It was about 65 years ago for me. Had a 45 record of this I played constantly.
I heard this song back when I was just a young kid. Vaughn Monroe had the big hit. I have learned to play it since and it is my son's and I's song of choice to play when we get together. I'm 83, and curious why you have heard it since. It has been rerecorded many times and I guess many folks never listen to music at all. Sad. A great song!
I've heard this version a few times. And yes, Stan was certainly the writer - he wrote the song on his 34th birthday, June 5, 1948. At the time he wrote it, he was a Death Valley park ranger. He would sing the song to visitors that summer as entertainment. Those hearing it suggested that he record it, and on a vacation in late August that year, he did just that. As he was still a ranger, rather than releasing it on his own, he used the recording as a demo for known artists who may be interested in recording it. Burl Ives, Vaughn Monroe, Bing Crosby & Peggy Lee all would release their versions, with Vaughn's prevailing.
Stan's single, however, wasn't released until May 1949, while Vaughn Monroe's version was dominating the charts. The Mercury record's serial number of 5320 would indicate that. What is not certain is if this single was from the demo he recorded nine months earlier. As well as if the "Death Valley Rangers" were his actual group, or a name applied to a studio session group either added into the demo or into a newer recording to make it a viable single.
After receiving a handsome royalty check in the summer of 1949 from the 1.8 million copies sold of Vaughn's version by then, Stan was able to leave his ranger job and focus on a music career, in which he would write and record more songs. Sadly, just 14 years later in December 1963, he would pass away of cancer at age 49. But what a treasure of a song that he left us!
Thank you for sharing that information. This song is iconic & I hope that Stan Jones’ original version finds a place in the heart of every listener.
I love this original version by Stan Jones the best. I just heard him now for the 1st time ever. What an amazing song: I never get tired of hearing it, and it is Wonderful to hear the original. Such a gifted songwriter.
The first time I heard it was on the Radio about 1950, the singer was Vaughn Monroe, who had a very distinctive voice. Many years later I loved Johnny Cash's version and that of Willy Nelson. I think even Roy Clark, bonafide guitar genius, sang and played it on television, maybe on HEEHAW?
Liked the visuals from the train as well, perfect accompaniment to the song.....the passing scenery reminds me of how the Colorado mountains must have looked in the early.days of trains. Cowboy country train ride through the piney woods of Routt County, CO
I've heard this through all my life, sixty five years, first time I've heard it in the original. Can't be beat by my count, thanks!
I got you beat by ten more years and I remember this original !!
still get the excitement of the 1949 BURL IVES recording
GREAT 🎶!!!
I think this is the best version of this song
I was 5 years old when this song came out. It has remained one of my favorites. (I'm 80 now)
As much as I love Johnny, I've always preferred this version. that echo is haunting, almost ethereal. he sings about ghost riders, yet he himself sounds like a ghost.
I love it.
First time I've heard the original. What a beautiful voice.
Stan's original version is very haunting with that echoing reverb.
A Great pity than Stan Jones was not admitted into the 'Hall of Fame' whilst he knew of it , a realky great shame . Thanks for posting this video
An old cowboy went riding out
One dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested
As he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd
Of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire
And their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny
And their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him
As they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard
And he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd
But he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever
On that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on, hear their cry
As the riders loped on by him
He heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul
From hell a-riding on our range
Then, cowboy, change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
timeless !!!
I play and sing this song at a care home , the residents love it , first time I've heard the original , beautiful track . 1948, I'm shocked , love this song it's a classic .
Thank you. If you have never ever heard Don Edwards, Cowboy Singer, please go and listen to him. Wonderful! Don passed away in October 2022 age of 86.
I had to look him up to be sure I remembered him correctly. TH-cam copyright flags all my ‘reimagined’ music videos, so they are fun to make, but fraught with legal entanglements. I like some of Don Edwards’ music, so he is on the ‘To Do’ list.
You should listen to "Northwind" too
It is a close call wich is better.
Thanks, I never heard of him but you are right. He reminds me of Merle Haggard.
This is definitely one case where nobody can top the original classic. The simple instrumentation and haunting echo really tells the story well. A lot of artists covered this song shortly thereafter and through the years, but it just doesn't have the same feel as Stan Jones original. Frankie Laine recorded this song in 1963 that's really good, but it can't compare to the Jones' version.
I agree. I love this version, but my personal next favorites in line were the Burl Ives & Johnny Cash covers. In that order.
I grew up on the Marty Robbins’ version. Still prefer that one and the version by The Outlaws.
@@sntstafford It really did not take much to be better than this original especially as the recording technology advanced, too bad the singing didn't !!
i think i'd have to go with this one and the Fankie Lane version.
I like the echo
I have loved this song for many many years but only just hearing this original version now. Its truly incredible. I do love Cash's rendition but this is so mournful and expressive
I agree this is the best version
Such a dark, spooky song combined with the wildness of the West. Really perfection.
