If I could just give Gene Watson and this song a "Thumbs Up" every time I listen to it, the world would run out of numbers !!!!
@@franf5995l
Me too!
You got that right!
Those that posted thumbs down don't know true Country music. Gene is one of the greatest singers I have heard!
Hi there,how are you doing my friend?
Amen, my uncle and some cousins played thos and he stopped loving her today at their funerals
I Never seen any thumbs down when this singer sings! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😂
Saw Gene. Twice he was great got rhe autograph tee shirt
@@donnaclark3121😊the Greatest
I just totally love this song. He is just one of the best. I miss this kind of country music. Not 2024 music. What has happened to the so called country of today.
I have loved to listen to his music since I was in high school late 70s
Yes so true it's like it's right off the chopping block all they got to do is mix up the words a bit but that's not country music
@@betsymyers-gu3ib I would like to think that iAm.but I haven't joined nofan club.or anything.but I think your music is real and from the heart and you have the voice to go with that.god bless you and your music
I have drank a many beer listening and singing along with Gene , my God what happened to music in 2024 ? Tears are welling up my eyes
I don't know what this junk is they are calling country music today
I can't even think of a single song in today's so called country that can come close to this song. And that steel guitar on my.
Country music has been murdered now!!
You ain't lying brother! I don't waste my time listening to it
It's 7:08 pm in Kansas and I'm listening to gene. One of the greatest. It's 2024. I'm old school. 67 years old
Before I have my Farewell Party , I would love to see him just one Time .❤️
I get to go tonight in Abilene, TX! I'm just so sorry my husband passed on before we could go together...
My ex wife bailed on me and took a buddy who didn’t know his music but left a fan
I am seeing him in February!
One of my very favorites!!!
I am still listening to this song in 2024. I love Gene Watson in the business.
What do you admire most about Gene
Me too it a great sad song 8 12 2024
13 years and 12 million views and still bringing people to tears. Legend.
YES!
Gets me every time....
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT SINGING FROM GENE .I LOVED HIS VOICE, IT WAS MARVELLOUS. ELIZABETH XXXXX😘 SCOTLAND XXXXXXX😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Who is the man to Gene’s right and the blond in the orange dress ?
The song came out in 1979, 7 months after my uncle's murder. It should have been dedicated to his wife.
My hubby of 43 years died Jan 7, 2024 and he requested this song ahead of time! I had it played at his service! ❤❤❤
What do you admire most about Gene
Played it as my dad was wheeled out of Hospice. He requested it years ago
My dad insisted this song be played at his funeral...he passed Feb 2021 and I thank you for keeping this song up, as I come by regularly and listen with my dad. I love you dad - until we meet again!
I also love your 🎶music Mr Gene Watson ❤. I miss 😢 your music. It seems all the greats, are all dying out. What a shame, country music today is mostly for the younger generation.
@@murielrichardson3922 bbbbbbbbbb6hhhbhhqbbb bbb
My Dad did too. He used to say it when I was growing up. He passed in October 2019 and we played it for him. Sorry for your loss!
i want it played at mine
I used to tell my husband I wanted this played at my funeral but he left first
He was inducted to hall fame this year. VERY WELL DESERVED
One God given voice, love it.Dosent get any better than this.
No he was not.
Google search doesn’t even pull up the 2021 inductees (if there are any yet).
God give avoice i wasraised with hismusic
That’s very well deserved
Absolutely no better real country singer than Gene Watson. He is outstanding with every song he sings. Makes you feel as though you are living with the song he is singing or have heartbreaking memories from the song he is singing. No one can sing a tear jerking song better than Gene Watson. If he isn't in the Country Music Hall of Fame then no one should be.
Totally agree
He is absolutely the best there was and will ever be! Just beautiful.
@@mariemartin8355😂
Have you listened to any tom t hall songs?
My daddy had this played at his funeral on December 31,2020 and his name is Joseph he went to see Jesus there is nothing better than this song and seeing our father Jesus amen❤😂😢😢🎉🎉🎉
Remember my Dad playing this a lot growing up. He passed Dec. 25 2020.
My sister n law traveled many places to see gene Watson and loved his music she passed 9/3/22😂
The country music GREATNESS on that stage was incomparable, todays crap country music will never be one tenth as GOOD as the TRUE artist that gathered there just having fun and singing songs , its pure GOLD in my opinion. Thanks to who ever took the time to make this video .
Love the song gene
Gene Watson will someday be recognized as one of the greatest singers of all time, right up there with Merle, George, Willie, and Johnny, Waylon, and a few legendary others . You can play this man's songs for hours and not get tired of listening to him. He always leaves us wanting more ...... Thank you for continuing, Mr. Watson ....

