It's a crying shame that country radio has forgotten what genuine country music ought to sound like. These were the days when you were able to distinguish who was singing on radio. Thanks for sharing!!
Buddy Emmons was playing stuff back then that steel players aren't even playing now. The best pedal steel guitarist there will ever be, and a sound to die for.
I love this guy,the frist song l ever heard was For the Goodtimes♥️l was maybe12,my mom was listening to this song and crying,her and my dad were having trouble.l loved the song and still listen to him today,old country,the Best...
Ray has and always will be the master of the understated country soulful sound. Younger folks would do well to closely listen to his delivery of songs just like this gem. He lightly caresses the lyrics and always respects the writer's intent. A class act all the way. It's his sound we heard as when younger we contemplated the lonely half-full glass and when older reflected back to instant-recall memories. May God Bless the old Cherokee Cowboy and ride with him down the last trail home.
Voices like Ray's and other pure country talents like Gene Watson, Merle and George are what sold records for many years. They didn't need the high tech glitzy videos that seem to push many of today's singers into the limelight. If I had a choice of listening to Ray's still terrific voice on a record, at age 85, or that of one of today's new finds I think Ray's would win hands down. Thanks again for posting this treasure. - Paula
Ray Price had the best voice in all genres of music. He will live on forever through his music. I miss him every day and will always love him. RIP Ray !
ONE OF THE VERY BEST SINGERS, ENTERTAINERS & A GENTLEMAN. HIS LAST ALBUM WAS FANTASTIC...CALLED ...BELIEVE. HE WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE FINISHED PRODUCT & FELT IT WAS HIS BEST EVER. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SO SICK...HE SOUNDED SO GOOD & I LISTEN TO IT OFTEN. LOVED RAY.
What great music, great COUNTRY MUSIC! It's not this stuff they call country today. I don't even listen to it. I used to live in Texas and wish I had a dollar for every step I've two-stepped around those good country dance halls years ago. I have memories that will last me for the rest of my life. Music like this stirs memories, warms the heart and I can't hlep but get a little smile on my face and if anyone could see, they would probably see a little twinkle in my eye!!!!
Thank God for the Oldie Posties. And whomever posted them. Wish some of the kids today would cover these classics & put them back on the charts again. As long as they treat 'em with respect they're due. Just like Alan Jackson did Pop a Top. I think it would have made Faron Young proud. Anyway, thanks for posting this.
I met him a long time ago, I was the deck hand on the Marlyn M. fishing boat out of Freeport Texas and he was on the boat that day. Interesting fellow as well as my favorite CW singer.
This song and "Unloved,Unwanted " were the first songs I learned to play guitar with in 1969. Classics and great talent with Ray a legend. Thanks for posting
'Today's "country music" will quickly become tomorrow's history...we old 'boomers just don't buy any music from these artificial Nashville screamers.... they have not lived long enough to sing any of Ray's songs with passion or emotion... from a 66 year old central Texas fan who has danced to Ray's music since junior high school
Hey dodiho65, I think the same thing, then every once in awhile someone like Mo Pitney renews my faith. Take a listen to Mo's cover of 'Don't You Ever Get Tired of Hurting Me' th-cam.com/video/R82jLVBy5IY/w-d-xo.html
Country Music is alive and well, but it's hiding some place so look behind those trees or under that rock it will come back someday and be as poplar as ever, I hope so anyway. I'm almost 82 and really haven't heard a down to earth song in many many years. keep the faith
So many of the great country singers are gone. Very few of today's country singers will be remembered like the old timers are remembered. My old band still plays lots of Ray's music.
My favorite of all times....I do his material in some of the bands I sing in...I can feel a Texas Spring and a Texas Autumn in almost everything he sings along with Bob Wills and Hank Williams.....I love ya Ray
+Mary Winkle Never did make another like Ray,he was the best,More tried sounding like Ray than any other artist, some came close none ever quite got his sound exact
IM GOING TO TALK ABOUT TIMI YUDO, ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER. FIRST TIME I HEARD HER WAS EARLY SIXTIES, AND I WAS DELIGHTED WITH HER VOICE, THE WAY SHE USES IT, CLEAR, FRESH BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU Yudi!!!!!!
This is from a 1981 POP Goes The Country show and Ray told Tom T. Hall he was hoarse that day. That's why Ray is grinning after he goes for the high note at 1:16 and 2:55. He was hoarse and still sounded awesome.
2packs4sure i saw him a few months before he died. He sat down most of the show but he was killing it and he lost his voice pretty early on. He apologized and said he was going to try real hard to finish the rest of the show and he absolutely killed it. He was as good as they get. I was lucky enough to see him twice
Had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Price mid 60s Knoxville TN. one of the best live performers ever, sounds as good as on record.The master mr. Noble Ray Price
I just wanted to say that this was the favorite song of University of Texas Coach Darrell Royal.. he loved this song...thought maybe the UT folks would like to know..
It's a crying shame that country radio has forgotten what genuine country music ought to sound like. These were the days when you were able to distinguish who was singing on radio. Thanks for sharing!!
Oh dear! Mr Ray Price had some really beautiful songs, now they r old but sure sounds great. Just love the oldies.
Ray Price's voice is so soulful in a country kinda way. It's unique.
There will never be another like this great singer. What a stylist
The incomparable Ray Price!! Classic
Mo Pitney a young country singer really does justice to this great old song. Ray had such a smooth cultured voice!
My favorite singer since 1970!! I’m 78 now, he still is!!! He knows how to pick the right songs‼️
Buddy Emmons was playing stuff back then that steel players aren't even playing now. The best pedal steel guitarist there will ever be, and a sound to die for.
100%!
Style never goes out of fashion. If you're a young entertainer, watch how effortless Ray makes it look. RIP one of the greats.
Absolute class and most beautiful voice. My very favorite country singer. Really miss him.
Never ❤

