He is known for his clear, distinctive voice, and his ability to take traditional country songs and give them a unique twist. His most successful period was the 1950s and 1960s, when he had a string of Top 10 hits, including "Crazy Arms," "Heartaches by the Number," and "For the Good Times."

Price's most successful albums include the 1956 release The Best of Ray Price and the 1962 classic Night Life. His most successful songs include "Crazy Arms," "Heartaches by the Number," "For the Good Times," and "The Other Woman."

An interesting fact about Ray Price is that he was the first country music singer to perform in Las Vegas. He was also the first country artist to have a #1 hit on the country music charts with a song written by another artist, "For the Good Times" by Kris Kristofferson.
