  • I had the good fortune to see Vern at the New River Valley Fair in 1992.Missed him in Lynchburg,VA,figured hed be back,but his health took a turn.There'll never be a voice like his again!!!!

  • "The Voice"  a legend....

  • I bet this was filmed on the George Jones show that was on TNN back then? Good stuff. Todays country is getting a schooling by the Voice!!

  • when vern had the right ballad it sang it better than anyone....no one of the so called new country could come close...they mid as well call them selfs rock or crap..vern was great

  • one of my favorites

  • Today`s country singer song writters think the audiences are Stupid they attempt to tell a life story over and over detaIL PER DETAIL ; Old country tells it in just a few words and "Gets er done" and moves on ! A great story teller makes you feel it not Hear it !

  • My God ,what happened to country music, this is what it's all about

  • Thanks to all the great Fans for keeping The Voice alive.

  • you did well vern

  • Country music has left the building (and we sure do miss you)

    R.I.P (V.G)

  • Comment removed

  • this is my absolute favorite by Vern...been listening to him for a long time and he will be sorely missed RIP :( such a great man and that voice...my god just gives me chills everytime i come back and listen

  • 1999 TNN wasn't on TV, maybe '89...

  • @beermanTX

    TNN was on from 1983 - 2000, when it became the National Network.

  • Can someone tell me whats wrong with Brads version of this. I thought he does it more than justice but thats just my uneducated opinion.

  • WOW! Just think of the concert that good Lord has every day with the likes of Twitty, Cash, Presley, Gosdin, West, Wynette, Paycheck, just to name a few.

  • did someone say there was something wrong with brad's version? do you not get , that this is where Brad got it from?

  • you know, all these new "country" singers think the are the best thing to ever hit "country music". well in my own opinion and hopefully most if not all of yalls, they should go back and listen to Tom T hall or Waylon jennings, Hank Sr, Mr Vern Gosdin, Randy Travis, Keith Whitley, Mr. George Jones, And Johnny Cash. All are the best country music singers of all time. We need to get back to the REAL Country music!!!!!!! Long live the great REAL COUNTRY!!!!! Thank god for all these men and women!!!

  • vern was the greatest singer of all time. im 23 and never got to c him. my dad did he said it was great.

  • 17 teen years i tought i lost BUT I DID NOT I GOT MY DAUGHTER AND MY 2 GRANDBOYS OUT OFF IT WOULD NOT HAVE MISSED IT FOR THE WORLD I LOVE YOU NIK DADDY WILL ALWAYS BE HERE 4 YOU ,.,.,.,.,.,.,AND THIS IS TO ALL THE BROKEN HARTS THEY WILL MEND IN TIME THIS GOSE TO A FRIND JR I NO HOW U FEEL DUDE

  • Had dinner with Vern one night in Nashville. I have to say he was crazy fun. A real character. We all sat in the restaurant with menus on our heads like tents. It was a Japanese restaurant and one of the guys hid the giant bowl of rice and threw the waitress off. They talked about stealing the shoes of the people sitting at the table next to us. It was a great nice and Vern was one funny guy.

  • So I love this song and Vern!!!

  • My family and I will always love Vern's music. Picture this- a week of golf, chicken wings, billiards, dive bars, country music, in a place that we call home (Elyria Ohio). We did it for about 10yrs (1984-94)...and Vern played a significant role. Thanks!

  • So beautiful,see you on the flip side my friend Lord willing.

  • Thanks to all the great fans for showing your appreciation.

    Vern dearly loved his fans. Hail to The Voice of Country Music.

  • Thank the Opry for pissin on the greats and Nashville radio that silenced Gosdin,Cash,Haggard,Jones,Jenn­ings and many more in 1980's so they could change true country music to pop country. {bigger crouds} Nashville ran bluegrass off in the 50's same way. Everytime I hear todays pop country on a radio I turn it off. I dont listen to that Trashville musuck of today. Nashville only cares about money, not good music and they forgot who put them on the map yrs ago. Kiss my ass Nashville!

  • @SUPERBWON The younger generations are sick of the modern country garbage, which only represents a small market. The young people of today are referring back to the country legends and want to hear Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Charley Pride and Vern Gosdin. They're sick of the garbage Nashville is releasing, because it's not cool anymore, nor is it pleasing to the human ear.

