My eyes need a good washing now and then. This song is the reason why I named my sweet border collie "Molly". I loved that dog so much and three years after losing her, I still shed tears. This song is beyond beautiful and these guys are the best I have heard. Thank you for sharing.
I have been lucky enough to see these guys many times live. Always love the harmonies. Nobody does it as well as they do. Jim on his own has done many great songs too. Love them forever. XXX
I watch you tube like a hawk for old or new downloads of the glasers. My heart too pumps peanut butter for all of them but my favorite is Jim. I have lived a fairly long time and never have heard anyone sing with such lovely Harmony. The Tenor has always sent goose bumps up and down my spine anyhow. And Jim is the very best ever..I still follow you Jim, hope to see you in person some day soon.
Tonight I listened to part of the cma awards, a show that use to be the highlight of my year. Tonight it nearly broke my ears They call it country music. It's as far away from country sa hard rock. They can't even carry a tune and they sure don't know what harmony is. LORDY!!!

Surely can't find harmony like this coming out of Nashville anymore and most certainly not the talent in this song by Tompall and his brothers. Today's carbon-copy, tight jeans wearing, shave and haircut needing phonies that are being produced by New York owned record companies have nothing new to offer Country Music but Rap lyrics. Thank you of posting this beautiful song by such a talented group.
Thanks so much for getting this up! It was previously on You Tube, which, in its infinite wisdom, deleted it! This is one of the absolute greatest harmony performances I have ever seen! The Glaser Brothers were awesome...
I remember Eddy Arnold singing this on his radio program when I was just a little girl. I thought he was the best singer in the world. It took me all these years to learn I was wrong. No one can sing like the marvelous Tompall and his bros.! I still have not been able to find Tompall's book .Sure would love to.
These guys had the most beautiful harmony I’ve ever heard! But, in my humble opinion, Jim had the best voice of the three. I can’t get enough of him, with his brothers or solo his voice was just magical ❣️
So amazing to watch - from all we know, it's pretty obvious they didn't get along - but when all three gather around one microphone to create that incredible harmony, it's the sweetest sound in the world.
The Brothers' breakup is the one subject Tompall would not talk about in his biography. He said it was still too painful. Every Tompall fan, or country music fan for that matter, should read "The Great Tompall: Forgotten Country Music Outlaw" written by Kevin Glaser, one of Tompall's nephews. It was published last year shortly after Tompall's death. It is a FANTASTIC book. A great journey through the life of one of the greatest talents of our time. A very private man as well. He and his brothers were all so very talented and certainly made their mark in country music history. So many other artists owe them a great deal. It's time for Nashville to do the right thing and induct them into the Hall of Fame. They have more than earned it.! If you haven't already, please treat yourself to this book.
Hi Linda, just listening on TH-cam and saw your post about Tompall's book, and wanted you to know I'm about half way into re-reading the book. Enjoying it more this time than the first time. Awesome!
I would be right There with you Linda. Not only are they the most awesome singers but, they were so handsome. Like I said... they make my heart turn flips every time I hear them.
I, too, thank you for posting this. It'such a beautiful song. ...and I'm a little envious of you for seeing them in person and meeting them. I would have loved to be in your shoes. I do hope you continued posting their wonderful music for us to enjoy.
Chuck Glaser of The Glaser Brothers has released an album in February 2017 on iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon 'That's When I Love You the Most' check it out!! While you're there check out The Glaser Brothers' Album "Rehearsal Sessions, May 1972"
The old American song by William Shakespeare Hays ( 1837 - 1907 ), " Molly Darling " is original song of the Japanese song " Fuyu no Seiza / 冬の星座. ' I think these 2 songs are very different tastes.
Oh my goodness, never saw the video of this. LOVE it. And all three look wonderful, but doesn't Tompall warm the cockles of your heart? LOL Thank you so much for the upload Japstrangler.
Always had a problem with this comment. I think Tompall was the asshole. He always presented himself as the star (Tompall and the Glaser Brothers) but was the least of the three at singing.
