At 80 yrs of age Charlie is still superb , what feeling and soul comes from him, what style and phrasing, his voice is still strong and steady , I love his voice more than ever .

Unless you're rehearsing for something.

Admittedly, Burt Munro (the fastest indian)was a real hero. Please investigate.

I mean that. Burt Munro is a great, real story to know about.

Anthony Hopkins did a brilliant job of portraying him in the movie "The fastest Indian".

Watch it.

By the way, singing all alone sucks.

Anthony Hopkins:

"Hannibal" or, "The world's fastest Indian."

Both characters are in two of my favourite movies.

Thankyou Anthony.

I hate music critics, they're such idiots. Never pay attention to them.

I saw Charlie for the first time at the Palmer Rapids Music Festival near Bancroft Ontario in July. What a voice- At 81 he still sounds great. I hope to hear and see him again. Gary Hall Peterborough Ontario

Great clip. Thanks for posting. Can't get enough of the Louvin Brothers! (Did the producers here not know that it was Ernest Tubb, not Tubbs?)

[ELVISFREE1977]

Did you know Charlie was a good friend of Elvis.Did you also know that it was Elvis that almost shut down Country Music dead in it's tracks..

Did you know that your cranium prevents your brain from being a formless blancmange.

I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie & his wife at the Louvin Bros. museum in Henager, AL, back about 1993 or so. I will always count it as one of the special moments for me & my Dad, who died not long afterward, and will never forget Charlie for his graciousness to my dad, who passed away not longer afterward. My dad considered it one of the highlights of his life.

Charlie just did a show of Music Business Radio. Search Google to find it. Also check YouTube for some videos.