  • @SUPERBWON Is this Hank Jr's account lol. Couldn't agree more

  • @SUPERBWON I'll second that, and thats why I went back to buegrass, get it on siris radio, its worth the fee. you can get some on rapsody and itunes as well. bluegrass it taking over.

  • @SUPERBWON

    I had to look twice and make sure I didn't make your post . I fucking despise : Jason Aldean , Kenny Chesney , Taylor Swift , Zac Brown , Rascal Flatts , Carrie Underwood , and all of their clones . Vern took shits with more heart than these hacks .

  • the voice!  enough said

  • I cannot remember when in my 55 years I first heard Vern, don't matter I listen to his music everyday for years he has moved me like noone else EVER!

  • No one like Vern. My mom introduced me to his music, and I can't hear him without thinking of her.

  • I love this song so much I hate it. I listen to it everyday. I miss my woman. She left because I am an asshole. Not because I cheated was boozing it up, but just for being myself. Only me being me. What a great man I am.

  • i heard this song hundreds of times but to see him do it just as good live!! oh my poor lil heart.

  • Great song Don't you think?

  • Thanks to all the fans for your help keeping the memory alive.

    Hale to The Voice !!

  • @verngosdin yes i agree with that..HALE TO THE VOICE !!!

    he was one of my favorite singers..i just love this man's voice..

  • Thank you!

  • Wasn't he great !!!!!.....Ranks right up there with George J....He had a very long and successful career.....Wish i could have seen him live.....

  • I miss TNN, they had some good shows

  • My wife suggested I listen to this. I believe she still loves me.

  • @cec163k And, I still love her.

  • My all time Vern Gosdin song. Brad does an awesome job also. I,ve started covering the song with my band & solo shows & get a great responce from it. Tons of new country fans have never heard it. Vern was a great artist. We all miss him & his music. I,ll post my cover soon I hope.

  • Had several strokes before this performance ..slowed his walk but not "THE VOICE"

    MY FAVORITE SINGER EXCEPT JC  SCATTER THE CLOUDS VERN!!!

  • THE VOICE..that about does it dont it.!

  • Vern has a voice that seeps deep into your soul. He instantly transforms your mood to fit the song he is singing. RIP Vern Gosden

  • You will be missed Vern, God blessed you with a voice to touch people with your songs, and let me say you have done so with out question, your greatest man, God Bless Ya and Rest In Peace knowing the Angles are singing your songs rite there with ya man. You will be missed!!!

  • vern gosdin passed away in 2009. He has one of the most unique voices i've ever heard. his songs are very movin.

  • Funny how a song can take you back to another time and place. this is one of those songs that does just that for me. a little red head named Rhonda , seems so long ago.........thxs for the memories Mr. Gosdin may you be resting in peace....Reb

  • east texas and Hendrick PLEASE SHUT UP!!!!!

  • love it.. I do a cover of this song.. I hope he doesn't mind....

  • Nice Job Vern... Rest In Peace...

  • he will always live in his song and my heart.....he is country...what we need more of.

  • Is it just me...or can you listen to this music without feeling a little meloncoly. It's Sunday morning in Baytown Tx. and I'm doing tears.

  • One of his best songs! RIP Vern! We miss you in country music! <3

  • Great song. Best in the world.

  • Please don't put brad paisley in the same sentence as Vern Gosdin. Have you heard brad paisley live? Terrible

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 Brad terrible live? Not the 4 times ive seen him. Hes not the Eagles as far as a good mix in the building but then again who is? Brad did an excellent cover of this. You must be a wannabe guitar player who jealous or something.

  • @Hendrick4404 Not a guitar player there Hendrick, is that your best crack at being a wannabe comedian? I am however a country music fan and Vern Gosdin has one of the top 5 voices of all time....Brad Paisley lmfao....Sounds like every other bum trashville comes out with these days..

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 Every other bum huh? Yeah he sounds just like Rascal Flatts, or Glorianna or Jimmy Wayne. Yeah he really sounds like them. Once again you proved my point about you knowing zero about music. He writes the songs, plays the songs, and sings the songs. Having many number one hits and albums. But he does NOT sound like everyone else. Secondly, you cant really compare Vern and Brad. My point was about Brad's cover of the song.

  • @Hendrick4404 Just this year in lovelady texas ive seen and talkied to Johhny Rodriquez and Moe Bandy.......In Huntsville texas ive seen bellamy brothers, john conlee, david allan coe. Your prolly just some douch that lives in oregon or something.