So many versions I have heard, but so far this is best.
Stan's is the best he's the original many have recorded this classic but Stan just takes back as though you where out there what a legend from a Teddy Boy 🎶🎼📻 who's into Rock n Roll 1950s music and likes the old classic country and western songs from the 40s50s and early 60s Stan what a legend total respect 👏🙏
The creator of this great song was phenomenal singer and this is the best version
Vaughan Monroe, Gene Autry, Roy Rodgers, Bing Crosby and many others have sang this song all over the world. I think this is the best. I've always thought that nobody could match the original, and here I think my thoughts are correct.
Goose bumps!
When I was very young -- maybe 4 yrs old -- my Dad bought Mom a radio/phonograph RCA console. She joined a mail-order record club. This 78rpm record was among those she kept. I am on the downhill side of 71 and I still have it and a handful of those old78s. The console does not operate but is a marvelous convention pc.
I meant to say " conversation" piece. Durned word spell is a pain sometimes.
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
A ploughin' through the ragged skies
And up a cloudy draw.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
The ghost herd in the sky.
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves was made of steel,
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
For he saw the riders comin' hard
And he heard their mournful cry.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.
Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred and shirts all soaked
With sweat,
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
On horses snortin' fire
As they ride on, hear their cry.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name,
"If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range,
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
A-try'ng to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies."
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
The ghost herd in the sky.
Ghost riders in the sky.
Thanks !!
Thanks for sharing wonderful lyrics.
Thanks. We all needed that.
Wonderful!
Y así nace una leyenda, un clásico que hoy por hoy no deja de sonar ni de gustar aun a las nuevas generaciones, Gracias Stan por tan gran aporte a la música country.
A real timeless classic ! Love this song in every version !!! Thanks from Italy 🇮🇹🇺🇲
Never heard it before but this should have been the million seller hit.
well known as well in europe
There was no such thing as million dollar sellers back then, stuff was cheap before inflation 10 cents for a record !! 1
There are many..many.. versions of this that are excellent... but this one stands on its own.
Love most versions including Dean Martins but this one has a reverence
Humm listening to this again , i now notice that 'far distant' sound effect , really great , fits into the 'visual 'on this song /singer ; really really great Thank you : Yep and WoW this shure is a great version sung with Feeling , timing , plus a great Instrument accompanyment ; Many thanks Mike
One of the best renditions of this song around. Well done.
I was listening to Marty robins and Jonny cash’s version and searched to see who was first and didn’t expect this this is amazing
WOW very very nice.
The original Version is fantastic. 👍.
Greetings from Mannheim Germany 💪
One of the best versions I've ever heard, thanks.
Cannot beat the original
Herd Mueller. I agree. It’s the first time I’ve heard this version. It’s just got something about it others haven’t got.
Great atmospheric song adopted by Aston Villa football supporters who have been singing it at games for many years.
Never heard the original. Thank you very much for the opportunity to hear it.
Wonderful (and fascinating!) to hear the original version of this classic song for the first time! Still very popular today and a song we sing every week for the customers at our restaurant here in Thailand. Always gets the crowd singing along at the top of their voices. Fantastic!! 🙂
WOW!!! Talent never ages❤️
Cripes what a great vershion of this song ; guess its the original version , the use of the Echo FX gives great ambience and great width , Stan Jones really really is the very best Thanks
Probably done in a large tiled restroom.
@@woodhonky3890 cripes yes you are most probably right ; In them early days guess they had to improvise using what ws available , with creative Mics
Joe Meek - the English Producer/Composer - set up his studio in his apartment. Rival producers were fascinated by the sound of the drums on one of his band’s (The Honeycombs) records. They drove themselves nuts trying to reproduce the sound & only years later was the secret revealed. Joe Meek was kicking his bathtub in time with the bass drum.
To my shame I must admit that it's the first time I hear this original version...and it's really good! Simple with no fancy instrumentation and a clear voice. Still...Johnny Cash...
Magical spiritual
Aqui no Brasil amamos Stan Jones👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛
The Ghost Herd in the Sky . This is the one . ❤ sound of his vocals.
I can lesson to this a thousand times and it get me in the stomak. Not very many songs do that.
best thanks
Such a great original version!! I've only been familiar with Cash and The Outlaws versions. I did an acoustic video of this last month on the train tracks in Old Ellicott City (the 1st train station ever built in America) thank you for posting this!!
This is great!
Parabéns e obrigado pela postagem. Um hino para quem gosta desta musica
Que beleza, lindo.
Ecco. Queste canzoni ,forse un po' dimenticate hanno il potere di farti veramente sognare . È molto difficile apprezzare altro genere di musica .
Не знаю,как у вас ,а я когда в первый раз услышала эту песню - у меня до сих пор бесконечное наслаждение от этой мелодии.
Спасибо-мир,дружба,жвачка и бесконечно хорошее настроение !
My folks had this on a 78 done by Vaughn Monroe in 49, I believe. Thanx for posting this.
