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😊❤
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.
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..
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.
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.
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
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.
I work at his alma mater (largely poorer students) and keep hearing about random scholarships and programs funded by him on the down low. The music program gave him an honorary doctorate, and he tried to turn it down.
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
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.
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!
I think old voice in country is lost......you see....you didn't have to be computer perfect. You had to be unique and soulful and use your own God given voice. This makes legends....not perfection....character and soul. Always remember that. GOD BLESS TEXAS!!
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
American Country Western music was born in the same land you were Ms. Beth. It came to our shores with the Scots, the Irish, and the English. In the soils of the New World the music of the old world found new expression. A great reaction by the way. Thank You.
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.
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.
I also noticed how George slides or yodels his way into higher notes and am able to do this as well and have had many of compliments on my deployment of this technique. Of course nobody does it as well as King George. It’s especially helpful for me to slide into the C notes, which I normally try to avoid hitting straight on.
To get the jist of George Strait, you really should watch the motion picture he is in called "Pure Country." Co-stars Isabel Glasser and was Rory Calhoun's final picture. Truly a work of art. You'll not be sorry you watched it.
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.
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
When my boys were young I had certain group of singers at hand when the would argue in the back seat. George, Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton. Instant stop. My sons were over and my middle son and his wife started having a disagreement ( not common). I change the song to ring of fire. My sons started laughing and sang the whole song together. His wife eventually smiled, It still works after 25 years!
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
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.
I saw George over the summer with 80k plus other people with Chris Stapleton as an opening act. They did a few songs together each night during the tour. Even in his 70s he sounded just as good as ever.
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.
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.
If you want to do an entire album reaction, do his soundtrack to Pure Country. The movie he starred in. I was able to work concessions at his music festival at the Alamodome in ‘95. Amazing!!!
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!
My love for country music brought me here. I enjoyed your reaction. I look forward to other country reactions and more. God bless 🙏 🇺🇲 Edit: As much as i love George and his music. There is only one king of country in my eyes. Hank Williams sr.
Another country singer who makes great expressive use of his voice is Dwight Yoakum...check out "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" and his genre-bending rockabilly take on the Motown classic, "The Locomotion"...
My sister dated a guy in college that was George Strait's neighbor. He's exactly as you described. Private and quiet. But he said that his wife makes an amazing peach pie.
Thank you so much for pointing out the importance of taking breaks. Of course, the only way to learn a n ew skill is to practice regularly and it's important to develop discipline while you're learning the fundamentals, but once you have them down, you need to take time off now and then. Otherwise, you just end up plateauing and burning out. In fact, the only reliable way that I've found to break out of a plateau is to take time away and come back with a new perspective.

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.
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.

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.
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
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 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.

Never needed gimmicks. Just pure talent and class.
100%
Grew up in Houston in the 80’s George Strait was everywhere
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.

The Voice. Such a strong, smooth, rich comfortable sound.
King George! He has so many amazing songs ❤
When you have been singing as long as George Strait, singing is second nature. He has been signing since the 1960s.
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!

She just realizing what all of George’s fans have loved for years
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.
He had 0 number 1 hits, he did have nr 1s on the country charts
So many good artists out of Texas, probably something in the water.
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

@@shannonpendleton7865 It is the first "country" song I've ever heard where the "fiddle" is played like and sounds like a violin.
Love the way that she's critiquing one of the greatest country singers of all time. Really
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.
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.
Garth Brooks would like to have a Word lol
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.
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 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.

