Clyde Julian Foley (June 17, 1910 – September 19, 1968), known professionally as Red Foley, was an American singer, musician, and radio and TV personality who made a major contribution to the growth of country music after World War II.
For more than two decades, Foley was one of the biggest stars of the genre, selling more than 25 million records. His 1951 hit, "Peace in the Valley", was among the first million-selling gospel records. A Grand Ole Opry veteran until his death, Foley also hosted the first popular country music series on network television, Ozark Jubilee, from 1955 to 1960.
He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, which called him "one of the most versatile and moving performers of all time" and "a giant influence during the formative years of contemporary Country music."
Biography
Foley was born June 17, 1910 on a 24-acre (9.7ha) farm in Blue Lick, Kentucky, grew up in nearby Berea, and gained the nickname Red for his hair color. He was born into a musical family, and by the time he was nine was giving impromptu concerts at his father's general store, playing French harp, piano, banjo, trombone, harmonica and guitar. At 17, he won first prize in a statewide talent show. He graduated from Berea High School, and later worked as a $2-a-show usher and singer at a theater in Covington, Kentucky.
He began working as an official scorer for Major League Baseball in 1966, and during his career presided over more than 3,000 games. From 1981 to 2001 he was an official scorer in ten World Series, serving longer than any other scorer in modern history. He retired in 2002.
His career as a sportswriter spanned 34 years up to 1981, during which time he wrote articles for the New York Daily News. During this time he was an officer of the Baseball Writers Association of America for many years. In 1969-70, he served as chairman of the New York City chapter.

When God dips his pen of love in my heart And writes my soul a message he wants me to know His spirit all divine fills this sinful soul of mine When God dips his love in my heart Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a living soul How he brought salvation when he made me whole But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart Cause it makes me laugh and it makes me cry When it sets my sinful soul on fire When God dips his love in my heart [ organ ] Sometimes though the way is dreary dark and cold And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal I go to God in prayer I can always find him there To whisper sweet peace to my soul
