- Ricky Van Shelton's encore performance from Austin City Limits recorded on 11/24/87. Musicians are Mike Blasucci, Drake Leonard, Billy Goodness and Tommy Hannum. A stranger from the audience filled in for pianist, Randy McCormick, with a great rendition.
Lord, he's good. If any of you current country singers think you are singing "country"....you ain't.
Agree
I agree. It has gone to country rock to much.
I love this song
And he has a great voice and he does a good job singing to. I wish he was going to have a come back cus I no he would still be a great country singer
Preach it!!
Amen
One of THE very best to ever sing a country song. Ever.
Such a very nice thing to say about Ricky's talents....we thank you!
@@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton Hi Bettye. Thank you for your reply. I hope you both are happy and doing well. I meant what I stated. No one can hold a candle to Ricky’s talent. I miss his music on the radio, but have all of his music on archived CD’s😊. Please let him know he is truly missed by all of us out here. He has been blessed to have you, your strength and your faith by his side. God bless you both.😊
Yes I wish he would sing again ❤❤❤❤
What an incredible voice!! Ricky Van Shelton needs to come back. Country music needs this kind of singer, not the crap they play and call country today.
Thank you @bogey291 for taking time to comment on Ricky Van's performance!
Probably one of the best and purest voices ever in country music
Thank you, Bruce, for that very kind compliment. Ricky Van appreciates it.
Ricky van shelton in my book he is number one such a great voice and always a great song thanks for the post we will sure miss him when he retires may,God bless you and your family
Thank you, Flossie.
I am only 35 years old and I am a musician myself but Ricky is someone i look up to in Country music........he is really a freaking Legend......
Hey Steven! I read your comment to Ricky...he laughed and said "I know I'm 'freaking'!" LOL! Thank you for your comment...he sincerely appreciated it!
Till Ricky he is 100 percent Welcome ....And I hope he is enjoying his retirement ......because I am pretty sure those people with the suits on in Nashville is probably jealous about right now ..lol
Wow
I will never understand why people like Ricky just disappear from the country music scene. So much talent.
true
Nashville and Washington D.C. have a lot in common.
I read a book his wife wrote and she and Ricky both said his career was having a very negative affect on their marriage and relationship with God.
I read the book too, he is older now an knows who he is, he should return.....😥💔💔
I think he had addiction problems. The tortured soul of an artist
Can we bring back at least some country music like this to radio again in 2022?
Such a nice thought.
He’s got a great voice and enjoyed that song
Thank you very much for that comment, Cecile.
He has the most beautiful voice, wish he was still singing.
Here it is August 5, 2022 and this old 80-year-old woman still enjoys listening to RVShelton. Thank you, Bettye Shelton!
So glad you do, Joan. Thanks for letting us know
I wish ricky would come back and sing some of his old songs like this one. Man that would be awesome. Still love it to this day. Had to add that this is country at its finest. 👌
Steve, we are so glad you enjoy Ricky's music! Thanks for your comment!
One of the best❤
I love this mans voice and the emotions he puts into every song. . I worked at Sam's Town Casino in Tunica Ms and they had Ricky and a few others there for the grand opening weekend and he put on a great show and sounded great.. I miss the traditional country music that Ricky plays. . Most of what they try to pass off as country music today is pathetic
Do you know where I can find his music.
Randy McCormick nailed it on the piano! Just came up from the audience, wow!!!
I love that no matter if in person or on his records he still sings it the same way , a golden voice
❤ Ricky ❤
The real world ended in the 90s. It was the last decade of real music and freedom of life. I dont know what this is today, but it’s all messed up. Thank goodness we have the videos to relive it!
And hopefully, the traditional music will never disappear. Thank you for commenting, Chevtrukman!
He uas a beautiful voice. Been listening to Ricky since he came out and still listening to him
Happy Sunday to you Terry! And thank you for your comment and your years of supporting Ricky Van's music!
Yvonne, we sincerely appreciate hearing from you and for your support of Ricky's music.
Absolutely fantastic singer
Ricky Van and I sincerely appreciate your compliment of his music!