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 Ive played with the Bellamy's man. Seriously, im begging you not to make a total ass out of yourself. Just stop please just stop. Ill make an ass out of you if i have to but i really dont want to.

  • @Hendrick4404 You keep stating that you play the guitar and thats the reason you know some much about country music?? Whats your name ill google you. So if i told you i play the fiddle would that trump your guitar....I took 3 years worth of lessons from MIke Hartz..Google him. He won the world Championsip Fiddle contest in the early 90's......Dude bring whatever country knowledge you have and i will crush you.....Florida...lol what famous country singers are from florida?

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 What would you like to debate asshole? Message me with something. Lets not bore people with your pointless comments. Just message me with whatever you would like to debate?

  • @Hendrick4404 Best Voices of all Time in country music....Vern Gosdin, ETC, Keith Whitley, Conway, Darrell Singletary, Johhny Paycheck. Best Country Song of all time....Old Violin Johhny Paycheck.....Buddy Im 28 years and know that......Brad Paisley lol

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 Well that didnt make any sense. Your 28 years old? if your only 28 you have a lot to learn. Darrell Singletary in the same list as Conway Twitty and Keith Whitley? I mean he's good and all but seriously? You just keep proving my point the more and more you type.

  • @Hendrick4404 Darrell Singletary is prolly the most underated country singer of all time Hendrick....If Singletary came along in the 70's or 80's he would have been one of the biggest of all time.....actually alot of people that know a thing or two country music have stated the same thing.....so no you just keep proving what i nim whit you are

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 you obiousiouly have you tube....look up darrell singletary singing old violin......If that doesnt make you mad at what nashville as caused you to miss then your not even worth talking to anymore........

  • @Hendrick4404 Your out of your leauge buddy.....Where are you from again?

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 Im out of my league? I am from NorthEast Florida but Nashville is my home, country music is what i live, breath, sleep and eat. Im a professional guitar player in Nashville. Thats right i play with the big boys and girls who you seem to know so much about. This is a youtube account i use to mess with tools like you who think God gave you everything he knows.

  • @Hendrick4404 Ive actually studied most country singers...lets see Don williams which is from taft texas worked as a gas station attenedent making 25 cents an hour when discovered......David allan Coe really did kill a man in prison for trying to rap him....I saw Gary Stewarts last live show at shennagins before he blew his face off......You know the king of honkey tonk....buddy you fucked with the wrong red neck

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 You've studied most country singers? Wow your such a genius. Bow down to the master!  ha ha ha ha ha! Get real. I fucked with the wrong redneck? ha ha ha ha! OMG! im so scared. I happen to know personally the people who run the Country Music Hall Of Fame And Museum. Talk about historians of the music. Better go google some more stuff to post in a comment about country singers.

  • @Hendrick4404 Are you a brad paisley groupie???? It only took me seeing him 1 time to realize that...

  • @easttexasoutlaw1 It could have been a rough night. Everybody has the right to them every now and then. Or it could just be that you have no idea what your talking about. No im not some groupie i just cant stand somebody making a stupid comment such as yours with probably absolutely zero knowledge of anything about music or sound.

  • @Hendrick4404 Zero knowledge? Im from East Texas That being Trinity Texas.......My Ex Wife alone was Kinned to George Jones....Saratoga Texas....Buddy i could go on all day long about country music...My mom had T grahm Brown play at her music hall about 5 months ago...Thats the Grove Music Hall Honey Grove Texas... Im sure its still on is web site.....Very Nice man usuallly charges 5000 night charged my mom 2500

  • has to be the best vocalist i have ever heard...so good...is Mr Vern still alive?

  • Vern died last year.

  • @Txmusicam R I P Uncle Vern, may your music live on forever!!!!!!!!!

  • Nope... I'm sorry to day he died last year (2009)

  • Bless your heart ROE. I laid my best friend Cindy away in '93.

  • I always listen to this song when I think of my best friend Tina, I laid her to rest today. I will love you and miss you forever .God keep you until I see you again.

  • I am sorry you had a bad day. When you have a bad day I do too.

  • Magic Vern, see ya on the flip side my friend

  • It's so great to see the great one being remembered.

    Thank you all so much.