Listen to him from my Dad's collection . A true pioneer in country music

I've been a Ray Price fan for over 60 years. He is one of the best singers of all time.
EMMMM, WOWWW, SO AWESOME, IT TEARS MY HEART UP.I I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG AND WORDS. HUMMMM, YESSSS...
Today's country music is not country music. You cannot replace these great artists. The passion in the songs are what make the singer live on forever.
Amen
I was born in England and grew up listening to artists like this. Family parties were full of Country songs....im 51yo now, still listening❤
Yes, it does still listening in 2024. This is my joy. .❤😊
there will never be another ray price
Ray is my all time favorite singer. Country music needs more singers like him, true country.
Ray Price kept country music alive in the 70's and I have loved his music forever.
I never get tired of listening to one of the top 3 c/w singers of all time, Mr. Noble Ray Price.
Classic!
This is Country Music at it's BEST!
Not this pop-garbage of today!
The king of the four four shuffle,and you can't find a better voice.RIP Ray.
such a SOULFUL SMOOTHE RICH VOICE no doubt about it the ALLTIME GREATEST MALE COUNTRY SINGER EVER. I call him MR. SMOOTHE. Wayne Gross. cedar lake,al
One of the all time greats. Smooth as silk.
Saw him yesterday! He's fantastic!! 85 & his voice is still beautiful!!
the world will miss this great singer, what a beautiful voice.
For me Ray Price has no equal.
Awesome singer ❤️Ray Price, listening in 2021 from NZ ❤️
Probably the best opening line ever written for a song. Thank you Willie.
Too bad Willie is a demoncrat. Who knew a pop head would be a lefty.
Hank Cochran Pinned this one , not Willie.
Classic country,by a classy gentleman with one of the best voice to ever sing a country song
Ray Price had the best voice in all genres of music. He will live on forever through his music. I miss him every day and will always love him. RIP Ray !
Look how respectable he looks,,and he still can sing really good....I love Ray Price!
ONE OF THE VERY BEST SINGERS, ENTERTAINERS & A GENTLEMAN. HIS LAST ALBUM WAS FANTASTIC...CALLED ...BELIEVE. HE WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE FINISHED PRODUCT & FELT IT WAS HIS BEST EVER. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SO SICK...HE SOUNDED SO GOOD & I LISTEN TO IT OFTEN. LOVED RAY.

