[captainhow1949]

great tibute to one of the true great country singers!

[44brovenka]

Oh, this is a very sad song, but also a song about everlasting love for his brother. They were great together, and Charlie is great alone too! I just love this song, and I very much hope they are together now!

[mdginzo]

I got to meet Charlie in Bell Buckle several years ago. RIP.

[TheFramer38]

I just go back to this song since its one of the songs you just can't stop listening to, Hope you and your brother are singing with the angels now.

[CountryBoyJersey]

A wonderful tribute to Ira from Charlie. . .Now they are back together singing with the angels. The music will live on forever. There is something special about family harmony that you can't get from anywhere else. Thanks for the music.

[rooster5673]

IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS EVERYDAY AND SOME DAYS SEVERAL TIMES. IT TELLS STORY ABOUT A MAN THAT WAS HEARTBROKEN AND TO THE END NEVER FORGOT HIS FAMILY AND BROTHER. A GREAT TRIBUTE TO A GOOD FRIEND.I NEVER GOT TO SEE CHARLIE OR IRA BUT I LISTEN TO THE GOOD COUNTRY GROWING UP .THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

[TheNolocontendre]

I got to see him at the bluebird in Denver on his last tour a few years back..... I went all by myself. It was one of the greatest shows I ever saw. I knew every word and sang along. He signed my poster I had stolen weeks earlier. I let him keep my red magnum 44 for signing other peoples stuff. He was so nice- shook everybodys hand. All 30 of us got a chance to see a piece of reality behind American folklore that night. *A true moment in life when life stares back.

I got the privalige of seeing Charlie in san fran on his last tour. My uncle played the drums in his band so I got to go in the tour bus and meet him. That was a great point in my life, this guy has inspired country artist for generation and he is a true legend. His songs are pure insperation and come strait from the heart. It is a shame that we lost him late last year, may he rest in peace and may his music last forever. "some day soon il sing with you and the angels, hallailua Ira"

[wimpyliberalbuster32]

Ah shit, just heard Charlie passed....all the good country guys are dropping like flies. This really makes me sad. God bless the Louvin Brothers. Only good thing is they are making harmony in heaven now.

[georgejonesfan93]

I got a call from one of my friends who was close to Charlie yesterday morning saying he passed away at 2 am, He was such a great man who's been fighting with pancreatic cancer for a long while. I cried when I found out, but at least now he's with his brother up in heaven

[Rcksaltnnails]

You are no longer missing him Charlie, and you are a duet again, singing with the angles!

[nashvillemusicspace]

Just the most awesome song ever!

[edmdonald]

The Louvin Brothers is the best that there ever was and that there ever will be. I am blessed to have gotten to see them perfom in Lynchburg, Va. in 1954. I will never forget going to see them. Thanks Charlie and Ira for this great harmony sound, one of a kind.

[kc7fys]

When Charlie lost his fingers--helping somebody put down their trailer awning--it was another tragedy in this story. Charlie's a great guy and I'm honored to have met him.

[MtMozart]

Wow~

[chrisrox62]

fuck ira

[atcmaniac]

@chrisrox62 fuck you , you piece of shit

[kc7fys]

@chrisrox62 Really. Keep the inappropriate language out of here. You can express the same idea using actual language. What's appropriate on the Korn video isn't here.

[lumpher]

stunning.. ira was killed on the day i was born... i already said that... and charlie's birthday is the same as my wife's

[buckbuck666]

one hell of a tribute thx charlie =) god bless

[superzeno01]

What a voice and a fitting tribute to one of the greats, This was country/ bluegrass at it's best, there will never be another close harmony like this again. You can sense the missing in his voice, despite all of Ira's faults Charlie still loved him..

[lumpher]

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

[lumpher]

you can hear his pain, the sign of an ultimate singer, not a performer

[reallifesuperhero]

This makes me remember my husband. Miss you babe. xo

[muddyooch]

A jaw dropper for me. Truly touching. I got all choked up. What sweet harmony and a great song. He would never let us down!

[buckbuck666]

the stuff on that stone makes ya cry kool rock em charlie

[moderntoast]

Sweet song. My partner and I do two Louvin Brothers songs and love singing them...

[Rcksaltnnails]

It has been a year since my last posting on this song, a song I visit often. It touches me more today then it did when I heard it a year ago, and it will touch me more every time I hear it. Now, at that same 2:08 mark, I wept again. This song touches me, and others, in such a way that no song today on the radio can do. I thank God everyday that I still have my brother, and that i can listen to both Charlie and Ira sing on cd's, cassettes, and even old LP's. Bless them both.

[avasgani]

beautiful.What harmony when they were together.Many childhood memories.Together forever in love and in song.

[avasgani]

beautiful

[wesleymclean]

A moving tribute by a brother, for a brother.

[Aphidboy]

Absolutely beautiful. You're the King, Charlie.

[loverofcountry506070]

I just found this video. What a very moving tribute to his brother. The music of Ira and Charlie Louvin will live forever. Great job Charlie, and thank you so much.

[pedalman]

Charley, if you read these comments That was beautiful , your voice is still soulful and solid, and pure country.

A big fan from the UK.

You say you hear Ira, Charlie... and we still hear you. What a beautiful video, and what a story it sheds light on.

[kmcwhq]

Aw....that's cute.....very special one brother to another. FIVE stars!

