Cline, who taught himself to play the fiddle before the age of seven, spent 26 years performing with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys.
He also appeared on the "Grand Ole Opry" and "Hee Haw" before illness forced him to retire about three years ago.
Cline, who grew up on a West Virginia farm, started out as one of the original members of the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers.
In addition to his work with Stanley's band, Cline made recordings of his own, often silly tunes with comic lyrics.
