First Time Reaction | Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain | BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY BALLAD 

“When i call your name” a heart breaker of a song… Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill How great thou art could possibly be the greatest musical performance in our lifetime

Vince and Patty Lovelace singing this at George Jones's funeral will really get you in the feels!

They played this at my son's funeral, will always make me cry. He wrote this for his brother and a friend that passed away.

Vince and Carrie Underwood How Great Thou Art is pure Gold!

He was accompanied by two other legends, Ricky Skaggs a multi-Grammy winning bluegrass musician, and Patty Loveless, recently inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Patty is also well worth reacting to, Vince and Patty often sang back up for one another, their voices blend beautifully. Vince also did a duet of I Will Always Love You with Dolly Parton in the mid 90s after Whitney's cover. George Jones gave Vince the nickname Sweet Pea and always called him that.

Vince Gill is a legend no one sounds like he does

He started writing this when his friend, Keith Whitley, passed away. He finished writing it when his brother passed away.

You should see the video of him singing this at George Jones's funeral. He can barely make it through. very touching.

Vince has an ethereal voice and a beautiful spirit. Big part of my childhood, he is firmly a country artist

Just because it’s a ballad doesn’t mean it’s not country. There are thousands of country ballads. You should check out his duet with Carrie Underwood singing How Great Thou Art. You will be blown away

Too many times, too many tears. This has become a cherished song during our times of sorrow.

He first started writing this song when his friend, country singer Keith Whitley, died young from alcoholism. Some of the lyrics (no stranger to the rain) reference Keith's songs. He finished writing the song after his brother died. My mother was mentally ill. I feel the song really reflects one's ambivalent feelings when a loved one who struggled a lot in life passes away. You miss them, but at the same time you are glad they can finally rest. I felt that way when Mom passed.

He wrote this for his brother who passed away 😔 You should watch the Live version of this... amazing

Vince has the voice of an angel & his guitar playing is extraordinary. He has a ton of beautiful songs, several duets with famous gals like Reba McEntire (A heart won't lie) & Patty Loveless who is singing on this one & 'When I call your name' as well. However, his collaboration with Carrie Underwood will make you cry, it's so beautiful. 'How great thou art" He only sings backup on that one, but his harmonies & his guitar solo is breathtaking & Carrie will shock you with her amazing performance. Literally AWESOME & you can see it live at a country award show! As for this performance? I have heard it at dozens of funerals & it is always moving. It is heart breaking and gives peace at the same time. Such a special song.

He was played with the Eagles in their later years love his voice ❤❤❤❤

Ballads are country and can be any other type of music, it's how the music is portrayed.

Country Gospel. ❤❤❤❤❤

He plays the third verse live. It’s not on DSPs. I just saw Vince live on Saturday night. He played for a solid 3 1/2 hours and absolutely blew me away. He has so many hits. That’s a whole rabbit hole.

He sang this song at George Jones’ memorial. Not a dry eye in the house.

Vince Gill has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. ❤

I am typing through tears. This song was played at my Father in-laws funeral in 2008 and my son's funeral in 2012. I can't help but cry. I met Vince Gill in Nashville at a banquet I was working. I served his table. He is a very nice man.. I met him at a banquet in honor of Brooks and Dun for a Humanitarian Award in. 2003. It was a great day.

This song is partly about Country Legend - Keith Whitley (No Stranger to the Rain). Vince is a must go down rabbit hole!!!! Pure Prairie League - Let Me Love You Tonight. Wrong Facts: Cherry Bomb - was a parody band in the middle of his solo career. Left Out: Before his solo career - Mark Knopffler asked Vince to join Dire Straits. Vince is currently touring with the Eagles.

He wrote this song when he lost his brother.....country/gospel/ballad

My husband and I have been long-time fans. Seen him live. We always say he has a voice like an Angel. And NOW he is part of the Eagles, and has been for a number of years. We've seen him live, in his solo years, and a few years back (pre-Covid) as a member of the Eagles.

