Country music lost one of its heroes, as legendary TV and radio broadcaster Ralph Emery died on Saturday, Jan. 15 at the age of 88. After news broke of his death, many of the stars whose lives he touched over the years flocked to social media to share their memories of Emery and bid him a final farewell.
Loretta Lynn offered a few words about Emery's massive impact on the country genre, and spoke to her experience with him as both an interviewer and as a friend.
Esteemed duo Brooks & Dunn also paid tribute to Emery's life and legacy, though more succinctly.
"No words for what this man did for country music, no words," the duo state alongside a picture of Emery sharing a laugh with Brooks & Dunn bandmates Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn.
Alabama also testified to Emery's genial, respectful approach to interviewing, saying, "He was always a gentleman to us with great respect. We salute a true legend. We will miss you."
Echoing that sentiment is Ronnie Milsap, who says, "You were always so good to me." The Oak Ridge Boys' William Lee Golden thanked Emery for his "years of friendship," while Ray Stevens posted a photo collage of memories in tribute to "my dear friend."

I loved it when Marty Robinson was on Ralph's show he always made ralph laugh
Never spoke a bad word about anybody. He helped so many with their careers. Truely an Icon.
My favorite memory of Ralph was back in the 80’s when he’d have Keith Whitley on the show and he would ask Keith to do his Lester flatt impersonation. Man he’d laugh so hard and in turn so did everybody else! Those were real good times.🎶
Loved him. Watched his Pop goes the country and others. RIP
That voice was unmistakable. You always knew you were going to hear something of real country music, when you heard him speak.
Ralph Emery was a great voice behind country music for many many years. He will be deeply missed.

I loved listening to The Ralph Emery show on the radio, when I was a teenager
A true Country Gentleman.
We all grew up with him , his voice was destictive , truely great , one of a kind.
As a kid growing up in Nashville in the 80s and 90s, I used to watch his show in the morning while sitting in front of the space heater to dry my hair before I had to go out in the cold and wait for the school bus.
Blessings and love to his family and friends and co-workers

RiP Ralph Emery God bless your family through this tough time
The best friend and promoter Country Music ever will have. He is up there with Grant Turner now. What a conversation they're having.
Like everyone we loved Ralph and Nashville Now. My wife and I met him at Fan Fair Nashville in 1995. We waited for 5 hours in the front of the line, he talked with us at length and was so nice, just like an good friend. We will definitely miss him! Thoughts and prayers to Ralph's family, Heaven sure has a fantastic emcee and world-class interviewer, and man with a big heart.
If you loved Country Music you never missed an episode of Nashville Now. RIP
Ralph was a great boost for Country Music and was so easy to watch and listen to on the former TNN. As a Canadian fan I really missed his show Nashville Now when it went off the air and also the network itself. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be so greatly missed. 🌹♥️♥️🌹
Ralph was great and will be missed. RIP
Rest In Peace Ralph
Praying for the family you will be truly missed
He was one of a kind,so sorry for his family.
♥️…he was Special 🌹
My condolences to the family 🙏
A true legend!
He was such a wonderful guy we will miss you 😢
A Class Act. He brought genuine pleasure for anyone he interviewed. RIP RALPH.
God rest Ralph Emery's soul bless those he has left heartbroken. He gave a good boost to a host of performers who were just starting out and trying to get heard. One of the first times I saw him was when he interviewed The Judds on TNN. I think he jokingly called them "the jugs!" Having said that, he always treated everyone with the utmost respect, even those he didn't particularly care for.
Just loved Ralph. Condolences and prayers to the family🙏❤️
🙏 Rip 🌹 Enjoyed Ralph very Inspiring!!!
R.I.P.
RIP RALPH YOU WILL BE MISSED
