    In 1977 my husband and best friend had this song played at our wedding. It goes both ways. I lost him 5 yrs ago to cancer. I know I will see him again, but I miss him so! 💔

    Don Williams was a genuine treasure. God rest his soul. Don....this is the kind of relationship I have with my husband. I could relate to everything he was singing about right back to my husband, Scott. It goes both ways. :)

    Don Williams and what his music describes is the type of man our media has decided they don't want anymore. There's still plenty of those guys out there, but you're not likely to find them with an app. And the love he describes...the best friend/soulmate kinda love, is also still very attainable. But people have forgotten, its the inclusion of your Creator in the relationship that makes that possible. God blessed me with my beautiful wife Christine and I've learned that what I do to her, I also do to Him and to our children, society, pets, friends and on and on. As for the nonbelievers...don't worry...just keep listening to quality Country...you'll eventually catch on. :-)

    This is my favorite Don Williams song. I used to hear Don's records sprinkled in with all the different types of music I heard on AM radio as a kid in the 1970s. What a wonderful musical education that was because we heard all styles of music and artists on one station! Don passed away in 2017, but I finally had the privilege of seeing him in concert when he came to a local venue in 2015. I sat near Don in the second row near the end of the stage where he was seated, and he looked directly at me with a nod and a smile in approval when he apparently liked the sound of my voice during the audience sing-along verse of "You're My Best Friend". I'll always cherish that moment fondly.

    Hey Don, you're right, it was released in 1975 as the title track of his album, one of his number one hits too.
    I've seen my mother's old notebook with the written lyrics of this song, also the first Don Williams song I've listened to. Fell in love with it instanly since I was 4, the earliest I can remember.

    I think this is his best song. That describes me and my second wife. We were such good friends that when I got out of a disastrous marriage, we decided to get married although we had never dated. We were married 25 happy years before I lost her to brain cancer. She continued to be my best friend until the day she died.

    Don Williams is one of my favorite singers, I have all his albums, digital tho, since it's hard to buy vinyl here in the mountains of the philippines. I'm 17 YO Filipino by the way.
    Grew up listening to county music cuz of my dad, it's popular amongst us in the cordillera and cagayan Region especially among older folks.

    Hey Don,
    Don Williams is one of my all time favorite artist!
    Such a natural, smooth delivery on everything he performed. In my opinion a style all singers should aspire to, within their personal capabilities.
    BTW, not sure which one came first but, this same melody and mostly the same lyrics were used by a southern gospel group on an album and in there performances. This tune has alot of wonderful miles on it!!... LOL
    Anyway, great job again. And thanks for remembering one of the best singers ever! Keep RN2C!!
