@saintseiya71 You must be very shallow and humourless, and have no sense of history. Ferlin Huskey was an amazing and sucessful artist who was so confident in what he had achieved that he could take the mickey out of himself. Cant you see that ?????????? he didnt have to prove anything, they were having fun enjoying memories . I'm sorry for you as I think if you reach his age(85) you wont have much to look back on with pleasure.!!!!!!!!!!

A fine tribute to a hugely talented entertainer. Country music just wouldn't have been the same without him.

I listened to a lot of country as a kid. Back in the early sixties you could hear country, rock, and pop all on the same radio station. I heard Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Ferlin Husky all within one hour, and that was in Cincinnati, not some little town. I was a typical teenager with one major exception, Ferlin was (and is) my all time favorite singer. Listen to Gone or Wings Of A Dove. Saw him live in '65. How lucky I was!

Have to add another coment! If you do not like pure country music, then do not listent to Ferlin!

[kscot1950t]

What a loss. I got to see him in Montana in the early 70s, and he was great!

Ferlin was definitely one of a kind...entertainer, musician, singer, writer, and businessman. He was a good friend and I treasure the time we spent together in Canada, doing TV and live performances. There are simply none of the hot new artists that will still be performing fifty years from now, and I doubt very much that any of today's hits will become standards like Wings of A Dove. Rest in peace, old friend.

Just wanted to say to all the old timers alive and passed on. Your music will never die. Thanks @larrygaum for one of us who enjoy real music. Thankyou

@Larrygaum So true,Country music improved from the 1900's up to the 60's then it seems to have levelled out, the Rock and Roll grew out of country music and caused the "Nashville Sound" which, though good, tended to water down true country. Then we had the "Outlaws" that broke free from the Nashville Sound.So now Country music seems to be splintered. Some artists are trying to preserve Old Time, Blue grass and Western Swing but looking back, the golden years of Country Music seem to be over.

I saw Ferlin in Toronto, Ontario in the 70s, with his wife and son performing. I loved him and still do. The C&W performers of his vintage were the best. I don't consider todays music C&W, just a lot of glitz and horse and pony shows. Husky, Hank Snow, Ferin Young, Earnest Tubb, Cash, Williams, and many more were stars. Today, who remembers their names?

@saintseiya71 Why was you on here then? You will be old some day, we are all going to be unless we die when we are young. You were the one who disliked this video was'nt you? I f you don't like it don't watch it. I have two questions for you, the first is Do you have your parents/grandparents that are old? Secondly, do you hate them too?

It's interesting to note that it was at the turn of the century that and the Hall of Fame seems to have looked back and realised who they had overlooked.in the past. 2001 was the only year when 19 people were inducted into the Hall of Fame, among them aqt last the Delmore Brothers, 49 years after Rabon died of cancer aged 36!