Carol, I want "Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine" so I can go back in time and go to every Glaser Brother's show I can find. I am so jealous of anyone who ever got to see them perform live. This video is the closest I'll ever get. So grateful for this upload :)
So many favorites... Delta Lost; All That Keeps Ya' Goin'; Walk Unashamed; Jim's Lights of Alberquerque; Tompall's Sold American and Cowboys and Daddies; The Great El Tigre; Maria Consuela; the backups for Marty in their early days on The Story of My Life and The Hanging Tree (if you haven't TH-camd those two clips - Marty Robbins at the TownHall Party...go get them!) I think I have 5, Linda - vinyl that Dad left me. But more than the records...I have the legacy that was the Glaser Brothers that I carry in my heart, forever emblazoned......
I took all my Glaser Brothers vinyl and had them put on CD. I love listening to the vinyl, but I can't take the records with me in the car!!! I'm at 14 and counting, but that includes some of Tompall's solo records. Can't ever get enough.
linda donahue Hi Linda. Tompall & his brothers sure sing this song so beautifully. I listen to this one every day. I didn't realize though he wrote this song until I read his biography. There just will never be another voice like Tompall Glaser. Never!
You said it better than anyone, Bobbi. There will NEVER be another talent like Tompall. I have always been in awe of him as a singer, but I didn't realize just how much of an outstanding songwriter he was until I read the biography. Favorites of mine, all of them! He was really something and I will always miss him, but can "have" him every day through his wonderful music. Take care!!
Thanks, Linda, for your comment. I too have bought every album that I can find on ebay. I don't have 9 but quite a few. I am looking for more. I could never have too many. I don't even have a turn table but I am looking for one. Can't wait to play them. There are a couple of new additions by the Glasers on you tube. I was the first to comment on some of them. I know that is only because, you Linda, June and Carol haven't found them yet. Keep looking girls, you are getting behind. Winner and others are digging long and hard to find these nuggets of gold. They are SO000000000000 beautiful!
I think I have found all the new postings, Helen, but if I miss any let me know. I think Chuck suffers from Parkinson's disease as well as other health issues. Jim continues to perform and sounds as great as ever. He was recently on the "Marty Stuart" show and blew everyone away! I don't think the three of them ever hated each other. I read that Tompall once said that they were all just stubborn and refused to compromise. Tompall said in his biography that the subject was too painful to talk about. I am always looking for more LP's from the Glasers. I'm having what I have put on CD's and will get them in about 2 weeks. Can't wait! Linda
linda donahue Hi Linda, Where is a good place to take the albums to have put on cds? thanks for clearing up the misconception of the Glasers hating one another. That really bugged me. I hate Chuck is so sick. Yes, I saw one of the songs that he sang on Marty's show. I saw it on you tube. My sister saw it live on tv. She was very excited about it. She said he sang 3 songs. All of them favorites of mine. But only one was posted. I wish I could see the others. Helen
I only saw Jim do 2 songs on that show. I saw "Let Me Down Easy" on TH-cam and the other one was his song "The Lights Of Albuquerque" What was the other one? About your albums, Helen, call computer repair shops where you live. A lot of them do the transfer of LP's to CD. That's what I did. They are only charging me $10 per LP and that is because I want them all separate. It is cheaper if you want multiple albums on one CD. Good luck and let me know if you need anything further from me. Always glad to help a sister Glaser fan. Tompall stole my heart, but I love them all dearly.
Wow! Thank you so much for this post! What a treat to actually watch The Glasers work their magic on this beautiful, beautiful song. Please tell me you have more to share:)
Hello Linda, Do you recall a video of the Brothers singing "Rings" live & it was from this same concert? It was removed about 3 years ago. It was just wonderful & I was so disappointed when it was removed. There is one more video on here with Tompall singing Put another log on the fire that was also from this concert. I surely wish it would be uploaded again. Take care of your self...Bob!!
Don't recall that particular "Rings" video, Bobbi, but I don't believe I was on TH-cam 3 years ago. Would love to see it! Did you know there is a new CD available of the Glaser Brothers? It contains all the songs from their first two albums, plus many more. None of them have ever been available on CD before. It's called "Same Old Memories", and has about 27 tracks on it. Very reasonable at about $16.00 on Amazon. Treat yourself! It is wonderful! You take care as well, Bobbi. Winter can't last forever, my friend!
linda donahue Hi Linda, Hope you are well. I don't know how the weather is there in Ohio on this first day of spring but here in the mountains of NC it still feels like winter!! & by the way I have to watch this one by the Glasers everyday!!
