Bobby Goldsboro - California Wine w/ LYRICS

[flixer1957]

I love digging up treasures like this on YouTube--and of much better quality than my scratchy old played-to-death LP's and 45's.

MANY THANKS!!!

Agreed, he had many little known hits. He was a much better singer than he was ever known. Sad thing how some great singers can get little exposure, and some pittiful singers can become super-stars...

BG fan forever, not a week goes by that I don't stop, listen and appreciate the man, singer, songwriter, entertainer, good person he is.

[TheDoniker]

Bobby was a great songwriter.Another from his pen.I recall his playing "THe Top Of The World" at Walt Disney World circa 1973 .The club was at the top of the Contemporary Resort.

[LesP56]

Very nice. Great song. I'd love to have the tab or the chords or anything on that. I can't find it anywhere.

God I miss him

[DancingSpiderman]

To all you YourTube listeners who don't know who yer dad is, Bobby Goldsboro was singing about YER MOM.

[ruedydude]

One of my favorite BG songs! I never get tired listening to this song...I wish somebody would post Bobby's jingle to Wylers lemonade, that was a very catchy tune in the 70's

[giffeym]

Loved this song the first time I heard it on his 10th Anniversay Greatest Hits 8 track (Yes, I am that old). Thank you so much for posting it!

[golfinbill]

i also have the 8-track and yes i'm that old too

[1bobbygoldsborofan]

Thanks to everyone who posts Bobby's music. It is wonderful to continue to hear him to this day.

great song

[Schwangers]

Fabulous. One of the most under appreciated songs of all time. Beautiful music, great lyrics. Goldsboro himself is very underrated as well.

[pasitolobo]

I am enjoying the bright sunshine and california wine...Rock and Vine....

[jekiwe]

certainly one of the better songwriters of our time. his words always painted a vivid picture for me. this song is a favorite of mine and of listeners to my radio show. it was never a big hit, but should have been.

thank you for thinking about it and including it here.

[bgfanWithPenInHand]

Thanks for the GREAT words about Bobby Goldsboro !!!!! Where's your radio show ??

[jekiwe]

My radio show emanates from PA. It is a country formatted FM station but allows a six hour Saturday night window for older stuff. I'm quite proud of the show as it gives listeners in our part of the Commonwealth, Delaware and Maryland...and anyone who picks it up streaming on the worldwide web, the opportunity to hear the music others have forgotten...much of it is the 'roots' of country. The 50's, 60's up through the 80s. A good mix if I must say so myself. Thanks for asking!

Bobby Goldsboro is sadly remembered for dreck such as "Honey" instead of great stuff such as "Brand New Kind Of Love," "Summer the First Time" and of course, "California Wine."

[whippedcreamshampoo]

He has many great, little-known songs, most of which he wrote. He didn't write Honey, but I think it's a good song too. Just too bad, as you say, that's about all most people get to know of him.

[bgfanWithPenInHand]

What a great story-song, one of my favorites !! In my world, Bobby Goldsboro is a singer-songwriter beyond compare. FYI - He has an Official Website with a gallery of his paintings. He also has a concert coming up.

[whippedcreamshampoo]

And he has a real MySpace page! Surely he'll get onto YouTube sooner or later.
