Louvin Brothers - I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby

[tennisbumojai]

Two live versions of this song on You Tube. Both are magnificent.

Charlie is having a great time here. Up on tiptoes to reach the high notes.

Gotta love Ira's voice.

[MrRazorblade999]

Effortlessly and brilliant.

[Washablecarrots]

Sorry to hear the loss yesterday of Paul Yandell. One great guitar player.

RIP Paul, Charlie and Ira.

[Hutch41]

Ira's had to be be the best singer in country music....we lost a lot when we lost him.

I read a plaque in Graceland saying that Elvis and his mother adored these two.....and you can hear why.

[MissGummi]

I saw this video at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville this summer! I kept them in mind so I could look them up when I got home. I dig their sound! I could give a critique of the museum, but this isn't the place. Either way, they harmonize so nicely, I was a fan instantly!

[psychedelicsam1]

true legends, thats for sure

[hunterv41]

They are great for sure.  There were other country "brother" duets that were great also; Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Teddy & Doyle Wilburn, and Sonny & Bobby Osborne to name a few.

[buttgrubber69420]

I am here because I named my dogs Charlie and Ira unbeknownst to these fellas. Pretty funny coincidence!

[dabrilloman]

Classic...absolutely classic!



[Mouldytone]

Rest in peace Charlie and Ira. No-one dies who is remembered! What a fabulous legacy of brilliant recordings they`ve left us.

[huskernloper]

I stand corrected about Anita Carter on bass. Great song!

[towne777]

The way Ira comes in with just the last word of certain sentences, totally knocks me out.!! Their counterpoint Melody/ Harmony is truly amazing, though I had an older video of them singing this song, in Black and White, and the harmonies were more Spot On. Ira seems subdued here, which was probably good for his personal life ,but not necessarily for his music ! For some reason THEY took the ones I had off my Favorites, and put different ones on.THEY can't fool me though!!!!

[palmpedal]

Charlie was an inspiration and a wonderful person to be around. I really miss him.

[Paboll]

Perfect harmony means Louvin´s voices

[MotheredANiMaL]

RIP Charlie Loudermilk

[huskernloper]

Anita Carter on stand up base!

[welshhillbillyful]

@huskernloper It is Jerry Johnson on bass.She was the younger sister of Wilma Lee Cooper.Her husband Johnny can just be seen to her right playing rhythm guitar.The other guitarist is Smiley Wilson,Paul Yandell is on electric guitar.

[PriestsandParamedics]

Ernest Tubb in the background

[ONLYthroughTHECROSS]

[frymahhide1982]

[mountainat85]

that's some high tenor

[MuddyRootsMusic]

The Louvin Brothers have changed my life. I was sad to hear Charlie would no longer be able to perform at Muddy Roots. R.I.P. Charlie

[twinbit]

R.I.P. Charlie

[sallygal7]

These guys were blessed.  Listening to them just makes you feel happy to be alive.

[msfanaddict]

They sound great! Thanks for turning me on to this Top Dog! I followed your link!

[Elgatoviejo]

I like the dude on the Gretsch and the chick bass player.

[CommanderRZ]

Picker50...thanks for putting a name to the guitar player. they are all such amazing talents. I would really like to see the Louvin's doing there version of The Wabash Cannon Ball. I've only been able to find it on a used cassette tape I found.

[djlegand]

[PinballyB]

Dad always likes this song.

[CommanderRZ]

What a great video...The wonderful Louvin's and that amazing unknow cast of players and Ernest Tubb.......Wow!

[picker50]

@CommanderRZ the fellow on lead guitar is a guy named paul yandell. he went on to play with barbara mandell, jerry reed and from the late 70s to the late 90s chet atkins. you will see him in alot of chets videos.

[Elgatoviejo]

Thanks for identifying Paul Yandell as the lead player, he is a great player, saw him with Chet in the 90's.

[louvinzappa]

Bravo! Gotta love these boys.