7 years ago, August 3rd I lost My Dear Sweet Beautiful Daughter Jessica. She passed away in her sleep from the pancreastitis. She left behind a Lovely Child and husband. This same year I lost my sister. Sad time for me

He wrote this song for his older brother who was several years older and died when he (Vince) was still young.

I heard this song the first time in 1996 at my uncle's funeral. Afterward, it has become the number one song st funerals. When my stepson died, of course, I requested this song.

Love Vince. Nobody Answers When I Call Your Name, I Still Believe In You, Look at Us. Duets with Reba also. Amazing singer, songwriter and musician

That's Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless singing with him on the chorus. Both were big artists in their own right. When Vince sang it at George Jones' memorial Patty and Ricky had to take over at the end because Vince git too choked up to sing. When I Call Your Name (Patty Loveless on backgroubd again) The Heart Don't Lie (duet with Reba McEntire) Country has tons of ballads.

Oh Patti Loveless is a rabbit hole u should investigate. She is a legend on her own. Such a great singer.

Like many others, this song was played at my grandfather's and dad's funerals.

Vince is a great singer...love it...

A tribute to his brother. A song that resonates to all who have lost someone special in their lives.

Ricky Skaggs the male harmony singer. Country/Bluegrass legend

This song was written in memory of his brother & his friend Keith Whitley who passed. I played it at my dad’s funeral.

I would consider it more of a gospel feel

This was played at my Fathers funeral. It was appropriate, Han amazing song for an amazing man!

The other two people are Patty loveless, and Ricky Skaggs, both country and bluegrass backgrounds for them this is a country gospel song that he wrote for his brother and good friend Keith Whitley, when they died!! Great song he's a great singer, songwriter, and musician.

In this video the bVs are two more famous country music stars. Mr Ricky Skaggs and Mrs Patty Loveless.

Song played at hundreds of funerals

It's more of a hym with blue grass notes. It has comforted so many of us during our time of loss.

We always FEEL Vince's voice! He is certainly a gifted blessing.

song about his brother's death - Vince sang this at George Jones funeral & he could barely get through it but Patty Loveless backed him & help him get through it!!! It is on RU-vid & so worth a look. It will literally make you cry - it is so emotional - Garth Brooks stood up & a standing ovation occurred which help Vince finish his tribute!

This song was for his brother that died.it was played at my son funeral in 2017

Vince Gill is one of the best voices you’ll ever hear!! His voice is smooth, sexy and just melts my heart. His voice with Patty Loveless are just most beautiful harmony!! Yes it’s about dying. It’s Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs harmony.

This is my favorite video of that most amazing song that includes Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs with the backing vocals and Ricky also on the fiddle. The sheer beauty of the music and meaning always bring tears to my eyes.

Vince turned down a spot in the band Dire Straits in the late 80s. His guitar playing and voice are so fine!

He started this song for his friend Keith Whitley, another Country legend. You heard the, you were no stranger to the rain reference, I'm no Stranger to the Rain is one of Keith's biggest hits. He finished the song when his Brother passed.

He came to an extended family member’s funeral decades ago and got up and sang it live for our family at the time. Everyone wept even more. It was before the recording had been released. He is legitimately a great human.

He started to write the song when Keith Whitley died ( another Country singer legend) and finished it when his brother died!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful touching song with us. Vince wrote this song after he lost a good friend and then his brother. Nice reaction

The song was written for his brother, who passed away. He has since recorded another verse to the song. On albums, he sings much of his own harmony. He has also been a member of the Eagles since Glen Fry died.

It is beautiful, and I lovely wish for their journey home.

Singing with him are Patty Loveless and Ricky Scaggs. Country/Bluegrass Legends in their own right.

Written for his brother who died. He was unable to perform it live until George Jones memorial.

His voice is gold.

It is 100% Country. The real Country

I worked for a stagehand group back in the 1980s. Vince Gill was opening for Reba. She had 18 tractor trailers to load and unload packed full of things like mini airplanes, cars and everything heavy she could find to take on the damn tour. We were resting when Vince came through the back entrance. He shook all of our hands and thanked us for our hard work. Nicest celebrity I’ve ever met.

