I have only been to 4 concerts and a couple of shows in Branson but you better believe one of them was John Anderson and me and my wife was just a swingin
My dad told me to listen to this song and we both loved it and laughed!!! He died from a car crash months later and now it’s even better now ❤ Thank you!
@@ronhelmick6835 ahhh, the booming metropolis. I used to hang out with Randy Hall from Lockhart. Lived right behind the Big Red Barn before it burned down. Small world.
My dad used to talk about him and got to go back stage and hang out after the concert John remembered him even though it had been 20 to 30 years when they knew eachother in high school
John is my homeboy,so.fla.And there aint no better singer songwriter than he. I was a truck driver for 40 years.I have worn out his tapes and cd's all across this country.Thank you John.
John, same here... Been accross our nation many a time and John Anderson was keeping rhythm with me as I was counting them white lines, remember that. ? Now I am grazing not driving. 🌴
Yes you are so right on that, in my opinion country music went in the shutter in 1981, there's just a few exceptions, like,Dwight, Sawyer brown , maybe a couple others, today's country has no creativity of any kind, lyrically, vocally and musically
@@jmit3491 What if your Basement Toilet Radio only picks up one Country Station? Sounds like a good time to bring a "Barbie Beach Patrol" Basement Adventures Playset, into the mix, for to have her try to resuscitate some Beached Brown Whales. Oh, look. Barbie got some Chocolate Pie, on her face.
That’s one of those songs that you just love the first time you hear it, and let’s face it, John has the perfect voice to pull it off and make it a classic because nobody sounds like this guy. You may not know the song but you damn sure know who’s singing it. I love to listen to this guy and own lots of his music including his last album released which is very good!
He actually help build the newer grand ole Oprery in Nashville now he had probably had did already have songs written and did some recording what about all the let's say average really good songs he recorded like chicken truck and um 1959 get somebody else to drive u could on and on
Definitely a lifetime achievement!!! We rolled all the Dirtroads in the Greatest 10 years that ever was for music The 80s was and still is a unbelievable decade for so many people including me😊
I am a Puerto Rican and a Salsa Musician a percussionist but John Anderson is one my best Country Singer and out of my 50 Musicians and singers he is my top 5
I totally agree and I say this; thank you John Anderson,for giving up your day job all them years ago,and sharing your enormous talent all across the world,and bringing joy and amazing toe-tappin foot stomping pleasure and memories that will live with us forever!!! Thank you so very much John!!! Much love and keep on Swangin!!
"Swinging" Life is but a Pendulum hold that thought We take the good with bad and do it a lot A Positive view of life should be taught A Negative view of life brings distraught
I saw him at the clay co. fair, sittin on the front row, he is a wonderful singer...and a nice man...I was running late, and walking in it felt like everybody was watching me ..he noticed that and looked down at me and smiled and said 'Well we can get started now, everybody here". He turn an embarrassing moment into a great memory. Thank you.
I remember this song playing constantly in a bar, behind the Daisy Hotel.... in Vegas in the late 80s. Totally brings back memories of my old drunk days. Jesus has since been cleaning me up. 12 years sober.
Keep your chin up bro! God ain't done with you and there's people out here lookin' everywhere for answers in this world.... tell em' how Jesus loves and where he brought you from. Much love my man & PEACE from NC
@@grantlandking4361 Thanks for the encouragement . I do literature evangelism. I been spreading truth God has revealed to me in His Word .... so many are in darkness . Just like I was. God bless you brother . Keep strengthening the brethren
One of my favorite performers,he’s got so many great songs it’s incredible . I’ve seen John play live in the 80’s the 90’s and the 2000’s and he’s just as good now as he was then…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You could hate country music but still get hooked on this song. His vocals can't be matched and him talking to the host shows he plays for the passion of making music and not just for the fame
John you and me both need to lay off the biscuits lol... But florida has been blessed to have this man.. Stay healthy john we want you around another 50 years your a true legend.
Clearwater Florida, 1983, working at the “1890’s Bank restaurant warshing dishes for minimum wage. $3.35 an hour, listening to this song. Then hanging out with my pals, picking up Chicks at one of the 3 big Hotel beaches. Brings back fond memories.
I went to see John Anderson last year at Point Pleasant West Virginia's County Fair and he is awesome I play his songs all the time we recorded his concert I watch it all the time and I want to shout out to a happy belated birthday to you John we love you take care and hope to see you again soon
So happy that my wife and I got to see John live in an intimate Portland club setting. One of the most distinctive voices in all of country music. I'd love to hear that voice narrating audio books as well.
Ole florida country boy is the truth. I'm so proud of my heritage as a north florida southern man. My roots is a couple hundred years old in fl and it kills me to see all the folks moving on on fl and on old country music.
My favorite John Anderson tune! I saw him perform twice. The second time, about 26 years ago, I was able to meet John & speak to him! He was very nice & easy to talk to! Just a regular guy! Miranda James opened for him. She was a sweetheart, & was nice enough to pose with my cousin for a photo! If I recall, I think she gave him a kiss on the cheek! I had a great time that night! I love the music! Today's stuff is a lot of junk! Bring on country from the 80s, & beyond!
John Anderson=Musical GENUIS-!!! LOVE THAT DOOD-!!!!!! Saw him in person (one time) at 'The LongBranch' in Raleigh, NC singing 'Chicken-Truck'-!!!!!!! WE HAD A BLAST-!!! 😂👍✌️
Wow, What an awesome amazing singer. I would love to see John Anderson make a comeback with a number one CD of all time. He deserves it more then anyone I know. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform before he hit the charts, At a nightclub in Florida. I knew he would someday make it. A few months later I walking though a Sears store in Volusia county Florida. There was wall full of Tv's playing..John Anderson was on every tv. Singing An Old Junk Of Cole. Wow, I was right I thought. He made it. God Bless You My Friend. The rest is history. God Bless John Anderson.
I remember them all their music will always live on their music and movies are the best songs ever thank God bless them all their music will always live on from the last to the end marian
Everytime I hear swingin I think about my baby brother, he would take a pair of socks, a spoon, pretend it was a microphone and just sing with John on the radio. Little did I know his time was short. He died July 30 1983. He was in an accident with his bike. He did love John.
I have only been to 4 concerts and a couple of shows in Branson but you better believe one of them was John Anderson and me and my wife was just a swingin