Bobbie Hobson, good to hear from you. It will actually feel like Spring here for at least a couple of days. SOOOO tired of Winter! This is one of their best for sure. I listen to it a lot, if not every day at least every other day! Take care and come on over to Facebook if you ever get an account and join the Tompall group (Tompall Glaser:Wanted The Outlaw). Lots of fans there! Linda
None better than the Glaser Brothers. I have a special place in my heart for Tompall. Have for a long time. No one ever sang a country lyric like Tompall. Jim's voice is truly a gift. He still sounds wonderful today. The three of them together was pure music magic. I miss them but listen to them every day!
Copied this years ago off youtube,, someone has a better recording of this video, its be on my phone for years. Saw the lads live in Southport near Liverpool England many moons ago, fantastic, also met them back stage. The BBC must have several video's of the lads, they appeared live on the Val Doonican show about six times in the seventies. I have 14 albums of the lads, don't have equipment to upload.
TheJapstrangler Thank you for the information. Weren't the Glasers something? I envy you for getting to see them live and to actually meet them. How do we convince the BBC to share some of their Glaser treasures with us? The UK fans have always been so loyal to the Glasers. Thank you again for this upload. I adore it.
Does anyone know much about chuck? I know he had a stroke. Is that why he almost always looks so sad. I know it must really hurt that he can no longer play the guitar. Watch the clips before his stroke. He was all smiles and a ball of fire with that guitar and those beautiful harmonies He is too very handsome. I hate so bad that he had to give up his guitar, however, at least he can still sing with the group. You are appreciated so much, Chuck. All the best to you, my friend. The group would never have been the same without you..
Just listening to a BBC report on the death of George Martin, they were interviewing Ken Mansfield, Apple boss in America, George Martin was getting "clued up" on popular music recording methods, he asked to see the Outlaw way of recording, he sat in and watched Tompal record stuff, small world.
What a great posting, Japstrangler - thank you! I think that the previous posting of this was removed for some reason? Was this from one of the Wembley shows? Interesting comments re Val Doonican show. I suspect the only way to get access to this would be to pay for a 'research' copy with the timer on it - (that is, if the tapes haven't been wiped). I don't know if you have to be in the business to be able to request a research copy. My uncle was a big fan - and introduced me to them. He told me the first time he saw them was on a UK 'George Hamilton IV' show - maybe in the late 60s - though I've never seen this surface either. Did you see the biography on Tompall, which was written by his nephew and published last year, after his death? 'The Great Tompall'??
I have 14 albums of the lads, waiting for someone to upload "home country" From the Album The Wonderful World Of The Glaser Brothers, I have it but don't have the "nous" to upload it myself, need it to put on my phone. Some great uploads recently of Tompal from the "rouge album".
I have read that book a few times. It is FANTASTIC and way overdue. Tompall was such a talent and has been more or less forgotten. He is the best singer I have ever heard and the Glasers together were pure magic. I spend many hours on TH-cam catching up on their beautiful music.
Tompall's nephew Kevin Glaser wrote Tompall's biography. It was out last November, I believe. I have read it several times already. I have waited for his story to be told for many years now. The book is called "The Great Tompall: Country Music's Forgotten Outlaw". It's readily available on Amazon and has had fantastic reviews. Please get a copy. Every Tompall fan should read this. He was so very talented and much under rated and appreciated. Today is the first time I have seen your post or I would have gotten back with you sooner. Happy reading and listening, Helen.
JapStrangler, would you be interested in selling some or all of your glaser albums? Please answer back on this clip, and maybe we could get together thru mail or something. Thanks
Helen, I recently bought some on ebay and Amazon.. The price was fair and the albums are in great shape. I am with TheJapstrangler. I wouldn't part with any of mine either. I now proudly own 9 altogether. Good luck, my friend!
Show business has a way of tearing families a part. This is one of those times. It is said that they now hate each other. I don't believe that. The old saying is "the closest thing to love is hate" How can they not still love each other after having obviously done so all their lives?
