Ned Miller - From A Jack To A King

[WytZox1]

Back in the early 60s this was 1 of those rare C&W tunes that crossed over to Top 40.

[TheLyricsandSuch]

My dad used to sing this to me when I was little.

[1942ann]

[nanablueeyes]

i sang this for my dad in the early 60's miss you dad and i send this song to my dad beauitful song

[dicktuttle]

I have this song filed under "My Music" on my desk top. Even though I have it on the old "LP's", on the old "45" and on various CD's I still listen to it on my computer a lot while I'm checking/answering E-mails and other work. It is definitely a song and singer, anyone who loves "OLD" country and "OLD" Rock n' Roll, would want to have handy. Another great one, from that era was DAVID HOUSTON's "ALMOST PERSUADED"

[fonbets]

fantastic

[Jesusrosephilcollins]

I really like this song, but almost everyday I am singing it for no reason at all. I don't understand it.

[MsSherri48]

I was born in 48.. but bring all the old country back any day over the new modern stuff

[brenda18015]

This was the first song i heard early one morning actually woke me for school i love music ever since I agree bring it ALL back ,to think i am 64 now and it still send shivers down my spine .Wow

Thank-you for the upload - Fabulous ole classic. Anyone know the year of this recording? I love the 50's feel.



[TheBabyboomkidof53]

@hisssed this song was issued in 1957 then reissued in 1963. I was 4 in 57 but remember it playing on radio very well. siblings and parents always had music going around me.

[dicktuttle]

I dated a beauty in 62 then was drafted. This was our last song together.

[FRANKY7362]

@dicktuttle Same thing happend to me in 66, the song was "Sitting on the dock of the bay by Ottis Redding", should of stayed with her in Auckland NZ instead of heading back to the UK, love these sentimental oldies, this one by Ned is a killer.

[DoubleP73]

Im young but this song reminds me of my nan and great uncle George singing along at the family parties Love you nan x x x x

[stmarkandeyan]

Ned Miller's VOICE itself is a magic 'Human Instrument"

-Mark endra Markandeyan-

[BobbyDSwift]

Memories, Ned lived across the street from us in Camarillo Ca. growing up as kids. Really enjoy the song still today. One day I hope to write a song as good as Ned. God bless, Bobby.

[countrymusicken]

I like this version better than RVS or EP or JM or SW or ever Carl Denver. Is the Ned Miller version the one I remember from years ago?

[ClassicMscLuvrGrl14]

ned miller is hot! how old is he now? do he still look the same?

[steadystride]

Life is a gamble and love all the more. What a beautiful song. "Let ride, let the whole thing ride"

Great song, thanks. Brings back memories of a Husky truck stop outside of Regina, Sask.

[bigalright]

My dad had two favorite songs .... Bobby Helms ' My Special Angel' and this one by Ned Miller. .... Thanks for posting this!

[tagewa]

Must be the best "From A Jack To A King"! I have heard a lot of singers, but not so good like this. And I remember the good old days. I have some favorites: Elvis, Ned Miller, Patsy Cline, Jerry Lee Lewis... and of course "Rock-Olga" from Sweden. Very Sorry she died for just a few days ago! She was the rock-queen here! Listen to What you´ve done to me!!!!!!!! She is outstanding!

From Ewa "Lillan" Sweden

[NiKoRaSu15]

I so was born in the wrong period of time! I wish I lived back in those days when music was true...

[NcicHit]

One of those songs that when it was released 90% of the people liked it.

[eskimomick]

My mum's favorite song god bless her.

[zaaritha]

Better than Jim Reeve´s version!

[BrickPa]

@zaaritha Did you expect less from the man who wrote the song!

[MrPhsst]

@BrickPa NED MILLER DID NOT ORIGINALLY WRITE THIS SONG.

[BrickPa]

@MrPhsst Sorry bub, the reference I have (in this case the booklet in the Bear Family album "From A Jack to A King") credits Ned Miller as the writer. If you have something different cite your reference.

[wes2wes]

greate memoriesfrom thisone

[roythefish]

fantastic...memories of growing up with ma and da playing this at partys. I love this, played it five times already tonight. Thanks friend.

[butler22070]

awesome post thanx

[zaaritha]

A favorite!

[y0utubemetube]

Love songs like this.Why cant songs these days have an acoustic melody and rich harmonies like this?

[LandoftheShanks]

@y0utubemetube Because they've been dominated by computers and gotten too complex. Hence the reason we won't be remembering them in years to come like we remember wonderful songs and people like Ned Miller.

[LittleSis28]

This was one of my dad's very favorite songs. He used to go around singing it to himself all the time. He passed away last summer. Thanks for the post. Great song.

[tgon1563]

This song always reminds me of visits to my Granny back in the fifties. It was indeed a magical period on my life.

[redlegwith101]

There was lots of song come out at that time. I hate to see the young mess up the mood that was back then. 48 years ago I was 20. Such a good life that God from whom all blessing flow.

[elvissegal]

I think Elvis used this version for creating his... excellent!

[viv062540]

Thanks for sharing. Very good.

[zaaritha]

Old favorite!

[billdadd50]

[CrazyWindwalker]

Thank You so much for sharing this song. Im from India and there are a number of us here who love the old legends and their lovely songs. This song brings back so many fond memories... I just closed my eyes and savoured the sweet melody. God bless you !!!!!

[ASite4u2c]

I have a different version of Ned singing this song on a CD. Maybe it is the album version from 1963. It sounds like it was recorded around the same time period.

Still feel this is Ned's best tune because it showcases his range a little better than any other song, especially on the word, "twinkle".

Also, like the tune, "Big Love", which, unfortunately, missed the Pop charts shortly after this hit. All of his songs should have been hits.

Thanks for the memories and the Posting.

[smut60]

Without any shadow of doubt, the best version of this classic song. Thank you for posting it.
