He put his heart and soul into it! What a singer. . He really knew how men and women thought about each other . He found God , but, it was to soon .. I want to see him when i get to Heaven and a lotore country singers!! Loved him souch.
Hey, there COULDN'T be rock and roll or any of the music that followed WITHOUT The Great Hank Williams.... Hank caused a revolution in "delivering" a song, "pumping" a song AT audiences and in doing so, became the first "Rock Star"...
Love that duet with 19 year old Anita Carter. Hank tried hard to get into her pants, but Mother Maybelle ran him off. A few years later there was this other guy after her, even proposed marriage, twice. his name was Elvis something or other.
Nine minutes and fourty six seconds of surpassingly brilliant entertainment by consummate artists . And what about the fabulous versatility of June Carter ? And Hank and his band are faultlessly superb ! The best live performance footage of artistry I've ever seen . Thanks so much for uploading .
Stars of the Grand Ole Opry were invited to appear on the Kate Smith Evening Hour on NBC 3 times 3 months in a row in 1952 March 26th, April 23rd and May 21st. The only act to perform on all 3 shows was the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle also known as the Carter Family. Hank Williams appeared on the March 26 and April 23rd shows. On the March 26th show he performed "Hey Good Lookin'" and on the April 23rd show he performed "Cold Cold Heart" and the duet with beautiful Anita Carter with the amazing voice!! "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You"
Stunning and thank God we have them for our enjoyment. Hiriiam certainly was the King of everything he wrote and sang. My all time favourite singer and songwriter.
I’m 80 and we would usually watch The Kate Smith Evening Hour however I don’t recall the episodes featuring the great Hank Williams. My parents bought our first TV around 1951, a Stromberg Carlson console with a 12” screen. The price was about $400 as I recall. Thanks very much for posting these Hank Williams performances!
I'll be 79 next month (Nov), we didn't get a TV till the summer of 1953, don't know what it cost. My parents liked the Kate Smith show, but I didn't. Give Red Skelton, Milton Berle, Sid Ceaser, Jack Benny.
😂 Good one 🙉 Putting down one of the most iconic & unique vocalist in western music history , who happens to be six feet under so i guess you win by default 🤠 But in all honesty , I firmly do believe we all have the right to have different tastes , so i kid. I am a musician , so I understand & respect Hanks artistry so very much. 🙏 But I do actually wonder who do you think is a great singer friend ?
The time he did cold cold heart and I can’t help it with Anita Carter was in April of 1952 but hey good lookin and the square dancing was from March of 1952
Hello ,sir!.Nice to talk to someone still around.,I was borned in 1970.,grew up with old folks,and old music. Hollerback if you want too. Have a Blessed Day!!👍🙏🫡
@@clintwalls5217 I guess your upbringing was more than satisfactory based on the comments. I too benefited from the old time music, the personalities involved with music and the folks senior to me. When I look at today's kids, the era they are living in, this makes me happy about my own upbringing. Have a care, be well. and thankee for your comment.
Hank had a Leash on the Guitar Solos he purposely made Them under play ‼️He did want them to distract from the poetry of his Lyrics ‼️And he was 100%DEAD ON ‼️‼️✌️💗
Hello, you wouldn't happen to have the original files individually, would you? The excerpt of "Cold Cold Heart and I Can't Help It" is the cleanest version I've seen. I'd love to have a clean copy of it if you could supply me with one, thanks!
I always wondered....at 9:06 Hank sings "for straight is the gate and narrow's the way" Did he mix the lyrics up? seems to make more sense "Narrow's the gate and straight is the way"