I love his singing can't believe I never heard him before . His song keep it between the lines as well I have done a recording of it. Only as a family sharing thing .
Stephen, We both are so glad that you discovered Ricky's music and are enjoying it. We also appreciate you letting us know!
@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton top class singer
Truly underrated as a country artist!
We appreciate all your comments!
Somebody lied! Modern country doesn't compete!
I heard this song on the radio the other night for what had to be the first time in 20 years. Hearing Ricky's songs not only reminds me of the good old school country, the way it used to be, the way it should be, but also of my dad... as Ricky was one of my dad's favorites. Dad raised me on country and he used to have all Ricky's albums. Well Dad passed away in 1998, and with him went so much of my life I'd known to then ,(I was only 18 then,). But when I hear songs like this, I'm right back with my dad, in his Chevy, and life is still yet to be explored with no tinges of sadness that have come to stain it irrevocably since. Ricky, thanks so much for all your music and I hope you're enjoying your well earned retirement. And Bettye, thanks so much for this channel that shares the gift of his voice with the world forever. I enjoy it. and I know Dad would too.
Thank you so much, Tim, for sharing how Ricky's music has touched your life and meant so much to your Father's. I will pass on your kind words to Ricky.
What store would carry his music do you know if so please reply.
EYE CANDY
My favourite singer. I used to listen to his songs and do my house work. 2025 and still listening to y❤
Thank you very much Caroline! Ricky Van & I both appreciate your support of his music!
That voice is to die for! OMG don't stop!!!!!!!👾💯💢💥💝💝💝😿💝💝
Ricky Van and I sincerely appreciate your thoughts, Billie!
@@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton4:36
You can tell that Ricky loves his fans and his band.....and they love him back!! I agree with another comment. If you close your eyes and listen, except for the thunderous sound of the crowd, you can't tell the difference between Ricky's live and recorded performances. Ricky is First Class quality. Ricky's music takes me back to the dance floors of the 80's and 90's. I never sat through his songs. Great times.
Tremendous. Clean, strong vocal delivery, just the best voice, and a great presence on stage too.
Thank you Michael for your comment. Ricky and I both appreciate you taking time to let him know your thoughts.
@@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton Thank you. I am from Scotland and was at Ricky's concert in Glasgow in 1994. I hope he remembers his trip to the UK. The Scottish audience loved him, what a great show he did. I had been a fan since 1987 and it was fantastic to see him in my country. I am still a huge fan of his today. All the best to both of you.
Michael, Your words mean a lot to Ricky Van and to me! We certainly remember that trip to Scotland...it was wonderful and beautiful. Ricky's career began in 1987; we appreciate your support of his music from the beginning!@@MichaelSacoma
I am on face-book, if you want to send me a friend request.
@@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton Thank you, have just sent a request, under my 'real' surname (Crawford). My name here is for my TH-cam channel, where I sing and use a different surname.
A far underrated true Country singer. Ricky is one of the best pure voices ever!
Mike Blasucci, great guitarist and harmony singer. Ricky has the purest country singin' voice ever was.
Appreciate that!
Very good job well done
I love Ricky, & miss hearing him sing. But I was blessed to met him at The Sternwheel Regatta, in Charleston WV. I got a hug, autograph picture & chatted some. I have Cerebral Palsy. Just wanted to THANK YOU for taking the time visit your fans that had Disabilities😘
Thank you for the music. It's pulled me thru some bad years. And after she left this song came on. And put my boots on and pull my hat down just a little tighter. And raised my boys to become good Men.
Thank you for the words to the songs.
Phil
Thank you Phil, for letting Ricky & I know that his music made a difference for you.
A golden voice, a great singer. Love ❤️ you
To just open your mouth and unleash such an amazing instrument. My FIRST EVER concert was RVS in Bangor, Maine (Shania Twain was his supporting act, during her "What Made You Say That" time). At the end of Statue of a Fool, when he stops playing and just grips his guitar while singing the last line... awesome memory!!
Wish he hadn’t left country music so early! What a great voice! ❤
We appreciate that!
