That woman led a hard, hard life. She is beautiful but you can really see the brokeness in her eyes. I can only imagine the stories she could tell. Breaks my heart.

Beautiful!

[Brisco1983]

True mountain music.

[uglyboyfloyd1]

my nana used to sing that

[DayTripperLennon]

que fea.

[MSfeller]

Write in English, so everyone can understand you. I did however. You called her ugly. Well, I agree with you, she is not the purdiest lady in West Virginia. BUT, this is not a beauty contest, she's singing, with emotion. That's the problem with music nowadays: somehow musical talent and exterior beauty became dependent on each other. Today, all singers are good looking. I miss the time when old, ugly sumbitches would play and sing music that truly came from the heart, like this woman just did.

[DayTripperLennon]

I'm sorry you feel that way.

[MSfeller]

I ain't.

[towlebucket]

Well said brother.

[rottenhills1986]

Right on

[BrucknerMotet]

@MSfeller Cheers for posting about the music industry's shameful preference for the income-generating potential of the fleeting Image of visual beauty over the enduring Power of the music itself AND the raw Authenticity of the musician. It's mind-boggling to me how such temporary and essentially misguided concern with Image can trump such incredible Power and Authenticity. I figure most folks eventually "see" such Power and Authenticity, but only after the visual aspect fades in importance.

[darkbluewife]

@MSfeller well said =)

[lescar88]

I like how she sings - alot. :)

[StephyD327]

God Bless Her!

[mindysmithmusic]

sweet little ladie... i love the whites... they are amazing strange. but she sings very nicely.

[Sodomschild]

With a tag like yogibroadhead you should be in a circus.ASSBAG..........

[Sodomschild]

Kinda got me there........Goosebumps.......­The whole 9 yards.

[PinePicker87]

this sings by Jack Cardwell aint it?

[borg48]

Great song  :)

[KarenWheeler]

I agree with you 100% straight from the heart.

[ToddGustafson]

Just beautiful I agree

[blooddonor70]

[NewDaysofNoah]

"I told her if you wanna live ta see tomorrow you better..."

[Snipedanwo]

JESCO MEANS MORE

THAN HANK EVER WILL !

[TacklingDummy]

Wow, Norma Jean.

[rufusvanrugburn]

THAT WAS GREAT.

[RiverRenegade]

This video has over 17,000 views and only 22 people bothered to rate it .Some great Hank fans out there we have.

[lostcase13]

Makes Me Want To Cry. RIP Hiram.

[mattlostrun]

Did some research. In a 2004 Charleston Daily Mail article, it states that Jesco was 48 and Norma Jean was 65 at the time.

[mattlostrun]

If I remember right, she was several years older than Jesco. She's over 60, I'd say.

[blurbieblue]

she is a very good singer, in my opinion...is she still alive?

[DarkMedievalTimes]

She's got a nice voice

[SHIZZLEFORRIZZLE]

[me1hank]

That was awsome! Hank Williams was the legend! An Icon! He knew it was his time to go! I think we ALL know when it's our time to go! I've got that feeling!

[smalltownkid2004]

Very beautiful that has my vote for every star possible great job. I downloaded the song as well By Jack Cardwell - Death of hank williams such a great song for one of the greatest singers we've ever known.

[Tedsuzan]

Beautiful song and well sung...

[jenlehner]

Wow.  I didn't know she could sing. It gave me chills. Very sweet.

[elevatin124]

You can't beat that man, thats good soul music! Any of these punks that don't think so apparently didn't grow up right!

[BHuntJr]

awe...that was pretty.

[YourADrag]

dam she's hot

[Slaykidangel]

absolutly beautiful

[acidphazzze6]

The song is called "The Death of Hank Williams" and was written and recorded by WALA (Mobile, AL) DJ Jack Cardwell on 01-01-1953. It was the first recorded tribute song released after Hanks death.

[globalmojo]

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure when Norma said it was her song if she meant her arrangement of it or the actual song. She said that she had changed some words from an older song. I'd love to hear the original and will look for it. Thanks again for the info!

[bjf2008]

@acidphazzze6 she changed a few words didnt she ,,,cause the tune sounds identical but the words seem a bit different,,,i havent heard the death of hank in a long time but good one none the less

[oskorei123]

thats such a beautiful song..i'd love to hear Norma Jean, Jesco, and Hank III do it together
