You're The Reason - Bobby Edwards

[jndobbie]

What a pleasant step into the past. The video / photo montage was very great and the song brought back memories of what my dad used to like to listen to and I thought he was soo square.

Who new that what was so good back then would still sound so darn good 50 + years later.

@jndobbie Thanks for the kind words....I'm sure Bobby will appreciate it.

my family .

cant get this song out of my mind, to see to thwe music of a parade goto:brock supply restored tow truck vets day parade

[guambetty]

Ashamed to admit I`d never heard of Edwards,but his is my kind of country music. I`m also finding out there are a lot of other "forgottened " artists out there to be rediscovered, so please do like you said about future videos---I`ll be looking forward to enjoying more. Thanks!

My father Murl Liverett was a good friend of Bobby Edwards. We visited them in Tennessee when I was a child. The water in the beginning of the vedio was across the street from their home. This brought back memories for me. Love the vedio.

[egle4]

Glad you enjoyed the video...Bobby and I go back a long ways as well. I hope to do another video montage of Bobby in the near future with some newer photos and maybe another one of his hit songs so stay tuned...thanks for the comment..Charles

[merril54]

[ageingtrucker]

i was 15 when i first heard this in 1961...., I bought it on a 45, was getting a bit scratchy, now i have it onCD, I still play it almost every day...One of my all time favourites,

[flashbell]

Does Bobby still reside in Smyrna Tennessee?

[egle4]

Yes he does.

[DougCameraMan]

Love this song as this is the version I was looking for. I remember this playing on the juke box when I was a young boy back in the early 60s and always like it. Great song, great singer... love the back up singers, too.

[egle4]

Thanks Doug, I'm glad you enjoyed the montage. Bobby has been a close friend of mine for many many years and we've played a lot of shows together. The backup singers were a group called "The Four Young Men". Thanks for your comment.

[oraclewjr1]

Thanks for the posting. One of my all time favorite songs. This song got up to #2 in 1961on the New York City record charts where I am from. Just goes to show that people everywhere love a great song.

[geniusofbrutality]

love the Hank Williams III version (:

hey there. my brother wrote you and told you bobby and our dad were friends. i have an album of bobby from many years ago and it is signed "to paul, the best manager a guy could have" then in 96, i had to notify bobby of his dear friend passing. he was still in anniston then i think. i thought i had caused him to have a heart attack the way he reacted to pauls passing. his wife had to call me back and find out who and what had upset him so much. if you talk to him tell him that we said hi

[debbyog]

hey there, my brother wrote you (egle4) about bobby and paul cureton. he talked of bobby alot. i have an album of bobby's from many years ago and it's signed to paul, the best manager a guy could have. thank you for posting this.

[debbyog]

hey there. my brother wrote you a few weeks ago about bobby and our dad being friends. i have an album of bobby from many years ago. it is signed by bobby to my dad telling him he was the best manager a guy could have. also in 1996 when our dad died, i thought i had caused bobby to have a heart attack when i notified him that his good friend, paul had died. he dropped the phone and his wife called back to find out what had been told to him to upset him so much.paul talked of bobby alot.

[turfderf2]

Egle4,

Is Bobby still alive? My dad was Paul Cureton that wrote the song "You're the reason". You can see a picture of him at the 1:04 mark on your video.

Unfortunately, he passed away several years ago. My dad and I went out to visit Bobby when he lived out east of Anniston.

I greatly appreciate you putting this on you tube. My dad had great memories he made with Bobby.

[UMIBL]

And tell him I'm singing it down in Australia too. Hope he gets a royalty check now and then.

Mick

[moynonet]

[mrgreer51]

What a great, great song!

[myokuma]

I've looked for different versions of this song and this is my very favorite. I listen to it over and over again and never tire. What a smooth voice. Thank you so much for posting this.

[stumpgirl57]

Wow! What memories! Bobby used to come to my house to visit my parents in Anniston when I was young. They knew him before he became a star. Would love to contact him. Does he have an e-mail? Polly was my nurse when my son was born. Thanks for the video.

[herselman1]

brings back great memories of when i was a kid-took a while to find this song---love it

[TRAINIAC19]

As a collector of early R&B group harmony music, I have to say that this is one of my favorite country songs along with Hank and many others. I love this song and Bobby Edwards!!!!!!!!

[gmkell59]

This is one of those songs that you never get tired of hearing..and I remember when it came out, It was quite a crossover song in Central California, Thanks for putting it on, Cheers!

[sexylinzylou]

this is my uncle bob...i love the pics with rachel and bradley...!! i love my uncle bob

[egle4]

Your Uncle Bob is a great man. I've worked shows with him over the years and he is a very dear friend.

[welshhillbillyful]

This is the first time i have heard t.he original.Eesily the best

[egle4]

Thanks for the kind words. If you find the right station, it can still be heard. Mostly the stations that play traditonal country music. I've heard it several times on our local radio station. You might try calling and requesting it. Thanks.

[shortynshoni]

Wow what a post. 1 of the finest country songs written and arranged. What a voice

[egle4]

I have to agree with you. It's been covered by over 30 artists. I'll pass the kind words on to Bobby.

[jtls8]

This is a good one*****

Thank you Shirley for sending.

[1Sousedlouse]

Nice to hear this one after all these years.Brings back a lot of good memories of better times.When country music was really good!!

[egle4]

You are so right, they don't write them like

this anymore. Thanks for the kind words.

[ukbarton]

I have another track by Bobby Edwards "A Fool For Loving You" which was released in the late fifties. I have not yet seen it on YouTube.

[misspeachezmeowz]

Thank you for this fab history lesson of one of country musics great forgotten songs! I was 7 years old when it came out and remember my mother singing to it all the time!!!

[Debsagran]

Wow! I've been wanting to hear this song again for so long.

Bobby is my 2nd or 3rd cousin and he brought this record over to our house ('60 or '61) and played it on my little record player and told my Dad (Snookie/William) I think I've got a hit!

And he did. Thank you so much!

[Erkele]

Wonderfull. I thank You for this.
