I was in the 4th grade with Larry Collins. I never saw his sister, but he was a good kid. My parents tooks us to several of these shows. Great fun. My parents went to see one of the shows with Johnny Cash, so I always look at the audience to see if I can find my deceased parents.
They're all very talented but Patsy Cline? She's on a whole other level. No one can sing like her. Probably the best vocalist in country, folk, rock, pop, soul, R&B, even opera. The way she puts soooo much feeling in her voice. Here and there a slight cry, slight yodel, slight pause, all perfectly timed. No one can duplicate that.
Perfect instinct for musical phrasing. I bet she never planned or knew what she'd do out there during a performance. Although she was obviously completely in control.
"...even opera..." Uh, look, I love Patsy Cline, too, but the demands that opera places upon singers is absolutely unreal. Add to that the requirement for being in costume (sometimes extremely elaborate with period stays, corsets, etc.) and acting and being on the stage for hours.
Who is still watching this in 2019??? Those Collins kids were pretty good! They were rock n roll. I'm a little dissappointed Tex didn't sing on this show. But it was still pretty good, can't complain about Johnny and Patsy!
Winchester Virginia. 9-8-32 the amazing Patsy Cline 3-5-63. Be gone for nearly 60 years now and that lady can still bring a tear to ones eye. Instantly recognizable and never equaled her delivery and inflection and unique beauty. Well it leaves me awestruck.
My brother and I drove from West Virginia to visit her grave. Her voice had a ringing quality that I've never heard in any white singer. Just lovely. Unique in the true meaning of unique. Plane crash: Piper Comanche, N7000P. Patsy Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Cowboy Copas, Randy Hughes. Hughes was Patsy's manager and the pilot. Not instrument-rated. He was concerned about the weather and stopped to call his wife, who told him the sun was shining in Nashville, so he pressed on in the face of bad weather. Without instrument competency, he lost control in the clouds and crashed, killing everyone.
I can't even believe he is gone...one of the most talented, and handsome singers ever.My mom saw him perform in Milwaukee, Wi. when he still wore white...she was dressed all in black and he stepped on her finger, ( she had her hand on the stage), ...he soon after started wearing black... ;)
@Charles Taylor yes, some people seem to have a wonderful gift for singing from a young age, don't they? I know it can be taught, but having the natural ability is a great advantage. It was a treat to see the video, I'm in Australia, and just loved it! 🙂
I remember going to see the show in 1955 and it was just like this one. I loved it. We would ride the bus up to Compton from the Navy Base in San Diego. Those were wonderful carefree days.
The show was held every Saturday night live at a building called the Town Hall, carried live by TV station KTTV. Across the street was Jerry's BBQ restaurant you where would see some of the entertainers after the show.
Wow ! What a dream line-up ! Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, The Collins Kids & Bobby Helms all in one show. The other performers were fantastic as well. A true treasure I hope it's never taken down !
A young handsome Johnny Cash. I had never seen Patsy Cline perform. It's easy to see why she was so popular. Patsy also comes across as a strong woman.
Larry is still alive. 75 years old. His sister Laurie died in 2018 after complications from a fall in her home. Look up “My window faces south” with George Morgan. You will see them both in their 20’s as well as a young Glenn Campbell !
Patsy Cline was the queen of the lovelorn blues. What a voice ,She wrote so many songs in such a short lifetime.RIP. She is an icon, like Marilyn Monroe now.
Idk if she wrote her songs? That wouldn't at all take away from how amazing she was, I'm just curious I guess, cuz I wasn't aware she actually wrote any of her songs?
I don't remember this show, but, that kid was outrageous... I hope he went on to BIGGER things for his talent. Johnny Cash, what can I say(?). Still !! 3:)
Patsy could have been an Academy Award winning actress as well as the greatest female country artist. She put herself into a song like no other! Her facial expressions and purity of raw feelings are beyond belief! Her early departure from this life was tragic but we must thank God for the time she did have to touch us all and to leave a mark on country musics, a high mark that very few have ever come close to reach. Thanks for posting this treasure! All of the performances were excellent! I loved the hymn as well! This young lady nailed it as well!
