This is a beautiful song. Nobody, nobody could do it better than Keith and Ralph. My little grandson that is 7 yrs old loves this song. I play it for him everytime he visits. I ask him why he likes this song. He said " I just like his voice." My grandson knows great music!
wow !!! this is such great music. I grew up on this stuff being from Pikeville , Ky. and all . But I hated it when I was a kid but now that I'm older WOW. Ther melodies, the living , the life experiencies in this music is like no other not even in the blues. This is the music of the Applachia. great music......... WHEN YOUR READY FOR IT...
I live in Pineville right out of Harlan and it was an almost every weekend night thing for the family to get together and play bluegrass records on Granny's front porch. Somebody would bring out the "Spring Water" and we'd dance and carry on into the morning.
Song written by a Magoffin County Kentucky native while serving time in Eddyville penitentiary , name is well known in my family but shall not be exposed here due to the passing of said song writer ,
Sent you another message. I'm 50 years old and I've heard it for years. Call the folks at Rebel Records and talk with them about it...Ask them and listen to their response...It's pretty interesting. Believe what you will. I was told this about 20 years ago.
I have an old tape and Carter announces Larry from being from Kentucky. The Stanley's played up around Kentucky and Ohio for years. Things just sometimes happen...LOL
@DeathbringerDrago Larry does it so well because it's IN HIM...He's Carter's Stanley's son...Everyone knows that in Bluegrass...Ever wonder why Ralph chose him to be his lead singer after Carter died...Gave him his guitar and his boots...
Larry Sparks is Carter's son. That's the word. Ask some of the old timers. Ever wonder why he took him out on the road to play guitar with The Stanley Brothers the last year they toured?
Chootem, I sent you a message off line about the details of Larry and Carter. Carter had two sons and a daughter by his wife. Larry was born when Carter was 22. I sent you a message off line.

Louvin Bros are close.. but id have to agree with you there

Keith could sing anything such a beautiful voice. Shame he left us so soon rip

So wonderful..fills me with JOY
This song gives me that lonesome feeling or a yearning for something or someone, I don't know exactly what but this song does it to me.
Every musician should be mentioned/credited for his performance.
So, so beautiful. Poor, poor Keith, may he rest in peace.
that is just the very best I have ever in my life heard!!
My father is Tim Austin. Blessed to have grown up in this life
Keith Whitley byl vynikající zpěvák, mám ráda jeho hlas, miluji jeho písně ❤️🎸❤️

Absolutely love this song. Saw Ralph Stanley in Chicago 10 years ago,,,fantastic performer still.
I'd never heard "O Beautiful Star of Bethlehem." A bluegrass Christmas Carol! I love it!

Blue Grass Harmony.I love it!!

We need another Ralph.
The kid playing in the Cody Norris band is real close..

I will say you are. Carter and Ralph was perfection and they were brothers
Ralphs best singer..........Keith Whitley
I'd have to say yes to that, Ralph had the haunting ominous tenor however. Remarkable putting all of them together like this.
Hey, Great song, Keep up the good work!

Alan Couick says wonderfiul, I love it.

@petranochka You need to hear Larry Sparks sing and play this song I just seen the rock of ages.

Curly Ray Cline on the patient fiddle...poor guy had to stand there and not play on the opening song and a few others.

I think Ralph was only 59 here in this video.

Sure wish Kieth could had been able to pitch the alcohol. Very sad story!
that flat-picking guitarist is just the best.
Simon and garfunfel is second
It was such a waste of a good life gone wrong
