Check my voice Beth xx Love George! But please check my country voice on my channel ❤❤ th-cam.com/video/HV7TAYXQvMg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=p7-osCNvKOZOx7E2 Ross😊❤
He was offered a job designing cattle pens and gave notice that he was quitting music but his wife made him give music one more year before he gave up. Record Executives would not give him a deal. He had 33 top 10 hits in a row, 22 of which were No. 1s. He has 86 top 10 hits with 44 of them being No. 1s. Man's a living legend. And it doesn't matter if he's standing in front 10 people or in a sold out arena, he sounds the same.
Great info. I remember when I was going to college in San Marcos, Tx near his home, his teen daughter was tragically killed in a car wreck. It took a toll on he and his wife but they moved on as they should...TEXAS LOVES GEORGE!! Thank you for sharing those details -- he's really been a success..
This is the sound that generations of us grew up with and it's so soothing and just feels like home. Could not be more removed from what modern country is now. George is a legend in that scene.
This entire 2001 concert was probably George Strait at his finest. He's called the "King of Country" for a reason. Strong confident voice and presence. It's worth watching all the videos from the concert.
@@24681359David I can see where your coming from but if you don't mind me asking where would you rate Keith Whitley on your list of favorite country singers
He is good, my dad was a fiddle player who actually subbed for Bob Wills a couple of times. We had a family band in Texas and Oklahoma for a total of 40 years. I lost dad in 2006, and I retired from playing, except for family reunions, in 2007. Yeah, I do miss it, but I wouldn't be able to do it anymore.
To say George was huge is an understatement, and is still amazing. This is true country music before they started with all the elements from other genres and electronic doo-hickys that they try to have today. This is the story telling of a cowboy riding the rodeo circuit which George has actually done, he's the real thing. Another one of his greatest songs is "Cross My Heart" which was my first ex-wife and my song. Still very hard for me to listen to, but it is so absolutely great.
George is a grieving father. He lost his oldest daughter when she was 13 yrs old. He wrote a song for her called “Baby Blue” that you should react to. I did not realize it happened until after I lost my youngest daughter almost 10 years ago. You become less sociable and yes private. Thank you for reacting to this song.🙏🏼🌹💕
It's a nice thought, but, unfortunately, it's not accurate. "Baby Blue" was not written by George Strait. It was written by Aaron Barker in 1984, and George's daughter was killed in 1986 - so the song could not have been written for her. As a matter of fact, when Barker wrote the song, he wasn't really aware of who George Strait was. George found out about the song from his manager, Erv Woolsey. All that aside, sorry for the loss of your daughter.
George Strait is without ANY doubt the single greatest and most successful country singer of all time. 60 No. 1s, 150 Million albums sold, King of Country, King of Texas and overall laid back, cool and kind guy.
Love George, but there is a LOT of competition for that title. For sure he should be in the running, but there must be ~ 15 at least artists that could make such a claim Perhaps more
Here in Texas, he's OUR King George. Got to see him in concert once, and it was awesome. George revived & kept alive the Texas Swing genre originated by Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys. At the concert, there was a section of the venue that was clear of chairs which served as a dance floor. His music has always been absolutely MADE for dancing, and has been a dance hall staple here for decades. ...and yes... smoothest voice in country music. ❤❤
And Cody Johnson is following right in King George footsteps..it's been a while since I have seen him in concert...I did in NC years ago where I was raised but haven't seen him since I have lived in TX
There's a sequel to this song, called "I Can Still Make Cheyenne". George Strait is one of the greatest singers in history. I've seen him in concert twice, and he's all about the music. No pyrotechnics, no dazzling light show, no props. Just him, the band, and the instruments. The only other thing on the stage, is a plain wooden stool, with his bottles of water on it.
RoGueNavy This and George were waaay back when the singers sang to their ability and did NOT rely on all the Gymnastics you see today by people who can't sing and use all the gymnastics as a diversion from he fact they cannot sing, at least he could sing nothing special typical country western but OK !!
Amarillo by Morning ,was the first country song that I really loved immediately, and opened my ears and mind to give country music some respect. Before this song by George Strait, country music for me was just a tale of woe about how my girl left me, lost my job, I get fall down drunk and my dog just died. I thought if this song is country music, I want more like this.😊
@@judyg9976If you can find it, listen to Terry Stafford's 1973 original rendition. I know you will like it. I am a huge Strait fan. However Stafford puts more soul in it. Thanks
George Strait has had 60 #1 hits and 33 platinum albums. He is my all-time favorite country singer and my 2 top songs of his are Ocean Front Property and Troubadour.
I mostly listen to metal these days, but this has been and still is one of my top five favorite songs. And George is one of the few artists I can listen to any time, no matter my mood.
That fiddle motif has almost as many fans as George himself does. The song just wouldn't be the same without it, puts it in that "high lonesome" country-western vernacular.
That fiddle part is also hard to teach yourself. My husband has tried to find videos of it but nobody actually shows how to play it. You either know or you don't. One of the most haunting handful of fiddle notes in country music.
George truly is a humble and nice man. I had the opportunity to sit down with him not long after his daughter was killed in a car accident (I was a country DJ at the time) and that is my favorite interview. He is an amazing artist as well and I hope you'll react to more of him. The song that kicked off his stardom is "Unwound" if you want to hear an upbeat song of his.
From 1988 to the early 2000's, I went to 21 George Strait concerts. I saw him 11 years in a row at the George Strait Team Roping Classic in Kingsville Texas. Those were the best shows ever. It was a small indoor arena where they packed the dirt floor after the rodeo and set up a stage. It was standing room only and you could get to within a few feet of the stage and George. Great memories.
