In January 2011, Charlie Louvin succumbed to complications from pancreatic cancer. The country icon was best known as one-half of the Louvin brothers, who scored a No. 1 hit in 1956 with 'I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby.' After the death of Ira Louvin, he went on to enjoy a very successful solo career, including hits like 'I Don't Love You Anymore' and 'The Only Way Out.' The Country Music Hall of Famer was working to almost his last days, having just released 'The Battle Rages On' album in November 2010. The 83-year-old's death was confirmed by his wife, Betty.
