Buck Owens - Act Naturally

[Borgcommander]

Ringo Starr and Buck Owens are the only two people who did this song well

[jehovahuponyou]

IT TAKES GUTS TO FUCK UP A SONG YOU WROTE YOURSELF - ROFL!

RIP - BUCK, WE MISSES YA!

NOW SOMEBODY KICK DWIGHT'S 50LB, NOSE-SANGIN' ASS OFF THE STAGE - ;^)

[thefivefour]

I don't listen to country. In fact, I hate country. Buck Owens is above country. He's his own genre. I'm fortunate enough to have opened my mind to his art. When i'm stuck on the 101 in the San Fernando Valley during a hot summer afternoon, I put on Buck and all is well.

[wojohan]

Is Bucks guitar plugged into something? Dont see no cable.

[rw1sgusa]

Buck was an Admiral in the TEXAS NAVY thats similar to a Kentucky Colonel ha ha

[twoteles]

Two great talents - and country as it used to be. Wonderful to see.

I met Buck in the UK years ago - a truly great artist and a sad loss to country when he passed away.

Good on you, Dwight, for keeping his music alive.

[moproducer]

Alvis "Buddy" Alan Owens, Buck's son (with Bonnie Owens, who was later Mrs. Merle Haggard) is @ 1:40 , third from the left. He has several hits in the early '70s, was a regular on Hee Haw, and now runs part of the Owens business interests.

[allyballz09]

thinking about you "rest in peace" Buck we'll have a  beer for you !! 12/04/10

[StevieB1362]

God blessed Buck Owens & Buck blessed us with some of the best country music ever ! We never would've experienced the Bakersfield Sound if not for Buck & Don Rich. Congrat.s Buck. Bet there's a Crystal Palace in Heaven...& Billy Bob's ?

[ptc123]

good

[MrNascar1111]

smae

[NYCntryMan25]

Father and son? I am not sure and who cares? Greath music, voices, and chemistry.. God Bless Buck Owens. I am glad Dwight shared the moment with him, they were and are family, regardless of "blood relation." Blood is thicker than water, but LOVE is thicker than blood. AMEN TO THAT!

[wakehotstud]

Well deserved and much too late receiving this Award! Buck was No.1 of the Country Charts and living in Bakersfield, California. Most of the other Country artists were in Nashville playing politics. Buck did it HIS way and was extremely successful with his music and as a Business man. He had several health related issues and that's the reason he may have appeared to sing somewhat different. Buck had suffered from strokes and also throat cancer! Buck Owens was the No.1 Country Music Artist!

[airdancr1]

As great as he ever was, even after a few. God bless my biggest country hero!

[uzi4u182]

that guy's pants are just way too tight, this isn't 80's hair metal dude

[robby844]

@uzi4u182 wow sad you dont know who that is.

[kentucky9000]

Buck owens was a Admiral in the united States Navy i pretty sure, fun song though.

[moproducer]

@kentucky9000 Not true at all. He never served in the military. Alvis Edgar Owens, Jr. (he was nicknamed Buck to distinguish 'Jr.' from 'Sr.') dropped out of school at age 15 to help support the family, Before he was 21, he was married and living on the west coast, eventually settling in Bakersfield, CA.

Nine years and several records later, in 1959, he had his first hit with "Second Fiddle". They didn't stop until Don Rich's 1974 death effectively brought an end to Buck's career as a singer.

[VelvetCyberpunk]

Buck Owens is the KING! He was a great talent and an awesome guy. I love him! Also Ringo's version was good, but in no way was it better.

[ioriorioriorio]

buck was an original...I agree...the real mcoy..sherman texas....bakersfield...who gives a shit??? I'm from waterbury ct.... and love it!!

[mercedes560sel]

Buck was an original and one of the best we will ever see . . . he was never the same however after Don passed . . hope you two are playing "together again" in Heaven!

[mercedes560sel]

Buck was an original and one of the best we will ever see . . . he was never the same however after Don passed . . hope you two are playing "together again" in Heaven!

[randytelecaster]

He wasn't drunk. Buck had throat cancer a few years earlier.

[4strokesarejokes]

why are the other dudes pants so damn tight.

