Hank Thompson - Early 1960's - Just to Ease the Pain 

I'm 80 years old and been listening to country music all my life and I remember ever hearing that song before. Hank T. was a great singer.

I am 88 years old,just lost my only love of 68 years .Hank was our favorite in early 50's.

I'm from Denmark and a Hank Thompson fan since childhood in the 60's. Yes, his records made it over here back then. 20 years ago he answered a letter I wrote him. What a nice guy.

He is one of the only thumb pickers i have noticed that played country...What voice and talent.. I miss him and didn't even know him personally..He must have been a very happy person cuz he always smiled.And the hew haw style chicken song was fantastic! I almost fell out of my chair ..

This is a Great song by Hank Thompson,Peace GARYV.

Thanks for posting this reminder of how ABSOLUTELY AND UNQUESTIONABLY GREAT a band was Hank and the Brazos Valley Boys.

Hank is one of the few very great authentic Texas country-western performers and Hall of Famer! His entire collection of songs and Bear Family Albums are a collectors dream.

What a singer,Thanks for sharing.

Wow...what a singer...what a band...we're going to miss him! RIP Hank

My dad Charlie Meeks on bass!

Hank had a way with words like no other. I'm speechless! Hank Thompson, you wrote my life......

thats my great uncle "Hank Thompson"

THE BALLADEER OF ALL BALLADEERS.

Jimmy Dean is to be given credit for exposing the country to this kind of music. Some of my first TV memories are from this show and ROLF! Dean knew talent... Thompson was a GOD.

I thought I'd heard all of Hank's songs. "Yesterday's Girl" used to be my favorite, but now this one is. Almost everytime I turn on my computer I have to listen to it.

This is is best song and probably one I of the best ever.

True I happy again I free from pains and hurt of being rejected no more

One of the highlights of my life was to get to DANCE with my sexy wife to Hanks music in the US NATIONAL GAURD ARMOURY in Tucumcari, NM, in the 1950's. One of the best entertainers in my 85 years, for sure!

Amazing!! No fireworks on stage, no dancing girls, no profanity. How did this guy ever make it big??!!! Oh, right,.....TALENT.

Use to see this guy and some others out side big red furniture in packing town Oklahoma City in the 50s

SHARMING..........SO MUCH....

Jimmy lives here in Richmond, VA. Has a nice place on the James River. I believe that this is his wife's hometown.

ya, i was looking it up on the net , then found out, sorry for the "mis-imformation", what a loss, i'v got his music on lp's and " YUOTUBE", thanks, Mac

in this song he reminds me of Hank Williams sr, the way he sings it that is

we have his guitar I think

👍👍

Bert Rivera, steel player in this video, has some recent live performances posted by jjjazzz1.

What show is this?

A so-so singer, but a great musician.

Enunciation! YES!

Didn't this guy do "The night Miss Nancy Ann's hotel burned down"? Late 60's or so.

@canoebelue Tex Williams did Miss Nancy Ann's Hotel. Jimmy may have done it too, but Tex had the hit.

Hmm … apparently one person accidentally clicked "dislike." I mean, it had to be an accident, right?

That man could sing into a Gene Rayburn condensor mike, boy-o

No...he passed away November 6 of lung cancer.

why RIP? he is NOT dead, he is still performing today
