GOD---why do so many thousands of sad guys put pics up on the 'net below the waist????---Never in a million years can deluded images like that EVER compete with "talking eyes" and a voice that can melt your heart! Now--that IS...true SEXY to any real woman,lol! K xx
I'm favouriting this because it is absolutely a superb video...I have to admit to loving his "lived-in" face now of wonderful character and his voice as great as ever but watching this,it is amazing to see those lovely,intense eyes never ever lost "that look" and his voice has been forever gorgeous. Who you are,as those eyes tell us,never ever diminishes no matter the age reached...if anything,he has become even greater "quality" because of the years. That voice,of course,is eternal! K xx
To me this man is one of the worlds best composers of a song, others might have a greater range of voice , but still he can put over the lryics of a song in his style like no other, a complete original artist
@Gatorrock787 I am not at all a Willie Nelson expert but 1963 is a good guess. 1963 was also the year when Rusty Draper had a hit with a song named "Night", written by Willie Nelson.
Thanks for the update, I am a huge fan and have scoured the net for clips, photos and articles from way back...Willie also played bass for Ernest Tubb, too....
It is fun to see that he got that deep 'Willie' sound on a guitar with no holes worn in it. Sure hope they let you leave this one up! Thanks for sharing.

Always loved the clean cut Willie, though this definitely wasn't his best - vocals or fingering. Thanks for this one, never seen it either!

Willie was great from the beginning!
He wrote a lot of very sophisiticated songs back then, on the level of New York writers in their outlook.
He was the Sinatra of country then.

This sounds like his trademark Outlaw music of later years; sort of like Ghostwriters in the Sky.
