@Mattea68 this was looping....that was the studio cut and Emmy's voice

Awesome Duet!!! There is a version of "Hangin On" by Vern and Emmylou posted on Youtube. Loved it also.

@MyCanadianeh I meant he never reached the amount of fame he really deserved
-
@Mattea68 i dont think so

i dont think this was originally done with emmy and this is her. janie fricke i believe was on this song and if you compare the sound of her voice to the voice you here on till the end it sounds the same.

Love Janie Fricke as well. She sings great harmony.
Thanks, Oak

He's one of the all time best and should have been on the Time Life Golden Country collection. Anybody know why not?

A guy who owed a lot to this song was R&B singer Joe Simon This was Joe's first big record

What a voice! There has never been, nor will ever be, another singer like Vern Gosdin. He should have had many more years on this earth. However, his true fans will never forget him, or tire of his great songs.
Not to take anything away from Janie, but wasnt this Duet Originally with Vern Gosdin and Emmylou Harris?

I believe that the Gosdin Brothers (Vern & Rex) had the original in 1967.
Margie Singleton & Leon Ashley also released a version later the same year.
Personaly I have not heard Emmylou sing this song, and its not in any discography lists of hers that I can find, unfortunately.

I am Pretty Sure this was Vern's first #1 single he wrote. I know it wouldnt be under of Emmylou's Albums but i know is on Verns. I do know he had Janie singing backup for some of his songs. Vern had a voice that worked well with anyone on duets

Of course, not many has sang more duets & backup and so on than Emmylou, so I can't guarantee that she hasn't done this song. But as I said, I can't find it in any discography that I have available. That include Vern's.
That, of course, don't mean that it doesn't exist.....
The song was written by Ira Allen & Buddy Mize.