Vince started writing this song for his friend, Keith Whitley (he passed young) and finished it when his brother passed. I couldn't see the female, but I think it was Patty Loveless. The man was Ricky Scaggs. All three are steeped in Bluegrass, which is "mountain music".

The people with him are Patty Lovelace, and Ricky Skaggs. He wrote this originally for his brother who died.

My favorite songs from the incomparable Vince Gill are I Still Believe In You, Tryin’ To Get Over You, Whenever You Come Around, Say Hello, Look At Us, Don’t Let Our Love Start Slipping Away, One More Last Chance, and The Heart Won’t Lie (duet with Reba McEntire).

In addition to this being about his brother who passed sway it was also about Keith Whitley’s passing also, hence he is no stranger to the rain is in the lyrics.

Vince is 100% pure country!! the harmonies are Allison Krauss and Ricky Skaggs!

Played this at both of my parents' funerals. Vince Gill finished writing this song after his brother died. Makes me cry every time I hear it. Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs sing this with him.

Vince and Patty Lovelace singing this at George Jones's funeral is an epic event. Patty Loveless is the lady and Ricky Skaggs the man. They are stars in their own right. Patty Loveless has so many hits, I don't know which one to call out, but "You'll never leave Harlan alive" is up there.

Patty Loveless on the harmony vocals. Vince calls her the sister he never had b/c of the sibling harmony they to have. Patty also sang harmony for Vince on "When I call Your Name" exquisite and the song that made Vince a star. Should check out them live from the 91 Country Music Awards singing "Pocket Full of Gold" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V6SF9XY6cBw.html

Every time I hear the line "when they hear your sweet voice sing" I break.... My dad sang music all of his short life, gospel and real classic country music. At the age of 42, he chose the songs to be played at his funeral. Including a couple of his own, Vern Gosdin, and one of his favorites.... Gene Watson's "Farewell Party".... songs that now, more than 36 years later, I can still barely listen to....

Song is about his Brother who passed away.

He's also a fantastic musician as well!

This is the Bluegrass Gospel sound. One of the basis of country music. Watch Ken Burns’ History of Country Music. Country means folk, people of the country. It is not just one kind of sound.

Loved the reaction! The woman is Patty Loveless and the man is Ricky Skaggs. Both country and Bluegrass legends. He wrote it for his brother

Definitely more gospel, southern gospel

That is Ricky Skaggs & Alison Krause singing with Vince. .They are 2 of the most sought after voices and instrumentalists in blue grass music. Ricky Scaggs is a multi Grammy Award winning blue grass & country singer. Alison has the voice of an angel and she can sure can play the fiddle. This song was written by Vince Gill for his brother. It is a gospel song. Very country and very spiritual,

He wrote this song when his brother passed away it's a tribute to his brother

He started writing this for country artist Keith Whitley, but he couldn't finish it until his brother died in a car accident. He also sang this at the funeral service for George Jones. He choked up, and Patty Loveless helped him finish it. When Glen Frey from the Eagles died, he started touring with them.

This is an amazing song for faith and hope ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m related to Ricky Skaggs he’s a distant cousin. Our family reunion are Skaggs and Ward. He’s been there a couple times years ago. Pretty cool!

It's a song he wrote when Keith Whitley died, but really became a classic when he sang it at George Jones' funeral.

My husband died in 2008 and I had them play this song at his funeral. In 2008 I attended four funerals and this song was played at three of them. I believe Go Rest High has become the number one song played at funerals, taking the position formerly held by Amazing Grace. It sounds like you think a ballad can't be country but that is not true. Many country songs are ballads. BTW, you can't really get much more country than Vince Gill or Patty Loveless or Ricky Skaggs who are the two artists who are singing harmony with Vince on this song. Patty also sings harmony with Vince on "When I Call Your Name" which is another ballad and is another beautiful country song. Dolly Parton has a song called "Down from Dover", which, incidentally is another ballad and another country song, and years after she released it she added another verse. The verse she added makes a HUGE difference to the song and makes it much better but it is difficult to find the song with that extra verse in it. The only place I have been able to find the additional verse is on the album that has a black and white cover with Dolly sitting sideways in a chair with one arm hooked over the back of the chair. I think the song was initially written back in the late 60's or early 70's and the extra verse was not added until she re-released it on this album in 2001, so for approximately 40 years it did not have the additional verse so when Vince added to Go Rest High it was not the first time this had been done.

