I’m 33 years old, love country and this is real country. These new generations country singers could learn a thing or two from the king. I wish more country artist would go back to this country style.
I think most of these were lip synced performances. Hee haw (and most other TV programs from the 60s-80s) made this a normal practice to ensure the song was identical to the records.
"Amarillo by Morning" is a country music song written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser, and recorded in a country pop style by Stafford as a single in 1973 to minor success. The song would be popularized in a fiddle-based Western rendition by Texas George Strait in 1982
George is over 60 number ones now. They don't call him the King for noting. What I like about George,, who served in the Army is he gives disabled veterans homes for free. Most people don't know that. SF
He sings his songs s lot better than any other person who would be singing it. All the songs he sings are totally awesome but if anyone else sings his songs, they just don't do the songs justice
He is probably an underrated guitar player because he uses it as a prop much like Elvis would. However, if you watch closely, he is playing chords, just nothing fancy.

The quality of his voice is phenomenal here. His phrasing is just spot on and effortless.

@@BrianLTannerYou might be right. But his voice in concert sounds a lot like his albums.
And 40 years after this night it is still the best song I believe he has recorded.
This made me cry because my dad loved this song and he sadly died on New Year's Eve of 2022 😭
What a dreamy cowboy right there. Oh, he sings too. ❤❤❤
Ya I know
I want to be your cowboy
You got it babe
U got it girl 👍

Noone can sing country music better than George Strait
Also correct
Only Terry Stafford.
Love this song. It truly his best. The music lyrics and entertainment and music is awesome. George Strait is King of Country Music
I knew the song was old but I didn't know it was this old
1973 ~ Terry Stafford, who co-wrote the song with Paul Fraser

Ain't possible to get anymore country than this George on HEE HAW
Won’t never be another one like king George !!!
Soooo goooood.
George does a great job on this. The original writer, Terry Stafford also does a good job singing the original in the 1960's.
Lookin' through HeeHaw episodes and I found a 💎... Btw-I was born in Amarillo... 💙

I remember seeing this around that time thinking "He doesn't look like a George but that guy's pretty good". lol
Back when country music was really country music.

Been listening to Terry, Chris and George sing this through the years I gotta say this 83 George is good. Great even. But 2019 George is the best

I have often refered to Mr Strait and Clint Black as Class Country!
WOW Im from Philadelphia! Had no idea Clint was from back east!@richardhead471
He now says this is his favorite song to perform...
He has always considered it one of his favorites. It is one of Texas’s state songs basically.
People always request this song when we are doing farmades
Great post! Thanks for sharing!

Correct
His version is the best, but it wasn’t His song to begin with. Terry Stafford wrote and recorded it in 1973, 10 years before he had George record it.
All up and coming country artists should watch videos of country legends to know what country music should be today.
Isso é música country das boas
This song shows the real George Strait
❤❤❤
Adoro esse ser mais lindo
love him
This is why he is king geogre
much LOVE Kimmyssong
Reply To Georre Strait I.like the Amiloo Brillior by Morning
George is playing a 12 stringer here!
12 Ovation! He played Ovations in a handful of old videos
He is probably an underrated guitar player because he uses it as a prop much like Elvis would. However, if you watch closely, he is playing chords, just nothing fancy.
I hate to say it but I never notice all that guitar stuff bc his face gets in my way😂😁
@@BitterBetty76 -Now that is funny. A lot of women have the same problem.
@@BitterBetty76 amen!!
Wish he would wear a white hat when he performs now; it's usually always a black hat when he's on stage...
Wonder if it is a Resistol thing. They are still his official hat sponsor, so maybe they ask him to wear their black felt dress hats still.
At least he doesn't wear square toe boots.
:)
