KNEW JOHNNY IN THE 70'S WHERE HE PERFORMED IN A LITTLE BAR, THE JUNGLE INN IN WESLACO TEXAS . . . JUST A HOP FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER. HE WAS KIND AND REALLY ENTERTAINED THE CROWD. HIS UNIQUE STYLE AND DELIVERY CAN GIVE ME CHILLS . . .AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. HE'S A TREASURE.
Johnny is one of the last great country singers. Right up there with Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Thompson, George Strait, Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, and so many, many more of the older ones.
1st singer, in the history of country music to make a rock song, cross over to the country charts, with .... the Ray Charles song, 'I can't stop loving you' (1972), then, with ... The Beatles' song, 'Something' (1974), then, wiith ... The Eagles' songs, 'Desperado', and, 'Lyin Eyes' (1976) !
I remember my son and his girlfriend singing this song- did not realize what a great artist had recorded this song- and many others which I am now appreciating now. His recent videos are the greatest!
johnny gray with songs on you tube has been underrated too. listen to bama walk of fame and my fav,blue eyes and brown eyes. i will watch for comments. he was 1 of the best.
I HAVE ALL OF JOHNNY ROD'S,SONG,MY FAV IS (I CAN,T BE ME WITHOUT YOU,AND IT'S FOUR IN THE MORNING...I PLAN TO PUT OF MY JOHNNY ON YOU TUBE ,I LOVE ALL HIS WORK,I WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT HIS MUSIC,I BURN A CD,OF ALL MY OLD ONES AND I COMB THREW ALOT OF MUSIC PLACES,I JUST THINK HIS VOICE IS SO SMOOTH AND HE WAS MENT TO SING...I JUST LOVE HILLBILLY HEART.
I Cant Stop Loving You Written by Don Gibson and recorded by several country artist including Don Gibson Jim Reeves long before Ray Charles revorded it, So it was a Country Song before it was a Rock or Pop Song
do you ever wonder why maybe a lot of things are not what we would want them to be? Me, too! maybe life is supposed to be just one surprise after another. well, that is one way to avoid boredom. Of course, to know happy, we must know sad. To know full, we must know empty. (dark is the absence of light and vice versa)
