My Mom and Dad were huge Ray Price fans and on Saturday mornings would occasionally call in a song request to a local radio station and dance while it played...Sometimes if I blink real fast thru the tears I can still see them dancing...
I love this song and this is real country music..when radio starts playing music like this again I'll turn it on..this new music is pure garbage and shouldn't be called country
Here's another gem that never made it to disc. Just when the last Ray Price tune finishes playing and you think that you've finally found your favorite, along comes another to tug at your heart and whisper softly to your soul...'What about me!' Ray has always been just that good with his heartfelt delivery showing a dedicated respect for the emotions the songwriter wants to project with his lyrics. You're still number one with me Raymundo. RIP
I have listen to this song 5 times today because I had never heard Ray sing it before and by darn this may be the greatest song he ever sang. I LOVE THIS SONG and THE WORDS. GREAT RAY
This particular cut, being a previously UNISSSUED cut tells you something. That Ray left more top-shelf material behind in the studio than today's alleged country music hot-shots jam into heavily-produced and pushed albums. What a legacy of greatness Ray Price left behind. RIP brother.
I remeber pullin into Shroeder hall not far from Runge, Tx. one Saturday night and there were maybe 500 people there. I walked up to the door and asked the lady who was playin and she said well we werent scheduled to have a dance, but Ray Price drove by and saw the dance hall and volunteered. 5 bucks and I was in,lol
I love this song and am currently learning it. Thank God for ray. And thank God for my father who use to sing his and faron Youngs songs as well as teaching them to me.
Ray Price was so good. One of the very great voices. Rock isn't country. Ray Price was country. Jim Reeves, Faron Young, George Jones..... These men were country.
Surely someone - anyone from NASHVILLE might get motivated and look through all the unissued cuts and make a brand new unissued CD. This is perfect - and should be on the jukeboxes today for us baby boomers to listen and dance to. Fantastic music, I can close my eyes and feel him on the stage singing. This was when Country Music was at its best. Can't find this today. My Dad would love this.
Recently deceased Buddy Emmons' masterful artistry on the pedal steel sends chills up and down the spine. This is real country music not the shit of today coming from Chesney, Paisley, Keith, McGraw, etc .
@@gbuffaloe1 I believe it was on the "Sweetheart of the Year" album released in 1969, but it was done with a large orchestra in a lush arrangement. I've heard it one time and never care to hear that arrangement again. The "unissued" arrangement here is perfect.
I love this song from the get go Ray and this song go perfect together and I love his vice so much. I guess since we meet in 1948 at homecoming you could say we have been together for a long time. GOD BLESS YOU SO!!!!!
What a combination, Ray Price and the Big E. What a tone, Buddy Emmons had while working with Ray Price. In my opinion, Buddy Emmons defined what a steel guitar should sound like. His touch and tone, often imitated but never duplicated! Thank You, for sharing this most incredible song!
It's one of the highlights of my life that I got to briefly meet Ray and his crew before he passed. A true gentleman and helped inspire a deeper love of old country
Good Lord. This is as great as ANYTHING he ever recorded. Particularly since I read here that he wrote this song, how could it have possibly escaped being released?!! So, here's an idea: RELEASE THE RECORD NOW!!!!!!!!
you are so right Milton. This song is fabulous and the words are exactly right for it. Ill find the album or CD tomorrow and buy it if possible but being unissued I probably can't find it and GOD I do love this song wo much
Just incredible… this song grabbed me by the heart and made my hair stand up on end! Turns out this WAS released a few years later arranged with the very lush sounding Ray Ellis Orchestra. I think some producer in Nashville knew this was a bullet no matter how it was produced, and intentionally held it back! At that time I think the more exalted powers that be in the Music Industry said: “ Hold it! I think we can do better with a full orchestra and release it as a softer easy listening crossover tune..” Think “ For the Good Times” and you might understand their thinking. So I saw it releases and it can be played on a collection call Sweetheart of the Year, which I guess was meant to target that mellower audience.. But you know what? THEY FAILED! This song should have been released just the way you hear it here! This is just about the most perfect Mid 60s Ray Price 2 step shuffle tune I’ve heard! A stone classic out of the box! Someone on Music Row had more dollar signs in their eyes than sense, and blew it with a later, by some 3 or 4 year stretch, release of the Ray Ellis orchestrated and arranged version, which is also relatively unheard, and now lost in the annals of Mid century Classic Country…
