Saga of the Ponderosa (by littlejoy)

[bjurevicius]

Lorne Greene could single-handedly outclass a room full of today's TV and film stars.

[DukeFanGermany]

Awesome Video. You have done a great Job. Excellent!

[mriadunn]

Totally awsome! Thank you for making this!

[Chxgfdyxfyxrgdtfxj]

Good job little joy!! Keep it up

[jehukjehe]

This is the ultimate Bonanza song! The story of such enduring courage, of a man, his loves, his losses and his boys. No one will ever sing this the same way as the man who played that role. I miss them all so much. Thank you Ben, Adam, Hoss, Little Joe. And Thank you Lorne Greene... I raise my glass to you all!!

[DeedsResearcher]

Really outstanding! I recall hearing that song on a record, many years ago, and one line stayed with me all this time: "Husky, and jolly, and hardly ever cross. My wife named him Eric, but I called him Hoss."

beautiful video

[IluvCandyJoe]

Did anyone notice that Ben keeps telling Joe that he looks just like his mother, but Marie's hair was blonde in the episode "Marie my Love"? Just thought I'd point that out.

[mriadunn]

@IluvCandyJoe Well his hair color was the same as his dad, but that doesn't keep him from having his mother's features.

[bones24inf]

Damn good video.

[Pernellsfaithfulfan]

excellent! Great Job!

[sboy1955]

wow that was great (and eye opening) - i'm 54 - and had always enjoyed bonanza as a boy - but i never knew about this song or the full story behind the saga - it was just another western series to me?

[TheGillypot]

one thing puzzles me, in the song that Lorne Greene sings he says that his sons

and he (Pa) worked to make the Ponderosa but in a few episodes "Little

Joe" says; "see that window up there? That is the room I was born in" So if he was born in the house how could he have been working on the house with his brothers in the beginning??????

[Jennysand81]

Well that properly didn't fit in the song. The 'saga' of the show made that the house was build only shortly befor Ben married Joe's mothe, as can be seen in the "Marie, my love" episode. So the song Is wrong.

i love this video and the voice of lorne greene sends chills down my spine

[ancientspiritmusic]

This is a beautiful video and one of Lorne Greene's most powerful songs. I listened to his music for many years and know all the words. He was a wonderful person who had a special gift in his voice and as an actor. He will always be special.

I could sit and watch these Bonanza videos all day long. This one is another really awesome video. I would really really love to get my hands on some cds of Lorne Greene and Pernell Poberts singing My Dad used to have a Lorne Greene LP but I don't Know what happened to it. would anyone know how to get any of these on cd

[TheFrogger15]

Check on e-bay they usually have this kinda stuff.

[TheGillypot]

@lovethosecartwrights Much better than cds of Lorne Greene, I watched and heard him sing in 1963 when he came over to England at our local ITV studios on a show we used to have called "Discs-a-Gogo." He was the first person I saw when I went on the show and his voice was awsome and GOD he was gorgeous! Even his hands were lovely!

Part of it at the end is from Henry T. P. Comstock.

[majdarklighter]

[witchfaire]

Very good! I really enjoyed Lorne Green singing his life story of Bonanza.

[JadeHeatherFowler]

An amazing clip.

[Escocialander]

Excelent clip. Do you have the episode where the Hoss's mother died? Sorry for my english, but I speak spanish and a little of english.

[LittleSister60]
