[kewtiepie97]

this is my ggmas cousin, i love him... he doesnt know me... but its amazing 2 b related 2 sum1 so awesome!

[Jonathanedward2010]

I've been in Nashville my whole life. Fun song.

[zkv3]

this is a cocaine song!!



[renger29]

I wanna pay my respect for this living legend of CW. I think he's one of the most dynamic and powerfull CW-singers all time. BRAVO for this little wonder of Country Music !!

[joshuabrooks21]

I used to sing this song every so often. Yeah, everyone thought I did good with it, but I personally felt out of place, because I'm about six and a half feet tall, and Jimmy isn't even five feet tall. Great song nonetheless.

[christophenwang]

I just back for Nashville. Little Jimmy Dickens, who is 90 years old, hosted the show, talking jokes for half hour and sang two songs. He is legendary!

[TheJollymon1]

Where did the third verse disappear to?

[637karim]

BRAD PAISLEY, ALONG WITH ALAN JACKSON AND GEORGE STRAIT IS THE CONTEMPORANY BEST COUNTRY MUSIC REPRESENTANT FAR !!! TRUE COUNTRY ARTISTS BRING BACK THE OLD SCHOOL ONES SO YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LEARN WHERE THIS ROOT MUSIC COME FROM. GOD BLESS THEM ALL !!

[KenMacMillan]

How Paisley can play this song without smiling I'll never know. Trace is having a ball though!

[Tiggerp00]

he may be ill but he's 90 and still pushing forward...amazing :)

[9988776698]

Jimmy is awsome i watched him when i was a little girl singing this song its real country.

[EARTHQUAKE8448]

Jimmy has been very ill for sometime now and needs you prayers.

[printjon]

@EARTHQUAKE8448 I saw him in October 2010 at the Grand Ole Opry on a visit from England, and he was almost a stand up comedian as well as a singer, so funny! Hope he gets well soon!

[CharlieMcCotton]

"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"

Is the guy singin' about sniffin' cocaine or somethin'?

[dolphinsqueen]

I remember when I was little we would hear this song play all the time on the radio, I loved it then & I love it now!! If you love this one then you'll like songs by Donna Fargo (songs--Funny Face & Happiest Girl in the Whole USA); Jeannie C. Reily (song--Harper Valley P.T.A.); Glen Campbell (song--(Rhinestone Cowboy).....There are many, many Good Ole Country Western songs by some of the GREATEST artists that ever lived.

[majorl31]

may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch

[Factnotfictionpeople]

No insult intended to this Gentleman, but I wish artists would realise when they are past their best, and just leave us with the memories.......

[EARTHQUAKE8448]

@Factnotfictionpeople My friend without them you would have no memories

[1LORDSCAPES]

@Factnotfictionpeople He's apparently not past his best....he still performs regularly and still keeps audiences attention in every show I've seen him perform in.

[XxWINxX94]

Great video, but Paisley and Trace got nothin compared to Little Jimmy.

[vanetteygirl6]

LIL JIMMY DICKENS LIVES IN MY NIEBERHOOD AND I KNOW HIM I WENT TO HIS PARTY HE INVITED ME

[cod4killaz]

@vanetteygirl6 I LIVE IN HIS HOME TOWN HES MY 3RD COUSIN. BOLT, WV

[EARTHQUAKE8448]

@vanetteygirl6 Hello dear how was JD's health when you went to the party??

[pickledpork]

Bizarre lyrics!

[joshuabrooks21]

Isn't it funny how a novelty song with a nine word title can become a defining moment in a musician's career? Does anyone know how the song's title came about? Or why Jimmy is so short?

[KathieDashner]

were suppose to go back to nashville but since its flooded wer're wondering if we should go now what a shame it happened does anyone know if the ryman autotorium was flooded i would still kind of like to go im sure theres a lot of things to see

[KathieDashner]

my freind and i were in nashville and met little jimmy dickens sitting on a bench what a sweet man im glad hes getting better i heard a while back he was not feeling too chipper i didnt ask him for his autograph wish i would have

[VIGILANTI1]

@KathieDashner YOU CERTAINLY A VERY LUCKY LADY. I WISH I COULD MEET HIM. CONGRATS TO YOU. I UNDERSTAND HE IS A VERY WARM ENTERTAINNER. THANK-YOU FOR THE INPUT. YOU MADE MY NIGHT

[speedskiff2]

If you get the chance, listen to Little Jimmie Dickens sing "Have I told you lately" from around 1960. Newest generation country should take lessons. Country stars today just don't make the grade for me.

[elvisapresley68]

Love Little Jimmy!!! The oldest living member of the Grand Ole Opry!!! This was a #1 hit 45 years ago, and now he's almost 90... Half his life ago, and the song is still FUN!!!