Johnny cash was a shit he treated Luther like a slave ,and that rhyme was Luthers not johns , don't you see how he looks at Johnny all the time and he died of an allsore ,Johnny burning in hell.
Wow the Collins Kids were so talented. I’d forgotten all about them. The vintage Patsy Cline piece is vibrant and shows her stage presence. Her voice control and phrasing is mesmerizing . 💕. Of course seeing a youthful Johnny Cash before he became the “Man in Black” is the frosting on the cake.
I remember when I was a child my cousins had western group. That traveled and did shows with tex Ritter I had a publicity photo of them with tex and bob Steele western star who appeared in movies with tex my that was long ago there's a lot of talent here enjoyed this so much my cousins were the Gilbert sisters.
The guy in the white cowboy hat playing banjo and the double neck guitar behind Bobby Helms is Joe Maphis who was known as the "King of The Strings". He was lead guitar player for Ricky Nelson before Ricky hired James Burton. It is Maphis playing on Nelson's early hits "BeBop Baby", "Waitin' In School" and "Stood Up" among others.
Patsy Cline was considered to be the best over all singer in country music, as far as pure skill and technique is concerned, and that is still true to this day. Not saying she is everyone's favorite, everyone has their own favorite songs. I am just saying what many music teachers and musicians have said, about her skill level and technique.
Patsy Cline and I tell you what I go to the lady and borrow say hey man I got Patsy Cline records at the house and she's come right on over and we have a good old time I'll just let you know the music of Patsy Cline really brought the girls back to my place I was always always love Patsy Cline just to let you know that and this is 25-30 years ago and I'm 67 now and I ain't got no records of Patsy Cline but I'm sure as heck trying
Hank Williams Snr singing the old country church, I grew up in Lilydale Australia, born in '63, I love Hank's songs, but the old country church tugs at my heart, I can hear all the saddest and happiness in his voice. Long live Hank Williams Snr, a true legend.
He made that show the classic that it is.. Still airing in 2020.. And, John Ritter was pretty awesome in everything he did.. His dark turn in ' bride of chucky ', and the episode of buffy, titled ' ted '.. problem child 1 & 2!!
They must have rehearsed many hours to present such a good show. All the music, vocal and instrumental, is top notch. The costumes are beautiful. The simple sets let the talent shine through, even if budget was a consideration. There was not a single mention or sign of a sponsor, at a time when sponsors plastered their names all over. I guess the show was bought by individual stations rather than broadcast by a network. Imagine so much talent in the same place and time!
Personally knowing Patsy music she opened up a world to notice and the radios played. Walking on and singing back then was like all the artists that worked their way to our hearts with their music. Not sure she ever got that title. However her music will live on forever. R.I.P> 1932-1963 that horrible crash It was tragic and Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas died that dat as well and Hawkshaw was married to Jean Shepard another incredible icon in Country Music I met Jean years ago she is still available on TH-cam.
I was serving in Germany when this was done and we had a guy who was a Jonny Cash fan fanatic, ask him any question about cash and he had the answer down to his belt size but of course we did not know if he was telling the truth.
AMERICAN IDOL >>> Patsy would do very well on modern talent shows due to Her calm yet sweet perfect projection, pitch , tone confidence , writing talent
A PURE CRYSTAL harmonious voice with the guitars & violins in the background , that is what I truely consider, the genuine Country-Folk songs & music coming from the USA. JOhnny Cash in the 1957 singing the this version of I WALK THE LINE, a heavenly delight. Thanks. jpier.
What a wonderful find this old ‘Tex Ritter Country’ clip is...they are all so very young! It’s great to see Ol’ Johnny Cash at the start of his fabulous career. The little guy jumpin’ around at the beginning is fun and of course, Patsy Cline is as moving as always. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful! The smooth and bluesy Patsy Cline, Bobby Helms, Jingle bell rock immortality, The sweet,soulful balad "Special Angel " soars. Johnny Cash young and pure. All talented, having fun. Thankyou 😊
Would love to see television programming like that today. Cant beat talent like we had back in those days. Great family entertainment clean and wholesome.
"I'm a Long Gone Daddy" is a Hank Williams song from a decade before. It's interesting how close country/hillbilly/rockabilly was coming to what eventually became "Rock and Roll" .
