This is a great don Gibson sing a long, so many of his songs must appeal to closet singers like me! Long live Don Gibson , many thanks for all these great posts. The best thing that ever came from America is Country music! I love it all!
Chet Atkins surrounded Don Gibson's lyric genius with the best musicians and backup singers Nashville could offer. What's hard to realize today is that Gibson had huge problems with drugs and alchohol that defeated his live performances. What we have to remember him by are his marvelous RCA recordings from the sixties.
@tarquin45 I pretty much agree but then I was also buying Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Earnest Tubb, Hank Snow, Hank Locklin, Merl Haggard, Faron Young, Skeeter Davis, Wanda jackson, Jean Sheperd, I pretty much loved all the country singers then, theres loads more I never mentioned!
Why wasnt this guy known more??? I dont understand why he wasnt truly recognized for his music genius until his latter years or upon his death. What did he do that he wasnt on TV or in the entertainmnet industry. I'd like to find out more about his life.
@jkoolful . I'm happy enough to be proud I bought Don's music in his lifetime and we should all be happy that Don and all the other great singers now live on- forever enshrined here on YOU TUBE- Long live this format! thanks for all this great music.
Great song. First time I've heard it from him. I can't remember the other singer who sung this one. Even if I don't remember the first singer who sung this, Don's version is as good as it gets. Very nice song. Thanks.
On February 13th, 1961 "What About Me" entered Billboard Hot Top 100 for one week and peaked at No. 100!!!

The highlights of the 60's musically for me was the next Robbins, Reeves or Gison 45 or album.
