When asked what he thought of the remake Gus Cannon stated, "I don't care what they do with it as long as they keep sending them checks." From Wikipedia: The success of the song was a boon to Cannon, who was in his late 70s and had been forced to pawn his banjo the previous winter to pay his heating bill; he received royalties as a songwriter and saw renewed interest in his music, which led to a recording contract of his own.[3]

"You fill up my senses, like a night in a forest". I could never imagine hearing John Denver's "Annie's Song" played on a six string. Another unique sound is that from Roger Hodgson (SuperTramp) "Give a little bit". George Harrison (Beatles) "Hard days night". And of course Rod Stewart "Maggie May". This of course in addition to all the songs by Rush, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, The Byrds, Pink Floyd, Boston, Jon Bon Jovi, and all those long-haired friends of jesus from the Summer of Love and Woodstock era.

Absolutely... the 12 string was the perfect choice for Annie's Song. It just fits the atmosphere and vibe of the song so well.

" Walk Right In" That's what sparked the whole 12 string thing! For a start it was a big world-wide hit and McGuinn -being part of the folky scene -would have been very familiar with it.

Totally agree... the list could use more Beatles... If I do a Part #2 video " You Cant Do That" or " Hard Days Night" will have to be on the list. Hotel California is tricky one. Arguably the biggest 12 string song...but the Eagles are notorious RU-vid blockers, so theres always the fear that even if you play a few seconds of their song, the whole video will be blocked. www.iheart.com/content/2020-07-22-eagles-have-60-people-policing-the-internet-for-unlawful-use-of-their-music/

Too bad about the blockers, indeed. It’s silly and selfish. A band like Eagles could enrich themselves even more (if that’s possible) by allowing the general public to hear their music unfettered. Album sales, streaming, all of it would increase and also help change their image as selfish and more than egotistical - if there is such a thing. Love their music; personalities, not so much except for Joe Walsh. He’s a different cat than Henley, et al.

I don't disagree with any of your choices, so I'll add two of mine and make it the top 14: "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin -- but then you already have 2 songs by Zep. That's the obvious one; the second goes way back to the days of folk music in 1962, and therefore maybe a little obscure: "Walk Right In" by the Rooftop Singers. I was 14 in '62 so I remember it well -- a 12-string classic of the day.

Back in the 1960’s I found a copy of Walk Right In by the Cannon Jug Stompers in my parents 78 record collection. My mother was a Gennett (Gennett Records who recorded Gus Cannon on other recordings). The melody was pretty much the same as the’63 version without the beautiful 12 string runs. I am very familiar with all the 12 string renditions following the very early 60’s and feel they are great in themselves. I have had 4 12 string guitars (one made by Spider John Koerner, my neighbor in Rochester NY) but slowly and reluctantly abandoned them because of laziness in changing strings and tuning.

Good choice...that one completely slipped my mind when I was putting the list together...but it would definitely be a great option if I make a Part #2 video.

Without Genesis and Anthony Phillips 12 string songs, you could title this video "Most famous", not the "Top"

A great compilation here, I'm looking for 12 string songs having recently bought the Digitech Mosaic (Yes! I know it's cheating...but it's fun). Why are some people so rude with their comments, you handled the feedback very well..cheers

Genesis - Entangled from Trick of the Tale album. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Including magnificent 12-string sound.

Great video and really great playing. Great choices as well. I know most people may not find this the greatest 12 string song, but I think Zep influenced "Who's Behind the Door" by Zebra makes great use of the instrument.

I live in Thibodaux, LA. I've seen Zebra locally countless times. Randy Jackson would also do a solo concert too. I love that band. They were based in New Orleans but moved to New York City.

Absolutely. It was tough narrowing the list down to just 12. If I ever do a Part #2, will definitely have to toss in some Yes and Genesis tunes.

so many good 12 string licks in the old folk music period Lightfoot especially. For me it was the 12 string sound on the 1964 song "It's Gonna Be Alright" by Gerry and the Pacemakers..

Enjoyed the video. Got a chuckle when you mentioned that SRV recorded Life by the Drop "before his death." Certainly would've been an even bigger hit if he'd recorded it afterward.