Absolutely love Ricky’s voice…… and he’s really really good looking.
I totally agree!
This was the first songs I I remember hearing by Ricky Van Shelton. It always brings back memories of my life after high school. Would be nice to rewind life and start again. Time goes by too fast. Thanks for sharing this song. Ricky Van Shelton has always been my favorite Country Music Singer. He was a natural true artist.
Thanks for your comments, Laura. Hope your memories are good ones.
He has been my fave for years.
All Ricky's song's are my favorites
Oh my, pure country. I love, love love Ricky's music
Wore his cds out in the 80s
Thank you for sharing these! I love Ricky's voice and the emotion he puts in all his songs. I also appreciate how he keeps it country. So glad you keep putting these out here for others to "discover" how great he truly is!
I wish he would do a new album with songs like my very favorite. Sheltered in the arms of God. And songs like Gold watch and chain and so many others not able to purchase. He is the BEST And he sing the the phone directory and make it sound great. You can remain retired just bring out some new songs and no tours. Your talent that God Blessed you with is comparable to late Jim Reeves but better. Thank you for all the music you have given us. But your Gospel music has so much love and sincere feelings
@@sharonwilliams5048 Bettye just said recently on her Facebook page that he said he'd sing for free just got to pay him to travel. Don't blame him I'd hate touring too!
I agry with all of you country music lovers Ricky has a beautyful voice and he should return to the country Szene ❤❤❤
Ricky Van & I sincerely appreciate your comment!
so wish God would have given us more years of Ricky Van Shelton songs, he didn't sing very long, only long enough to make enough income to live happily in his life......SURE WISH HE COULD OR WOULD COME BACK!
We appreciate your comment, Patricia.
One of the most amazing voices ever xx
Attended my darling brothers funeral 4 years ago in New Zealand. During the service...my brothers favorite singer and favorite song he so loved...Ricky Van Shelton..."I'll leave this world loving you." Not a dry eye in the Church. RVS is alive and well in beautiful...('Kiwi Land' NZ's..)and here in down-under...Australia...(Aussie) I never tire listening to your voice. Keep singing!!!
Thank you very much for sharing this memory with us, Penee. I'll let Ricky know about your kind comments.
Again listening to Ricky sing with that beautiful voice..i agree with the comments of other Ricky' s fans..he should come back...but i understand both of you are enjoing his retirement.. God bless you .and keep singing Ricky..all your music is great..Love your voice..
Great artist
I love all his songs absolutely fabulous voice love it and I'm a great fan
thanks for you support of Ricky's music, Patricia.
RVS, always the best! Thank you for sharing this, Bettye!
A very wonderful encore, I wish that I could have seen Ricky in concert. Thank you for sharing this Bettye. God Bless You.
I saw Ricky in concert 4 times and if he were still doing concerts, I would still be going to listen to him!
Thank you very much, Tommie. We sincerely appreciate your support of Ricky's music.
Ricky I've played for some of the biggest stars in country music. You are great
Glad to hear from you!
My whole family loved Ricky.(we still do) They surprised me one birthday and took me to see him when he came to South Bend, In. It was drier and cleaner than the concert before. We walked in mud over our shoes, soaking wet to hear this man. I have every CD, tape and book he wrote. They do NOT have anyone this great today! Ricky is country thru and thru. Thank you for this!
Thanks, Bettye for posting this great song by your super hubby.
Right up there with "He Stopped loving Her Today", both song and singer, in my opinion.
to right
One of the best
Ricky Van & I appreciate your comment.
I sure wish he would come out of retirement and sing again. I love his voice....
I have several of Ricky's CD and play them all the time. Wish he was still making music.
He is the best in country music. He so smooth.
We both appreciate you saying that, Sharon!
This is a beautiful song and I love the pureness he has in his voice. I love to hear him talk. My husband, Doug, is from Stanton, VA and talks a lot like him. I also love the music, especially the piano. That was nice that a stranger played the piano. He really did a great job. God Bless You, Ricky and Bettye and thank you for posting these wonderful songs. Gwen
Did Ricky ask that piano player what his name was and thank him?
