Del Reeves Imitating Roy Acuff & Little Jimmie Dickens

[airborneassasin]

OMG I just caught this and the Little Jimmy impression was the funniest thing I ever seen.

I used to hear Del a LOT on the Opry programs. He'd usually host a segment midway through the then 5 and a half hour program on WSM radio and sometimes he'd be a guest on another Opry member's segment. One of his regular routines was an impression of Johnny Cash singing "I Would Like To See You Again". Del would also do a Willie Nelson impression while a member of his band did the Waylon Jennings part. By this point in time it was the mid and late 1990's, though.

Wow, i've never seen this side of Del before, at least not this much of him. Just an amazing guy!

Amazing, Del is the best, both a Roy Acuff, Little Jimmie Dickens and of course as himself.

Thanks for posting. bring us more!

A muti- talented guy! Such a shame he has passed on. I bet he was fun to hang out with, too funny!

[kenbob136]

Del was in a class all by himself, and he is surely missed.

[Tiberious018]

Thanks for this great post!

[karentrevor]

Del was the best!

Del also did incredible imitations of Johhny Cash, Porter Wagoner & George Jones.

[Banjomountain]

That's hilarious because it's so good! Sounds just like ol Roy Acuff!

[dmeadows555]

Great imitations. I can see Little Jimmy Dickens singing that great song just like that. Funny stuff and a real tribute (truly) to these two great artists who I know Del respected very much.

[generalransom]

lol, he did Roy Acuff and Little Jimmy perfect, I just wish I was able to meet all three of these legends, especially Mr. Roy, but sadly he died when I was two years old, he is definitely the King of Country Music

[NcicHit]

I feel our lives are better having heard Del Reeves music.

Del was not only a master musician; he was a master imitator, as this video clearly shows! I loved it when he'd imitate other singers; he was so good at what he did! How I miss him! Wonderful vid; five huge stars!