Beth, he’s singing about competing in saddle bronc riding in a rodeo. The rider and horse each earn up to 50 points. The horse and rider with the highest points win the event. The desire to compete took a toll on singer’s love life.
He is not just country he is the KING OF COUNTRY and these facts will tell you why. He was ranked in the top 10 or 20th spot as richest among all Singers of all time. He and sold more 60 million # 1 singles more then any singer of ALL GENRES .Sold over 33 platinum or multi-platinum Albums 3rd most only behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley.*** note As far as Total Albums Garth Brooks has moved into #1 spot in country music recently over Strait). Lastly; He is the only singer in history to have a top 10 hit every year for 30 years and there is much more.
George is the MAN says this ol' Texas boy. Amarillo is around 100 miles north of me. George brought me back around to good ol' country music. I LOVE the violin in this song. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
I think George has a new fan. I like how she analytically dissects what he does with his voice while at the same time obviously being emotionally touched by what she’s listing to. Nice.
Morning from America! Such a sweet country pop song..co-written by the late Terry Stafford ('Suspicion' singer) who had some success when he sang it in a somewhat twangy country way. Then came George Strait..his version, his reputation, adding the moving affects from the fiddle...massive hit. Just love this song.
King George is the most consistent singer in Country Music. He's as good today as he was when this song came out in '72. in 2009 he recorded a Mexican song called "El Rey" that you might like.
Used to sing this song in my mind while hiking, thumbing, or hopping freight in the western half of USA! Including trips through Amarillo. Got to see George in concert later when I settled down!
Such a SMOOTH voice! Not a huge country fan, but my wife and daugthers are; went to a concert, and became a fan! So many #1 hits, they might have stopped around 50 - 60! So enjoyable!
He has so much good material and a fair amount of variety. He's got some real bangers too. Adelida, All My Exes Live in Texas, Am I Blue, The Fireman, The Chair, Cold Fort Worth Beer, on and on.
OMG girl have you lived under a rock. He is probably the only artist that can hold the crowd of thousands with just him and his guitar. No fancy frilly stage antics just him, his voice and his guitar.
So happy you're covering King George - its obvious why he is the King of Country. I had the honor of spending a couple of hours with him at his house here in San Antonio several years ago, and boy, was he the very kindest and coolest guy to hang with. We need more country folk like him. Keep up the great work!
I Enjoy hearing the reactions of British people when listening to Country Music! You being a vocal coach and enjoying country vocalists...Try listening to Daryle Singletary's "I let her lie", or Keith Whitley's early LIVE version of a song called "I Never Go Around Mirrors". The way you are complimenting George Strait, You'll lose your mind over the vocal control and deep, rich country vocals in both of these artists. Really enjoying your reaction videos!
I have always been more of a rock fan, but George Strait has a ton of good songs and it was impossible not to like his stuff. I hadn't heard this one, but have heard a number of the songs other folks have listed in the comments, and I hope you get a chance to listen to some of them as well!
Amazing to hear her sail boldly into another universe and deconstruct what she hears and make it her own, and of course, her voice is so supple and amazing, sounds so effortless. And she's talking about George Strait! Like a boy from New Hampshire reacting to a parade with the Queen Mother.
King of Country The Best Ever. Amarillo By Morning is his #1 requested song. and might I add really puts in the Best Show. He Cares about the people that spend their money to come see him preform.
It's been said that George Strait could sing the phone book and make it sound good. He has been my fav singer and I've loved this man's voice for over 30 years. His accomplishments 60 #1 hits, record breaking sell outs, most CMA award wins, he's earned 60 major music awards. His selling stature ranks up there with Elvis, Garth Brooks and the Beatles. These plus other accomplishments is why he's called King George.
One of the best country singer there has ever been he’s not flashy and does not do anything but stand there and sing and that’s all he has to do his voice is mesmerizing and just suck you into a different world with every song he songs. Got front row seats at his music festival in 2000’s and he was just great.
My absolute favorite George Strait song... I would call radio stations to have it played. My wedding song was also GS, "I Cross My Heart". Have fun with the country! They tell a story when they sing, so many of them are actors, too. :D
This is such a good insight! I had never put that into words, and I'm a story teller writer and word guy. In opera it's the music and maybe later we'll pay attention to the story, but thanks for saying this, because you've said so much with so little. The singing still has to be right, but it's the supporting actress. It has to know its place. Thank you tuguy, from Tucson Alan.
he’s referred to as KING GEORGE in the states he is considered the undisputed king of country music i lost count of his #1 singles he has out and he does aloft of songs about rodeos as well he is a very accomplished calf roper as well as team roper which are both rodeo events
My favorite George Strait song and probably my favorite country song of all times, especially being a Texan. I’ve played this song bunches with my band and even more in solo performances. Even at home it’s the first song I play when I pick up my guitar.
"Beautiful and wholesome" is not a bad thing for which to strive. Your viewpoints, while not always ageed to, are a constant food for thought. Thank you. I have never seen one of your videos that I have not enjoyed. Some of them even tought me something new.
We used to go see him at the different dancehalls in and around the hill country long before he hit the big time. He is also one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. He is definitely in my daily rotation.
If you go back and check how he got started, it was because Dolly Parton had canceled a performance at the Houston livestock show on rodeo and he lives around Houston area or close by and they called him to take her place. That’s what got him noticed the Houston livestock show on rodeoin Texas
Saw him in Columbus OH years ago. He is great. He doesn't run around stage like some others do. He sings a song. Applause. "Thank you." Starts the next song. This goes on for a few hours.