  • miss ya alot Vern

  • baby it will rain at mine until i have you all to myself

  • It is raining at my house since you went away SAF..I love you.. can't you see...it has been a long time and I still hurt today like the day that you drove away...I am needing you. Great song!

  • When Vern sings I believe he went through it. I believe the story. Very few singers have ever sold a song to me like Vern.When I turn on the radio today I ask myself is there anyone even close to his talent? I think not

  • Brad Paisley did a cover of this song ... does it almost as good as Vern but you're right ... there ain't another Vern out there anywhere ... men like this only come around once.

  • Vern is one of the best Country singers of all time. When you hear him sing , there is no doubt who's behind the voice. He will be missed by all fans that love real Country Music.

  • Some years ago, my wife and I, along with our two small daughters, had the pleasure of attending Mr. Gosdin's concert at OpryLand one night. After the show, which was outstanding, we were waiting for the crowd to clear, since we had to carry our daughters out. I couldn't understand why the crowd was moving so slowly, until we got outside the pavilion, and found Mr. Gosdin mingling with the crowd, shaking hands and thanking the folks for coming. A good man, and a Great American!

  • vocally you can't top these 5 jones,gosdin,twitty,whitley and singletary

  • He helped me through many nights when no one was around but heartache. His voice and his songs that is and that was more than enough for a broken hearted boy from nowhere.

  • excellent tune

  • Nostalgia is pain from an old wound.

  • This is what real music is about. Vern Gosdin sang with feeling and emotion because he lived it. Pure raw talent and feelings. come on I wondered if it was raining at her house. We all have. That' s what makes it so damn great.

  • The best -- miss him a lot.

  • damn the memories...

  • Hi Friend,Vern was a man with an unmistakeble

    voice it's just too bad he had to leave us but I know he is singing his country favorite songs with the Angels.Vern R.I.P. God Bless...Eddie

  • Man, my good buddy the voice, Vern!! I still remember one day, I knocked on his door and he wasn't expecting me, needless to see he came to the door with a 45. Lol. Rest i peace Vern. Thanks for the reall country music!!! Because it has gone to hell in a hand bag today!!! Thanks!!!!!!

  • MR Voice

  • I remember seeing him and Tammy Wynette in concert in Redbay Alabama, One of the best concerts ive ever been to.

  • After all these months I still tear up.

  • So sad to know that a voice like this is silenced, but Heaven must rejoicing to have another great one for the choir. You will truly be missed Vern;Rest In Peace!

  • This is the main country man! I miss you Vern!

  • My dad loved this song!

  • By the way I still Love you. One day I ll tell you who this broken down old country singer is. Until then Love ya nad keep livin the music.

  • One of the best country music singers evetr. His voice is pure gold.

  • Can't nobody sing it like Vern sang it, they don't come this good anymore.

  • Oh so right you are. The newbies that think they re the stuff should go back and listen and watch. THey could learn alot from Gosdin, Harggard, Jones, Twitty, Nelson, Jennings and Watson. They did it so well.

  • @starr522 You know, we have singers like that in Mark Chestnut, Gary Allen and several others but todays Radio Stations wont play them

  • @gbayless100 ...yes we do...and it seems like radio is letting our ole soul music die slowly!!!

  • @starr522 couldn't agree more

  • @starr522 You have to remember, Garth Brooks and the hat acts killed the popularity of traditional country music like Vern Gosdin. The hat acts played modern country, which is basically bad rock n roll. Sadly, country never healed from the damages caused by Garth. New country songs are either copies of 80s hair band power ballads or recycled bonehead southern rock songs. Modern country is white trash garbage. Vern Gosdin is REAL country.

  • Happy 75th B-Day to The Voice of Country Music.

    R.I.P. Vern Gosdin 8/5/1934 - 4/28/2009

  • Rip  vern... heavens choir has a great new addition..

  • R.I.P. Vern - you'll always be The Voice.

  • Listened to Vern on here last night like I do most nites. My girlfriend comes home this afternoon with his G/H cd. Plugged it in and got on here to check on some things and found out he passed away at midnite last nite. Asked her why she, out of the blue,bought me the cd and she said she just was thinking about his smooth voice and decided to pick it up. Now that is just wierd/spooky to say the least. R.I.P Vern and keep hitting those licks. We are slowly loosing the real country singers.

  • What a song, what a voice...

    We miss you already, Vern.

  • Liked his way of doing a song, he will be missed by many.
