I always loved Horton I was always interested in his death I remember reading he knew he was going to die the night he did but he left where he had just performed anyway
That is the Red Folly show . Johnny Horton was married to Hank Williams Sr. Wife. Handsome men back then..nothing like listening to the old music.thanks for the travel back in time when things were a lot simpler.
Now this is real music I like this kind of music and I love the classics and I even the classics like the Gemini NASA program the 1960s was a magical time and I love the classics yep that's a nice coat he is wearing !! Keep up the good work on the classics I love Jonny Horton !!
I have been listening to Johnny Horton singing these kinda of songs for over 50 years and there is nobody better to sing them know don't get me wrong I like the old songs from Bill Anderson and Johnny cash and alot of the other singers there is no other music to compare the old songs to but Johnny Horton will always be the best
And its not only that he sings his own songs better than anyone else, but imo his cover of Hank and Joe and Me is just delivered much better and is more powerful than when Cash sang it
Can't tell a story in a song other then Johnny Horton..Saids it just like it is..sensational singer and guitar player..rhythem and melody is fantastis..a beautiful person in life
I SURE MISS ALL HIS LOVING SONGS SUCH A VERY GOOD VOICES TO SINGS THOSE BEAUTIFUL GREATEST SONGS.WHAT A LEGENDARY LEGACY HE LEFT TO CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO HIS SONGS.I DO LOVE ALL HIS SONGS .
I'm biased when it comes to this song, since I was born and raised in Alaska. Still, I think it was one of the best songs ever written and nobody could ever sing it better than Johnny Horton.
My Dad drove us over the Alcan Hiway in 1961 to Anchorage. It was a tough trip because it was a dirt road back then. I was 9 and a little afraid of what I envisioned Alaska to be. Turns out it was a great experience except maybe the 1964 earthquake....
We moved because my husband got a great job offer in Texas. Alaska is a completely different world. It’s beautiful, but depending where you live, will take some time getting used to. We lived on the Arctic Tundra, it was a completely different way of life than most people are used to.
I have always loved this song for a long time my uncle leant it to me and he was a great man I loved him and I know that he loved me so as well and I will never forget him and he name will live on and he did the best that he could and he was a drinker and them kind loved to drank and I love him so
He had a premonition that he was going to die so believable that he gifted his Martin Guitar to another country singer and then it happened at a crossroads in the fog.

It happened on a bridge and Horton & Co., could not avoid the collision as the bridge was so narrow. Jeeez, after being in touch with a fortune teller (or several ones) he wouldn't take an aircraft...and died in this freaky accident. Talk about being unlucky. He was only 35. RIP
I’m pretty sure the reason I moved to Alaska 25 years ago is because of listening to Johnny when I was a child. I lived in Fairbanks/ North Pole for 20 years now I live in a small town called Delta Junction, Alaska. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I love Alaska, just need the liberals to leave it alone!!!!!
The "liberals" comment was a sure sign that you are brainwashed from the "traditional" Americans who moved there over a century ago, and were not part of the general US consensus. If their ancestors could hear or see you saying such things these days, they would disown you and call you a radical. Just saying.
Just want to reiterate something... I looked at your YT page, and everything you have on there that you're following are white, blonde, and light brown-haired Americans who do Homesteading and whatnot. Why do you only watch and save white people to your video playlist? (I'm one of the whitest guys I know, yet I can't stand similar people using it as an all-inclusive club like all of you Trumpers do.) Go right ahead and vote for a rapist and advocate for Project 2025.