[paulmechem]

the finest brother duo.....EVER

[palmerstonian]

The Louvin Brothers made possibly the finest, purest music I have ever heard - and I've heard a hell of a lot. This is wonderful.

[CARROLLCTYDOBROGIRL]

Ira & Charlie had beautiful bluegrass harmony. Thanks for posting. This one's for my son. It was a favorite!

[clfhcks]

I got to meet Charlie a couple years back when I was in Nashville for Don Healms' funeral, didn't find out he was Charlie Louvin till afterwards!

[pedalman]

We need a DVD set of this legendary duo

[jerry854]

Thanks for this video. I found the Louvin brothers in the 90's and finally connected with THIS song in my head for some odd 30 years. Coming from a farm family in Arkansas...this brought back memories of the good and bad life of farm life. My dad gave up the farm for an aerospace job but never lost the dirt under his fingernails. Once a farmer...always a farmer...He was a WWII US Marine too...and once a Marine...always a Marine. He was my hero. Louvin Bros made farm life a bit better. Thanks.

[skatekidd77]

Man oh man this is some really awesome stuff. Thanks for showing it.

[boleary100]

awesome and very very beautiful, thanks for posting

[fredro2]

Bill Monroe was once asked who was the best tenor he had ever heard. He said "There ain't been but two and Ira's dead".

I really loved that.

[onearmguitarist84]

sure wish i cuold have seen them in person. did see rebe and rabe,and later was priviledged to sing and record with rabe perkins.and got to be on same program with charlie louvin,one of my favorites.

[oldtimemusicmachine]

Charlie and Ira, still my favorites.

Larry, Germany

[djrockncountry]

Love them still. LarryMusicMan

[dreadnought45]

Too urgnnaluvit: Thanks for the information. I thought I knew everything. I guess my wife was right, I don't. I love the old days ( the 50's) of country music, listening to WWVA radio late at night and dragging myself off to school in the morning. I really enjoy these videos.

Ken, Toronto

[dontdodrugzz1]

WHO IS THESE GANGSTAS?

[gasshuffer]

@dontdodrugzz1 dat b ira n charlie. dem's some sand mountain niggaz.

[dreadnought45]

I never knew Wilma Lee had a sister. Very interesting. Who was she married too?

Ken , Toronto

[urgnnaluvit]

@dreadnought45 Jerry was Married to musician Johnny Johnson whose Sister was Married to Ira at the time. Johnny worked with Ernest Tubb and several other stars. Around this time she joined Roy Acuff as his "girl singer" for several years and then worked with Cousin Jody through the mid 60s. She can also be heard on some of Wilma Lee and Stoney's records.

[urgnnaluvit]

That's Jerry Johnson on bass! Sister-in-law to Ira and Wilma Lee Cooper's Sister.

[packingten]

Great

[skeetabix36]

This is some of the best footage on youtube. I cant believe it, The Louvins in colour. And yes I agree we need a legendary performances dvd of The Louvins

5+++

[hillbillydj]

Ira's temper prevented a lot of recordings that would have been in color. We miss seeing the Louvins on film during the height of their career, again due to the fact that Ira was a lil spitfire!

[LarryMusicMan]

Fantastic ! First time in my life after more then 50 years I see the Louvin Brothers in color. It's incredible, the international music industry, even in Nashville, is not abel or willing, to give us the opportunity to buy DVDs with the best vocal group of the 50s and early 60s. They only will make money with the modern C & W trash.

[welshhillbillyful]

Smiley and Kitty Wilson,and Johnny Johnson are the other musicians.Paul Yandellhas an excellent website,with some good photos of the Louvins.

[workpics]

It's from the Gannoway films, around 1956.

[buckbuck666]

wow more video of my favorite duo where did this come from anyone know timeframe?or what show this is?paul yandell on lead yes? so kool i keep waiting for someone to find some footage of them at the opry now that would rock............

[chilcootgirl]

Looks like the Ernest Tubb Show and that is Paul Yandell on lead guitar.

[BanjoBoyMatteo]

This looks to be from the late 50s...I'd say 1957-60
