The landscape of country music will always be evolving. Although names like George Strait, Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, Patsy Cline, and Willie Nelson will forever be pillars in country music, some voices offer that simple touch of familiarity – like Bill Cody. No matter the era or year, Cody spent his career welcoming people to the Grand Ole Opry. While his career went far beyond the Opry, his legacy will forever be entwined with the genre after he sadly passed away at 67. 

Considered the voice of a generation, Cody struggled with several health issues recently, including kidney and heart failure. Having been part of WSM Radio for the past three decades, the network shared the devastating news on Instagram. Posting a picture of Cody, the caption read, “It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend and beloved WSM voice, Bill Cody.”

My heart is breaking, because one of my best friends in this world, the great Bill Cody, has passed away. Sheila and I consider his friendship for so many years such a gift.

I first met Bill in 1987 in Tallahassee, Florida, where he was emceeing a show with Ricky Skaggs and me. This was a few years before Bill relocated to Nashville and began his legendary career at WSM Radio. He was also longtime Grand Ole Opry announcer.

He became a member of the Country Radio Hall a fame, Country Music Disc Jockey Hall of Fame, and recently the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame.

Bill was always so funny, and we were constantly clowning around. Our fun times, endless stories, and laughs will never be forgotten. He was a true man of God and a quality human being. He’s resting in the arms of Jesus and will be forever more.
