Great pictorial tribute of Tom at the "Tamale King". A friend said they had hired Tom in San Antonio for a dinner theater gig. I guess he was in San Antonio at the time of his passing. One of the greats. He was so strong and subtle with Rick Nelson and Buck and the Desert Rose Band and etc, etc. Glad he was inducted to the Steel Guitar Players hall of fame (Texas and Intl.).
You'll never hear this #1 country classic on any country oldies station-which is a damn shame. They think Buck had only 2 hits- "Tiger By The Tail" and "Act Naturally". Outside of those two songs -they ( programmers) literally have no clue. He was the #1 selling country artist of 1960's. To put in perspective for you- sort of like the Garth Brooks of the 60's. We miss ya Buck.
If we don't get Nashvilles attention soon there won't be any more country as we know and love. It is a shame how it has been trashed by freaking hip hop and rap. Yea they have there place but it's just not with country.
@videoeer Yeah Don and Buck they do sing harmony as family members do but as we all well know they might as well have been brothers cos there was a love there that was probably just as strong. Watching these videos puts a lump in the throat these two were truly great and unequalled. To have Don Rich by your side must have been the ultimate and his perpetual smile was infectious.
Another #1 hit for Buck Owens on the Country & Western charts. It was the 88th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. At this point, there is no doubt that Buck Owens was establishing himself as a force on the Country Music scene.
Wow, is he ever a lot young and younger looking there.
Speaking of him, truthfully, Buck was one of a kind, and, one day and happily, there will never be another Buck as the likes of him will be seen again one day as we do get born again in the spiritual world again hopefully. There will forever and ever again be another Don Rich and Buck Owens!
The past is never gone, it's forever coming back again one day and time will also run backward again one day, YAHOO!!! :) :) :)
@COWBOYMACLEOD Also listen to that unique pedal steel guitar from Tom Brumley , who could have thought steel guitar could be part of Bucks music until this stylist came along. One of the greatest ( and possibly the first ) "super" bands in country music history along with Emmylous "Hot band" and Ricky Skaggs 80s country band .
@JayBBluejay Tom Brumley passed away a couple of years ago , cancer got him . If anyone likes steel guitar google "The steel guitar forum" you can read all the posts without joining, loads of information on there, all the top players are members as Tom Brumley was and post all the time, Paul Franklin often contributes Buddy Emmons also posts , Buddy is now officially retired.
@brumleyshow Rolene, I do apologise, I dont know how i got it so wrong, probably late at night when I wasn't thinking properly.
Im from England and I never got to meet any of the great players but from being on the steel forum I know Tom is a very special man in everyones memory, you can always measure a mans stature by his friends .
Here over the pond we never got to see any of this great music until you tube came along we could only get it on records. Best wishes, Alan.
@pedalman Im just adding to my own post here from some months ago... I got this so wrong and I apologise, Tom didnt have cancer at all. I was probably posting late at night and my brain was working worse than normal .....again apologies if my mistake caused upset especially to Toms family.
@pedalman Oh, that's fine, Alan. I just wanted everyone to know the truth. I understand.!! It really makes no difference how he passed, the fact is, that you made is that he was a very special man.!! And that he was. I do wish you could have met him. There will never be another man like him, kind, talented, and the best husband and father in the the world. He is really missed.

Don Rich left this world way too soon and if he lived Country Music would still be country today.
Buck Owens could sing a good song...but it was Don Rich that helped his career move along.
Thank you and God Bless Classic Country Music.

This is one great example of the humour in so many Buck Owens' songs. Laughing through his tears.

@wdt9801 So was Willie Cantu, Tom Brumley, and Doyle Holly. I believe that Willie Cantu is the only one of these Buckaroos in this clip still living.