I grew up with John and I can tell you his whole family is cut from the same tree-they are all decent, God-fearing folks.
@@ronhelmick6835 you are from Apopka?
@@ronhelmick6835 ahhh, the booming metropolis. I used to hang out with Randy Hall from Lockhart. Lived right behind the Big Red Barn before it burned down. Small world.
@@ronhelmick6835 you mean by forla and Paxton
Uh, it's "cloth". "Cut from the same cloth". Not tree.
Just thought you might want to know.
My dad used to talk about him and got to go back stage and hang out after the concert John remembered him even though it had been 20 to 30 years when they knew eachother in high school
John Anderson will always be one of my very favorite true country music singer/songwriters....the pop stars of today should get back in their lane
John is my homeboy,so.fla.And there aint no better singer songwriter than he. I was a truck driver for 40 years.I have worn out his tapes and cd's all across this country.Thank you John.
John, same here...
Been accross our nation many a time and John Anderson was keeping rhythm with me as I was counting them white lines, remember that. ?
Now I am grazing not driving. 🌴
When country was COUNTRY!
Yes❤
no this is when country turned to trash
That's right
Agreed
John Anderson Is One Of The Greatest Of All Time
funny
Music royalty. This is country music, not the garbage on the radio and award shows today.
Lord let’s not even bring up that pop music
@J Mit: And you're equally able to not read the comments here or respond to them if you don't like it, goes both ways.
Yes you are so right on that, in my opinion country music went in the shutter in 1981, there's just a few exceptions, like,Dwight, Sawyer brown , maybe a couple others, today's country has no creativity of any kind, lyrically, vocally and musically

You better believe it
Say what you want, but when John Anderson opens his mouth, magic pours from it.
There's not another singer that sounds remotely like John Anderson. He's one of the best in my opinion.
Totally agree!!!
Maynard Reed yep, I love singing his songs
It's why I don't really care for the performers now it's too hard to tell who's singing
yea he has an unusual vocal. hard to describe, breathy? maybe. I get a kick out of imitating his voice.
Listen to Lefty Frizzell. He was John's vocal inspiration thoughout his whole career.
One of the most under rated Country musicians of all time in my opinion!!
Yaa I feel same his good country
100%
Jim Adams I agree !
He has a unique voice none like him. That's what I like about traditional country.
Joe Harris He has a new song out now. Not sure if you’ve heard it. Called “Years”
I am from Apopka fla met John a few times. Regular feller just like us.
Waylon brought me here
Somewhere between right and ragged is how I discovered this man!
His music is timeless, and reflects the country way of life I grew up with
I was John's first bands in 6 and 7h grade. We were called the Customs. I played keyboard
Probably the best time ive heard him sing this song. Voice sounds better the older he gets
Men’s voices tend to get richer as they age.
Remember dancing in the yellow Rose of Texas back in the early eighties when that song came out. John Anderson the legend
JOHN ANDERSON is 0ne of the best country artists I've heard God bless you and your family
John is so unique. He invented the word 'swangin' ...right on the front porch. Love his music.
That’s one of those songs that you just love the first time you hear it, and let’s face it, John has the perfect voice to pull it off and make it a classic because nobody sounds like this guy.

John Anderson -- one of the most distinctive voices in all of popular music.
He sure makes the family proud
Definitely a lifetime achievement!!!
We rolled all the Dirtroads in the Greatest 10 years that ever was for music
The 80s was and still is a unbelievable decade for so many people including me😊
John Anderson is the Man
I am a Puerto Rican and a Salsa Musician a percussionist but John Anderson is one my best Country Singer and out of my 50 Musicians and singers he is my top 5

"Swinging"

You're probably not going to find a finer talent than what is on display here with Mr. Anderson. Thank you for posting this.
Just gives me the chills about how life use to be back in the day before the country got so chaotic
I remember this song playing constantly in a bar, behind the Daisy Hotel.... in Vegas in the late 80s.

He is my GOAT.....best song, and the most distinct country voice of all time.
You could hate country music but still get hooked on this song. His vocals can't be matched and him talking to the host shows he plays for the passion of making music and not just for the fame
My cousin Elmer and his wife Charlotte played this as their wedding song. Cracked everyone up.
I never herd so much a countryside voice like him He is simply a great singer I like his music
John My favorite thing in life was was an autograhed Cowboy hat you signed. It had XLinkin in the brim. I gave it a preacher from Alabama. Ilove you,
John you and me both need to lay off the biscuits lol... But florida has been blessed to have this man.. Stay healthy john we want you around another 50 years your a true legend.
@Kim A I hope losing the weight will keep him more healthy cause I need him making more music. The legend lives!!
