  • god love him he never lost that great voice

  • Holy Crap!! He still sounds great. Some of the other old timers, though I still love 'em.....their voices kinda changed around their 50's. His voice hasn't changed one iota. ;)

  • I was lucky enough to see Hank Locklin on the Opry at the Ryman in the early 70's, back in the days before Opryland, USA! Thanks for the musical memories!

  • Amazing he sounds just like he always has...You go Hank!!

  • 89 years old!! are you serious?? he still has the same voice as I know from the old singles from my pa... I truely love this, I'm 27, but I think I'm a fan.... LOVE YOU HANK LOCKLIN!!!

  • Simply an astonishing performance from an 89 year old. Brilliant.

  • Wonderful, and at 92, wowow, Hank was so smooth!

  • These lyrics meant much more when marriage meant much more. Nowadays "promised forever to have and to hold" is a joke.

  • @Appleholic1 brilliantly put....

  • Absolutely, unbelievable! Hank still had it in his 90's. Love it!!!!1

  • Fantastic still at his age singing this

  • Love this...No one can do this song like Hank....great to see & hear a true legend.....THANKS for sharing!!!

  • Thats so unbelieveable that he could sing this almost to the original record considering his age, singers of today couldnt do that.

  • Just pure country

  • Wow Bob !!!!!!!! blown away 90 you say , loved Hank from the age of 6 listening to grandads LP,s listened to that and the hairs on the back of my neck bristled what a gift to lovers of good music ,a true legend . Thank you

  • He was a great singer rip hank locklim

  • Where was this show recorded? Date?

  • YES... love it!!!! one of my 'childhood' heros!! thank you for posting...

  • Amazing a 90 year old Hank Locklin singing one of his many hits.Still sounds as good when he first recorded it.

  • brill .

  • unbelievable the man is nintey years old and sounds this good ....a lesson for all you wannabe's out there .

  • Hank is right in there with my all time favorites. He carried his melodys to his nineties. It is so hard to rate them against each other. They each have their own great songs. Jim Reeves, Eddy Arnold, Charlie Pride, Gene Autry, Scotty Wiseman, Red Foley, Boxcar Willie, Elvis, then there are the girls, Norma Jean, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Skeeter Davis, Donna Fargo the list is long. You notice though, there is no one from this century!

  • real man real sounds real soul 

  • What a guy! What a loss to C/W music!

  • Hope I'm that passionate about something when I'm over 90...great song

  • I LUV THIS THINg

  • when i was young, i worked at a movie theater, before the film, they would always play records. the projectionist loved this song, around 1960ish. always played it, each night. ill never forget.

  • Wow.. and 90+ he still had it...

  • Great singer, Grew up with his music in my house as my father liked him. He went to see him when he played in Ireland in the 70s. I think it was the hitchen post pub in Leixlip , Kildare. Still sounds great in the video. W|OW 91. Great Innings. Rip

  • All the Good One's are disappearing, Rest Their Souls,

    they'll never be forgot. Music of Today, just makes me

    want to PUKE !!!!!

  • Awesome Hank~!!!!!!! 

  • HOLY #@&!!! Did you expect this voice to still be this good? WOW!

  • Beautiful song and you do such a great job singing it.

  • The second #1 hit for the late Hank Locklin on the Country & Western Charts. It was also the 41st #1 C&W hit in the Rock Era.