SVP MERCI 🤙c’est bon ça 🌹j’oublierai pas 🐝
75 years! This song gets better with age.
Thanks for that.
Ahhh memories !!!!!
First time I have heard the original it’s superb
Love it ♠️
The way they done it gives me chill bumps
brilliant
Stan Jones is the songwriter.
Lindo bravo e de arrepiar
inmortal !!!!!
Los pelos de punta cada vez que la oigo..!!!
My favorite song
When I was a young boy in the 50s, I liked the Kay Starr version.
When I was a young teenager, my mum bought me an acoustic guitar and this was the first piece of sheet music I bought
The first time i heard this song it was this version. (Around 1985)
Never again heard it untill today.
Only Marty Robbins comes close.
Now I know from where Elvis got his version from .
He sang it quick like the original.
nice song
この歌を聞くと
凄く元気が出る
Show.....👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was my favorite song when I was a kid back in the 1940's
This was my favorite song when I was a kid back in the 1960's
Fun fact No 76: A lot of people say this is 'Ghost Riders In The Sky' whereas it is just "Riders In the Sky"
Um clássico mundial
Pois é.
HOJE COM ESSA ALTA TECNOLOGIA DE GRAVAÇÃO EM PENSAR DRIVE E EXCELENTE SERVIÇO DE GRAVAÇÃO VIA INTERNET SOMENTE MÚSICAS SELECIONADAS DEPOIS OUVI LAS E ÓBVIO ANALISAR CONFIRMAR CONFERIR ENTENDER OBSERVE
Yes
I bet when he wrote and sung this song that it wouldn’t be sung by so many people ,quality lasts haven’t heard a bad version yet, Blondie aka Deborah Harry even sings it, only woman I’ve heard so far ,though could be more out there
Great production. The most ghostly version is by Burl Ives, the second time this song was recorded.
This song was played on AM radio in the early '60s
Questa canzone la cantavamo da bambini
LIKE SEMPRE GARANTIDO
Before my time but I love it. No fancy techo, just the real deal.
'Before my time' is such a nonsensical comment. Many people enjoy the music of Mozart, Beethoven, etc, who were before anyone's time of anyone alive today. Who cares when it originated? Music should be enjoyed for its own sake, and when it was recorded shouldn't even be a consideration.
Love this song. Really like the Marty Robbins version too.
I like a lot of what Marty Robbins did but he didn't have the deep baritone to pull this song off.
Vaqueiro do Arixzona desordeiros e beberrão.....
Vivia em seu cavalo pelas noites do sertão.....o céu porém a noite ficou rubra num clarão...
E viu passar num fogareu....
Um rebanho no céu....
E o que eu me lembro da versão muito antiga cantada no Brasil!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou god
***FREEDOM IS"NT FREE LET'S SAVE BURMA***
****I LOVE THIS"S SONG****
THANKS !
Өте керемет 👍
Wow! I thought that Waughan Monroe and Burly Ives were the first ones but I was wrong. This is very good!! But I would like to hear the Real original one..
This is the original version of the song - sung my the man who wrote it.
@@reflexionmedia Allright. Great song!
I remember hearing this as a kid but never knew who performed it. I knew it wasn’t Frankie Laine though. I prefer Stan Jones
I always thought the Vaughan Monroe version was the best. But that's probably because I heard it first as a child. This original is very good.
love it... a 60 YO German Youngster....
This song just oozes cowboy doesn't it? Great tune and covered by everyone so Stan must have done something right....right?
Nota 10
As an aside, the attractive landscape interests me. Here in the UK I have never seen anything like it. It is an area of no public transport, at a guess, and the nearest supermarket is miles away. Car-ownership is mandatory.
I shot the video in the Sierra National Forest. Another viewer (local to the area) listed all the places I passed with my camera.
It sounds great in stereo. Was it re-channeled electronically?
I carefully remixed it to eliminate crackles & create the kind of stereo that folks with headphones would enjoy. It took several attempts because I didn’t want to either end up with a ‘wall of sound’ vibe or something that lost the beautiful simplicity of the original 45.
It took Frankie Laine to make a million seller of it
I usually Ike the original songs more than covers. For the time this was no doubt a fantastic song, but I’ve heard some recent version that are much better. One just found on TH-cam is by Carson McKee. Look it up you won’t be disappointed.
By 'better' what do you actually mean? Music is subjective, so what you think is the best will not hold for others. What you, I, or anyone else thinks of as 'better', 'the best', can only ever be a personal opinion of an individual, not an irrefutable truth written in stone for everyone to believe.
👍✌️♥️🌹
He had a great voice What happened to him?

What shall we say about Jhonny cash version ?
Quien la sigue escuchando actualmente seré de los pocos jóvenes que la siguen escuchando actualmente eso que tengo 17 años saludos desde México donde quiera que se encuentran canción de mi infancia en la película Ghost Rider