[musicmaker1999]

charlies great sense of loss even after all these years is so painfully obvioushe is pouring his heart out in this beautiful song for me nothing tops it bravo for this posting

[halmahouse]

Back to the song...neat and thoughtfull words..these guys were something when I got to see them in 1963 at a barn dance.such harmony. Love their music which is still popular today!

[canarino90]

[VeeVeeVeeV]

42 years later......

still missing his brother......

this pulls on the heart strings!!

amazingly beautiful!!

[buckbuck666]

so great to actually see some footage of ira in person there is just so little available of this brilliatly talented person available on the net or anywhere for that matter what a tragic oversight that this duo wasnt video recorded more than they were. according to the country music hall of fame they only did a handful of tv spots and hardly anything was recorded such a huge shame really

[forgottenon3]

wtf???

[PaulinaRena]

I've always loved the Louvin Brothers music and as we see in this video that Charlie misses his brother so much. What a duo they were. A sweet and sad tribute to Ira here.

I read on a country music site today that Charlie is releasing an album this coming December called "Murder Ballads and Disaster Songs". I know many old songs have that theme in them but I have a hard time listening to them myself. However, I wish Charlie much success with this upcoming album. Thank you - Paula

[bodine69]

went on the net and found this one. the louvin brother's has a song i love.. the knoxville girl my best friend's grandmother gave me the 45.

[Rcksaltnnails]

for 2 minutes, and 10 seconds, I fought back the tears......I heard the mandolin playing in the background, and I weeped openly.

You can find a smoother, stronger, younger sounding voice than Charlie's was in this song, but you will NOT find a more honest, powerful, and loving voice than this.

32 years later, and his love, and pain, almost seem stronger now.

[Gatorrock786]

A beautiful tribute to a lost friend and brother. Sing on, Charlie!

[wickenden]

I'm so happy to have found this. I love this song and the legacy Charlie still represents.

I wish Gram could have lived to hear it.

[Kumarajiva]

Thought of Ira's sweet music, thought of the brothers I love and don't see half as often as I should. Bless you, Charlie.

[thpeter]

This is really touching. Brought a tear to my eye.  Thank you for posting this.

[vonhorn29]

this was bitter sweet

[guitaress1]

Charlie's voice is so beautiful, and this song is a fine tribute to Ira. Lovely

[kidbuck33]

they parted ways in 1963,then ira died in 1965. they were elvis p. favorate.

[jimsers1]

I had the privlege of hearing Ira and Charlie at a barn dance in Kentucky in 1963, and can really understand Charlie's words in this song. Their harmony and ability to sign with each other was bueatiful. I love this song!

[yahasif]

Just stumbled on this song, Great great music. Thank you to who ever put this up.

[Aphidboy]

This is what's possible when country people sing country music about love and family and loss. This is country music that goes right straight to the heart. Thanks an awful lot for posting it. (Yeah, it made me cry, too.) RB -- Iowa

[kidbuck33]

iam all blues and soul, rock and roll. but i have always loved tear jerkers bluegrass just as good. i just found louvin bros. i cried on this one. iam in heaven.

[qingerlw]

This song really made me cry, and I'm not one who cries over songs easily. I listen to so much of their early stuff that I came to know of their perfect harmony, and I can imagine how hard it is for him to lose someone so necessary ...

[FLS69]

Charlie, You know how much I love and have since I worked for you 25 years ago. I still say you're the best. This song only proves it!

Freddy from Indiana........

[screen2157]

This is just about the the greatest thing I've ever seen. Praise Jesus. Let's all live right, and we'll all sing with Ira and Charlie and the angels.

[StAlphege]

That is just brilliant. Real music from the heart.

[StAlphege]

PS, and I promptly ordered the CD - arrived today, recommended !

[Humpalot17]

great song

[bulbheadmyass]

OMG, this is one of the most touching videos I've ever seen. The Louvin Brothers are such legends, this brings such a human side to it. I never really thought about Charlie's loss.

[buckbuck666]

s u

[mclenptp]

What a beautiful song sung with so much sad feeling.Great job,Charlie.RIP,Ira.

[buckbuck666]

please dont listen to the nay sayers who say ira was not a kool person.HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD STOP TO HUG A LITTLE KID ON THERE WAY TO THE STAGE.NOT MANY STARS ILL WAGER.IRA LOUVIN L I V E S MY HERO

[Arbed225]

a touching tribute to a loved one.

[love2lickabbw]

Quite possibly the single most powerful song I have ever heard. Charlie's love, and pain are being wore on his sleeve for all of us to see, share, enjoy, and cry. Thanks for the great music Ira, and thank you Charlie.

[me4vols]

An awesome song and tribute to one of the greatest.

[tonopahslim]

This is country music at its finest. Really, it's what makes the music so special and honest and true. The song brings tears to my eyes every time, it's absolutely gorgeous. Charlie is a legendary artist for good reason.

[chet420615]

Charlie, you are do the one and only.

Terje Tangen

[brendabenoit]

What an awesome video full of memories !! Charlie you are the best!!

[Joeruckermusic]

What a fantastic video filled with memories of one of the most influential groups in the history of music. Charlie Louvin is an American icon who went on to have great solo success. Hearing him sing about the loss of his brother goes beyond the music itself. It hits home with anyone who has a brother. What a wonderful video of a well crafted song!!! Great stuff!!! - Joe Rucker
