Merle Haggard........................One of the World's Best Country Singers. To you Pietro Pacini for all the work you have done for us in choosing the best music to preserve.
Merle was such a good singer. He hung around Willie so much that he started phrasing a little like him and also had some of his nasal sounds. Merle, you were truly what a country singer should sound like instead of this rock cra* they call country now. RIP
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. MERLE AND WILLIE BOTH HAD THAT STYLE OF SINGING.....I BELIEVE IT IS CALLED VIBRATO, AND I SO ENJOY THEM ON MY TOP FAVORITES, AS WELL AS KING GEORGE.,!!!!🎵🎵
The best of the best are now gone. and NO ONE will ever fill their shoes. Merle's in heaven now with Waylon, George, Johnny. RIP.I will miss you'll every day. My husband Gil is probably close by listening to their music.
I cried the day Merle died, No other country singer's passing has ever hit me like this one. I'm so glad I got to see Him a few years back, I will sure miss him. He left behind something that is priceless........His music! Thank you Merle for the music and all the great memories I sure will miss you. RIP my friend. Your FAN.
If an for the love his the man his music I'm 77 year old for me will never die very sad l love the man even never saw in person . he will for ever live saver real old fan. H.S.A in San Antonio , texas
he is up there with most of the rest of the greatest county music singers . even though I did not know merel he was a deer frand of mine thanks for all the years of your music.
My granddaughter was in a bad accident about the time Merle died.she's ok I'm.....it took me months for it to sink in that he was gone.then went out and bought all his cds RIP
It seems that every time I hear a Merle Haggard song, I start loving him again. I always remember hearing Strangers and Swinging Doors in the 60s, and saying to my friends that he was going to be one of our greatest country music stars.
Everybody who enjoyed hearing Merle sing will miss him now. He sang real Country Music and we were lucky to hear him sing. With all these great singers going the world is slipping away,there are so few of them left. We were the lucky ones to be here when they sang their songs.
I absolutely love him as I inherited it from my Momma LuAnn. She passed in 1997 but she loved Merle so much!!! He is the true meaning of COUNTRY MUSIC.
God Bless your soul Merle. I feel as if a member of my family has died. He was a part of the sound track of my life growing up. His music touch our souls from our modern 4' Console Stereo ... Life was Good. My family migrated to the SW from Oklahoma ... all around the Muskogee area. The music will play on, and provide sweet memories.
I sure miss Merle Haggard.. Great classic old country music..Lots of memories listening to him..Country music was paved by Merle and some of the other old greats..It's come a long ways in many different varieties, but the old country had a life of it's own and will always be the best..Songs come and go, but no one can forget the country classics.. :)
Love, love you and miss you but we will see you when we get there. Now we know why heaven is such a beautiful place to be. Keep singing Merle. Wow what a reunion that has to be in heaven with our loved ones and friends and all the awesome singers whom are now with the their creator and gave you the singing talent.
this is the true definition of country music.the other notables are jim reeves,ray price,marty robbins,patsy cline,george jones,hank williams rats there just isnt enough room.there will always be a special place in my heart for the hag.god bless the hag,and his family.and long live country music.
He is incredible. Yes...a legend, an icon, one of the last of a dying breed as they say. Today's country isn't what it used to me yet we do have some great stars that keep country's roots true. It's up to you to enjoy them.
Never been a country fan (aside from Johnny Cash), but after a recent breakup in January this gem was playing in the background somewhere.....Merle, you just picked up another fan.
Thank you Merle, I'm a Bakersfield girl who grew up hearing your music - you were one of the best of the best - and you won't be forgotten - you're in our hearts forever.
i saw merle haggard last week her in warren, ohio at packard muics hall. think to my friend carl hartzell from our north mar church in warren, ohio so i thank you so much carl but i still wish that you could have seen merle haggard yourself amen.
I've loved merle haggards' music since I was very young. he was a triple threat. He can sing, write a great song, and he can play the guitar like nobody else. Rest in peace Merle. You and George kick out the footlights in heaven now.
RIP may you and George sing the oldie but goodies again thank you for the awesome generation I was so blessed to be apart of!!!!your music will forever be played.ur the best u took your silver wings
You're the best Merle, with your presentation, writing & song. Love ya lots. PLEASE come to Canada (Toronto area), PLEASE?? I won't be around much longer and would give my pension to see you and hear you. Take care, God bless, Marilyn
Thank you Merle, you and this song will always be loved by real hardcore country fans forever. See you in paradise. Cheers LP: Okie From Muskogee...Today I Started Loving You Again Written by Merle Haggard & Bonnie Owens c1968, 1969 G C G D7 G
Several years ago, I interviewed Merle Haggard for a National TV Magazine I was producing. For the first few minutes, the interview was, well, it was okay. I mean, he'd done a bazillion of them--and he was, frankly, more than a little half-bored. Cordial but clearly not into it. Until, that is, I told him that he and I were born and raised in the same hometown---and, most important, that we had both worked in the same potato sheds, jiggin' and sewin' and truckin' spuds in those Okie run sheds during the hottest parts of the Bakersfield summer. This was way back...a long time ago. And then? Well then, Merle's faced opened up. He seemed genuinely touched. He said, If anybody would have told me I'd be interviewed by a good ol boy who had jigged and sewed in the sheds, or even knew what in hell a potato shed was, I would not have believed it." I know. It's a small matter, my brief story, not important or relevant to anything, really. Yet on this day, today, the day that this magical singing poet died, I cannot help but to recall how pleased i am to have at one time worked the inside the same sheds as the Hag. May God bless him and comfort all those to love him.
The incomparable Merle Haggard and Bonnie Owens, the lady for whom he penned this wonderful song...How much they must have loved one another. And how lucky we are to have glimpsed a part of their lives. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!!
love this song and only Merle Haggart can sing it the way he does...His music is all about feelings and lifes challenges. You are a true country singer Merle!
There will never be anyone to replace Merle Haggard and his slew of beautiful songs. I love his music and chord progressions in his music. Glad I got to see Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and Ray Price in concert in Presques Isle,Me. Great performance and soooo enjoyable!!
This is when music was real, yes they had some equipment to work with, but their singing was amazing. They didn't have the luxury of dubbing and editing stuff. I love old country.
the world has lost a great American. God bless
Merle Haggard........................One of the World's Best Country Singers. To you Pietro Pacini for all the work you have done for us in choosing the best music to preserve.
Never be any one to fill Merle shoes.. his son’s are good.. but you can’t be Merle.. RIP my Hero.
Hello Joanne 👋
Merle was such a good singer. He hung around Willie so much that he started phrasing a little like him and also had some of his nasal sounds. Merle, you were truly what a country singer should sound like instead of this rock cra* they call country now. RIP
Agree. But Merle has stated many times that Marty was his favorite singer. His imitation of Marty was really good.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. MERLE AND WILLIE BOTH HAD THAT STYLE OF SINGING.....I BELIEVE IT IS CALLED VIBRATO, AND I SO ENJOY THEM ON MY TOP FAVORITES, AS WELL AS KING GEORGE.,!!!!🎵🎵
Willie wrote a lot of songs for Merle and they are some of my favorite as he uses so much of Willie’s phrasing like in Half a Manx
Thirty best merge haggard songs