And gives same attention
And has never written a song in his life. He makes other people's songs #1. I ain't hating Jorge!
May Almighty God Bless his wife for this..
He just set the record for attendance at a paid concert woth 110,905 paying fans in attendance
He just broke the record in the USA with most attendance in a concert. 110, 908 total.
I saw him on his current tour. He hasn't lost a single step. The whole show knocked my socks off.
This is the sound that generations of us grew up with and it's so soothing and just feels like home. Could not be more removed from what modern country is now. George is a legend in that scene.
"just feels like home". You summed it up perfectly.
This entire 2001 concert was probably George Strait at his finest. He's called the "King of Country" for a reason. Strong confident voice and presence. It's worth watching all the videos from the concert.
I've heard people say he's only known a king George due to Kieth Whitleys untimely demise
@@kennethabebdroth8513George has a better voice in my opinion. There's a reason he has 60 #1's. No one else in any genre has ever done that.
@@24681359David I can see where your coming from but if you don't mind me asking where would you rate Keith Whitley on your list of favorite country singers
@@kennethabebdroth8513 No one will ever sing country music better than Keith Whitley.
As much as I love George and his music. I have to throw my hat in the ring for Hank Williams sr.
Beth, my wife (who's a redhead) just walked in while I was watching this. She said, Oh, your with your other redhead. Cracked me up.
Never needed gimmicks. Just pure talent and class.
100%
My wife's cousin, Terry Stafford wrote this song. He originally performed it with Spanish horns instead of the fiddle. And yes, we live in Amarillo
He never had the success he deserved.
My dad worked for George managed ranch south Texas great memories for me team roped with him sometimes fun!!
Love Terry's version, Chris LeDoux's, and George's my favorite song of all time. Loved it 40 some yrs ago and will have it played at my funeral
I like his version.
Terry Stafford sang "Suspicion" better than Elvis. Terry Stafford, son of Amarillo and most talented.
King George! He has so many amazing songs ❤
That fiddler is pure gold! 🔥
That melody is heavenly
he is indeed Gene Elder puts goose bumps on my soul with this song
Sad he’s gone now
He is good, my dad was a fiddle player who actually subbed for Bob Wills a couple of times.
We had a family band in Texas and Oklahoma for a total of 40 years.
I lost dad in 2006, and I retired from playing, except for family reunions, in 2007.
Yeah, I do miss it, but I wouldn't be able to do it anymore.

