions
Jesus and bartenders hear it all
Jesus and bartenders hear it allBut if you're at the end of your rope
Either one will serve you, but just one offers hope
Fellow country singer Travis Tritt tweeted, "I'm shocked and saddened to hear that Daryle Singletary has passed away. He was a true country voice and his talent will be sorely missed. Praying for Daryle's friends and family."
Funeral plans are pending.
