I haven't heard this song since my dad last played it when he was alive. It immediately made me break out into tears. My dad loved Don Williams. Glad you enjoyed this!
I saw Don Williams when I was in college. Of course I bought an album and listened to it all the time. My 10 year old brother thought "Tulsa Time" said living on oats and pie. 🤣
This is one of the first song I remember hearing as a child. It's a song and story that has lingered with me my entire life and I still catch myself singing when I'm working. A classic that should be heard by all.
She Never Knew Me, Say It Again, Amanda, Till The Rivers All Run Dry, Tulsa Time, Love Me Tonight, You're My Best Friend, Rake and Ramblin' Man are great. He also does a duet with EmmyLou Harris called If I Needed You, which is completely fantastic!!!❤❤❤
I love this song. I loved country from the mid 80s to the mid to late 90s. I can't get back into it now. For about 10 years or a little more I was deeply in love with country.
Don Williams is from Portland Texas which is my home town. He graduated from Gregory-Portland High School in 1958 and I graduated from the same high school in 1972. He was in a folk trio called The Pozo Seco Singers and played all over Texas including Portland. My parents were friends with his parents but I didn't know of him until High School. I'm glad he made it. He deserved it.
@dennisblair3186 I graduated from G-P in 1983. I got asked all the time if he was my uncle since I have the same name as his nephew. I didn't know Don but seen him many times. I do know his nephew Mark. His parents lived across the street from my friend when I was in high school.
I'm so glad y'all did this, been asking & believing you'd do it sooner or later. LOL Amber, I love watching you appreciate a song like this! Thank you guys! Been with you almost 3 yrs!!! Keep doing just like y'all are doing! We need 'good' people & making somebody smile. Show kindness & respect & our world would be so much better!!!
I'm not much of a country music fan, but my wife & I loved Don Williams' voice. Saw him a couple of times in small venues. Check out his duet with Emmylou Harris on Townes Van Zandt's "If I Needed You"!
This is the sound of my youth. There was always Don Williams, Charlie Rich, Merl Haggard, Johnny Cash and many more playing in our house. Proper Country Music.
Don didn’t rush much that is for sure. Having seen him perform live many many times it was a treat every time. He was a gentle giant of a man and was completely no frills. It’s really cool to see an entire audience captivated by 1 man sitting on a stool playing a guitar and singing. No flash no pyrotechnics no extras, just plain and simple good music.
Love this song... one of my all time favorites. Still remember the first time I heard it as a kid. Def family friendly music🙂 So glad y'all got to this one💝
"You're My Best Friend" by Don Williams is the most beautiful song of his. He would always sing it for his wife and it's a perfect song for married couples, so Jay and Amber you MUST check that one out!!!
Don Williams and Emmylou Harris were basically the singers that first turned me onto country music. This is such a great song. I especially love "If Hollywood Don't Need You".
And “If I Needed You” Don and Emmylou duet! Perfection!

