great song..wish connie smith and connie francis had sung it

[davebob65]

im sayin brother bob wrote this song will lee ross

[oldtexasmusic]

@davebob65 Bob Wills (or someone in his family or band) wrote the song and recorded it first. Ray Price had a huge hit in 1957 of the song and many others recorded it.

One of my favourite songs, sung a litttle different from other versions i've heard, but enjoyed listening very much.

Thankyou Marc for all these oldie gems you post.

@geena6 Since this was the first version, the others had a chance to improve, especially Ray Prices version. LOLL!!!

One of my favorites Thank you Marcus*****S

[oldtexasmusic]

@jtls8 Classic stuff. The stars are nice.

Like BABSINUK, I assumed that Bob Wills was the singer, until I read the comments on the other video pages. I like this singer!

George

[oldtexasmusic]

@pastore0506 Sorry to tell you but I do not remember his full name. Bob calls him Lee on 2 occasions in the song. Maybe one of our hip on western swing listeners will know the full name.

[beanpole5]

@oldtexasmusic His name was Lee Ross. He wrote the song for Bob Wills

[oldtexasmusic]

@beanpole5 Your input is most welcome. Thank you so much.

[BABSINUK]

Hi,what a lovely voice Bob Wills has on this song,lovely song ,love the piano,but would prefer not to hear that little voice in the background,LOL.

[oldtexasmusic]

@BABSINUK Barbara, LOLL!!! The vocalist is not Bob Wills but the voice you hear in the background (the one making the wisecracks) IS Bob Wills. That was Bob's thing at the time. He had several vocalists in the life of the Texas Playboys and (in my opinion) Tommy Duncan was the best.This vocalist was not Tommy Duncan.

[BABSINUK]

@oldtexasmusic Hi,was definitely confused,LOL.liked this singer very much,also Tommy Duncan,Do what you are good at Bob,just play the fiddle.LOL.

[oldtexasmusic]

@BABSINUK Bob's wisecracks and yahooing throughout the song was his schtick and all Bob Wills lovers learned to recognize him by that feature. There were literally dozens of western swing bands back in the 30s and 40s and many of them were very good, but Bob became the most recognized.

[weeyin1155]

Thank you Marcus. I love this wonderful song. A special delivery has just been sent as a big thank you my friend...Jan and Susan ♥

[oldtexasmusic]

@weeyin1155 Glad you like it Jan.

I can remember this music from when I was a little kid,a uncle of mine was the only one in the family who has a Grammofoon (pickup) with shellack records,that was fun !!

Jean.

[oldtexasmusic]

@reiziger63 Yes, I can remember the 78s and wind-up grammophone with Bob, Jimmie Davis, Gene Autry, Jimmie Rodgers and some others,.
