Life is funny sometimes. I heard this song when I was a teenager. I wasn’t a big fan of country music but I always remember this one always. I’m 67 now the other day out of nowhere I had to here this song. Just out of the blue. Can’t stop playing this. Thank to all of our great country singers. May all rest in Peace. You’ll not ever be forgotten.🇺🇸
I remember my husband always listening to country music while he worked ; this song reminds me of one of those times I worked with him .I miss all the real country music singers from back then . rip jpw I miss you 1952- 2002
@@gbh5912 First off you have no clue how this works, nobody stole nothing, this was a big hit and Danny Okeefe was probably happy to make some money of this. Ever heard of ASCAP that protects the song rights. Inform yourself first before you throw around false accusation. Cheap??? Man you ain't the brightest.
Charlie Rich was a true one of a kind, he could do it all. He could play country, blues, pop, rock and roll, jazz... whatever, and he did them all equally well.
The pictures accompanying this video are great. What a handsome man! They remind us of why he was called the Silver Fox! His voice is so smooth and soulful . Still missing him. RIP Mr. Rich . Thanks for some great memories and even greater music.
One constant reminder of long held admiration for the two Charlies, Rich and Pride. Their serenades were sweet and soulful never hurried nor extended beyond their natural vocal range. Easy-breezy, like a cool, clear summer morning drive slowly meandering through winding Appalachian roads in a '60s triple-white droptop Caddy Eldo. The wind curling my remaining hair (now, mostly scalp) and their tunes gently caressing my ears. RIP, CR and may more fruitful innings await you CP. THANK YOU and Godspeed to you both.
Some of my all time best memories of my pops involve 🐎 tracks, french fries, fried chicken and Charlie Rich playing in the background. I miss him and this music helps alot.
Dude... reminds me of being a kid. I was working on my bro's truck today he had Tom Sawyer blaring when I turned his truck on. This was the song after it.... only person person I know who would have Charlie Rich on his playlist. A classic man.
The Silver Fox💞🌹 He was such a beautiful man. And his voice was, well this is probably the second country song I’d ever heard (Waylon was first). I still have his cassettes!
Sad that some people only remember him by the John Denver incident where he burned the award card when announcing Denver won the CMA. I thought that was pretty outlaw myself.
I agree with all those who comment on how smooth and soulful his singing was. He could also play him some fine piano!! (I’ve heard both songs a thousand times, but this is the first time I’ve wondered if “Luckenbach Texas” was inspired by this sound!?)
kelly st. clair So very right Miss Kelly... I'd wager that you are a wonderful Lady if you like this song! I hope whoever has been blessed with your attention realizes just how lucky he is! God bless, Miss Kelly 😇 Sincerely, GK 😎
Little success?! He was one of the biggest country music stars in the 70's. One of the best selling artists with several gold/platinum albums. 8 number one singles etc. etc.
He was Successful with his songs. But when Charlie pride come out the Industry turned towards him for some un-known reason which i never cared for. The Radio stations stop playing Charlie Rich and started playing Charlie Pride. I cried all the time when they did not play Charlie Rich when i was in my Parents car going somewhere when they played Charlie Pride, Cause i said it should be Charlie Rich. I then started singing The song i remember so well. My Favorite. th-cam.com/video/ZCHkeNqbBv8/w-d-xo.html
You are absolutely right. First, listening to this song just brings the tears when Charlie sings it. He was an amazingly talented rock-a-billy piano=playing singers who rivaled Jerry Lee Lewis. He killed it when it came to country and he was a pro at blues and jazz. A Monstrous talent Charlie just didn't seem to fit in anywhere until Billy Sherill got a hold of him and invented the "Countrypolitan" sound. By then he was in his 40's and didn't want to be pigeon=holed into one class of music. He could do it all and no one beside the great Ray Charles could touch him. Listen to his last album "Pictures and Paintings" and check out his penchant for jazz. Charlie Rich is the real deal.
@@waynekennedy2096 ......Charley Pride and Charlie Rich are like comparing apples and oranges..... Pride gained popularity in 1966 with "the Snakes Crawl At Night" which was 100% pure Country, with some awesome steel guitar work by Lloyd Green. Pride's fame just went thru the roof for about 12-15 solid years..... Charlie Rich dabbled in jazz and blues and a bit of R & B going back to the early sixties, but never ever a Country presence til Sherrill threw Behind Closed Doors and Beautiful Girl at him and offered him a contract. Rich made no bones about his dislike for twangy trad Country.... He was truly at home in a much more bluesy Memphis atmosphere than the GOO in Music City. Plus remember his antics at the CMA Awards show in 75-76 when he set fire to the ballot when John Denver was named Entertainer of the Year??? many folks became very disheartened with Rich after that. Dont get me wrong here, I loved Charlie Rich..... I think he pulled off the Country thing quite well in spite of the fact he never really liked it, but he and Charley Pride are just like night and day in my book..... Pride is still kickin too, at well over 80 yrs old.
Kenny Dobbins Johnny Cash couldn't sing his way out of a paper bag in my opinion! Which all is intitled to their own opinion,even if it stinks!! LOL Just kidding! Jerry Lee Lewis,Mickey Gilley,Charlie Rich! From The fifties,to the nineties is when the best music was made,and will never be topped! They'res still some that has it,but you gotta look hard! When you do hear one,it's much easier to appreciate! I'm so glad I grew up listening to the best music! From Hank Sr,to Hank Jr,and all the inbetweeners!!! I can't get enough,it takes me back to a much simpler time,and the memories made in those times and moments! Thank to all those greats for sharing their music,and lives to let us all have that music we all so much adore!!
There are still a few traditional style artists like Alan Jackson, George Strait, Randy Travis, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Rodney Crowell, Clint Black and Dwight Yoakam.
Kenny Dobbins FOR ME IT'S JERRY LEE, CHARLIE RICH, AND FARON YOUNG, ANOTHER LOUISIANA BOY. I LIKE JOHNNY HORTON BETTER THAN CASH. OF RECENT YEARS, AND SAMMY KERSHAW AND DWIGHT YOAKAM.
Charlie Rich was as real as one could b, and is still a true legend in the hearts of us all (No other singer/ song writer could even come close to being #1such as Charlie!!
Pretty sure Danny O’Keefe wrote this song. Check it out I’m sure you can find it on TH-cam. Tragic life but amazing player. Both great players. I love Charlie rich too.

