Don Gibson - Oh, Lonesome Me (Original Remastered)

[Nocaro]

@flashbell Who did that? Obviously Ray made it a hit, but Don's writing of the song has always been credited.

[Nocaro]

@flashbell Here's a copy of what I had originally noted: "Singer/Songwriter Don Gibson was originally from Shelby, NC, and he wrote and recorded some of the most famous country and crossover pop songs in history. Among them, "I Can't Stop Loving You" (a hit for Ray Charles"...in that statement where did I credit Ray Charles for "Oh Lonesome Me"???

[tommyjohnsr]

he probably means roger miller but - no - it was don as I was about 13 when this came out.

Always loved this song. Might not have it if not for Chet Atkins. RCA listened to Don and didn't like it. Chet had huge influence at RCA and told them "If you don't have Don Gibson, you don't have Chet Atkins" Listen to the guitar in the background, that is Chet. And we dearly miss him as well.

This song has a lot of meaning to me. I was in Navy boot camp when this song was popular and just to prove the point of the song, I got a dear John letter. Now I can laugh about it

[stockcar4d]

i thought roger sang this?

[Nocaro]

@stockcar4d Roger who? Don wrote the song and originally recorded it, but many others have sung it since.

[stockcar4d]

@Nocaro roger miller....even tho its too serious for him lol

[HomeDepot20TS]

@stockcar4d There's a great deal of serious Roger Miller tunes. He's one of my personal favorites for that reason. He can make you laugh or move you to tears.

[lflarry1]

@Nocaro Roger Miller I believe is the Roger he means

GREAT music- this was on EVERY US Navy enlisted men's club juke boxes from San Diego to Yokosuka Japan and Subic Bay back in Summer of 1960. I still LOVE It and remember all the words- again many thanks for posting it.
