Thank you Mr. Hank Locklin, for the gift of this song. Forever it will keep my heart connected to my father that sat with me one day, to my surprise with his guitar and taught me this song.
First record my wife bought right after we were married in 1958. Hank grew up in the county in which I grew up, too. Great man from a great family. Now I do the song at karaoke. . . a treat for me.
Even at this age his voice is perfect to a great extent. In the sixties and for many years after I loved t o listen to his songs. Thanks for the effort.
one thing; I'm always so disappointed if the applause is cut off, so you can't see or hear how the people react, and escepeccially what the singer expresses when he's getting that applause.. Please stop cutting off video's before they end, and even windows movie maker has the opportunity to fade out at the end; use that please...
my mom cleaned Hanks house for 20 something years and still cleans for his widow Anita Locklin and he was a even better and more fun person person off stage than he was on when i was around him he wasn't a holier than thou person it was like hanging with a friend
he was my friend,Almost an uncle,and still is a great inspiration
@SeveringAnthony I guess that's what I've always been thinking of him, allthough I only know him from my father's very old single collection... Never doubted about he should be a very friendly person off stage, because I guess he was someone who couldn't fake his emotions...
How old was he here I wonder..still had the voice, I used to sing this when I was a singer years ago, if only I'd had 1/2 his voice ! Glenda-Marie London xx
Is he dead now ? I don't know him.. in 1980 it was in Holland a big, big hit , very famous in Holland, everybody knows this song, also now in 2010....
Hank Locklin was a legend in his lifetime. His songs will be everlasting even though we have lost him. I can't believe how good he sounds for his age in this video - amazing!! Thank you for post.
love this man last of the good old real country singers i was so sad to heare of his passing god bless you hank and thank you for years of great songs and singing rip you lovely man
My mom had one of his LPs singing this song and I can remember singing it in the 4th grade at the time! LOL How GOOD N SWEET country music was back then. It was REAL and not the stuff they play on country radio stations today. God bless Hank Locklin!
forget the spelling you got it right. Even though Mr Locklin's voice is a little shaky. Big deal. After all he is a legend. Thank you the comment on his dressing. The long ago performer dressed to impress. 50% of what you heard from the stage was what you saw. It is true. or was true. Today performers come on stage like we were working on the car and though we d stop by and perform for you. Whatever happened to class and respect?
I may be 20 years young but I have been listning to this song and many more by Hank since a much younger age. I wish someone whoud share their pillow with me.
i love this! sounds so great! one of my favorites! i was a baby when i first heard this! born in 1960, but tnx to my mom! it is forever in my head! belongs in the country hall of fame! if its not there already!! YES
I have commented on this before, but I just have to say, this will forever be one of my all-time favorite country songs. No one will ever do it like Hank Locklin could. Hank was really getting on in years in this video, and still sounds GREAT! I've been at the Opry many times when he was on the program, and he always gave a fine performance. FIVE STARS
I am 32 and had never heard of him until one day I walked into my parents and he was at the kitchen table playing music with former hank willams musician clent holems, it soon become common to see him there having a good time with my parents and playing great music.
this is sad for us opry fans...we lost mr. locklin and mr. ernie ashworth within the same week. Last year, I heard Mr. Locklin sing this song live on the Opry at the age of 90 and he sang it in the same key as when he originally recorded it.....very impressive.
"And then there were None.".....after the news today of Hank Locklin's passing, left us with only the pretenders and impersonators of real Coutry Music......
You are correct. The country music today is a poor duplicate of those older singers. I can remember when There was Hank Locklin, Hank Snow and Hank Thompson along with many others. Those were the days of the really good singers. I will miss this man and may he rest in peace. His songs were great.
There will NEVER be country singers like the "three Hanks"; Kitty wells is another one. Thanks and very well said! I wouldn't go to the Grand Ole Opry these days if it were located right across the street (and I've been countless times in years gone by). It will never be the same.
What a loss for country music!! Hank will certainly be missed! This legend should have been in the Hall of Fame but those fools have consistantly overlooked him. Now, he's gone......................... R.I.P. Mr. Hank. You will be missed!
I can't imagine any country music lover not liking Hank as a person and as a singer. THANKS for post.
