The August 2 show show was a tapestry of stories, songs and affection from artists who called Seely a friend, mentor and Opry North Star.

Jeannie Seely, the soulful country music singer behind such standards like "Don't Touch Me," has died. She was 85. Her publicist, Don Murry Grubbs, said she died Friday after succumbing to complications from an intestinal infection.

Jeannie Seely appeared on Grand Ole Opry radio program more than any other performer and was first to record a live album on Opry stage
