Charlie Louvin ~ See the Big Man Cry

[hatchclaret1977]

My dad used play this on an old Zenith floor model Stereo, I would cry every time I heard it cause I knew one day Mom and Dad wouldn't be together, they just could not get along. They got divorced when I was 12 and then remarried about a year later, Just to divorce again when I started college, man it destroyed me, I left n moved to Myrtle Beach stayed gone til it was all over. Just didn't want to be in the middle, fightin over the money, the homeplace, the cars, but none of that mattered 2 me.

[Pippisongbird]

What did this man say and do for the judge to ban him from seeing his child and wife? "But the judge had said I could never see them for the things I'd said and done". And now he's following them around. I bet the wife was terrified. If he truly loved them, he'd leave them alone. When the boy's 18 he can decide for himself.

[Rick123691]

WOW, where has small town America gone ! This is AMERICAN CLASSIC COUNTRY WESTERN MUSIC at its finest. God Bless,Keep and Hold you Charlie Louvin !!!

[nedalanjr]

I first heard about charlie over the radio. It was on the day he died. The dj played this song in remebrance of him. I wish I had'nt discovered him that way but oh well. Rest in peace charlie. Im 25. September 2011.

[Reddirtgirl55Again]

Great title!!

[mjpk6269]

Country music 101... class dismissed.

[bigg581]

you can still see charlie on rfd tv on saturday night on country reunion.

[misspeaches251]

Ppl turned their backs on country music when it turned into cornball over marketed crap, this stuff rules and is what country music is really all about, honey i used to hear this stuff when I was a teenager in the 70s there were always a few people listening to it who didnt go achybreaky stupid. This-all has roots in the old call and response gospel style and is kin to blues and good rock and roll, it all evolved from those lonesome bayous and prairies and mountain hollers all over this country.

@JamieTheGallagher

Also The Wilburn Brothers. Check out The Delmore Brothers too, since the Delmore's were influences of The Louvins.

[gabbydeb]

I loved this song growing up! It always made me feel sad! I thought Faron Young is the one who sang it! I probably did hear Faron Young singing it, and thought he was the one who made it popular.

[crazy8s254]

Charlie is my Uncle. I of course grew up listening and this is my absolute favorite one. I never thought to look for him out on youtube until today.

[GreatestSingerEver01]

I was 7 years old and had a jukebox and a bag full of records. This is the one song, along with "I Walk The Line" that I played over and over again. It's good to hear this song again today. Thank you for uploading it. :-)

A great song from a GREAT man!! My dad had this song on a record that I played over and over again. Love this music! Makes me wonder why I ever turned my back on it.

[TheShipVideoMaker]

There is a guy named Tiny C Hart who also sings a great version of the song, but this version is great also

[Oldiebut62]

Big Ed Bruce's Rock & Roll version is much better.