Don Williams say's "If you see Burt Reynolds, tell 'ol Burt I said hi". Don Williams was in a movie with Burt. WW and the Dixie Dance King's and of course it had a car, a rocket 88 olds.
What he actually sings is, "So if you see Burt Reynolds would you shake his hand for me? And tell old Burt, I've seen all his movies." Don was also in Smokey and the Bandit II.
My mom past away from cancer in Oct 23. My dad passed away in 89. Growing up they had an eight track tape of Don williams and this was one of my favorite songs. tape
Got to know him well as a young man, my mother was friends with Don. He was EXACTLY the person he sounds to be! A true gentle giant of a man, I miss him immensely and I'm more than grateful to have known him.
He also has a song called We're All The Way, which he wrote, but I first heard Eric Clapton sing it on one of his 70s albums. Don wrote it, Eric recorded it, then Don recorded his own version of it and it's a great song.
I have another singer going down the same road that I know you will love... Tom T Hall singing Old Dogs and Children and Watermelon Wine. If this don`t hit the brakes on whatever you`re doing, I don`t know what will. Loved your reaction, Peace and brother love to you and all.
This was a top 20 pop hit, top 10 A/C hit and a hit in many other countries as were many of his songs. He was so popular around the world. Be sure to react to “You’re My Best Friend”!
Hey Guys, another wonderful choice of song. When watching your reactions to a song that I know, you have an ability to make me see another perspective to the lyrics, and this one is no different. If you're going further down His rabbit hole, you need to react to 'I am just a country boy', and I just cannot wait to see what you make of that one. Keep up the great work, and have a safe day.
Gentle is such a great description of the man. Back in the day, all country greats had "Nick names". They don't do that no more and for good reasons ... Don was, and forever will be ... "The Gentle Giant".
Guess I'm dating myself here, but I was in high school when this was a hit. I remember hearing it play over the speakers at a restaurant job as I mopped the floors after closing time I always liked the traditional, value-oriented lyrics. Another great song with similar traditional themes is "Are The Good Time Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver)" by Merle Haggard.
I haven't heard this song since my dad last played it when he was alive. It immediately made me break out into tears. My dad loved Don Williams. Glad you enjoyed this!
Some Broken Hearts Never Mend is a great Don Williams song
What a lovely smooth easy listening voice 😊❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I guess Don Williams "Tulsa Time" is a natural for this channel. "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend" is a favorite.
I saw Don Williams when I was in college. Of course I bought an album and listened to it all the time. My 10 year old brother thought "Tulsa Time" said living on oats and pie. 🤣
Yeah, would love to see them do "Tulsa Time".... or Merle Haggard doing "Okie from Muskogee"
Don Williams is one of a handful of country artists that I have listened to and enjoyed.
I love i believe in you, very sweet song love that song by Don Williams
This is one of the first song I remember hearing as a child. It's a song and story that has lingered with me my entire life and I still catch myself singing when I'm working. A classic that should be heard by all.
I haven't heard this song in its entirety in forever...but it pops into my mind all the time...❤
She Never Knew Me, Say It Again, Amanda, Till The Rivers All Run Dry, Tulsa Time, Love Me Tonight, You're My Best Friend, Rake and Ramblin' Man are great. He also does a duet with EmmyLou Harris called If I Needed You, which is completely fantastic!!!❤❤❤
A great country crooner!!! Probably the best!!! He doesn't do a bad song!!! His "Tulsa Time" still gets cover & played in dance halls!!!!!
LOVE this song!!!!! Now u gotta react to “Tulsa Time” 🤘🏽❤️🤘🏽❤️
Absolutely, they have to do it.
@@jasontaylor6005 such a groovy song 🤘🏽
Before it starts….you’re gonna love this period

''You're My Best Friend'' is a must for Amber, Jay! Great reaction y'all!
My wife and I saw him in concert for his 2016 retirement tour. He surely earned his nickname of the Gentle Giant. His voice is SO smooth and soothing.
I'm so glad y'all did this, been asking & believing you'd do it sooner or later. LOL Amber, I love watching you appreciate a song like this! Thank you guys! Been with you almost 3 yrs!!!

You can tell a person's heart by the songs they positively react to and Amber my dear you have a good heart.
A smooth, velvety voice..With a bit of deep southern drawl.. RIP Don Williams❤😇
The Gentle Giant.....one of the all time greats. Thanks for the reaction
Yes! Couldn't agree more!
Such a warm, mellow voice. I love him and his music! ❤
My favorite of his 👍🏼 Loved dancing to this beautiful song.
'I recalla gypsy woman' - such a beautiful rich voice, one of my favourite country artists! :)
Another excellent one by him is "Good Ole Boys Like Me." Love that one!
Another Don Williams song you would like is "Good Ole Boys Like Me". Beautiful!
One of my favorite voices of all time. Try his songs *You're My Best Friend or Tulsa Time*
👋👋💗🍻 Tulsa Time is a state of mind 😉👍
Take Care and Stay Safe and Enjoy your day 🥰✌️🙏❤️
@@johnboydTx 💜🍻 Cheers... miss ya
Voice like melted butter! Easy listening at its best!! More Country music please!
This is the sound of my youth. There was always Don Williams, Charlie Rich, Merl Haggard, Johnny Cash and many more playing in our house. Proper Country Music.
This one always brings tears to my eyes. My late wife sang this to the kids when they were babies. She was a huge Don Williams fan.
Such a smooth, mellow voice!
So cool you covered this.
His voice is like a big warm hug. Love him so much! You’re My Best Friend is another good one. 🥰
Don didn’t rush much that is for sure. Having seen him perform live many many times it was a treat every time. He was a gentle giant of a man and was completely no frills.