I agree! Early 50’s Country/Rockabilly/Rock n’ Roll/Surf Rock/Blues *all* overlapped. Just imagine if we didn’t try to kill off the entire generation in Vietnam, we’d probably have had another Hank Sr., Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Faron Young, Duane Eddy, or Dick Dale! I was not alive, but.. music from the Pre-British Invasion era is highly underrated!!
Heard Tex-Ritter had red hair his son was in.Jacksonville once upon time everybody was talking about it excited they were. l nevèr knew about these things until now and after I grew up much later. This is a treat for me.
Larry Collins on Double Neck was an incredibly talented kid! Ranch Party was an awesome show featuring many great guests of the time. We had a few 16mm films when I was a boy. And of course, Tex Ritter.
+Joseph Kressley Don't forget Johnny Bond, Fiddlin' Kate, Skeets McDonald, and the king of the strings (Larry Collin's instructor) Joe Maphis. Les "Carrot Top" Anderson and Sons of the Pioneers were always great too. This whole show featured amazing performers...though I wasn't too wild on the Hoosier Hotshots when they showed up.
@@jwith100 I was 4,so I guess that makes you 10 years older than me! I was brought up on this music, but I can't remember seeing any of his shows, sadly.
I am a 49 year old black man who knows nothing about country music but I know about Patsy Cline....the best of the best!
Patsy can take a medium okay song and make it sound like heaven.
Wuw, it sure is startling to see Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash at such a tender age. Makes my 79 years apparent to me. JB
You're so right
Collins kids we’re and are Hot property, well ahead of their time.

My mom kinda sings like Patsy. Hearing Patsy sing makes me think of my mommy singing me to sleep when I was little. ❤️
Wow, that is a wish come true.🧸💙
Wish TV still had shows like this...
I don't think I've ever seen anyone quite like Patsy Cline. She was an amazing talent.
Patsy cline and Johnny cash in 1957 Perfect
I was in the 4th grade with Larry Collins. I never saw his sister, but he was a good kid. My parents tooks us to several of these shows. Great fun. My parents went to see one of the
shows with Johnny Cash, so I always look at the audience to see if I can find my deceased parents.
Cash was a good looking young man. He made some bad decisions, but then he turned it all around and had a wonderful impact on many people.
RIP Patsy Cline....What a friggin’ voice! One of the best.....
They're all very talented but Patsy Cline? She's on a whole other level. No one can sing like her. Probably the best vocalist in country, folk, rock, pop, soul, R&B, even opera. The way she puts soooo much feeling in her voice. Here and there a slight cry, slight yodel, slight pause, all perfectly timed. No one can duplicate that.
Absolutely true!
It’s hard to believe she is singing live here! It’s almost otherworldly
Perfect instinct for musical phrasing. I bet she never planned or knew what she'd do out there during a performance. Although she was obviously completely in control.
Amen
"...even opera..."
Uh, look, I love Patsy Cline, too, but the demands that opera places upon singers is absolutely unreal. Add to that the requirement for being in costume (sometimes extremely elaborate with period stays, corsets, etc.) and acting and being on the stage for hours.
Who is still watching this in 2019???
Those Collins kids were pretty good! They were rock n roll. I'm a little dissappointed Tex didn't sing on this show. But it was still pretty good, can't complain about Johnny and Patsy!
I'm still watching! Glad they shared it.
watching in December... this is music as it was and should be still in 2020 and forever, we can only wish and pray it comes back one day.
They sure were all great.
I don't think music from this era will ever come back, but it's so right to put some of it on your playlist.
@@MsLaurN I do agree!
Winchester Virginia. 9-8-32 the amazing Patsy Cline 3-5-63.
Be gone for nearly 60 years now and that lady can still bring a tear to ones eye. Instantly recognizable and never equaled her delivery and inflection and unique beauty. Well it leaves me awestruck.
@Sharon Cinna Me too!!
My brother and I drove from West Virginia to visit her grave. Her voice had a ringing quality that I've never heard in any white singer. Just lovely. Unique in the true meaning of unique.

Very eloquently stated. Ms. Cline nearly impossible to match or compare with.
Wow! All five forms of music on this show: Country, Western, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, and Gospel.