You are so right and you never get tired of his voice
I know that's right!!!!
He most definitely is one of the very best.
Maybe those corporate companies won't IDK but his fans know... He is legendary and can't be replaced..
I love the old country music!! I'm 76 but I know what good music sounds like.
I love it too
Yes so true
Gene Watson is one of the greats. We saw him , he was young and we were young at Mama's country showplace on Covington Highway near Decatur Georgia and became immediate fans. We are nearing 80 and still enjoy his music. Country music is no longer country music. Long live the 60's--70's--80's.
I remember it well. Great times every weekend 1:08
I saw Ray Price at "Mama's Country Showplace" in the 80's, I loved that place
Agreed. Country ain't country no more as some would say.
THERE WILL NEVER BE A REPLACEMENT FOR THESE SINGER'S,AND WE ALL HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN AROUND TO SEE AND HEAR THE HISTORY THAT HAS BEEN OUR PLEASURE.
Amen🙏
Modern country is alright but never will. Replace conventional country music like this.
AMEN
You are so very right.
You know he can not be replaced
This is just the greatest. No production just plain TALENT! Something country is lacking in anymore!
Ok
Hanks
No one any better in country music
Hello beautiful, hope you're doing great??
Gene simply is one of the best voices ever in country music. Even the greats today cannot match this quality of voice.
you got that right
he is so special and so real
Brings a tear to my eye
Oh how I Love Gene Watson !!! My Momma took Me see Him the first time when I was 9 years old... ❤️🎤🎶🎶🎶❤️. She’s where I get My LOVE of Real Music 🎶
Wonderful Gene The greatest ever.No one can touch you.
I used to sing with Gene's brother Jessie at my Uncle's house and at church.
Imagine my surprise when I got to meet Gene Watson and sing with him in his garage. Jessie and my Uncle wanted him to here me sing a song. He liked the song so much, he asked me to teach it to him.
That was when he lived in Houston Texas.
Years later a friend took me to see him in concert and he remembered me.😊
the best
That ladies and gentlemen, is country music.
Still don't understand why Gene Watson is not in the Country Music Hall of Fame! He deserves it!
+garscott It's because he didn't put out as many hits as so many other artist but i do agree that he should be in the Hall of Fame
+Corey Gunz Gene recorded two number one hits, twenty three top ten singles and over seventy five singles in the charts. Not sure why that wouldn't be enough.
+garscott You can't get into the CMHF with that frizzy mullet and facial hair. You know how backward the old timers are.
He is in our hall of fame!
Is that the Texas Hall of Fame?
This is one of the greatest songs ever written
Gene doesn't get near the recognition he deserves.
My mom had this song at her funeral on my birthday . She passed away October 14 2024 I miss her so much 💗
So sorry you lost your mom. I hope you find some comfort in this song and that your grief will become manageable soon. That's how it happened with me when my dad died.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is the best rendition of this song. He did this sitting down and not in a studio. Superb!!
Hi there,how are you doing?
Maybe ties for first. A great version when he was a guest on the Marty Stuart show. Its on YT.
@ Joyce Bennett, not only did he sing this song sitting down, but he hit, and held that ultra high note at the very end while sitting down. That in itself is not an easy task. Did you hear what Larry Gatlin said at the end ?
Look at them all singing along with Gene. They love him and love to hear him Sing.
Who Is The Lady In An Orange Suit And Blond Hair?
Hello ✋ Gracie how are you doing??
This is one of the most beautiful and saddest at same time, songs I’ve ever heard Gene sing. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Gene just gets better every time he sings! I would give him a million thumbs up if I could!
@@robertharris2920 The Lady in the orange suit,blonde hair has to be Country singer,Barbara Fairchild.
Me too!
This song was played at a friend's funeral and everyone was crying.. it's the most touching song ever song What a voice Love it
Hi there,how are you doing my friend?
I think this is the one where Larry Gatlin and Lori Morgan said they all would rather listen to gene than sing themselves.
Gene is the greatest
Just posted this song song for my brothers funeral….Rest In Eternal Peace

Gene is that awesome!
He never deviates from the original song.
@@joeyarbrough7107 p.
That's a sign of a true artist.
I ALWAYS get chills at the high note at the end. Good "country" song here. Can't get better than this
Wow what a voice
Who is the guy sitting just in front of the great singer Gene Watson ?? His comment is he did it sitting down it Ottawa be against the law ??
My dad died 1 yr ago today miss u dad mom
He did it sitting down. He never flinched. ( No special effects needed ) Pure vocal talent. I so miss real country radio like this !!!!
