Unreal Talent I saw him in Jacksonville FL. In the late 70s. I think Hank jr had a better voice than his father. His father is of course a hall of famer.
Hank Jr.,your dad would be so proud.When he became famous ,he was such a talented song writer & singer but as u sang with love of your dad ,You have one hell of voice that equaled your dad in & that’s how life continues & progresses.You are equal to your dad in respect & honor as things progress with time.He just happened came in the world earlier than you.Two Great Voices!

I was born in 1970 and by the 80's I was a country music man and still am, grew up listen to Hank JR,Waylon,Willie, George Jones, Merle etc... in the 80's and that's how I got to know his music...On the radio, songs like Dixie on my mind,Born to Boogie, Heaven Can't be found,etc...So, I became a Hank Jr fan because of his own music, and not because of his Daddy, Who I also am a fan of....
Hank Williams sr + jr are the reason why country still exists in my honest opinion. Very huge influence on the genre. No disrespect to Willie of course.
Back when Country wasn’t cool. But back when Country Music was at its best. It had its unique and beautiful quality about it. You could hear the music and could guess who was singing what song.
Hank, Jr., is a great country artist. Coming back from that near lethal fall off the mountain side is, indeed, a miracle. As his career progressed, Hank, Jr., did what was best for him, and country music fans all over the world are the richer for it. What he has accomplished as an artist is remarkable.
Oh my Lord... what an incredible voice Hank Jr. Had at such a young age!! He sounds like he’s totally in control of everything & not nervous about anything! What a kick this is watching & listening!! 💕
If there is ever a country singer/artist to be more qualified for the Pioneer Award or to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, it would be Hank Jr, because he was one of the greatest cross over artist and probably one of the first. He can do Southern Rock great, he can sing Blues and Funk good. He's obviously a great Country singer. Just like Elvis, he can do it all. He definitely is one of the founding Fathers of the Outlaw movement with Waylon and Willie. He's just great all around.
@@71fordhiboy all of them, as great as they are, were nearly 20 years older than Jr. He stepped away from Miss Audrey and became his own. Thats Outlaw, by any standards, whether the movement was already smoking or not. His fall in Montana gave him an edge and to me, he stands out as invinciable. His Legacy is no less than those you speak of.
The late Don Helms told a funny story about Hank Jr's 21st birthday party His record label had planned a big surprise party but the surprise was on them when Hank Jr, announced from that day forward, NO ONE would ever tell him what to sing, what to say and what to to do...He walked out and Audrey was telling them.."GO AND GET HIM".. he said everyone said.."AUDREY..He's 21...what can we do...LOL
+Glenda Metivier i think he sings better than his father. i don't know if the old recordings affected hank sr's voice, but when i listen to both hank jr is a better singer.
+Denis Lessard His more upbeat and clean toned, Hank had the sound though neither hank Williams JR or Hank Williams III could match it but as waylon said he believed that Hank Jr surpassed his dad in talent after all he did die when he was 29. I do enjoy the Duet songs of both of them Like Tear in my beer
Hank Jr...done went past his dads accomplishments. He embodies both Hank Sr's and his own. I don't know of anyone else that's pulled that off. Bravo to the "Hank" legacy. Keep it goin' boys.
I know-me too :) His voice is hot & haunting in a different way than Sr's but Hank Jr's voice does these songs justice-sexy like his dad -yet in a different style there as well. :)
hank jr rocks an for those who cant adapt to hanks voice s its all perfection that made him who he is today. ledgend in his own way to us that makess him one oof country star.so just change your web if you dont like him.it is what it is.
+wildstreak73 Yes, he was about 14, maybe 15 at the time. I wish someone would post the ending of this program with George Jones and Hank, Jr. singing "I Saw The Light".
Hank sounds wonderful here. He has always had a great voice - in his own right. I love to hear him today do the love songs - the ballads - for which he has made me a fan of his. I am glad he has been having a fine career of his own and I only wish he would stay away from the over the top drinking, cussing songs because they aren't what true country music is all about. In his private life it's his own business but not in the public eye. I quit going to his concerts. Thanks for this. - Paula
Lip-syncing, but face it, it's still Hank Jr. Look at American Bandstand. We were kids, but we didn't give a rip if a singer was singing or not, just so we got to see them. Just enjoy.
It was a different time. Hank Jr never pass Hank Sr. You've got to remember Hank Sr died at age 29. Jr was bound to do more because he lived a lot longer.
Do you believe his voice? Do you hear the depth in his voice? How old can he be? 15? Unbelievable. I love Hank 1, 2 and 3, but this was a bit better than the other two. Unfortunately, Hank Jr. do not sing this good anymore, but still. Unbelievable.
Thanks for posting this video. For long -time Bocephus fans, it is great seeing a piece of the past. I've been a proud Hank Jr fan for four decades, he is an absolute legend.
I saw a video on CBN (700 Club) where a young woman related to Hank Williams (a cousin or niece perhaps) was telling of having had a near-death experience and she found herself in heaven and she said she saw Hank Williams Sr there. If you go to CBN you might be able to find that interview. It was less than a year ago that I saw it. For some different videos about NDE about 5 men who died and came back, Search Utube for TO HELL AND BACK, RAWLINGS. God bless you.

hank Sr did everything in "4" years, no one can match that talent
Hank Sr and Jimi Hendrix both legends
Y'all just look at last 4 yrs
HANK Williams was around performing. Longer than that
i looked it up he was a recording artis for 6 years and sang before that
Hank Jr.,your dad would be so proud.When he became famous ,he was such a talented song writer & singer but as u sang with love of your dad ,You have one hell of voice that equaled your dad in & that’s how life continues & progresses.You are equal to your dad in respect & honor as things progress with time.He just happened came in the world earlier than you.Two Great Voices!
He's also proud of his look alike Hank Williams 111
Now this is Country music
When country was country

Brilliantly Done Bocephus.

Jimmie rodgers and the carter family played a big part!
hank 3
Talk about a "Chip off the old block" a very talented chip...
I can see the pain in him.People back then asking to much of him.Audrey pushing him to be Hank Sr. Hank Jr. is a great singer in his own right!
Back when Country wasn’t cool. But back when Country Music was at its best. It had its unique and beautiful quality about it. You could hear the music and could guess who was singing what song.
Country music at it finest.
Classic country at it's finest!
This Is From A 1963 movie, "Country Music on Broadway". The first film made in Nashville, it was produced by Audrey Williams' film production company.
Hank Sr. was my daddy’s favorite singer. Thank goodness his voice lives on in his Hank Jr. a great talent in his own right.
His father was the greatest, no one could ever sing this song better.

beautiful..sings with lots of feeling..My heartaches when I hear this song..didn't know Hank Sr. but I really love his music♡
Flawless.
Now That's Country biscuits and buttermilk...
Hank Jr was great then, and still is !!
OMG !!!!! EXTREMELY OUTSTANDING !!!!!

Ralph Emery introducing Hank Jr.
No special effects just serious musical talent and a great voice

yes I totally agree with you
I beg to differ it was Kris Kristofferson Waylon Johnny Willie and I think Merle hank didn't have anything to do with the outlaw stage it was then
you r out of ur mind
He is SO young here and his voice is very good...

He’s great. That’s the first song I learned. Was with him in Oklahoma City in 1978. He was living in Cullman Alabama.
He's great like his dad

Love this

Definitely a chip of the old block
thank you...
Hank Jr: *sings song*
His dad: *cries* T-That’s my son.
Hank Sr. would’ve been so damn proud of his son and grandson’s natural talent
