Merle Haggard, no one and absolutely NO ONE , is any more talented than this superstar.This is what Country Music is, too bad these performers of today think they are “country singers.Merle will always be the greatest of the greatest!
Unfortunately Judy MERLE Haggard who wrote @ sang this song .Passed away in 2016 with pneumonia. He was my favourite American country @ western super star.Him @ his beautiful @ great singer wife Bonnie Haggard. They were brilliant together. I live in SCOTLAND but lrish through AND through @ very proud of my roots Judy. I love all country AND Western singing. Now I adore Vince Gill @ his singing partner only Patty Loveless. Vince is married to Amy Grant Americas best lady Christian singer .Amy is FANTASTIC and beautiful also .They make a GORGEOUS couple together. KINDEST REGARDS ELIZABETH SCOTLAND xx 😘😘
@@ELIZABETHHUGHES-eh9gw actually, he passed away in 2016; definitely was an amazing singer and songwriter. The very best version of "Holding Things Together" I've ever heard.
I started listening to Merle in the early 70's after Okie from Muskogee. Still love listening to him. He wrote nearly every song he sang back then. And, then there's that voice. We will never see a country talent like him again!
Oh my, I love this voice more every time I hear him sing; he couldn't possibly get any better. And to think his sons have his same wonderful voice!👾💯💓💓💕💕
Merle is One of the Best All time country writers and then make you cry when he sings his sad songs. Very few have every done that. He's now singing for the LORD and im sure HE enjoys it.
A beautiful song. I can relate to this song in so many ways. Starting with my mother, then my husband passing in 99. Love merle. All of his songs hit home.ty merle
@@irenescheffer-rorek3119 I really don't know what you mean by that ( Helen Terry V ) but, if you think I'm running Merle down, then your out of line. I love his singing and song writing. One of the best next to Ricky Van Sheltin, Merle is my next favorite, real country singer and writer.
@bryantbenson299 I listen to Merle Haggards CD's a lot and listen to him on You Tube, also. I seen Merle, years ago ( twice) at The Little Nashville Opry, in Nashville, Indiana.
@bryantbenson299 No, I have never been to California . My kids always wanted to vacation in Tennessee. The Smokey Mtns. My boys loved the wild life there.
@bryantbenson299Helen Terry here. . I'm ok, Mr. Benson but I have a disabled husband that I take care of 24 hrs a day and it keeps me very busy. He loves Merle Haggard too. Hope you had a good day.
Merle's songs hit home...all too often, and just great music!!! "lookin for a place to fall apart" and goin where the lonely go...some of my favorites...wow RIP merle
So many great present and past country artists, but Merle is my very favourite. He set a different pace in country music, and I listen to him every day.
One of the best male country voices in the business. So clear, distinct, and Traditional Country and a privilege to put the steel to. We all miss the man. He was Country to the end.
@@rogerrambo6436... "Was"...R.I.P., Sadly. George Strait, Is... and in So many more ways, to. No drugs, a devout family man, faithful to his high school sweetheart & wife, Norma, Off & On the road..., Never even kissed another woman on the lips and even refused to star in the movie basically about himself (Pure Country-1992) if they didn't change the script where he was suppose to kiss his female road manager ("Lula" in the movie), no drama, no "issue's".... a much needed, real life role model for the younger... and older generations, and unquestioningly faithful to traditional Country music.
Really, all other country artists are irrelevant. Merle was the greatest of all time. From writing, to musicianship, to singing. He took all of his predecessors and influences art and perfected it.
ALWAYS brings the tears, reminding me of things I did to try to ease my daughter through a childhood ruined by her mentally ill, alcoholic mother, who was protected by law enforcement and crooked family court judges. Still awaiting MY JUSTICE, twenty years later. Merle understood and I love him for it.
In that day Merle was the cream of the crop. He had the best voice in music. He did impersonations. On his Fighting Side of Me record. I saw him do that concert in Roanoke Va. He was so talented. When you can sing like Marty Robbins, Hank Snow, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash and sound like them all, that's incredible.
An amazing man with the most unique voice for country and western singing. I absolutely adored the late great Merle Haggard. He shall always be my no 1 with Bonnie Haggard. His late wife .May they both RIP together always. KINDEST REGARDS ELIZABETH PERTH SCOTLAND xxxxxxx ❤❤❤

Hindi naman ako taga Cordillera, narining ko kasi ang tribute song niya kay Elvis na From Graceland to the Promised Land, from then on nagustuhan ko na ang style at boses niya sa pagkanta ng country music.

Merle Haggard is beyond “the greatest of the greatest” - he is forever underrated, because no amount of praise or accolades would ever be sufficient …
I agree! I grew up with Merle's music from my dads records. He just turned 78 and we sing them together all the time.
You are so right with your comments regarding Merle and Bonnie
I absolutely agree with you.
2023 still listening to real country 💕
This is the best I have ever heard any one sing this song its beautiful thank you for the enjoyment you give us
😢reminds me of old times ❤
I totally agree Doyle.(so relaxing).Only MERLE @ Bonnie singing that song makes you feel real inside. REGARDS ELIZABETH SCOTLAND 😘😘🙏🙏