[metgot9]

where's Don Rich? :(

[mercedes560sel]

@metgot9 Don was killed in a motorcycle accident in around 1972

[carney2000]

@mercedes560sel "dangerous"don rich died on july 17,1974

[sangolt88]

With that tight jeans, no wonder Dwight cant sing harmony.

[tripjet999]

Ringo's version is better.

[matt1284508]

RIP,Buck.You made the world a better place.I couldn't have imagined life without your music when i was a young lad.You didn't need Nashville but Nashville sure needed you.

[coolguyarm]

Buck was not drunk, He had done few years before throat cancer. That is why he sound like he was drunk.

[dillonocana]

This was in 1996

[iansocawarrior]

That's not a pair of trousers, it's a lifestyle choice!!

[1eyetrout]

thechrisv420

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah­ahaaaaaaaa..............thats some funny shit!!!!

[whitefalcone]

Buck may have been Drunk, If he was, it was because he had to get on stage in front of a live audience, on live TV, Thousands Watching, next to a man with skin tight rubber lover spandex rump ranger leotards on!!!! Jesus Dwight put some damn pants on!!! The only thing missing was the zuchini Squash Duct tape to his leg!!!

[safehouse123]

thats leather,,,,and Dwight looks divine:)

[Lupton2000]

Is this clip available on a DVD?

[TheChrisV420]

My father would sing this every time he got drunk. Only stopping to vomit or beat my mother with the trumpet he used to play in his high school band.

[sbonita69]

that's really sick,

my dad used to beat my mom w a trombone!!

[onelasssttime]

Buck ownes really aged well, and never lost that talent

[Tommyr]

Teles RULE!

[steviebkhall]

Hell Ya m,live to be there !! It was beautiful ! Thanks !

[alex0ml]

Hell yeah!!! Buck rocks!! I'm also from Mexico and I love Owen's and Yoakam's songs, specially buenas noches from a lonely room and Streets of Bakersfield, thanks for sharing

[steviebkhall]

yeah boi!!

[SteveGaines]

Buck was DRUNK that night..Watch Dwight Yoakum drop his head...He knew Buck was drunk..

[onelasssttime]

At his age and talent- let him be drunk if he chose..

[802Kevin]

@onelasssttime I think if you check, you will find that this was after Buck had suffered a stroke. He was never one to appear drunk or allow his band to.

[uglymoon78]

@802Kevin That's true. When he wanted to unwind he did it with women. One of the greatest womanizers in country music, for sure.

[simwrangler]

@802Kevin He also undergone throat cancer surgery in 1993

[CNSBecca]

@onelasssttime Buck Owens NEVER drank....When you consider he had throat cancer and part of his tongue removed then you might hit a little closer to home.

[dogtagz01]

buck owens is 1 of the best that's real country not this stuff today

[mastermetx]

Great artist always be great, dont matter if are in halls of fame or not, or if they have the nobels or not, Im a musician from México and I Know who is Buck, hes a great artist¡

[Sublym42]

I think he sounds pretty good here. He sounds very humble, hardly talks about himself in the acceptance speech-very admirable quality.

[kurva27]

2:37  nice juggs on the blonde

[cynthiapendley]

yup. : )

[Waymore15]

Buck isn't even plugged in

[Johi2410]

Yeah, poor Buck. He hasn't even got a wire. And without Don Rich it isn't what it really was... that was in 1996 I suppose... much too late for a great singer like Buck. He really deserved it a whole lot!! Thanks Buck...

[scooterdf]

The Country Music Association (the folks who run the Hall of Fame) is a joke to begin with. There's a lot of artists they've done wrong like they did with Buck's performance.

[SteveGaines]

Buck said in a 1999 interview.." After Don Rich died, The spark, the drive, the fire was gone"..Buck never got over Don's death.. It really ended Buck's career as well too. They were a match made in Heaven.

[Johi2410]

Right on. That's so true!

[65telecaster]

yeah,they wait until these guys are almost gone or forgotten to recognize the contribution they made to music history.we need more like buck today,sadly i don't think we will see any.

[tyler1501]

Cool!! Thanks!!

[markdehamelahotamail]

HOT!