His is one of the best concerts I've ever attended. It was so personable, no theatrics or light shows. Just a guitar and a band and him singing.
Saw him in Seattle this Summer. Great show.
Can confirm. His show was the most simple concert I've ever seen, but I still loved every second!
George is a grieving father. He lost his oldest daughter when she was 13 yrs old. He wrote a song for her called “Baby Blue” that you should react to. I did not realize it happened until after I lost my youngest daughter almost 10 years ago.

Love George, but there is a LOT of competition for that title. For sure he should be in the running, but there must be ~ 15 at least artists that could make such a claim
Perhaps more
Hank Sr is above George, and maybe Cash is, but that's the extent of it. Waylon was a better songwriter, but George has the better voice.
@@addictedsGamingCornerYeah, but Garth did not stay at the top so long. George kept touring from the late 70s until now.
@@bfg5291George has better voice than Cash I think. Waylon is nearly equal on vocals. Hank Sr’s voice I like, but not more than George.

There's a sequel to this song, called "I Can Still Make Cheyenne". George Strait is one of the greatest singers in history. I've seen him in concert twice, and he's all about the music. No pyrotechnics, no dazzling light show, no props. Just him, the band, and the instruments. The only other thing on the stage, is a plain wooden stool, with his bottles of water on it.

And he doesn’t extend the song forever like a lot of concerts. He sang it just like on the radio.
Greatest of any genre, I think, too

They don't call him The King of country music for no reason. He has had the most number 1 songs of any artist in all genres of music, 60 in total.

George Strait has had 60 #1 hits and 33 platinum albums. He is my all-time favorite country singer and my 2 top songs of his are Ocean Front Property and Troubadour.
All hail King George! Amarillo By Morning is my absolute favorite of his songs. I've yet to hear a bad song from him. Love, love, love!
I’ve been seeing George live regularly since 1983 always a great performer with great songs.
King of Country Goerge Strait. Every song is simply amazing
I mostly listen to metal these days, but this has been and still is one of my top five favorite songs. And George is one of the few artists I can listen to any time, no matter my mood.
Well stated !
My friends, who are brothers, own a ground transportation company . They drive George often. They say what a great guy he is.
One of my all-time favorite male country singers along with Alan Jackson and Mark Chesnutt.
Yes.
Love Alan Jackson. Alan and George together is just about as good as it gets. Please analyis a Alan Jackson song Beth.

Beth, he’s singing about competing in saddle bronc riding in a rodeo. The rider and horse each earn up to 50 points. The horse and rider with the highest points win the event. The desire to compete took a toll on singer’s love life.
Hence the "I'll be looking for eight, when they pull that gate..." (eight seconds (at least) on the bronc).
This song could ALSO be about a Bull Rider !!@@jessieball6195

You nailed it! George Strait is called the good guy in the white hat.
George... what a great voice and band .
I've lived in Amarillo my whole life. This song put us on the map. Thanks George.
My favorite George Strait song. Thanks Beth Great Review. Your the best dear Lady.
Being from Amarillo TX this song always hits me in the feels . So humble and great just like the city
King George is the most consistent singer in Country Music. He's as good today as he was when this song came out in '72. in 2009 he recorded a Mexican song called "El Rey" that you might like.
KING GEORGE !!!!
The fiddle is so beautiful and so haunting I love this song so much it gets me emotional everytime especially the fiddle at end
All hail King George,the last bastion of classic country!💘💘💘
Used to sing this song in my mind while hiking, thumbing, or hopping freight in the western half of USA! Including trips through Amarillo. Got to see George in concert later when I settled down!
I absolutely love this version of this song. I'm so glad you got to experience it. :)
The Voice. Such a strong, smooth, rich comfortable sound.
The most handsome man in country music! Even in his 70s !!!
Thanks for the video. Interesting that San Antonio to Amarillo is roughly London to Paris and back again.
Such a SMOOTH voice! Not a huge country fan, but my wife and daugthers are; went to a concert, and became a fan! So many #1 hits, they might have stopped around 50 - 60! So enjoyable!

