[Dhurrin2]

ah, my favourite version, I love it, thanks for posting it here

[mariancolts]

Want a wonderful voice!

The so -called country singers today should listen what real country music is.

Bobby Bare is the best story teller.

While this is a Tom T. Hall classic, Bobby can really sing this song, too. Then again, has Bobby ever recorded a bad song? Not that I know of. Thanks for sharing.

Loved him from the first time I heard him.

[pmmdrt]

Bare put this great song in the early seventies on record.

[zaaritha]

Great version of TomT Hall´s song!

[rdickins100]

rdickins100--The story telling of Tom T. hall resonates in this song. Great music.

[maxitismakedon]

who's Delaney?Did he exist?

[PadraikKasier]

Yeah, Tom T. Hall knew a Clayton Delaney; but he's less of a real person than sort of a stand-in for one's beloved childhood heroes.

My dad loved to sing and this song was one of them too.

R.I.P. Dad - till we meet again.

Bare's smooth voice fit this song so well and the song "Four Strong Winds" was the best of that song ever done. We played and sang all those songs back in the 70's when I was in a band- and I still have the 1972 Ovation I played then and play them now.

[Aphidboy]

This song was made to match Bobby's voice.

I always admired the lyrics -- "nobody ever knew it, but I went out in the woods and cried."

The song is about our heros and how we love them, and that's a darned good thing. One heck of a song.

[John1948Thirteen]

You nailed it about heros. My Dad was my hero. He died in 1986 and I still miss him.

[Aphidboy]

Amen, John.

My Dad went in '88, and I miss him every day.

[ryanandkayleh]

I love this man and every song he ever sang thanks for posting it

[trm10003]

good song a good singer should be more of this music

[JamesGU4]

I believe I am right when I say that this was Bobby Bare's only No. 1 hit. Pity, because he deserved much greater success and recognition.

[mtchair4me]

Bare, and Cash were in classes by themselves. Both were unique in there own ways. This is the first time I have heard Bares' Rendition of this song. Only one word GREAT.

[2hot4summer]

haha. Theres a guy in my class named clayton delaney :P

He told me about this song

[highnrising]

Bare. when he was on, was on a par with Cash.

He should have had more than one No. 1 hit and he should be honored and remembered a lot more than he is.