[uslittletrucker]

Its great to see two of West Virginia's OWN Singing together on the grandest stage of them all!!! I live only about 30 mins from where jimmy grew up and still has some family n the area,he comes back home to visit them in the spring and fall,how id love to get to meet him!!! so all you people below me lol that says your KIN to little jimmy and you live here in southern WV ,well then hook a brother up would ya? Cause id love to have the chance to meet him!!! thx

Preston N WV ;-)

[BenedictRoffMarsh]

What a fella

[Essendy7920]

This is a far cousin of mine and it is cool. Little Jimmy Dickens. Becky Dickens.

[weaverfever55]

YeHa Buddy.Little Big Man COUNTRY!

[aviatorairman2000]

brad and trace dont even deserve to share the stage with this man. get those no talent bums off the stage

[fortfuckingwayne]

I agree. Little J and the grandfathers of real country music make Trace and Brad look like the real midgets!

[Hairlesswookie62]

i agree with you on trace adkins but honestly brad paisley is amazing. not even his guitar skills his voice and song writing is good. except his new song. that kinda sux

[JPMADDOG1]

i respect trace but brad dont deserve the attention hes got. trace has had some good hits and actually sounds good live. without the mixers

[LindaStallings]

Little Jimmy is the best ! great duet with Brad !

[imnotdillon]

I'm related to Little Jimmy, but I never really got to meet him yet. I'm only 13, but my dad told me about him about 3 months ago.

[shaolinloser]

That's cool! :)

[imnotdillon]

Thanks. :)

[petersonmd1983]

if ever in nashville go to the music cuty bar (real small joingt) across the street from the opry entrance. he's there everynight before the show, having a glass of wine with his manager.

[imnotdillon]

If it's every night, he needs to stop drinking!

[petersonmd1983]

the opry is only 2 or 3 times a week, and he only drinks a glass or 2 of wine

[bigbenkentucky]

I listened to the Grand Ole Opry live on the radio for the first time ever just last week. I so enjoyed hearing this little guy. He had me in stitches! I'll be tuning in again tomorrow night. I sure hope I get to hear him again soon! I'll have to get a ticket to the Opry and see him in person, since I live within an hour's drive of Nashville.

[deloufu]

To me Little Jimmy Dickens is & always will be "A REAL CLASS ACT" & you can take that to the bank.

[jessiemae62]

I love this man to death....i started listening to him when i was little with my grand father and i would love to have a picture taken with him....but before me and papaw could go , papaw passed ...but soon i will take that trip to meet him he is the cutiest man alive.......

[46r11]

The voice has weakened somewhat but he still gets it done. Iwish him the best

[Vec4f]

I am related to him!!

[decleafs4]

I just saw Jimmie this past Friday and He was great. Apperently He was sick and did not make Sat night.

Jimmie, I hope you are feeling better, and THANKS VERY MUCH.

[docsavage98]

A man whose voice could make you laugh or cry (check out "Raggedy Ann for a real tearjerker)

The voice has really not gotten very weak considering his age....he's one of the last of the real country pioneers.

[jmcosmos]

Wouldn't 'zactly call him a "pioneer" himself . . . that title belongs somewhere in Uncle Dave Macon and Mother Maybelle's generation. He is, however, a direct link between their era of the Opry and today's.

[1LORDSCAPES]

@docsavage98 Amen! The 'new generation' of performers who call themselves country musicians are, in large part, just rock singers who can't make it in the rock world and are looking for an easy out in the country genre. They won't last long there, either. "Tater" has been in country music 70 years or so and still performing, which tells you something right there,

[animeboy4496]

60 Years Jimmy Played His Guitar On The Grand ole opry

[GatesJJ922]

gotta luv lil Jimmy

[iarnault1]

[HappyCracker420]

Haha my whole generation knows this song. I laughed my ass off the first time i heard my grandpa play it on his guitar.

[JaclynDenisex3]

Little Jimmy still has my heart <3! I love him and he did amazing! I didn't expect him to still sound so good!!

[martinmary555]

i have always loved Little Jimmy Dickens . martinmary555 catch my video

[kalmanizer]

I may ONLY be 26 yrs old but I know good and REAL Country Music when i hear it!! :)

A fan of Country Music, all the way from Brooklyn, NY!! :)

Get this Rap Crap off the air and please get us a Country Station.

Get rid of this new Nashville Country Pop sound and bring in some REAL pure Country Music!! :)

Thank you!! :-)

[capt777737]

Got that right bud. Git' out of NYC and move to the Rocky Mountains.

We got REAL FREEDOM and no rap crap here.

[renger29]

[kawikahob1]

@kalmanizer Agreed! Thanks...

[stevenjo1966]

[atletico45]

This incredible guy DESERVES a golden statue.

Already had a bunch of hits 60....years ago!

He was the #39 country singer in the 40's!!!

Amazing and he still participates on all

family reunions.
