In my opinion, Gene's never gotten the accolades or recognition someone of his talent should have received. He is undoubtedly one of the best vocalists of his period.
I agree…never got the recognition he deserves… he had a lot of number 1 hits… one of the true country icons…. His music got me through some difficult times… thanks Gene
Not many singers sound as good live as they do on record. It's truly a testament to his talent. RIP Jim Watson, one of the best men I've had the honor of knowing in my life.
Gene Watson is in the Music of Traditional Country . Real Country Texas Country Music Hall of Fame has had him Inducted in the Tex Ritter Carthage Hall of Fame ! Great artist are From Texas are all celebrated there ! God Bless Texas!And Paper Rosy most loved Watson song ! Of his Career!
Gene Watson was one of my dads favorites. I remember listening to his 8 track as he took me to school in the mornings. Treasured moment shared between a son and dad!!!!
Gene Watson one of great country singers of all times in my opinion . May he continue to have a driving desire to put out songs for as long as God keeps him with us .
Gene is truly one of the best voices in country music and this is real country music. Jimmie Capps deserves a lot of credit as well. One of the best dang pickers.. I was in awe of Jimmie when I stood on the stage as the curtain went up at the Opry and Jimmie was playing guitar.. Something that I will never forget..and Jimmies wife singing back up.. This just ties it all together... Amazing,
Absolutely one of the best Country Music Star's out there! He is the best! Listen to Gene Watson and Rhonda Vincent all the time! Love Gene Watson and Rhonda Vincent!
@@genewatson306 I'm 23 so now, so most of my life. My Mom and Grandmother listens to you. I'm from Tennessee so yes your pretty much family around here.. 💕
I have always been in love with country music and this man's voice. He can sit down on a stool and a musician nowhere in the place and sing a song that will just blow you away. Singers now can sit down to sing one of their recorded songs and no music and it sounds like a bunch of chickens and geese just got turned out for the day. Singers this day and time are just making records out if computer generated sounds and their real talent is not even comparable to the singers of Gene's time.
Brenda Davis, you are 1000%. There are very few singers that have the ability to and vocal strength to carry a tune to the octave and length that Gene Watson does. His talent is just amazing. It’s been said that he is considered the ‘singer’s singer’ because of his true talent that so many aspire to have and will never touch! Proud to say he is from my area! I feel that his talent is untouched by anyone today!❤
Y'all - see this guy while you still can. I saw him at Stagecoach in Ft. Worth a few months back. Great concert, and he still hits the end of Farewell Party *PERFECTLY*.
That guy's got to be the best guitar player in the world. If you weren't watching you'd swear that there was an entire band in the background. Awesome song too
Gene said when he heard that song he didn't care for it too much and didn't even like it I love that song so much that I had to learn to sing it it touched my heart and I picture the whole thing as in a video when I'm listening to it that's a beautiful song and a great job from Gene Watson.
Your comment is about two years old as I respond, but I do the same thing and play my own video in my mind of this song and how it would play out in real life.
The Sound quality is awesome on this channel! I use to listen to Gene Watson in the 70’s and 80’s ....wow, where has time gone. That fella sure plays guitar good!! Love Gene ❤️
@@genewatson9326 I have seem you a couple of times but not recently. Maybe one day I'll be able to go to one. I do love your music especially Farewell Party, brings tears everytime I hear it.