We got stopped at the border at Stewart and the border guard said he had never pulled a pickup over that had that much booze in it. He asked were we were headed we said Hyder to get some more booze
I was born in the late 60's growing up in the 70's & my dad would always sing a line *_'I pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom'_* . I had no idea what it was from and have not heard him say that line in close to 40 years. He passed almost 20 years ago. That line still goes through my head, so today I looked it up and arrived at this song. Now it all makes sense! I felt my dad's spirit with me just now as I listened to this song
Theres a Red Dog Saloon in Oklahoma City where I live. I used to work in the oilfields with my best buddy Joey. He dated a girl who worked in the Red Dog, we sure raised a bunch of hell together!!! What memories......wherever you guys are at, i miss you!!!
Poor Johnny always had a fear of being hit by a drunk driver. It was his worst fear. It's terrible that it actually came true. He was hit and killed by one
I went to alaska after highschool. I served i the 813 th aritic combat engineers. 87 to 91. I stayed in alaska to 2002. It was the best time of my life. My wifes wedding ring is made from gold i panned from the creeks. I love alaska best place on earth.
Johnny was a terrific singer and his ballads are haunting. This song tells a story much like El Paso by Marty Robbins. I think I have just about all of Johnny Horton's music. He left us too soon, he was one of a kind. Johnny Reb and Comanche the brave horse were storytelling at it's best. Now, political fanatics have taken down statues and banned books about the Confederate side of the Civil War. What's next?
When I was a young boy, my grandparents took me on a vacation to Alaska. This song had just made it to the music charts. While visiting Alaska the song was being played in the diners. Every time I hear this song I think of this vacation and my grandparents. ❤
If Johnny Horton is not in the Country Music Hall of Fame it is Criminal pure Country Gold wooooooo ❤❤❤Johnny From Alabama
A country music legend,Johnny Horton..phenomenal..a great singer and guitar player..great rhythem and melody
I don't know where you found this video but thank you.
Johnny Horton was my dad's best friend and they ran around together and played music along the way , they went to Nashville this brings back memories
That’s awesome
I always loved Horton I was always interested in his death I remember reading he knew he was going to die the night he did but he left where he had just performed anyway
Lucky dad, Lord blessed you Alley.
Right……….
No way
Johnny Horton a great singer.My Dad John Parsons, would play this when I was a kid in the 70s.My dad John Parsons passed away in 2002, was 66.💐
May your Dad rest in peace. I lost mine in 2008.
One of my old time favourite song greetings from Ireland
That is the Red Folly show . Johnny Horton was married to Hank Williams Sr. Wife. Handsome men back then..nothing like listening to the old music.thanks for the travel back in time when things were a lot simpler.
Wow. First time I hear Johnny Horton sing . Real country🎸🎼.
Love your voice and singing. Beautiful
I think it has to go without saying that this is the GREATEST BALLAD EVER WRITTEN.
I really loved his song "North to Alaska". And don't forget Sink the Bismarck. He was the master story teller.
My dad's school teacher was Jimmy Driftwood and he wrote many songs for Johnny Horton who sang them wonderfully ❤
That is awesome! Pardon my silly question, but what the hell did "Jimmy Driftwood" teach in school? Music?? Lol
Now this is real music I like this kind of music and I love the classics and I even the classics like the Gemini NASA program the 1960s was a magical time and I love the classics yep that's a nice coat he is wearing !! Keep up the good work on the classics I love Jonny Horton !!
I love every song Johny Horton sings No one better than Johny Horton .
If Horton had played rock'nroll, he'd be Elvis. What a voice. What a performer!
He was killed by a drunk driver at an early age. Not enough time to make him a number one star. I have loved him since the 50’s.
Better than Elvis dude
Love this song and all of his music. Lost him too young!
Yes, way to young!
Just listening to this song you could feel the cold snow.
My brother just left The Red Dog Saloon!! Had to listen to this!!!
I have been listening to Johnny Horton singing these kinda of songs for over 50 years and there is nobody better to sing them know don't get me wrong I like the old songs from Bill Anderson and Johnny cash and alot of the other singers there is no other music to compare the old songs to but Johnny Horton will always be the best

ME2
Just amazing love Johnny Horton gone too soon

Straight up GANGSTA!
I love this song most in the summer, when i hate the 90 degree heat working outside. Reminds me that sweet winter will come again.
Thanks for the original; GOD bless 😇
This is priceless! Thank you so much for posting!!

Johnny Horton was the Man way underrated gone too soon
The best for sure. I hope he was saved when he left us.