"Then it's love" is my favorite don Williams. It's got a jazzy swing feel to it.
Don Williams, definitely a great balladeer ."Lay Down Beside Me" is one of my favorites. Such a kind soul.
I love this song! One of my all-time country favorites! 👍
Tulsa time is a great song too
He was, and is, the gentle giant. God bless Don Williams.
Love this song... one of my all time favorites. Still remember the first time I heard it as a kid. Def family friendly music🙂 So glad y'all got to this one💝

Awesome!!
Great song. Great artist.
Good for y'all.
God Bless y'all.
I remember this sweet song from way back when- I haven’t heard it in years!
Amanda by Don Williams is another banger!
Absolutely fabulous song.
Got to see him back live back in the 80's and it was a great, intimate setting. Wonderful!
Such a great song!
Awesome voice, great song list. Ironically enough, shortly after this song came out, Hollywood did make movies about Superman and Robin Hood.
One of my favorite singers of any genre. Listen to Heartbeat in the Darkness next another great love song.
One of my FAVOURITE songs. I still "try" singing it at karaoke
OH Jeeze! Classic! Haven't heard this one in a VERY long time.
I love his voice love this song.
"The Gentle Giant"! I love his music
I haven't heard this in ages. Thanks. 😊

Good ol’ boys like me is one great song, after that about 50 more, not many wrong choices with this gentle giant…
I grew up on Don Williams and other artists in that time and all his songs are great still listening to him❤
Love this song. Thank you
I love this song so much. 💜💜💜
I can't imagine someone not liking him. Such a wonderful soul
I saw him in concert at Northeastern State in Tahlequah, years ago.
I completely forgot about this song. Thanks for reviewing it.
The Gentle Giant. You can't go wrong with Don Williams.
My mom loves this song. I love you, mom.RIP!😘
Even when I was a young adult and a complete metalhead, I loved this song!
Sometimes you hear a song that moves your soul.
Peace, Love!! RIP Don!
This crossed over pretty well, showing up on the top-40 radio pop stations for a while.
I loved Don🙏💔
Gypsy woman, Amanda, Some Broken Hearts and We belong together are some of my favorite songs by Don Williams.
I love Don Williams
What a great 👍 and Beautiful song 😊.
I've always felt he is singing to his child as they are getting read to launch.
Man, that's a world i would love to live in!!
He also has a song called We're All The Way, which he wrote, but I first heard Eric Clapton sing it on one of his 70s albums. Don wrote it, Eric recorded it, then Don recorded his own version of it and it's a great song.

Yes. It was our wedding song. 1990...
don williams your best my best friend is another good song
We played this at our wedding 42 years ago😊❤❤❤❤ great song
This was a top 20 pop hit, top 10 A/C hit and a hit in many other countries as were many of his songs. He was so popular around the world. Be sure to react to “You’re My Best Friend”!
By Queen 1978 ?

I love this song!!! This was my Mom's favorite song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some of faves of his are:
Lay Down Beside Me
I’m Just A County Boy
This always makes me so very happy!! ❤
Gentle is such a great description of the man. Back in the day, all country greats had "Nick names". They don't do that no more and for good reasons ... Don was, and forever will be ... "The Gentle Giant".
Try. Tulsa time by Don Williams and. Remember when by Allen Jackson
What a song!!!
Guess I'm dating myself here, but I was in high school when this was a hit. I remember hearing it play over the speakers at a restaurant job as I mopped the floors after closing time I always liked the traditional, value-oriented lyrics. Another great song with similar traditional themes is "Are The Good Time Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver)" by Merle Haggard.
YES!!!
Very large catalog of great songs! One of his latter ones that’s very seldom mentioned is MAGGIES DREAM. There just something about it
In the 1960s Don Williams led a trio from Texas called The Pozo-Seco Singers. Check out "I Can Make It With You" from 1966.
Can't believe you living in Oklahoma you've never heard his song " Living On Tulsa Time ".
Good song good reaction
"You're my best friend "
Good Old Boys Like Me is a great Don Williams song! Give it a listen.
Finally! I generally dislike 97% of country music but I love this man! I’ve seen him twice in concert. He has so many great songs. Need to do more. ❤
We all had this 8-track in our trucks sitting in the woods with a bonfire and some beer.
A good follow up to this is his song Infinity. It was on his next to last album and is in my opinion one of if not his best song.
