Longtime Grand Ole Opry star Jack Greene, singer of hit's like "There Goes My Everything" and "Statue of a Fool," died yesterday at his Nashville home due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. He was 83.

From the town of Maryville, Tenn., Greene learned to play guitar when he was barely 10 years old and got his first radio job as a teenager. At 18, he was appearing on the Tennessee Barn Dance on WNOX in Knoxville. He first came to national prominence as drummer in country legend Ernest Tubb's band, the Texas Troubadours.
