Drinking Champagne ~ Cal Smith, George Strait or Ray Price: You Decide!

[balladeer45]

It's not fair when you throw Ray Price in the mix. The voice quality is unbeatable....If Ray sings it....it's sung...case closed!!!

[Linfordboy]

They are all qood, but Ray Price just edges it for me

[Brit1234ish]

I can't choose between them, they are all great!

[Brit1234ish]

What a great write up on George Strait! He is great and sings like the old songs which I love.

[HHSGDFootballJPD]

Ray's song is too slow, though I do like his voice and the instrumental. Stuck between Cal Smith's and Strait's version, very hard to determine what is better.

[tuliejulie]

Flip a coin and they will all come up heads!

[bagruen]

This is DEFINATELY Cal Smith.

[tommygarage1776]

I grew up on the original cut of Cal Smith, This is a remake by Cal which I don't like as well. I love George's and Ray's version as well, It is a great song and you can't miss on a great song by any of these legends.

[MsBluejay8]

I liked Cal Smith best, Ray Price was good too.

[geoffboxer]

All are good but none can match The Killer, Jerry Lee , live from International , Las Vegas Album ,he sings it with real soul/conviction.

[ClarenceOlsen1]

George

[buddy4343]

That's Ray Price

[n70guy]

All three are very, very, very good, if not excellent. And to say one is the best is to ask for an argument. Though I must confess, I like Mr. Price the best, guilty conscious... I guess.

[vreynoldson56]

Ray Price #3.All very good,but I grew up listening to Mr. Price and still like his the best.

[vreynoldson56]

George Strait is the next one.

[vreynoldson56]

Listen to Country Bumpkin.This is Cal Smith.Listen to the voice.

[buffyslayer30]

Gerore starit all the way.

[73849309378]

Oops sorry. Make that 0 a D. Anyway, it's the video by NcicHit2.

[73849309378]

Cal Smith's original version: youtube dot com/watch?v=f90ySNxGNs8

[73849309378]

Unfair comparison. This isn't Cal Smith's original version, which sounded much better. So he's the best.

[crc9bgirl1]

go Ray Price!!

[hillbilly2bill]

I liked all three.. I have met all three so it is hard to make a choice...

George sings it more as a Texas Swing, which he is known for.

Cal did a good job too but did not do some of the notes that were written in the

song that Bill Mack put there.. but his voice is so deep maybe it was out of his range.

But my #1 Ray Price has to be the best of the three... to me it is a more sad song... ,a she got away song and some how George made it a boot scootin'

dancing song.

All were great,#1 Ray

[wolfie13m]

Cal Smith without a doubt is the best version ever....Mike

[Kittielips]

5*****.

Jennie.

[JCandDonnaLee]

The very best of Ray Price, an excellent song, it, "For the Good Times."

[JCandDonnaLee]

A definite Hank Thompson sound....so it is Cal Smith...good job...

[Autumn1250]

I like King George's version!! <<<

[MrEspurio]

MEJOR CON GEORGE STRIT

[Reddirtgirl55Again]

For me it was best done by Faron Young............its not on you tube. :((

This is a very close second. Thanks for uploading.

[classio]

all 3 are fabulous...the mark of a great song...but ray price is in a class by himself.

[berntolofsson]

Had to go and play the record but now I'm sure - It's Cal Smith.

[Mac3able]

Ray Price. I like all 3, but Ray does this song best.

[ridgerunner94]

Tough choice. Like a Miss America pageant.

[mrpete222]

It's Ray all the way!!!

[MrMusicman488]

I love George strait but I have to go with Ray Price on this one!!!

[bobbieearle]

it doesn't sound as smooth as Ray Price but similar

[glipzik]

I like George's voice , but Ray puts more feeling into it. The cherokee cowboy gets my vote.

btw didn't Carl Smith also record this?

[darrell1934]

A classic! Gotta votemfor Ray.

[darrell1934]

A classic!

[TheCliffPhilShow]

Cal.

[barrygioportmorien1]

Have to say George.

[fireman70537]

MR. CAL SMITH IS MY VOTE!!!  THX FLASH

[r1w1v]

This is Cal Smith from his 1968, "Drinking Champagne" album.

[r1w1v]

@r1w1v Although George's version is pretty damn good also. But I'll go with Cal, he's another underrated artist.

[jasonerling]

gotta go with george strait on this one

[jtls8]

There is no fair way I can decide! The last one I heard was by Ray, so right now would probably say him, but when I was hearing Cal and George they was the best!

So I will let someone else decide and just enjoy them. I honestly like all three very much!!!!!!!