I would be right There with you Linda. Not only are they the most awesome singers but, they were so handsome. Like I said... they make my heart turn flips every time I hear them.
You and me, Carol. crisscrossing the country. watching and listening to the Glasers and the Great Tompall show after incredible show!!! Now THAT would be a dream come true. If only :):):)
Like you said..if only we could. My dreams would come true. There was just something special about them. I'll never forget the first time I saw them on tv. I was walking across the room, heard their beautiful harmony, turned and just watched as they performed. I couldn't get enough. I lived in Albuquerque, NM at the time and saw the beautiful golden morning Sun on the sandia mountains and listened to them singing about that in their song. "It'll be Her" it was like heaven. Nobody even comes close.
Wasn't this a great find, Carol? I was so excited to see this today. Don't they sound amazing? I think I will play this all evening and let Tompall sing me to sleep. Happy, happy, happy :) :) :)
The most beautiful harmony ever!
I have been a fan for so many years!
My eyes need a good washing now and then. This song is the reason why I named my sweet border collie "Molly". I loved that dog so much and three years after losing her, I still shed tears. This song is beyond beautiful and these guys are the best I have heard. Thank you for sharing.
These three brothers could sing and you could understand every word! This was true country music.
Just may be the most beautiful voice ever.
That’s so true dear Tompall fan !
I just love their voices!!
This is what you call Country Music. It's an classic that was done by Eddy Arnold, Slim Whitman, and others. This version by the Glasers is beautiful!
It's the best I've heard in all my 80 years. Nobody could ever do better.
So Beautiful......Thanks
Totally agree with bonnie
I have been lucky enough to see these guys many times live. Always love the harmonies. Nobody does it as well as they do. Jim on his own has done many great songs too. Love them forever. XXX
these guys are top class they should be in the country hall of fame
The Country Music Hall of Fame will not be legitimate until the Glaser Brothers are inducted. Period.
These brothers are heaven sent.
one of my favorites!!
I watch you tube like a hawk for old or new downloads of the glasers. My heart too pumps peanut butter for all of them but my favorite is Jim. I have lived a fairly long time and never have heard anyone sing with such lovely Harmony. The Tenor has always sent goose bumps up and down my spine anyhow. And Jim is the very best ever..I still follow you Jim, hope to see you in person some day soon.
One of my favourite clips ever of the boys..love them!🥰🥰🥰
To me no one does it as good as Glaser brothers. It’s my favorite song.
Tonight I listened to part of the cma awards, a show that use to be the highlight of my year. Tonight it nearly broke my ears They call it country music. It's as far away from country sa hard rock. They can't even carry a tune and they sure don't know what harmony is. LORDY!!!
Agree..I cannot watch anymore...
The Country music that we learned to love is now dead!

Tompaul is the absolute best. It's a crime he is not in hall of fame.
Beautiful, so much emotion, band is exceptional.
Best harmonies ever.
Surely can't find harmony like this coming out of Nashville anymore and most certainly not the talent in this song by Tompall and his brothers. Today's carbon-copy, tight jeans wearing, shave and haircut needing phonies that are being produced by New York owned record companies have nothing new to offer Country Music but Rap lyrics.
Thank you of posting this beautiful song by such a talented group.
I wish I could give your comment more than 1 "thumbs up"! You nailed today's country music problem in one TH-cam comment!!!! Well done!
Thanks so much for getting this up! It was previously on You Tube, which, in its infinite wisdom, deleted it! This is one of the absolute greatest harmony performances I have ever seen! The Glaser Brothers were awesome...
Such a underrated talent,they will never be anymore like them or Charley Pride
I remember Eddy Arnold singing this on his radio program when I was just a little girl. I thought he was the best singer in the world. It took me all these years to learn I was wrong.

Love this song from tompall and brothers thanks for this
Such harmony...perfect
They are light years ahead of anyone else on this song 👍👌
Beautiful version!!!
We are watching the best... No question about it.
I love this group! FYI: Jim Glaser (at 73) is still singing!
Just one word -Thank you. Nice people like you keep Glaser nuts like me very happy.
It just doesn't get any better than this!
