  • Wow!!! I was almost in tears watching this video. I just spoke to his daughter; Tonya Nelson last week. Henry Nelson was a pioneer and a great influence on artist such as The Campbell Bros. as well as my man "cool Rob" Robert Randolph. I grew in the H.O.G. church...in his time, Nelson was indeed a modern-day David.

  • He was an awesome steel player indeed!

  • Thanks for posting this cut of Deacon Nelson. His talent and annointed playing will never be frogotten and never duplicated he was truly one of a kind

  • Wish I could've heard him play live.

  • I wish you couldn've heard him too..... I was a child when I first heard him play. It was like Heaven on earth. He was sooooo smooth and the love he felt just oozed out of the guitar. He was one of a kind. I still miss him.

  • Thank you for your testimony concerning Henry Nelson. I wish someone had more of his music on tape.
