Rick, thanks for suggesting Crazy. It's not for the same reason as this post, but I'm going to be playing that in March as part of a recital at the U of IA. Nice song! Patsy comes closer to a yodel (fully there, I think, but not elaborate) in this song:

I also like the Eddy Arnold idea, although it too is not what I'm secretly hoping to find. (When I find it I'll share the secret) I've always found Eddy's voice relaxing; I think he had a tune in the top 40 when I young, which is the first I remember hearing him.
The yodeling thing always seemed a bit to me like octave lip slurs, except with the vocal cords. I never could get the hang of the sudden switch for getting my vocal cords vibrating in two node mode. When I was younger, I sang a lot of falsetto parts, and could make a smooth transition between the two modes, but could never manage the yodel thing.