How this is real country. Sure wish some radio station would play these.
Wow !!! The talent of these people was real !! Not manufactured in some computer program !! They could sing !!
Patsy Cline, the absolute best country singer of all time.
Yes. She's ever on my mind.
packrat Buggs I agree but Johnny cash is right there with her
@Stephanie Wish we all could have heard her do that.
My guitars seem to agree with her voice better than others, especially my Gibsons"
I was around 13 at the time this aired, but here I am at 76 mesmerized by Patsy Cline and that fabulous voice.
Patsy, you are still so missed.
Her And Farron Young Came To A Night Club When I Was 21 SHE Was A GREAT PERSON !
Johnny Cash was 25 here....how adorable and way gifted!!
I can't even believe he is gone...one of the most talented, and handsome singers ever.My mom saw him perform in Milwaukee, Wi. when he still wore white...she was dressed all in black and he stepped on her finger, ( she had her hand on the stage), ...he soon after started wearing black... ;)
@@Rachelpsychobabe - That is a great story and memories that no one else has!! Thank you for sharing,
This what you call music.
RITA GOUGH -- *ABSOLUTELY correct!!* What they have today is mostly just noise!!
“Just a Closer Walk With Thee” was my Mom’s favorite.... that little lady could sing. !!!
She should have become a star!
The way she held the notes was wonderful. The whole show was great!
@Charles Taylor yes, some people seem to have a wonderful gift for singing from a young age, don't they? I know it can be taught, but having the natural ability is a great advantage.
It was a treat to see the video, I'm in Australia, and just loved it! 🙂
A beautiful song sang by a beautiful lady and a favorite to most all ladies with strong Christian faith

WHAT A TRAGIC LOSS ON MARCH 5 1963 PATSY CLINE WAS TAKEN FROM US SO EARLY I WENT TO THE CRASH SITE AND GOT CHILLS RIP
Right
Wow-what a lineup! Johnny Cash in his prime with one of his very best songs! and Patsy was King (sorry Queen!)
Wow ! What a dream line-up ! Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, The Collins Kids & Bobby Helms all in one show. The other performers were fantastic as well. A true treasure I hope it's never taken down !
A young handsome Johnny Cash. I had never seen Patsy Cline perform. It's easy to see why she was so popular. Patsy also comes across as a strong woman.
What a rare vid this is with Patsy Cline , a rarety of rareties.
It is a travesty that the Collins Kids are overlooked in the history of rock and roll. Larry Collins, as a kid, was a top-notch guitarist.
what happened to him?
@@jsigur157 He died they were huge stars back when actually bigger than Johnny Cash....please don't start on me I LOVED JC...
Larry is still alive. 75 years old. His sister Laurie died in 2018 after complications from a fall in her home. Look up “My window faces south” with George Morgan. You will see them both in their 20’s as well as a young Glenn Campbell !
I never heard him play till I saw this. He was very talented, and could rock that double neck!
Jimmy Page had nothin' on him! :D
*" Patsy Cline"* has ALWAYS been & ALWAYS will be my *favorite* singer EVER!!!
I think you're *crazy*...for Patsy Cline, that is. ;)
I absolutely ADORE her and her voice!! Btw, I listen to mostly Rock n Roll/ Hip Hop. RIP Patsy Cline.....
Mine To All Ways And For Ever.....
She almost had talent which could not be measured.
I met her once, in 1959 or '60 when she came to a HFD Benefit program .. . I met so very Many there over the Years from Many Genres .. .
Wow that awesome music
I didn't realize how much John Ritter favored his dad until watching this video.
I like the way Ms. Patsy strolls nonchalantly to and from the mike in that Dale Evans cowboy outfit !
Johnny Cash with my baby Larry love to hear him say he's gone now now I can't help but listen to every one of his oh how I love
Patsy Cline was the queen of the lovelorn blues. What a voice ,She wrote so many songs in such a short lifetime.RIP. She is an icon, like Marilyn Monroe now.
Marilyn Monroe is a disgrace to the female sex! Pasty Cline, on the other hand, every inch the real Queen.
Idk if she wrote her songs? That wouldn't at all take away from how amazing she was, I'm just curious I guess, cuz I wasn't aware she actually wrote any of her songs?
