On Wednesday, legendary gospel and country singer Charlie Louvin passed away. He had been battling pancreatic cancer for years and remained active in music up until this year, when he releases his last album The Battle Rages On.
Louvin is probably best known for his gospel stylings with his brother Ira as the Louvin Brothers. The album cover for "Satan is Real" is often trotted out as one of the worst album covers ever, but the music within is earnest and classic country gospel. Louvin was 83.