For the longest time, I only knew him from Pure Praire League (his harmonies on Amie were great).

Vince wrote this song when his brother died. That is Patty Loveless and Rickie SKAGGS singing with him.

He wrote this song for his brother that passed. It has been sung at many a memorial service. They probably labled it country because of the instruments and because it is also his wheelhouse of singing and writing music...

Vince is great.He is now playing with the eagles

Sub genres are difficult, but this has always felt like Country Gospel. I began chemo and radiation yesterday for Stage IIIA NSCLC and I'm in my mid 50s. Hubby and I have 6 kids and 5 grandkids. I'm a successful training specialist and have touched the lives of hundreds of people that have now become my prayer army. I have a different perspective on death and this song captures part of that. You see... Nothing can happen to me that God doesn't allow. If He takes me to it, He'll see me through it. So, I'm holding His hand as I walk through this challenging time. On the other side of my treatments, I will either emerge with Him gloriously victorious over cancer or I'll be holding His hand as I'm taken to Heaven to worship Jesus every minute of every day, free of sorrow, pain, strife, or worry. Either way, I'll be in a much better place than I am right now. As a Christian, there is no fear in dying. It's those left behind that endure the grief of missing the one they cared for so greatly and deeply. For those who lose family and friends, please remember that their purpose on this Earth was completed and now they get their eternal rewards. Carry forth the positive impacts they had on you and continue to bless others the same way. That's the highest honor you can give to a beloved deceased person. I don't want to die. I've had many life battles to overcome and I'm supercharged to fight this one, too. But I'm His servant and will take whatever path He sets me on for married is the path that leads to the Kingdom of Heaven and I intend to live there forevermore. Whether that starts in 30 years, 30 months, or 30 days... I'm prepared and looking forward to that peace. Love for the Father and the Son... Only they know when my work on Earth is done.

Vince sings "High on the Mountan" when a police officer or firefighter passes away. He also sang it at an eight year old little girls funeral. The little was killed in a drive by shooting

Home free did a cover of go rest high on that mountain. Superb harmonies

Ricky and Patty are artists in their own right. Ifound the 3rd verse on RU-vid. It really finishes it. I first heard it on my way to work one night in the 90s. It came on the radio as I passed the vet's office, where one of my dogs was in testing. At that instant, I knew we would not be taking him home. Vince and George Jones were good friends.

Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless on harmonies. He has done alot of work with them and they are amazing together. Vince’s voice is incomparable.

There are country ballads

Soft rock? That's Gospel, baby! Back up is Ricky Scaggs & Patty Loveless. Occasionally, Allison Krauss fills in, which is next level! 4 of the best BG/ country artists of AT.

Vince has several up beat songs that are Great songs too.. everyone will request his slow songs but check out some of his more fun songs:)

Such a great song.

Carrie Underwood sings this song including the 3rd verse at an event honoring Vince Gill. She did it beautifully

He wrote it for another artist who died from drugs, 2nd verse for his brother who died of a heart attack.

You have so much to discover about the different music out there. Enjoy

This is Bluerass/ gospel band. That is the specific genre and the accent is the undertone, created in the South and Midwest.

While living with a friend and her family in '93 I caught myself singing to one of his songs. It wasn't this song tho.. but I got into country for a while because of that. Still love the songs from that point in time.. named my daughter Shania after Shania Twain..

The song was about his brother, but it also was meant for Keith Whitley after he died...and the song IS about Jesus...but it is about Vince's brother shouting love for the Father and the Son...

Vince Gill and Patty Loveless sing very well together

This song was sang at my father's funeral. The harmony comes from 2 more country legends. Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs. This song is classified more gospel or Christian or Country Christian. And it breaks my heart everything I hear it. The song is about death.
