Merle Haggard Biography 

Never before been one as great and I don’t think it will ever be one to beat him! ❤️

Many times i have driven cross country singing along with Merle and George Jones. They made my trips much easier...

Merle is the man of country music seen him in Richmond va and got his autograph .BEST SHOW EVER ♥️

I love hearing him sing. Been Listening to him since I was 16

I grew up listening to Merle Haggard thanks to my dad having a jukebox in our living room. His songs all have a special meaning to me. Each one different. I was fortunate enough to see Marty Haggard do a concert in Oakdale, CA and still have the photo that we took together. R I P Merle. Great documentary. Thanks for posting.

George Jones said Merle Haggard is his favorite singer that should tell you how great he is, when George Jones said it

The best Damn country music singer ever lived

What a great country singer with an interesting life. Thank you for uploading this.

Don't worry about the sound being off man I still appreciate you putting this up, ole Merle was a hell of a man.

Saw him several times and miss him! A true legend in his own right. God bless him for the music. 🎶💙😎

I loved Merle Haggard!! Got the honor of seeing him play live here in Grand Junction, CO.!! And I am honored to have the same birthday as Merle!! April 6th!!!

I Love the man,Love the music.x

A true western cowboy. Merle brought the Bakersfield sound worldwide and showed everybody bout it. He was deadlier than Johnny Cash and erebody. Merle is a classic example of what it means to be from the west. The real west. California was a hell of place to grow up. Rest easy Merle. You will not be forgotten.

I love seeing pictures of young Merle, he was good looking from the start! Very good looking parents, and he was talented from a very young age.

The thing about Merle and The Strangers, is that Merle always made sure to recognise the band members and back up singers and he always made sure to let them have a solo to showcase their talents.

Merle was the best there ever was

As a novelist, I always wanted to write a song. The more I thought about it, the more I studied the work of Merle Haggard. Merle Haggard was one of the first albums I ever remember hearing and I love his music even more as I've grown older.

One of my favorites there is nothing like country music ❤😊

He really needs a biopic of his life. He has the voice, songwriting and life experiences, that no one else can touch.

He was the greatest singer of all time. . He lived the life he sang about. There will never be another even close to him.

MERLE is my no 1 man .FOREVER. FANTASTIC voice .There shall never be another MERLE. His unique style voice. Fabulous xx❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Merle was the best!

my favorite ever. I can’t express into words my appreciation for this man. The absolute best there ever was

Like a snowball headed for Helll.was a good song.🙏😊💖 he had too many good ones to list. At 14 I ran with rockers but listened to okee from muskogee 🤣🤣🛸🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲💞

The Hag…Always was a still is my favorite country singer. I wanted to meet him so badly but never could afford a concert. But my prayers of meeting Merle Haggard almost came to fruition when I was flying home from California to Seattle. As luck would have it, I ended up on the same flight as Merle Haggard! I spotted My hero in first class on the way to the restroom. I decided in the rest room that I was going to speak to him on the way back to my seat. As I passed his seat, I froze. The words wouldn’t come. I kept walking without meeting Merle Haggard. But fate afforded me another chance. I found myself on the escalator to baggage standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Haggard. Once again, I tried to speak. Nothing came out. We ended up at the carousel in baggage; side by side. I couldn’t believe my hero, the country western giant, was collecting his own luggage! No entourage? I loved that. He was so real; just like me. Well, not quite. I knew this was the last chance to speak to my hero; Merle Haggard. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t find my voice. I grabbed my luggage from the carousel and started for my car. Looking back over my shoulder I finally found my voice. “I love you” I whispered. Then Mr. Haggard slowly faded from my view. It’s a day I will never forget. The day I almost met “The Hag.”

He will ever be for getting I ju love watching his videos and song and music 🎶🎶 miss you my friend play love your music all night Lena from Jellico Tennessee

You know Merle was great and a legend if Willie sees him as such.RIP The Hag

I seen Merle live fabulous show ❤

Hes a true country bad boy with a great sound

If you look it up. The man was the original OG outlaw country hag was it. True friend to the common Man.

it's be great if the sound wasn't off.

what a talent..