I agree with your words, Johnny! I was hoping you might check out my Merlin Gene channel on TH-cam. I try hard to carry on this fine style of music. Thanks so much!
Yes I agree with you they need to get a radio station that only plays true country music
Becky
@@mugsylucas4966 they do have one. It's called Willie's Roadhouse on Sirius XM. They play all of the classics to include a fair amount of Gene Watson's hits. Willie Nelson's daughter Paula is one of the DJs. It's awesome.
My Mommie wanted this played at her funeral i love you momma im playing this for you your favorite song Fronie Collins 2 28 _2021 ,, today is Aug 13 th 2023 i love you my beautiful angel ✝️🌹🌟🙏❤️
He has such a great vocal range it is unbelievable. He holds a note like Pavarotti. I love all his songs. I know this was 14 years ago and some here are now gone but they too, were rapt by his performance. Keep them coming Gene.
Perfect pitch and he had a little age on him too!
Grabs my heart every time I listen to this song. Long live country music.❤
If it ain't country, it ain't music and it doesn't get any better than this
Whenever I listen to song I miss my brother may his soul rest in peace I love you brent goliath 😢
One of my all time favorites, too !!! I lost my husband September 5, 2021 - 56 years together- so I cry every time I hear it!!!
❤
One GrEAT song for the ages
Wow!!! That man can sing....Gene Watson....one of the all time greats... I love him and his golden voice.
He is absolutely the best this song is so beautiful ❤️
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
Gene just kills it, if you thumbs downed this then you have no soul, shame on ya!
Bring me another beer to cry in please mam.
Thumbs down must be liberals
True, 44mickd! I was hoping you might check out my Merlin Gene channel on TH-cam. I try hard to carry on this fine style of music. Thanks so much!
44mickd he sure did!! Love to listen to him. 🥰
Gene really hits my heart with this perfect song
Love Gene!
That my friends is true country music from a living legend!!❤
Holy Cow, an All Star lineup on that video. Gene Watson hits a home run every time he sings that song!
Dwight A i have the album this is on. Its calked "Ryman homecoming" its brilliant. Aswell as this song my favorite is Waylon singing "Bob Wills is still the king"
Gene hits it out of the park on every song he sings his or anyones
@Dwight A. It’s interesting to recognize and pick out some of the greats in that crowd
Where was this recorded at
A beautiful song, well sung, by a great singer Gene Watson!!!
Absolutely timeless !! True country music !!
Gene Watson is one of the greatest Country singers of all time...
Sitting here this morning with a very very heavy heart my brother will soon be leaving us he loves Gene Watson and he loves this song farewell party and the gospel before the Hammers could ring I know Mr Gene Watson you probably will never see this but I just had to say thank you my brother seen you at concerts in West Virginia you autographed a t-shirt for him he bragged about it all the time I know you have a lot of fans I'm one of your fans too but my brother dearly loves you thank you for all the wonderful music down through the years thanks for being true to your fans you have been a big inspiration and my brother's life and I just wanted to take the time and thank you God bless you Gene Watson💔😢🙏

No, I won't be glad when Gene Watson is gone! Love his sound ... and wish I had the nerve to sing with him!
Hello beautiful how are you doing
@@philipdonald7092 I'm fine, especially since my 2 youngest daughters, 3 of my granddaughters and myself have recovered from the Covid-19 ... My picture doesn't look like the one posted ... with all the mess of 2020, I look like I've aged 20 years.... How are you, Philip?
@@hildadossparris2060 I’m doing fine..where are you from..
@@hildadossparris2060 good morning
@@hildadossparris2060 hello beautiful
Gene is in the same league as Merle Haggard, George Jones, Johnny Cash and all the other wonderful traditional country singers we love so much, saddens me to think we are losing them as the years go on,,,,
I agree.
Paul Murphy yes he is
Paul Murphy km
I agree they were the best and still thr ones that remain still have it compare to this time music
that is so true,
Definitely should have this man in the country music hall of fame as a great singer
Watching in 2024. This is what real country music sounds like ❤❤
Yes it is I got to meet gene after a concert he’s a good guy
I really hope this song is played when I take my last breath
Hello ✋ Judy how are you doing??
My husband and I danced to this until 2008. He told me this was what he wanted at his farewell party. His family chose otherwise but I still listen to it. Miss him. Love this song from my soul ❤
What do you admire most about Gene
My dad passed away at 77 I will be 77 this year coming will I served Pass my Dad is always something that I think of.
This is REAL country! Look at all the legends in the room......the best!!