This is real, pure, genuine, ole fashion classic country music as it should have continued in the now 21st century instead of the watered down country music as it is.
Ray did another version in the late 60s with horns and it was "operetic". He also did a version which was softer but really country with lots of violins. Most versatile, greatest voice, and a gentleman. Ray wrote this song
Awesome!!!! First time I heard this was on WSM. Eddie played it and I about drove off the road, seriously. The Chieif at his finest, plus he wrote it!! .
Don Law really screwed up by not releasing this shuffle beat killer of a song. Emmons was as good as ever right here. This is bone chilling good. That turn around by Emmons and And TJ was top notch the finest. Emmons was doing some fine shuffle stuff on here and filling with stuff unbelievable. Bona Fide of Ray Price's genious. He wrote it and sang it. So get back. A gem, obscure, but not a better example of Noble Ray Price in his prime. Little Shannon Burns you see pictured here, at 43 was killed by hospital staff administering the wrong medicine. The love of my life for 25 years fell silent killed as sure if they has used a gun. Remember the number 3 cause of death in the US behind abortions and autos is medical malpractice. My angel Bear is in heaven now.
Ray was the master, he had "underlings" like Johnny Austin Paycheck Willie Nelson & Roger Miller doing his bidding & *liking* it ! Ole Ray even sang & *drank* with ole Hank, now how many can boast about doing that. Well good ole Hugh Cherry who taught me all I know about country music, could.
The story I was told, Johnny Bush was once Ray's drummer, he wrote EACH TIME. Johnny's career was booming about the time Ray cut it, they had cross-words just after, Ray told Columbia not to release it. No question, it was as good as anything Ray cut around that time. Unfortunately, he met Cam Mullins, who convinced him he needed a new sound, with a 20 piece orchestra.
SOMETIMES IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO COMPREHEND THAT A VOICE AS GLORIOUS AND HEART-STIRRING AS THIS ACTUALLY EVER EXISTED. CERTAINLY RAY PRICE WAS ONE OF THE IDOLS OF EVERY COUNTRY SINGER THAT EVER HEARD HIS IMMORTAL VOICE. ACTUALLY, HE SANG WITH THE BEAUTY, ELOQUENCE AND POWER OF AN OPERATIC TENOR! THE PEDAL STEEL GUITAR WAS EXEMPLARY, BUT I WISH THE PLAYER HADN'T BACKED OFF HERE AND THERE AND PLAYED STRAIGHT THROUGH. I SUPPOSE THIS IS BY ORDER OF THE ARRANGER. SO OFTEN IN COUNTRY RECORDINGS THE STEEL GOES SILENT WAY TOO LONG FOR MY EARS. (I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT YOUR FINE CHANNEL HAS POSTED ONLY ELEVEN VIDEOS IN THE NINE YEARS OF IT'S EXISTENCE. AND THOSE FEW VIDEOS WERE POSTED DURING THE FIRST THREE YEARS. SO 2007 WAS THE LAST YEAR A VIDEO HAS BEEN POSTED. I AM SURE ELATED THAT THIS VIDEO BY RAY EXISTS, BUT ALSO VERY CURIOUS AS TO WHY SO LITTLE MATERIAL IS HERE.) RESPECTFULLY
Fantastic version. What a contrast it is with Ray's 1969 released version. That one was the full-on MOR, non-country direction that pretty much put Buddy Emmons off from recording with Ray any longer. This one's a keeper; the other was more Lawrence Welk than Nashville. Even the greats take wrong turns sometimes.
Grand Ole Opry star Jan Howard was a personal friend of mine. She, too, many times said to me that Ray Price was her favorite. In my opinion, Ray Price is one of the greatest vocalists who has ever lived.. maybe the greatest.
Do I understand correctly that this went unissued after being recorded? That's crazy. Someone was an idiot this song is beautiful. This is a great song. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love Ray Price.
The song was issued. This is just an alternate recording from the same session. Whether this is better than any of the other versions is matter of taste. But it's hard to imagine another take that trumped this.
My Mom and Dad were huge Ray Price fans and on Saturday mornings would occasionally call in a song request to a local radio station and dance while it played...Sometimes if I blink real fast thru the tears I can still see them dancing...
I love this song and this is real country music..when radio starts playing music like this again I'll turn it on..this new music is pure garbage and shouldn't be called country
A great treat for us senior citizens ❤
Damn now this is country music!!!!!!!!
Here's another gem that never made it to disc.

