A living legand..My mother talked about seeing Mel in the 70s..Everybody got up and started stomping there feet on the floor for 1 song..After she passed away in 2020 i found her ticket stub to Mels concert 1976.😍
ugh..brings back the days of when I was a kid in the 1970s going to chop wood in the fall for the fireplace. My dad had this old Ford pick up, back when Ford was a Ford, and we'd head down to the forest near our fishing hole in Illinois and mom was in the kitchen baking strawberry/rhubarb pie and other pastries.
I couldn’t find it on Amazon music either. Makes no sense, great song, should be on a greatest hits album, but isn’t. I’ve searched extensively. At least it’s here.
You allway' could ask ol Dolly what CB QVC novalty channel made some type'o with_in $$$ someone as an borrower Penney on the dollar [Pooh bear the truly lawlessoutlaw solo sailor J/PR/P(LLC+365°-5[ hiccup business before pleasure, so some may say π√]}=
I heard this song the day he died. We sure did loose a legend. He will be truly missed, but his music will still live on forever. Plus I was only a year old when the song came out in 1977.
@@joedirt7119 i was 21. he would stutter. but he could sing and he had a daughter Pamela and she coul sink like the queen of memphis. and hoss was dan blocker a football player who was an actor on the ponderosa ranch on bonanza. a lot of beefcake in the 1960s-1970×,when roy Clark and buckaroo ows sang on hee haw. the choir of guys sane blues agony on sunday if it weren't for bad luck i would have no luck at all.....
This one is certainly catchy. It was about to enter into the top ten on the United States of America BILLBOARD entertainment magazine Hot Country Singles chart exactly forty years ago at this time, in the great music year of 1977.. :-]
On this day in 1977 {September 5th} Mel Tillis was a guest on the CBS-TV weekday-afternoon television program, 'The Merv Griffin Show'... At the time his "I Got The Hoss" was at position #14 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, four weeks later it would peak at #3 {for 2 weeks} and it spent sixteen weeks on the chart... It also reached #3 on the Canadian RPM Country Singles chart... Between 1958 and 1989 the Tampa, Florida native had seventy five records on the Hot Country Singles chart, thirty one made the Top 10 with five reaching #1, plus he had three records peak at #2... Fourteen of his seventy five charted records with duets, seven with Sherry Brych, two with Bill Phillips, two with Nancy Sinatra, and one each with Bob Wills, Webb Pierce, and Glen Campbell... Lonnie Melvin 'Mel' Tillis passed away at the age of 85 on November 19th, 2017... May he R.I.P.
When he says "Hey, baby," it reminds me of Butt-Head, though I'm not lumping them together. I've lived in West Virginia all my life, and remember buying the 45 of this record at a mall in Paramus, NJ, on 4-14-79. I forget the name of the record store.
This was the first song I heard from Mel Tillis in September of 1977, while brushing my teeth and getting ready for my first day of Kindergarten. My Mom had the radio on in the kitchen and loved this song. Still do. Mel Tillis took this classic to #3 on the Billboard country chart in the fall of 1977. I thought this hit #1. I know "I Got The Hoss" hit #1 on the Radio & Records country singles chart for Mel Tillis.
I never figured out how it takes a man five minutes to complete a sentence, never skip a beat when he's got a guitar in his hands. Beats the hell out of me, but thank the Lord for Mel. He is sure is funny too
Mel explained it to Dave Letterman on late night, it has to do with right brain, left brain. I don't care how or why, just glad it happened to and for Mel during my lifetime.
@@JWGauntt they want to put real talent on the shelf these days. I know a well known Nashville recording artist personally, and the type of music he wants to write and perform, they wouldn't give any airtime to so he had to conform to Nashville, which is not really Nashville it's Hollywood.
It means both he and his girl friend like riding on the same horse and she lends him the use of her saddle, and they mostly like to ride at night. Ha ha, no mystery here.
Just a happy little tune by the great Mel Tillis . Had fun as always with his music and comedy act. He put his stuttering to a good use. Can't imagine life without Mel
