Boy oh boy what a voice. Back when singers had true talent and not remastered studio work. This man live is just unbelievable. One of my top 5 voices of all times.
Man did you ever get that right. It's 7 in the morning and I heard this song and is it raining at your house last night in my dreams. It seems like all night. Woke up first thing search it up on RU-vid and here I am. That led me to you even before my maccoffee. Good morning
Yup! Back then when ya heard em com on the radio ya knew when the hell it was singing. This new crap they all are just jammed together. They all sound the same and the songs aren't country at all!
Just wow. This may be the perfect country songs sung by the perfect country singer.... Call me an old fart but this is just miles ahead of anything coming out this day and age
Yeah every night I run a needle through Walkin the Floor. Great writing and singing. I could listen to that tune over and over .Well done. Love the steel and Vern's voice beautiful Beautiful ❤
A legend. His phrasing and range at 2:00 is evidence of this man's vocal prowess. Vern and George Jones may be the only two country singers in history with such expressive vocal talents.
First time ever seeing who Vern Gosdin even is. Grew up in bars and this tyle of Country Music is all I heard. I listen to it daily on my XM radio, Willy's Road house..... HOOAH!!!
This is a brilliant song. And I'd bet that if you played this song on country radio now, 90% of the listeners would not understand a single line in the lyrics.
Optimistic note: audiences are wider than you may think. They'd get one hearing of that Voice and check the references on google, youtube etc. I teach young folk and many listen to 40s, 50s, 60s music as well as current stuff
I have to agree Ronald. My 20 year old son introduced me to “I am my own Grandpa”. But I also introduced him to HEE HAA”. When I thought he was old enough!!
@@ronaldlevao8251 The lyrics are kind of cryptic if you'r not versed in it. Most people may know "Victrola" as an old record player. They don't know it was a jukebox. And Google E.T. and you'll get a space alien, not the Texas Troubador.
How could they let half the shit they are playing these days out on that stage...what a tragedy! Vern is the man! "1951" never sounded so good! Top 5 country songs all time...thanks for posting!
Vern's voice was like fresh peanut butter - smooth. He gets on the stage and looks so effortless. Many singers look like they're straining and having difficulty singing a song. Vern singing to an audience was no different than talking to a friend a foot away from him.
What would we do without the recordings? Perfection in voice, style and instruments doesn't exist in country now, but these videos are priceless. They proved its possible, but you gotta be COUNTRY.
The Voice! And a most fitting moniker. Vern Gosdin was of course a highly successful hard country singer but his contribution to the developments of Country Rock should not be forgotten. Together with younger brother Rex, The Gosdin Brothers spend the mid/ late 1960s as a country rock act and released the superb Sounds Of Goodbye album on Capitol Records in 1968.
Awww, what a fantastic thing it certainly is to hear him singing. Certainly one of the most famous Nashville guys; could sit and listen to Vern ‘til dawn. Great guy and his music will last for eons!! Loved hearing Vern sing!
First time I ever heard , "The Voice" was on the radio singing this song. I have written a song simply called, "The Voice" in tribute to Vern for a cd I will be releasing in the near future! I remember watching this clip on TNN back in 1991.
My house has windows, gutters and siding this man installed during his retirement from music. One of the best dang guys I ever met! One of his family members stole him blind and he had no choice but to return to music...
Country to The Bone ! The Voice...that Steel makes a fella won't to pat that boot are slide across the dance floor Shinning a belt buckle ! ol couple way down in TX jd
Hell yea! real county music! One of the best memories. I was just real little when this song came out. Dad had the 45rpm and we loved it. I always had dad to "run a needle through" set em up joe. I miss that music and those days.
'The Voice'! And a great song. I wish there were still a few people that could still just serve the song and let their voice perform instead of focusing on styling at the microphone.