When you have been singing as long as George Strait, singing is second nature. He has been signing since the 1960s.
For what it’s worth love, George Strait is the king of country music!!!
He’s the epitome of country royalty. Humble, gracious and a flawless voice
Danced a million miles to this song. They played it in every honky tonk in Texas.
He's a country music legend and a true Texan and still lives in Texas even after he became famous.
I Enjoy hearing the reactions of British people when listening to Country Music! You being a vocal coach and enjoying country vocalists...Try listening to Daryle Singletary's "I let her lie", or Keith Whitley's early LIVE version of a song called "I Never Go Around Mirrors".

He Cares about the people that spend their money to come see him preform.

Love it when folks discover King George. He is an absolute legend.

My absolute favorite George Strait song... I would call radio stations to have it played. My wedding song was also GS, "I Cross My Heart". Have fun with the country! They tell a story when they sing, so many of them are actors, too. :D
My absolute favorite cover of this song; George had a way of making this song his own.
So happy you've got round to George 😊
George understands that it is the story that is king in a country song. The singing takes second place ,
This is such a good insight! I had never put that into words, and I'm a story teller writer and word guy. In opera it's the music and maybe later we'll pay attention to the story, but thanks for saying this, because you've said so much with so little. The singing still has to be right, but it's the supporting actress. It has to know its place. Thank you tuguy, from Tucson Alan.
He is just the best. I saw him in concert decadeS ago in Emporia Kansas. A very intimate type setting. It was fantastic.
So many good artists out of Texas, probably something in the water.
This is one of my all time favorites that he sings ❤🥰😘❤️
he’s referred to as KING GEORGE in the states he is considered the undisputed king of country music i lost count of his #1 singles he has out and he does aloft of songs about rodeos as well he is a very accomplished calf roper as well as team roper which are both rodeo events
My favorite George Strait song and probably my favorite country song of all times, especially being a Texan. I’ve played this song bunches with my band and even more in solo performances. Even at home it’s the first song I play when I pick up my guitar.
Another great country artist is Chris LeDoux, he's a true rodeo cowboy, won a world championship in saddle bronc, and made a career in music
second that suggestion. Love needs a fool is one of my favourites
💯
I don't know who's version of Amarillo By Morning I like more - Strait's or LeDoux's. Both are country classics.
Died young too.
When did Chris sing Amarillo by Morning? I've searched and can't find a version he sung. @@RyanPetrynka
He is the King of Country for many reasons.....
"Beautiful and wholesome" is not a bad thing for which to strive. Your viewpoints, while not always ageed to, are a constant food for thought. Thank you. I have never seen one of your videos that I have not enjoyed. Some of them even tought me something new.
We used to go see him at the different dancehalls in and around the hill country long before he hit the big time. He is also one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. He is definitely in my daily rotation.
If you go back and check how he got started, it was because Dolly Parton had canceled a performance at the Houston livestock show on rodeo and he lives around Houston area or close by and they called him to take her place. That’s what got him noticed the Houston livestock show on rodeoin Texas
You must listen to Enkh Erdene on Mongolias Got Talent which he won ! You cannot believe his voice !!!
I was at this concert after attending the Rodeo in Houston. Great show, but didn't realize how great George was at the time.
96 in the Astrodome .......
The greatest performance of the greatest song in country music history
He is the KING of country. He has more number 1 hits than ANY OTHER ARTIST IN ANY GENRE OF MUSIC EVER, with ov 61 number 1 hits!!!!
Gentlemen George, one of the Best!
the King of Country with one of his all time greats!! About 70 million albums later
Wonderful review. Thanks for posting Beth, more country music please.
Saw him in Columbus OH years ago. He is great. He doesn't run around stage like some others do. He sings a song. Applause. "Thank you." Starts the next song. This goes on for a few hours.
the king of country
I loved watching the enjoyment in your face as you watched this.
He's also a champion bareback rider. Although he's never written his own songs he and his song writer were so close he may as well have!