We saw him about a month ago in East Texas and as always, he puts on a superb show. He'll be 80 on October 11th and he sounds exactly the same as this video. He has an absolutely amazing voice! It's such a crying shame that he's been SO underrated by Nashville! Nothing fancy, just honesty and integrity with style and class. One thing that Nashville is definitely lacking today . He should have been in the CM Hall of Fame YEARS ago. Such a fantastic singer! It's proven that his music has transcended the test of time!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
@Carolmccoy7 2 months ago. Carol, l ABSOLUTELY agree with you .l am lrish but live in SCOTLAND now .Gene Watson's voice was incredible to listen to. Thanks Gene for all your FANTASTIC songs .ELIZABETH SCOTLAND XXXX 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Gene Watson is the best country Artist that exists today. He remains true to country music. I love to listen to him 24/7. Never get tired of hearing him. Yes I'm starting struck but I'm never gonna change. Love this man
And his Music.
Hello there,how are you doing?
As good a voice as there has ever been in country music.
I have a 2 year old Great Grandson that I have sang this song to since he was a newborn. He Loves it and now he turns 3 in January and he sings it to me only he sings I'll be sad when you're gone. Melts my heart but that's Our song. What beautiful Memories this song has for both of us.
Gene Watson deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, if anyone does. His fans do not understand
He sure does, Carol! I was hoping you might check out my Merlin Gene channel on TH-cam. I try hard to carry on this fine style of music. Thanks so much!
Merlin Gene j
He's my favorite
My husband passed 30years ago that night after everyone left the house l turned on the radio an this song on l had cried tell them but still love the son
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
What A ("Great Living,Legend,".)
A ("Great Signature,Song,".)
Love You,Gene.
slays me EVERY time i watch this. This song is right up there with George Jone's "He Stopped Loving Her Today " . Pure classic country at its absolute best - by the Master , Gene Watson.
I learned about this song a few years ago and I have made the decision that this tops George Jones He stopped loving her today.
I agree 100% except that I can not let either one of them be the first.........just love this song.........
I agree. My good friend who is a musicologist believes that it is a close call between George Jones.he stopped loving her today and this Gene Watson Farewell Party and now we have another one on the list....Dwayne Yoakam with Two Doors Down.............
TOTALLY AGREE
I Love Gene Watson. It's real set that some good ones are gone. I don't like new country. Look like the young people could see what the older ones does and keep that old classic going. Sad.
He is definitely a winner in my book. None other like him!!! A style all his own!
Love all of his songs!!!
Hello Jeanne
He sits alone at the TopOfgreat CountrySingers in mybooks
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
One of the Greatest. Not many can hold a candle to Gene Watson!
+Nola Whitlow
George Jones
none

Conway is the best
True, Nola! I was hoping you might check out my Merlin Gene channel on TH-cam. I try hard to carry on this fine style of music. Thanks so much!
I would have loved to have heard Troy Gentry cover this song; i can’t think of many others who could have hit that last note, maybe Larry Gatlin
You can see everyone waiting for the big payoff at the end of the song, and when it happens, the joy just overflows.........Wow. What a pro.
X
What a talent...GENE WATSON-
@@genewatson7891 Man I'd love to do that, but I'll hafta learn how first! LOL! Pretty low tech here I'm afraid....:)
Gene's the greatest. Who else built a career around one note?
My father in this law played this song all the time. Id give the world to set and have one more beer with him. Love and miss you herb
This is one all time favorite song yes I am a fan
You're absolutely right.....Good evening Kathy how are you doing over there, it's a lovely day that the lord has made.
I remember this song from my cousin Dusty's black Ford pick up he played farewell party on his 8 track I'm so glad you are still here !;
I don't like country music but this song gives me chill is so good
An absolute master of his craft.
One of my absolute favorites!!!! This man has such an incredible voice.
Hi there,how are you doing my friend?
I seen Gene Watson in Springfield Missouri back in time with my late Husband. Love to hear Gene swinging 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤Hope he is still living 🙏
Love his music. I saw him in concert a few years ago. He had a great show
@Marcos Bryant His honesty , integrity, he doesn't believe that he is as great as he is, his songs move people. He has a great voice.

This song reminds me of my dad. He played and sang this song all the time. He has been gone 25 years and I miss him and my mom so much.
I met Mr Watson in 1988 he was a great friend thank you Mr Watson all's the music
Beautiful song, farewell party, to gene❤
Wish more of the older country music was played today
Older he gets the better he gets!!!
He really does, Polly! I was hoping you might check out my Merlin Gene channel on TH-cam. I try hard to carry on this fine style of music. Thanks so much!
This man needs to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame
When it's My time to go I want this song to be played at my funeral