@@rebeccafrankenstein5808 she didn’t
They sure don't make em like that any more. I loved it!
Terrell Bird --*"SO TRUE!!"*
THIS is country and western music!
Johnny cash looking good & young in this old video.
We were all kids at one point, and this proves that. What a variety show Tex puts on for incredible young talent! Priceless history, actually.
Tex Ritter was John Ritter's father. John starred on Three's Company
Now this is good *down home country music* that will NEVER EVER die!!
I don't remember this show, but, that kid was outrageous... I hope he went on to BIGGER things for his talent. Johnny Cash, what can I say(?). Still !! 3:)

I was. Ten when this was. Made love them then. Love too here those songs. Now bless those who come and gone
Loved Patsy singing 'I've loved and lost again' But just watch the 'hand clapping' of the backing 'singers' Hilarious!
Again i have to thank You Tube for preserving the Country classics 5 stars!

@@leslieisaacs3080 A bridge too far, lets just keep it country.
Patsy Cline was considered to be the best over all singer in country music, as far as pure skill and technique is concerned, and that is still true to this day. Not saying she is everyone's favorite, everyone has their own favorite songs. I am just saying what many music teachers and musicians have said, about her skill level and technique.
Michael Craig Actually she is my favorite female country singer of all time as well as being all the things you mention.
110% the best *singer* in the world.
She is my favorite not for her singing but for here popularity still among history buffs in the Winchester Va area
Patsy Cline and I tell you what I go to the lady and borrow say hey man I got Patsy Cline records at the house and she's come right on over and we have a good old time I'll just let you know the music of Patsy Cline really brought the girls back to my place I was always always love Patsy Cline just to let you know that and this is 25-30 years ago and I'm 67 now and I ain't got no records of Patsy Cline but I'm sure as heck trying
She sure was special. She sings with that little tear in her voice! God Bless her.
Patsy stole the show! Everybody was swaying with her!

Imagine so much talent in the same place and time!
And mind: no electronic magic to help them thru their performance, to cover up their weak spots. They seemingly had none!
A good set of observations.
We all know that Patsy gave the best performance. As she walked on, the whole entire place got quiet. A Queen of country.
But it almost made me cry knowing how she would die just a few years later.

I think the guy who sang it, Bobby Helms, sounded a little bit like Hank.
I agree! Early 50’s Country/Rockabilly/Rock n’ Roll/Surf Rock/Blues *all* overlapped.
Just imagine if we didn’t try to kill off the entire generation in Vietnam, we’d probably have had another Hank Sr., Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Faron Young, Duane Eddy, or Dick Dale!
I was not alive, but.. music from the Pre-British Invasion era is highly underrated!!
I guess I will have to search Lorrie Collins, I don’t think I have ever heard her before.
It's just Rhythm and Blues with hats.
i have everything hank recorded
Heard Tex-Ritter had red hair his son was in.Jacksonville once upon time everybody was talking about it excited they were. l nevèr knew about these things until now and after I grew up much later. This is a treat for me.
Larry Collins on Double Neck was an incredibly talented kid! Ranch Party was an awesome show featuring many great guests of the time. We had a few 16mm films when I was a boy. And of course, Tex Ritter.
+Joseph Kressley Don't forget Johnny Bond, Fiddlin' Kate, Skeets McDonald, and the king of the strings (Larry Collin's instructor) Joe Maphis. Les "Carrot Top" Anderson and Sons of the Pioneers were always great too. This whole show featured amazing performers...though I wasn't too wild on the Hoosier Hotshots when they showed up.
+Brett “SonicBlu” Blumfield Couldn't agree more! Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two guest starred as well.
I thought that was Johnny Bond singing at the beginning. Am I correct?
Absolutely...what a talent!
Why wasn't Larry more main stream popular?? IHe seems to have Elvis calibar charisma and talent!
This is giving me so much life right now! Oooh! Let's have a party! ♫
What a line up. Great stuff. Thanks for saving this treasure.
I was 14 when this was on
@@jwith100 I was 4,so I guess that makes you 10 years older than me! I was brought up on this music, but I can't remember seeing any of his shows, sadly.
I like the way the other performers look on in admiration as Patsy sings