A brilliant old country song, one of Rays best. However, I love Mo Pitney's rendition of this song too !... Thanks for posting..
Absolutely, Mo Pitney's version is awesome. Only song he sings that I like.......
Mo needs to pick up the pace.
We lost another legend in country music. What a voice and a great entertainer. He will never be replaced. RIP Ray you'll be missed.
Whenever I come across a good country music song, I always find that Ray made it a hit.
My goodness - what a BEAUTIFUL voice. One of the all time greats that have ever or will ever, be heard. Thank you for posting!!!

One of a kind! Great performer!
RIP Cowboy, listened always growing up and till this day still do never can go wrong . the best in smooth country music.

I'm 85 now and still waiting for real country music. Please don't take to long a man can't live forever.
So many of the great country singers are gone. Very few of today's country singers will be remembered like the old timers are remembered.
My old band still plays lots of Ray's music.
I saw Ray in concert when he was 90 years old, his voice was as clean and crisp as ever. What a beautiful voice.
He died at 87 duh!
wow. the best song ever and he performs it better than anyone. Written by the great Hank Cochran. RIP Hank and Ray
Pure Gold, they just don't come any better than this..
Mmmm OH so sweet. Love Ray Price A Voice Like this does not come around to often
I first heard him in Vietnam in 1966 and i haven't stopped listening since. R.I.P.

What A Beautiful Song And Great Voice This Is Country Music Rip
No one can beat Buddy Emmons...I can't believe this vibrato and the long sensual near erotic phrasing on steel guitar...my God !!!
Oh man. He's got that "falling down in slow motion" sound, I love Buddy.
One of my all time favorite singers
This video shows me how much I want my life to go home
Another great song by a great singer. Thanks for sharing.
Ray Price is by far the best singer.
What Way Do you Mean That.??
ditto, will miss this man,and his perfect timing.
Beautiful version of a truly classic country song, by one of the masters.
Truebeliever43

Love this song and singer. Thanks for sharing.
Ginnie
A lot of us can relate to this song in one way or another. Ray was born on this day in 1926. 🎂
Great Music! ;)
It's a long time since I heard him sing for the first time, since then I became his number one fan in Brazil.
+Antonio Fernandes de Queiroga Welcome to our country music.
I notice that kboing.com has very little country music.
I am sure Brazilians would love it.
From a time when you knew who was singing with the first note and you could understand every word he sang
Never be another: Ray Price
Seen his shows many times at Turtle Lake casino in Wisconsin
Love that violin music, just fits Ray Price!
Great singer to me he's the Dean Martin of Country Music
This is from a 1981 POP Goes The Country show and Ray told Tom T. Hall he was hoarse that day.
That's why Ray is grinning after he goes for the high note at 1:16 and 2:55.
He was hoarse and still sounded awesome.
I hear ya brother
2packs4sure i saw him a few months before he died. He sat down most of the show but he was killing it and he lost his voice pretty early on. He apologized and said he was going to try real hard to finish the rest of the show and he absolutely killed it. He was as good as they get. I was lucky enough to see him twice
Had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Price mid 60s Knoxville TN. one of the best live performers ever, sounds as good as on record.The master mr. Noble Ray Price
the old songs are the greatest. I'm glad i grew up in that era. the music today is trash (if you call it music)
Love the old country listen to it all the time the beast are gone but not forgot
I just wanted to say that this was the favorite song of University of Texas Coach
Darrell Royal.. he loved this song...thought maybe the UT folks would like to know..
What a great song! And Ray is one of the best!!
Danced to this song a thousand times for sure! Love that voice!
THIS SONG BY RAY IS JUST AWESOME !! I COULD LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY LONG