Why this man isn't in the Country Music Hall of Fame yet is a shame.
Same for Gene Watson
Hi pissed off too many people. I mean he was right, he just couldn’t play the politics
It means he had a very good soul & wouldn't play with the Devil.
For what he did at the CMA Awards, he said John Denver wasn't county and tore his vote up when he had to say he won
It's kind of like being in the Minor League HOF.

Me too
Hells yes good ma'am!
About me when i hitched a ride i was free

Love this song since I was a young child ,still do at 59 yrs

I was 9.

I went to a bar tonight in Royal Oak Michigan called PRONTOS.. I sung this song tonight dedicated it to my uncle..He loved this song..
Linda Thompson said Elvis would listen to Charlie Rich in his later life and Charlie was a regular visitor to Graceland too visit Elvis
Somehow that just seems so right.
Elvis also recorded this very song! Check it out, sometime. Elvis did a great job with it. 😉👍
@@davidcook5705 I know it well...and I love it!
Elvis died with a 19lb turd.
Yes.Charlie lived in Cordova
Too soulful to be country. To country to sing soul. He was one of kind.
Charlie was a great man of God bless in heaven today 😊

Great song.......just look at how many folks covered it, that says it all. Charlie's version likely my favorite
The Silver Fox💞🌹 He was such a beautiful man. And his voice was, well this is probably the second country song I’d ever heard (Waylon was first). I still have his cassettes!
This was my song when I went through my divorce. Somehow it helped me. Thanks
Nice to hear the song as It was recorded ❤
I saw Charlie at Disney in 1973 when it first opened. What a beautiful soul he was. He inspired my playing along with Elton John and Leon Russell.
The silver fox..still love this old song !
IAm still
Rollin with flow
And heres to you

Yup still rollin' with the flow.....
Bad ass song don't care what anyone thinks

Wow...what a flashback...thanks! Early 70's...I was just a kid...lived in Oregon...little town called Lowell. :)
Been through Lowell. I was a kid too. Still in Oregon ;-)
The legendary charlie rich
What a great singer always like his singing, brings back lots of memories thank (Thanks Charlie )
AWESOME PHRASING AND TONE.
Charlie Rich would have been 48 in 1980 and so I guess he was happier to sing the song as "You're not a kid at 43."
One of Dad's favorites, mis him.
beautiful song!
True man and true words
I originally heard Waylon Jennings version first, but this one touches the heart strings a bit more.
Check out the Willie version.
Leon Russell did it best. Hard to find
see the Elvis version, one of the best for me
This was one of my dad's favorite songs.
Wonderful thank you!
will always love you, Charlie
me too

This, and "The Road" (most notably covered by Jackson Browne) are two of my favorite Danny O'Keefe tunes.