Hard to believe it was never released for air play. Simply masterful!
Possibly the best
Same
Damn THIS ONE HURTS
Love those shots of Jimmy Day and Johnny Paycheck!
This particular cut, being a previously UNISSSUED cut tells you something. That Ray left more top-shelf material behind in the studio than today's alleged country music hot-shots jam into heavily-produced and pushed albums. What a legacy of greatness Ray Price left behind.

Truer words were never spoken.

AMEN to that.
I love this song and am currently learning it. Thank God for ray. And thank God for my father who use to sing his and faron Youngs songs as well as teaching them to me.
Ray was the greatest male country singer of all time!
Mis saludos for the Cherokee cowboy.
What an amazing song that captures every amazing element Ray and the band harnessed!
Dynamite& classy!!!
I fell in love with traditional country music when I began listening to Ray Price circa 1968-1970. I'm still in love with it today!
It don't get any better than this.
Ray Price was so good. One of the very great voices. Rock isn't country. Ray Price was country. Jim Reeves, Faron Young, George Jones..... These men were country.
Amen to that. Nothing truer has been said that I’ve seen with my own two eyes.
You said it!!
Surely someone - anyone from NASHVILLE might get motivated and look through all the unissued cuts and make a brand new unissued CD. This is perfect - and should be on the jukeboxes today for us baby boomers to listen and dance to. Fantastic music, I can close my eyes and feel him on the stage singing. This was when Country Music was at its best. Can't find this today. My Dad would love this.
That's so beautiful. No one will ever top Ray Price in todays singers.
I just love those old country singers and the songs. Thank you so much John.
No one will ever top Ray Price ever!
@@shannonburns3785 Ray Price, Marty Robbins, Faron Young man those were the days!
I absolutely LOVE Classic Country music!!! Ray Price, Faron Young & Patsy Cline are my favorites!!!
Love the harmonies. Can't get enough of big E.
So many good songs that will never be sung live again.
My grandfather, Pete Burke Jr., who Is in the third picture, was one of his bass players!!! Thanks for your post!!
from the first time I ever heard this song I loved it and each time it just gets better. Thanks so much Ray
Recently deceased Buddy Emmons' masterful artistry on the pedal steel sends chills up and down the spine. This is real country music not the shit of today coming from Chesney, Paisley, Keith, McGraw, etc .
+gl hoetke I agree!
Chesney and Paisley are good compared to what's coming out now.
I'm learning Buddys parts from this...thanks for posting
Who?
you are so right
Gives me chills. Best ever.
I sincerely wish Ray had released this song. It would have been a huge hit.
It was on an album just not a single.
@@gbuffaloe1 I believe it was on the "Sweetheart of the Year" album released in 1969, but it was done with a large orchestra in a lush arrangement. I've heard it one time and never care to hear that arrangement again. The "unissued" arrangement here is perfect.
Oh wow! Love love this song!! Beautiful and 😢heartbreaking at the same time . ❤❤
this is the first time I have ever heard this song. Beautiful as I would expect of Ray. So dang good
Such a beautiful song, I absolutely love it!, love all of Ray Price songs!
of course his voice can't be beat,but the music is just great, !!!! pure country!! something we don't hear now days,such a shame!!
I love this song from the get go Ray and this song go perfect together and I love his vice so much. I guess since we meet in 1948 at homecoming you could say we have been together for a long time. GOD BLESS YOU SO!!!!!
I love this song so much. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs that he has sung!
Ray Price and Buddy Emmons....it don't get no better than that. and to top it off, Ray wrote the song.
What a combination, Ray Price and the Big E. What a tone, Buddy Emmons had while working with Ray Price. In my opinion, Buddy Emmons defined what a steel guitar should sound like. His touch and tone, often imitated but never duplicated! Thank You, for sharing this most incredible song!
Don't forget buddy Spicher on fiddle!!
Absolutely awesome as always!
I just love this song!!!....I miss these kinds of real country songs so much....Ray Price really was wonderful...thankyou for sharing!
This man could sing the phone book and I'd love it!!!
This is one song that CERTAINLY should have been released. What an opportunity lost! It hits home with many, many people.
Has a voice like no other... I Love Ray Price.
Buddy Emmons: steel guitar. The Big E. RIP Buddy & Ray
It's one of the highlights of my life that I got to briefly meet Ray and his crew before he passed. A true gentleman and helped inspire a deeper love of old country
THE MASTER! My God, This is pure greatness. Thanks for sharing.
No one can do a song like Mr. RAY PRICE....A TRUE LEGEND!
This song is beautiful!
Bohémský hlas,to je prostě úžasné, děkuji tam nahoru Mr.Ray Price - Tvoji věrní fandové!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW, had never heard this song before. It is beautiful, can't imagine anyone singing it any better. RIP RAY
Hard to believe this song was unissued, this is a jewel.....
Total greatness, in my opinion.
It was "too country" at the time, thats why.
Listen to Johnny Bush sing it.
great bong never heard beford
Good Lord. This
is as great as
ANYTHING he
ever recorded.
Particularly since I read here that he wrote this song, how could it have possibly escaped being
released?!!
So, here's an
idea: RELEASE THE RECORD NOW!!!!!!!!
you are so right Milton. This song is fabulous and the words are exactly right for it. Ill find the album or CD tomorrow and buy it if possible but being unissued I probably can't find it and GOD I do love this song wo much
Amen.
As usual another great song by Ray Price. No one could do it better than Ray.
Can’t believe this song was not issued...It’s beautiful. Glad you brought it out! 2018
powerful voice..love this period in his recording...voice amazing !
A Triple Crown Winner: Wonderful Song, Great Singer and an Outstanding Arrangement. Ray Price and his Cherokee Cowboys at their BEST!!!!!!!
This is a beautiful song by Ray. Can't believe it was not issued.
Been a Ray Price fan since about 1950, the best voice ever recorded, was great at the start & got better with time.
I would have been a fan of Ray's back in 1950, but I was born in 52, lol.
Just incredible… this song grabbed me by the heart and made my hair stand up on end! Turns out this WAS released a few years later arranged with the very lush sounding Ray Ellis Orchestra.

