My sadness for the loss of this artist whose is still very appreciated here in Europe. I am happy to buy his Dixie 'Sweet Love' many years ago. He will remain among us for a long time. Obviously, here in Europe we did not know him personally but the music goes beyond borders. Peace be upon his soul.

Orangie Hubbard was a Musical Pioneer in what became Rock And Roll and a Gentleman at all times. For those who never knew him, when you hear Rockabilly music, think of Orangie Ray Hubbard. Rest In Peace, Mr. Hubbard. Billie Gant