I love it.
My god, what great harmony!!!
The most perfect harmoy ever
love this song from the glaser bros thank you for this post
this just the best!!!
They just don't make them like they used to thank for the memories
The old American song by William Shakespeare Hays ( 1837 - 1907 ), " Molly Darling " is original song of the Japanese song " Fuyu no Seiza / 冬の星座. '
I think these 2 songs are very different tastes.
Should be in Hall of Fame!
the best molly daring!

I love the old stuff too!

Interesting comments re Val Doonican show. I suspect the only way to get access to this would be to pay for a 'research' copy with the timer on it - (that is, if the tapes haven't been wiped). I don't know if you have to be in the business to be able to request a research copy.
My uncle was a big fan - and introduced me to them. He told me the first time he saw them was on a UK 'George Hamilton IV' show - maybe in the late 60s - though I've never seen this surface either.
Did you see the biography on Tompall, which was written by his nephew and published last year, after his death? 'The Great Tompall'??
I have 14 albums of the lads, waiting for someone to upload "home country" From the Album The Wonderful World Of The Glaser Brothers, I have it but don't have the "nous" to upload it myself, need it to put on my phone.
Some great uploads recently of Tompal from the "rouge album".
I have read that book a few times. It is FANTASTIC and way overdue. Tompall was such a talent and has been more or less forgotten. He is the best singer I have ever heard and the Glasers together were pure magic. I spend many hours on TH-cam catching up on their beautiful music.
TheJapstrangler"Home Country" is now uploaded on TH-cam. I requested a friend upload it for you as a payback for this video. Enjoy!
linda donahue Thanks for the upload Linda, love this song, thank your friend also for taking the time to upload. Albert Whittle. The Japstrangler.
My pleasure, Albert. Always happy to help out a fellow Glaser fan. They were really something!
Linda, I hate to show my ignorance but what book are y'all talking about? I might like to read it.
Tompall's nephew Kevin Glaser wrote Tompall's biography. It was out last November, I believe. I have read it several times already. I have waited for his story to be told for many years now. The book is called "The Great Tompall: Country Music's Forgotten Outlaw". It's readily available on Amazon and has had fantastic reviews. Please get a copy. Every Tompall fan should read this. He was so very talented and much under rated and appreciated. Today is the first time I have seen your post or I would have gotten back with you sooner. Happy reading and listening, Helen.
The song dates from the era of the U S Civil War. Written by W S Hays who wrote hundreds of songs.
JapStrangler, would you be interested in selling some or all of your glaser albums? Please answer back on this clip, and maybe we could get together thru mail or something. Thanks
Couldn't part with them sorry.
Helen, I recently bought some on ebay and Amazon.. The price was fair and the albums are in great shape. I am with TheJapstrangler. I wouldn't part with any of mine either. I now proudly own 9 altogether. Good luck, my friend!
At 1/12 the steel player makes a mistake, he’s going to a IV chord instead of staying in the I chord…….whoops…..😳
Show business has a way of tearing families a part. This is one of those times. It is said that they now hate each other. I don't believe that. The old saying is "the closest thing to love is hate" How can they not still love each other after having obviously done so all their lives?
Nobody dose it bett
OMG. None like the voice of Tompaul.

I would be right There with you Linda. Not only are they the most awesome singers but, they were so handsome. Like I said... they make my heart turn flips every time I hear them.
You and me, Carol. crisscrossing the country. watching and listening to the Glasers and the Great Tompall show after incredible show!!! Now THAT would be a dream come true. If only :):):)
Like you said..if only we could. My dreams would come true. There was just something special about them. I'll never forget the first time I saw them on tv. I was walking across the room, heard their beautiful harmony, turned and just watched as they performed. I couldn't get enough. I lived in Albuquerque, NM at the time and saw the beautiful golden morning Sun on the sandia mountains and listened to them singing about that in their song. "It'll be Her" it was like heaven. Nobody even comes close.

It just doesn't get any better than this!
I love it.
Wasn't this a great find, Carol? I was so excited to see this today. Don't they sound amazing? I think I will play this all evening and let Tompall sing me to sleep. Happy, happy, happy :) :) :)
