    I remember listening to him with my dad as I grew up. I’ve always loved his music. After my dad died I got in his truck and started playing a greatest hits tape of Don Williams. Lord I Hope This Day Is Good began playing.

    I have been a life long fan of Don Williams. His voice is very soothing.
    I remember him well in the seventies and attended one of his last concerts .
    May he RIP

    What was the "Tragic Ending of Don Williams"? The man lived a successful live, with his God given talent . We ALL die ! Of one thing or another. At what age of dying is accepetable?

    I can't stop listening to Don. I grew up listening to Don, Jim Reeves everyday in my Mum's car and the song I play daily now is "If I needed You" amongst many others. I ended up with a total collection of Don Williams hits.
    May His Soul keep Resting in Peace.

    My aunt and uncle named their youngest son, born on my birthday when I was 9, after Don Williams. I remember many a day sitting in their living room listening to his music with them. They even wrote to him and told him about naming their son after him and how much his music meant to them. The got a lovely letter back. It broke my aunt's heart when he died but she did get to see one of his last concerts.

    I grew up listening to Don Williams along with many other country music legend's but Don Williams was my favorite! What I really loved about him was he had his own way of singing and I loved it. I loved his music 🎶 so well that I recorded myself singing his songs. I was driving to town one day listening to the radio and the station I was listening to got interrupted by the news and they said that Don Williams just passed away and I couldn't do anything but cry 😢. I wanted to meet him so bad but never got to but I know someday we will All be "Gathering at the River" in the Sky Lord 🙏 in the SKY 🙏! The world 🌍 misses you Don Williams 💗

    I've loved Don since I first heard him in the late 70"s. His song that I liked the most was "I believe in You". I had tickets 2 years in a row the last years of his life but unfortunately due to his health both times they were cancelled, a big regret in my life that I never got to see him in person.

  • @nickmoen6051

    Most underrated country star of all time in my opinion. He wasn't really in the whole outlaw country scene so I think he gets overlooked because of that but a voice like butter and simple lyrics everyone can sing along to!

    Followed Don Williams for his entire career & saw him in person at Billy Bob’s in Ft. Worth in the late 90’s. Phenomenal voice, extremely friendly & the epitome of traditional country cool. God gave him that wonderful
    voice, Don shared it with us.

    Why are all of your click bait videos “sad” endings “. I’ve known this about your channel for a long time and the only reason I clicked this one is I’m such a fan of Don Williams. The only thing sad about performers like this is they have to get old and leave us like anyone else. You should be changing your titles as most of your content is pretty good and informative as well. You don’t have to be quite so histrionic in your titles to get views in my opinion just provide good content. My opinion. Take it as you will. But thanks for this one.

    I was in Kigali, Rwanda back in 2006 and was visiting a French couples house. We were listening to all sorts of French records when the lady told me that she was sorry that they had but only one record album in English. Low and behold she drags out a Don Williams "Volume Two" album. I told her that she couldn't have more of a perfect album for that moment. The first song on the album is "I wish I were in Nashville". Being that I was in the army at the time, from Nashville and on a mission far from home. It hit deep. Also, this was my father's music and now that he's gone it reminds me of him and when we would listen to Don Williams on the 8 track in his truck.

    How is this a "tragic ending?" Everyone dies. Clickbait. Don seemed to have had a normal ending. Died at the average age for men.