What a voice. Lovely man.
Thank you Anne for taking time to comment. Ricky Van & I sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks so very much for replying Bettye. This has made my day. I am speaking the truth when I say Ricky's voice is atounding, God given, similar to Elvis. And a real Christian gentleman during interviews.
Also, he has had you by his side. Bless you both mightily in the Name of our Lord Jesus.
I live in England UK and immediately got my 4 sisters online to listen. All in 60s or 70s now but young enough to appreciate a delightful artist. I too paint...a bit...still learning, had a few flying lessons in a Cessna in my 20s. And love alot of Country and Gospel music. May God grant you and your family many more happy years. Christian love to both. Anne ❤️❤️
@@anneashley5110 It sounds like we have a lot in common! I also took flying lessons and solo'ed a few times because Ricky began flying his plane to concerts. It's great to be connected with you! If you are on Facebook, send me a friend request!
@@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton Thank you so much for your kind invitation on Facebook Bettye. But I am not a subscriber. I had to delete myself because I was inundated with requests for Christian and Chiropractic help. I am retired and had moved on from Chiropractic to Neurology so could only give advice to general questions. But the requests flooded so there is a need out there and I wonder why help is not given. Eventually the backlog was so large that my son had to close things down. I've wondered how I could help without a deluge and I don't know how they obtained my name. A fluke perhaps. So sadly I have decided not to open Facebook again. You deserved this explanation after being so kind and patient. Sorry for the delay. After hearing more of Ricky Vans hits, I'm more persuaded than ever that a re release of his albums is in order. But his and your decision. He was grossly undervalued and the 'plugging' of records in Britain was very skewed. Jimmy Saville our main DJ was a culprit here and posthumously turned out to be a villain. I do wish both of you the very best for the future and I can tell you ,Ricky's recordings are available on youtube here daily. So I have alot of catching up to do. Much love and Grace . Thank him for using his wonderful voice when he did. XX
I do post comments when I've listened to more of his recordings and they are sincere comments from the heart. I told my sisters to teach grandchildren to turn their 'tears into a song'. As it's so easy to carry a burden through your life. I feel this is what 'Country' does to an extent. Opens up the heart. Hearing these heartaches being universal frees you to turn things right round. Thank you again from a very grateful listener. Anne. X
I'd love to see him come back.and bring real country music with hi.
He & I appreciate your good thoughts, Maryanne.
This was the song that made me fall in love with Ricky! Thank you for sharing Bettey!
Thanks, Colleen...so glad you let us know!
One of the greatest country singers ever. I wish I could see him live. As a kid my dad would listen to his songs over and over.
Ricky Van sincerely appreciates your kind comments; and we both appreciate your service to your community!
I’m in amazement and awe that you replied to me ❤️🤩 Thank you so much for saying that. It’s a great career but a hard one also. Ricky is my favorite country singer of all time. Thank you again so much! You made my day!
His pitch is SPOT ON!!! Any song he sings becomes his song 🎶
What a great compliment, Martha. Ricky sincerely appreciates it!

Thank you, Shirley. Ricky Van appreciates your comment.
Always listen to Ricky every now and then. Just makes me think about the past. some body lied.
Thank you, Edward, for listening to Ricky's music. He appreciates you.
I don’t know who gave those 17 Thumbs Down, but they obviously have no taste in music. I was lucky enough to see Ricky in concert and met him once-he was kind enough to give me a hug- and I have to say, that voice is unmatchable. Perfection! Bettye, I hope he sings to you every day!
What a very nice comment, Nancy. We thank you!
Agree 1000 percent. Always stayed to good country music. Todays music is no NOT country music. I can’t listen to The wanna be country but can’t deliver
Really miss him, what a great country singer
We both appreciate your comment, James.
Just another fabulous song sung by the greatest. As I've said many time, he makes you feel every word he sings. Jacquie Barbani
One of the few who brings back the good times
A truly glorious voice.
Ricky is the Best! 👍❤️

Wow Bettye that's my fav song by Ricky. Seen him when he first came out in Salem va drove 3 hrs to that show. From central va
