Who is Ray Price?
- Noble Ray Price (January 12, 1926 - December 16, 2013) was an American country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Some of his well-known recordings include "Release Me", "Crazy Arms", "Heartaches by the Number", "For the Good Times", "Night Life", and "You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me". He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996. He continued to record and tour into his 80s.
