What a great memory.. I fell in love with this one in my early teens playing on Chattanooga Radio I ordered a 45 of it, this was my first 45 of many...
I can still see him in a rockin roll movie I recorded long long ago! He was the most amazing man. Beautiful to look at & a voice that could make a woman swoon. I miss him. And yes he was underrated. The timber of his voice just skids along your bones.
The voice. beautiful. I remember my dad playing songs like this early morning wen the skies are turning blue, i was around 12 yrs old. Thanks to my dad at 21 i'm very appreciative of artist like Ferlin husky.
The star of any stage he stepped on. One of the pure greats of country music. Heaven is full of the legends and whilest we miss them here on earth, their music and legacies will live on in us the true fans of real country music. It was a long time coming and well deserved when they put Mr. Husky in the hall of fame where he has ALWAYS belonged.
@ChurchPianistFL As with many other artists from Bakersfield, I feel Nashville has been slow to recognise Any Country artist thats not right under their nose. Jean Shepard was only elected THIS year, where have they been looking? I think they are very short sighted and uneven in their selections, missing many deserving ones and recognising others too early. Does anyone know what the criterier is for selection, please?
Ferlin Husky passed away at his home yestreday at the age of 85. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame last year. A spokeswoman for theHall said he had a history of heart problems and ailments associated with it.
Had the opportunity to hang out with Ferlin and his band back in 1986 when he played for the troops at China Lake Naval Weapons Center. He was truly a great man! We will miss you...............
What a wonderful performance of that great song.It shows you what a fine singer Husky was right to the end.That is a very difficult song for anyone to perform,let alone a man that age.But Ferlin was the real deal.
God Bless,Ferlin! And thanks for leaving behind those gorgeous songs,they'll live forever.
Last week my mother in law died. I played Wings of a Dove for my wife and her sisters, and it helped with their grief. His music will impact eternity.
Growing up my Mom would sing Ferlin's music while making dinner for the family. Now that's was Country Music . Now it's Pop music sold as "Country Music". RIP Ferlin Huskey thank you for music.
What a wonderful voice and terrific song. First heard it sung my Frankie Ford & liked it. Frankie told me that it was Ferlin Husky's song. I am glad to hear that Ferlin Husky was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He sounds great.
WOW! WOW! WOW! What a still fantastic voice. This song is like the Movie "Gone With The Wind". Should never be recorded by remade. Thanks for the post.
I think when this hit became famous, was when he went from Terry Preston back to Ferlin Husky. Loved him then Love him still. I am so glad he has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, while he is still her to enjoy the honor!!!
Well, ya can say, Ferlin and myself , went to seperate schools together, him an I were in the same generation, Therefore, I had the pleasure of listening to his wonderful voice , through the earlier years of my life, only to be enriched , through the golden years of his life,,,,,,,,,,His song '' GONE'' has to be rated, in his top 5...
Ferlin is one of the greatest country singers who ever lived and I'm priveledged to have contact with him and Miss Leona. He's a true gentleman, and a good christian man. NOBODY can sing GONE like Ferlin! Modern singers may sing it, but it'll never match his version! Congrats to Ferlin on the Hall induction. IT'S ABOUT TIME!
My father went to high school in Frank Clay, Missouri and graduated with Ferlin. My father passed 5 yrs ago at age 83. I'm amazed Ferlin is still among us.
The song was written at the Bostonia Ballroom in El Cajon California by Smokey Rogers. He tried to record it but no one wanted it. Smokey gave the song to Ferlin Husky who was using another name at the time. The rest is history
Wonderful song, and one of my favorites! It reached number one on the charts in the spring of 1957, and it certainly brings back memories. Thanks for posting this!
hi mightywarrier, am filled with goose bumps all over, it was my dad's top fav song and i grew up with such great legends n wonderful music in d early sixties wen i was just 4-5 yrs old . i lost my dad 2 yrs back n now on finding this song just now got a rush of feelings. i am sandeep in dubai.
tks to bob ( i think) for posting. thank u sooo very much.
I have met Ferlin Huskey. He is the cousin of a very good friend of mine. My favorite somg of his is "On the wWngs of a Dove" He is a man who stands up for what he believes and won't play ball with the Nashville elite's greed.
One of the most underated singers that needs to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame but the powers that be wont make it happen while Ferlin is still around to enjoy it.
@jbash1970 he was inducted in 2010 along with Billy Sherrill (producer and songwriter, the man responsible for giving us Miss Tammy Wynette) , Jerry Reid, Jimmy Dean and Don Williams
@OriginalBurton Ferlin made it into the Hall of Fame before he passed away. He was great and I try to watch everything on you tube and other places he has done. There are very few Country Music singers today this good, what a talent.
to be his age and still have the voice he has...hope he never stops singling...Frankie Ford did my next favorite version recorded in the late fifties..
Always loved this song....check out his earlier version recorded under the name Terry Preston, too! Amazing. God bless you, Ferlin, you still bring joy to the younger generation (i am 24).
Loved the video of your Husky! Did you know there is a new membership site, for Husky owners and lovers only? Have a look at my Youtube channel for the link.
I am related to Ferlin Huskey through my Dad's 2 brothers, they married two sisters Aunt Faye and Aunt Ruth, whose mother is a Huskey and Ferlin was related to her.I love hearing Ferlin sing and don't think he made enough records, wish he'd made more. Gosh, now that is all said, "Happy Golden Years to you Ferlin,at least that is what these are suppose to be, always have enjoyed hearing you sing." I have written poetry,love to have Ferlin put one in a song to music,with him singing it :-)
Ferlin you still sing Gone very good and love to see you some day soon. Live close to you to and I feel close to you as long as I am old I have heard about some of your childhood days. I am 60 now and was born on Sept. 4th 1947. I had polio when I was 7. So stay healthy ok with my love I send.
I have always luved this,he was GREAT!!!!