@@bluewaters3100 may God bless you guys your true Warriors
Well out there in Alaska you need somebody to climb in bed with somebody to keep warm
you can tell how confident he is by his face. i wish i had that much confidence
showing to my kids🎉🎉 2024
God bless him he was so great and his life is so short
I love JohnnyHorton too much
I had North to Alaska when I was a kid I listen to it so much I out
That coat makes him look real big the polar bear🐻❄️
It was sad to hear when his plane wrecks
I was trying to say I wore out his album playing it so much
Sometimes I miss living in Alaska.
Did you move away? Honestly, I'm thinking about moving to Alaska lol
We moved because my husband got a great job offer in Texas. Alaska is a completely different world. It’s beautiful, but depending where you live, will take some time getting used to. We lived on the Arctic Tundra, it was a completely different way of life than most people are used to.
Great voice, music and words fab.thanks.
Yes, I know Amore! ❤❤❤
My youngest daughter lives in Fairbanks. She tells me The Ted Dog Saloon moved to Anchorage. 😮😮😮
This is my type of music,country music.
Excellent!
Good for the soul.
Johnny Horton is very handsome very handsome man he look like one of those men among men
True beauty
He and the Big Bopper made some of the first music videos. For instance, this is video tape, not a kinescope.
2022 and every year after! I'm 33 so I'll be for along time!!!!
I have always loved this song for a long time my uncle leant it to me and he was a great man I loved him and I know that he loved me so as well and I will never forget him and he name will live on and he did the best that he could and he was a drinker and them kind loved to drank and I love him so
Merry Christmas 2021!
A beautiful song, in the language of the Czech republik, ( music group Mustangs )." Until spring in Alaska visit us." I"ll put champagne in the cabin.
Look at that FIT
The movie, North To Alaska was a good movie, also a great song.
My impression of him is Johnny Horton's A man among men
Looks like the kind of guy that all the girls would like

Never forgotten
Rumble shake and honky Tonka is rock n roll
Dang.. Still so good after all rhis rime.
He had a premonition that he was going to die so believable that he gifted his Martin Guitar to another country singer and then it happened at a crossroads in the fog.

Killed by a drunk driver 1960 in texas
Tony Mazzola I believe he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt
He said that how it would happen
Sad ending
It happened on a bridge and Horton & Co., could not avoid the collision as the bridge was so narrow. Jeeez, after being in touch with a fortune teller (or several ones) he wouldn't take an aircraft...and died in this freaky accident. Talk about being unlucky. He was only 35. RIP
@@skinflutey when you see how the carcasse of the car looks... The seatbelt wouldn’t saved him... sadly :/
👏👏👏👏
It's too bad music like this isn't made anymore.
i love this man!
Classic sadly this music has faded eh.

We got stopped at the border at Stewart and the border guard said he had never pulled a pickup over that had that much booze in it. He asked were we were headed we said Hyder to get some more booze
I miss songs that tell stories
Now you can’t even understand them rap is dumb
Exactly!
You should Listen to Ian Noe ❤
I do to that's when country music stood for something now this crap they call country is nothing but hip hop bullshit
He had a great voice

Same here, I was born in 72 my father passed 40 years ago and I've never forgotten this song.
Well that's because there's a common connection
Now this is real music! I love this man

Love the guitar riff between lines, best version
Imagine how warm that Jacket is
Thanks for posting this. Any info on where/when this was broadcast?
mwms71 It was on The Ozark Jubille if you haven’t found it yet
I think
Still here for you Johnny !
Can’t beat the story & the irony & also the Banjo intro. 😀
Horton, I just say Horton. What a voice.
Ikrrr
Poor Johnny always had a fear of being hit by a drunk driver. It was his worst fear. It's terrible that it actually came true. He was hit and killed by one
he was a advocate against alcohol as well
👍👍 I love it so great 👍👍
This is awesome
Love this my mom had two albums just alike. I would sing every song on them.
The best Johnny Horton song

All I said was Johnny Horton was a handsome man
And if you didn't like him it was probably because you were jealous
Best of all its live
