admiro a este hombre, mi padre que en paz descanse desde que hera niña me enseño sus canciones. y cada vez que las escucho el dia de hoy me hacen recordar cosas bellas de mi infancia. thank you for this magic miusic.
If I remember correctly Ernest had some type of throat surgery when he was younger and it affected his vocal chords...hence the unmistakeable sound. It's fun trying to emulate the way he sings.
Yes he was, he died of emphysema, I have suffered the same deepening of singing voice due to smoking, but in ET's case, and the Possum too, you gotta drink alot of booze and smoke alot to sing that damn good.......
my aunt was married to ernest tubb and my other aunt has picture of him in his casket

probably jimmie rodgers, ET was a big fan of his but some question remains as to the original author.

No question remains as to the original author -- it's Eddie Miller (1946). Ray Price and Kitty Wells had the definitive versions. Screw Humperdink.