OMG 🔊🔊🔊❤❤SO LOVELY WOUNDERFUL country,BY RAY. Irealy REALY LOVE THIS sound 🎤🎸🎻🎼SO GREAT ❤
What a champ, Ray always embraced a song so damn well
Would have been another number one hit! Ray was the greatest singer ever!
I love his voice! I'm so glad I got to see him in person! This song is awesome! Thank you for sharing!!
This is real, pure, genuine, ole fashion classic country music as it should have continued in the now 21st century instead of the watered down country music as it is.
Twangy,whiney nasal or screaming, that's what it is today.I don't listen to the new stuff. To me it's not REALLY music. Just noise
RIP RAY PRICE
May the love surround you with his true love🙏🛐🌎✝️❤️
Rest in Peace Ray. You were one of a kind.

Back before the corporate jerks tried to make Ray a lounge singer. He had a sound like no other
He could sing anything and make it special

Wow, what a gem ! Classic Ray !
Quels bons et merveilleux souvenirs a reeeecouter
Great music & old photos - Thanks, whoever posted -
Fantastic singer 👍😎
pure country👍
Beautiful song sung as only Ray Price
Can sing it
MR.PRICE YOU ARE THE BEST.......
like all of Ray's music it is much underrated/

Meanwhile down in TEXAS('69) Johnny Bush cut it to a waltz beat and played dance request for it for the next 50 years. Still played at TEXAS dances!
True country. Thank Goodness
Thanks love this song..
I love this version of Each Time
Fantastic.
That was awesome
No words can be said. Just let it be heard.
Ray was the master,
he had "underlings" like
Johnny Austin Paycheck
Willie Nelson & Roger Miller
doing his bidding & *liking* it !
Ole Ray even sang & *drank*
with ole Hank, now how many
can boast about doing that.

The song was issued. This is just an alternate
recording from the same session. Whether this is better than any of the other versions is matter of taste. But it's hard to imagine another take that trumped this.
This song Was issued but this recording is much better and truer to ray prices voice and style.
This song was originally released as a 3/4 waltz song, this is way better version
I thought the 3/4 time cut was great,but I think I like this 4/4 cut better. I love that slow shuffle with the walking bass.
Your right, lots of reel to reel never released.
C'est un plaisir d'apercevoir Jimmy Day. . là dessus
This superb cut should come with a WARNING label: Imminent Dancing. Push back the coffee table and grab the one you love.
I had never heard Each Time in 4/4 time, only Johnny Bush version in 3/4 time.
perfect song