Merle is my favorite country feller.

True country 😊🥰💖

The poet of the common man 🎶🎸💯

Good biography of Merle but unfortunately the video often didn't match what was being talked about at the moment. It would also have been nice to hear what was being said by eveyone in the video.

Love ,Hag,song&song writer,love his,voice❤❤🎉

LOVE YOU FOREVER.YOU ARE MY BEST..💖💖🙏🙏🙏R.I.P

I hauled a load of Barn lumber to "Silver Thorne" on the south shore once in the 80s, I saw a Man with brown hair and a beard. I couldn't quite place Him as I was new in N. Cal. I thought about if I saw Him in S./W. Mt, but I didn't ask as I was busy getting both trailers unloaded. When I got back to the truck yard in Yuba City and was handing in My "bill of lading", etc. The truck boss asked how I liked delivering the lumber to Merle Haggard as He was building a bar in His new place‼ Yup❗ G-G ~ 🪶

All guys are singing in heaven

A shame the audio is jacked up on this story of one the greatest

He was a great singer

Grew up looking at this guy and a role model. Never knew his background.

"The Real Deal"...tanks for sharing

Unwatchable due to audio synchronization.

If George Jones was a slightly better singer (more ornamentals, etc) than Merle, Merle was head and shoulders a better and more prolific songwriter. What an amazing catalog of songs. Merle was Vince Gill's all-time favorite. That's good enough for me!

Love you dad. Miss you heaps. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great video but the audio is off

Omg he looks just like noel here Fantastic singer

I think I watch these because or the narrator

awesome

A musical genius

Wow,

I loved Merle, This video was edited terribly.

Why does this have video of people talking but no sound ?

❤

Long live Oildale!

lov u big man,,,i saw ever concert u ever played w.in driving distance of lou,my BIG BRO DON put my 2nd wife on WILLIE

He was born in a Hospital then went home which his Father. Bought Amen

Wow looked for so many vids like this on Merle. Where is this from?

Imteresting

🖤

Such a good documentary however the editing was terrible.. the voice and video lagged so the two stopped matching up later in the video 🙄

Ciao ottimo video! Ho un problema,non riesco ad accoppiarvi il mio Midland BTX2 PRO2. Tu sapresti aiutarmi? Grazie

Merle has made many contradictory comments on Ojie from Muscogee(Okie)

Fabulous but needs vocals synconised

The audio is terrible

👍

HAG IS NO DOUBT THE GREATEST

Wow, the audio is terrible.

Get the sound n picture of this in sync

What's with the silence starting at 1:09?? Wassupwid the sound track not in sync with the lips of the people talking??? It is no wonder why you have so few subs. Bye.

We wont see his likes again

Too bad the sound isn't in sync with most of this video...

not bad for a milker,good vid

FIX THE AUDIO!!!!!!!!

The sound is off track

Great material but oddly produced. Why show people being interviewed as backup to the narrator droning on? When Okie came out, not all his fans were righties. We knew he did not smoke marijuana...in Muskogee What a pity his double album tributes to Jimmie Rodgers and Bob Wills were omitted. He introduced a bew generation to these seminal artusts

He was from oildale? Thats the most low down white city ever

WHO CORRUPTED THE INTERVIEWS/VOICES ON THIS.

He escaped 17 facilities. Not 13.

Bruh lmao

9o ppl

Good historical info on Merle but this video seems so disjointed. The narration does not fit the video.

Merle's WONDERFUL!!!! But people are talking, in an interview, maybe???? Then there is a narrator yacking!!! Also, the lips don't match what he's saying!!! This was VERY POORLY DONE AND MERLE DESERVED A WHOLE LOT BETTER!!!!!🤬🤬🤬

Audio off. Sorry, cannot watch this.

L

He looks very haggard in his later years, doesn't he?

With all due respect, Conway Twitty is it

/watching a merle haggard doc, and a charlie pride doc in the same day, really makes the merle doc seem way overblown , less humble than it should be, merle is cool , but he is no charlie pride

Would be great if audio was Synced up.😒

His mama tried to raise him better
