  • RIP Charlie you had an awesome career

  • what year is this...'63 maybe?

  • @thedroogfulable This was released probably somewhere around 1969. I bought the album new that had this song on it, and I sang it a lot as a pre-graduate in high school. To everyone else here, Charlie sadly passed away earlier this year. His music will live on though for many years to come, as long as we have formats like youtube to preserve his music.

  • Great sound and AMPEG DEVIL BASS.

  • ABOUT TWO HOURS SOUTHWEST OF ST. LOUIS IS A BEAUTIFUL STREAM CALL "CURRENT RIVER." IT IS A SPRING FED STREAM THAT FLOWS ABOUT 7 MILES PER HOUR. AT A CAMP GROUND CALLED PULLTITE I CAMPED MANY TIMES. IT IS 30 MILES FROM THE NEAREST TOWN. AT NITE AROUND THE CAMPSITE WE WOULD LISTEN TO THE LOUISIANA HAY-BACK RIDE RADIO AND OTHER FAR OFF COUNTRY STATION. THIS SONG WAS ONE WE LISTEN TO AND I LOVE THE RIVER AND THE LATE NITE COUNTRY MUSIC THAT PLAYED FROM FAR OFF DISTANT STATIONS.

  • Is that his son on rhythm guitar behind him?

  • Does anyone know what show this is taped from? We're working on a Charlie Louvin documentary and trying to source a lot of material at the moment. Much thanks in advance. Website for the film: louvinfilm (dot) com

  • Didn't Charlie just die recently? I enjoyed their music.

  • i love charlie louvin. my favorite singer. his brother died in a car wreck the day i was born. 

  • Does any one rember the song that the Louvin Brothers had out called She's As Close As I Can Get To Loving You, George Jones sang it also but I rember the Louvin Brothers singing it. Thank you.

  • Thumbs up if your watching in 2011

  • The Louvin brothers are re-united performing their timeless music for the angels

  • Rip, Charlie. You were a first class musician, and I will never forget playing with you.

  • JULESNMIMI YOU ARE A SUPER STAR. THE NORA LINKINS SHOW, FOREVERMORE, PA., USA

  • charlie passed away i think in january of this year

  • rest in peace. I just learned of it by reading these comments. Charlie and Ira were the real deal!

  • that was so sad to hear that charlie lovin had passed away i did not know that

  • Saw him in a small club in London when he was 81, what a treat. Promise me that time won't separate me from your memory.

  • Rest in Peace, Charlie. You are one of the greats of country music and we'll not likely ever see your kind again. Yours was the era of originality and exellence.

  • his brother died the day i was born, and now he's gone. i never got to see either of them

  • Thanks for all the years of knowing you . We will always LOVE YOU Charlie R.I.P.

  • First Ira, and now Charlie. There will never be anyone like them again. R.I.P.

  • Charlie, you knew that was my favorite Charlie Louvin song. You're home now with Ira and your Momma.

    I'll see you somewhere down the road.

  • Fantastic Singer Hate To Hear We Lost Him. He Will Be Missed.......R.I.P. Charlie.

  • So sorry to hear this morning that we lost him. I saw him play a show in Memphis just this past year. He did play this, as well as several Louvin Brothers' songs. His show didn't even start until after midnight. Tough old codger in his last year.

  • R.I.P. CHARLIE U'RE 1 OF THE GREATEST BLUEGRASS, AND COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST, AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THE MEMORY I HAVE OF U WHEN I WAS SO YOUNG

  • Charlie was incredible. Gone too soon!

  • R.I.P. Superb talent.

  • rest in peace charlie.thanks for the music all them years.

  • Charlie Louvin passed away today at the age 0f 83, one of the legendary ones. May light perpetual shine upon him.

  • I'm an African American Male. I grew up on this recordings. My Dad was Bob Freeman "The Lonesome Stranger" He played a left handed guitar and knew Mr. Louvin. My Dad was one hell of singer. He passed away in '09. He never got a break in the business, but he sure loved his country music. He's passed that love on to me.

  • RIP, Mr. Louvin.

  • R.I.P. Charlie.Thank God your music lives on.

  • Rest in Peace, you're finally reunited with Ira...

  • I kind of forgot about this video for a year. I thought I'd be stepping on some toes with that comment I made. Guess not. How about this- It's said to think Charlie Lovin wouldnt make it in todays country. He just doesnt have "the look". Picture him in a pearl button shit with the sleeves ripped off, cowboy hat hangin down over his eyes, rattle snake boots and tight jeans. Everyone now has to come in a marketable package. Singing talent is secondary. Singers just had more class back then.

  • Wow didn't hear this one in years thank you for posting.

  • One word....Awesome! Which idiot accidently hit the dislike button?!!

  • Charlie Louvin- definition- Real Country Music !

  • real country real singing with real feeling awesome

  • Is that Jonny Paycheck on guitar ?

    Great clip BTW .

  • This is beautiful! What kind of guitars are those? I used to see them used on Hee Haw.

  • Conway and Loretta did a great job on this song also.

  • Who wrote this?

  • Mr Bill Anderson wrote it whispering bill they called him.

  • @leedfoot

    It was written by Dallas Frazier.

  • i've loved his voice for 40 years. his brother ira died the day i was born

  • I seen Charlie, in St.Louis, in 2007, he is a natural ! He's in his 80's, and still has it today ! He got emotional, on his song"Ira",& had to take a break. I had a ciggerette with him, and he's just,down to earth ! If you ever get the chance, go see him, while he's still among us ! Whether its at the Opry, or your homwetown. He's a Legend !

  • you want to see a great singer & country legend, then look up the schedule of charlie louvin, and go see him ! He's almost 84, and still has it, and he's just a natural, of course he's been at it a long time !

  • I love this song by him

  • interesting little trivia here but that is Charlie's son "Sonny" standing right behind him, probably 17 at the time. Sonny is an entertainer following dad's footsteps in Nashville today and an excellent one at that

  • Comment removed

  • What would we do without music like this... It has made our lives so happy and have a positive attitude.

  • He has one of those voices that gets better with age, though this is an old video. The best!

  • This is a great version of a great song by Dallas Frazier.

  • I love the Real country.I aint gonna mention any names but i think its a shame for Country music when a lot of singers these days call them selv Country singers when theyr nothing but Pop singers wearing Cowboy hats.Its a shame.

  • One of Charlie's best!

  • Just saw Charlie Louvin live in Cleveland, Ohio. He looks and sounds great!!! He performed this song too.

  • This is real country a priviilege to listen to thank you

  • Bought this on an album for 99 cents at a Woolco store. It is an excellant song and an excellant performance.

  • After listening to this I want to call the local FM country station and them they stink and haven't played a real country tune in 20+ years. Thank you much for posting. Awesome live performance

  • WOW!

  • Charlie and Ira 2 of the greatest country singers of all tyme.

  • At last! I always loved this song by Charlie. I gave up on a video of HIM doing it being on You tube but just saw it today. It's as beautiful as it was years ago. Thanks for posting it.

  • Love this song. Interestingly, even tho I have always loved Charlie..and and Ira, too, when he was still with us, I did not stumble across this song until recently; downloaded in into my iPod. Now, I grab my Gibson and take a whack at it about every morning; even try the same guitar licks.

  • neat song!

  • his career was never the same after ira died so young

  • Well no....it was solo and he continued a helluva career with a lot of great records and is still at it.

  • Wow. Love you Mr. Louvin.

  • Awesome Charlie, you go man!