George is on the country music MOUNT RUSHMORE
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.
the king of country
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.
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
He is the King of Country for many reasons.....
Doesn't get any bigger than George Strait. Legend.
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.
"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.
I’ve been seeing George live regularly since 1983 always a great performer with great songs.
Thanks for the video. Interesting that San Antonio to Amarillo is roughly London to Paris and back again.
I absolutely love this version of this song. I'm so glad you got to experience it. :)
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!
American Country Western music was born in the same land you were Ms. Beth. It came to our shores with the Scots, the Irish, and the English. In the soils of the New World the music of the old world found new expression. A great reaction by the way. Thank You.
I'm glad you're learning. So smart to start with the best!
The King of country! Thank you for choosing George Strait and this song.
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.
Gorgeous 😍 😍 ❤George Strait
He’s the epitome of country royalty. Humble, gracious and a flawless voice
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.
I'm so glad you're starting off with the classics!
Just in case you didn't know, being young and all. The standard joke was "if you play a country song backwards, you get your wife and dog back...".
Nice commentary about the three notes common in country music. I have never noticed, but now you mention it I will listen for it.
I also noticed how George slides or yodels his way into higher notes and am able to do this as well and have had many of compliments on my deployment of this technique. Of course nobody does it as well as King George. It’s especially helpful for me to slide into the C notes, which I normally try to avoid hitting straight on.
SOY MEXICANO 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 Y ESTA CANCIÓN ES UNA DE MIS FAVORITAS 🥺🥺🥺🥺
To get the jist of George Strait, you really should watch the motion picture he is in called "Pure Country." Co-stars Isabel Glasser and was Rory Calhoun's final picture. Truly a work of art. You'll not be sorry you watched it.
You must listen to Enkh Erdene on Mongolias Got Talent which he won ! You cannot believe his voice !!!
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.
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
I was at this concert after attending the Rodeo in Houston. Great show, but didn't realize how great George was at the time.
When my boys were young I had certain group of singers at hand when the would argue in the back seat. George, Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton. Instant stop. My sons were over and my middle son and his wife started having a disagreement ( not common). I change the song to ring of fire. My sons started laughing and sang the whole song together. His wife eventually smiled, It still works after 25 years!
I've always thought that George was more Western Swing than Country, but no doubt, he's a legend!
You need to dive into his catalogue. A great singer with a long career.
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
The most handsome man in country music! Even in his 70s !!!
Wow me encanta esta voz apropiada a este estilo de de música Country bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀
I say practice only makes perfect if you practice perfectly.
Omg I have been waiting for you to react to King George for a long time!
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.
I saw George over the summer with 80k plus other people with Chris Stapleton as an opening act. They did a few songs together each night during the tour. Even in his 70s he sounded just as good as ever.
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.
Yes!!!❤
And let's not forget the breakout "Oceanfront Property".
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.
you do such a great job.
Simply the King of Country
You have opened a rabbit hole. Try any of his 60+ number 1 hits.
King George...the greatest of all time!
please view the following....Peter Paul and Mary The wedding Song
She is now another George Strait fan. See how that works.
If you want to do an entire album reaction, do his soundtrack to Pure Country. The movie he starred in. I was able to work concessions at his music festival at the Alamodome in ‘95. Amazing!!!
He is the real thing a Texas Cowboy for real!!!
All hail King George,the last bastion of classic country!💘💘💘
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!
My love for country music brought me here. I enjoyed your reaction. I look forward to other country reactions and more. God bless 🙏 🇺🇲 Edit: As much as i love George and his music. There is only one king of country in my eyes. Hank Williams sr.
Texas legend right there.
You nailed it! George Strait is called the good guy in the white hat.
Country music's true gentleman. Love his voice.
The " yodel" was very prominent in the early country music.Jimmy Rogers the father of country music had several songs with yodel in the title .
I heard "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" probably 40 years ago. All Hail King George, because he surely is the King of Country.
Another country singer who makes great expressive use of his voice is Dwight Yoakum...check out "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" and his genre-bending rockabilly take on the Motown classic, "The Locomotion"...
She did a reaction to Dwight covering The Beach Boys. It’s a great reaction.
Nice. Asleep at the Wheel did a good version of this song, too.
My sister dated a guy in college that was George Strait's neighbor. He's exactly as you described. Private and quiet. But he said that his wife makes an amazing peach pie.
George... what a great voice and band .
George strait is a wormhole
Thank you so much for pointing out the importance of taking breaks. Of course, the only way to learn a n ew skill is to practice regularly and it's important to develop discipline while you're learning the fundamentals, but once you have them down, you need to take time off now and then. Otherwise, you just end up plateauing and burning out. In fact, the only reliable way that I've found to break out of a plateau is to take time away and come back with a new perspective.
I saw him in concert in 1993 at Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo in Wyoming. He was just awesome
Another good song from him is all my exs live in Texas
King George!
King George!
Ahh. The only King George that I love.
