It's good to see him in his true element... He looks sincerly happy here!!!  He left us way to soon, but his music will live on and on!!!

Thank you so much for posting this song. My mom just passed away last week. I wanted to sing this song for her but knew i wouldn't be able to get through it. When i was young my dad would play his fiddle or sing while playing his guitar. He would stand in the doorway of our house and sing song after song by Hank Williams. Hank sure knew how to write great songs about life. These are some of my earliest memories and I cherish them even more now.

Hank signed a contract for six songs with Rose, who then used those songs to sign Williams with Sterling Records. On December 11, 1946, in his first recording session, he recorded Wealth Won't Save Your Soul, Calling You, Never Again and When God Comes and Gathers His Jewels. The recordings Never Again and Honky Tonkin' became successful and caught the attention of MGM Records. His first MGM single Move It On Over had an immediate impact in the charts.

Hank might have drank a bit too much but it sure didn't spoil his singing,,he's awesome.He died way too young but I bet he's still singing up high :)

I'm British and listened to this on a CD today with my grand daughter in the car, I had a few tears , I confess , but she's too young to explain why I couldn't handle it!
