He had a TV show; there's a clip from his Christmas show where he is singing a Christmas song with kids around him. Cute!
Grew up listening to this fella witha great big wonderful voice
Ernie Ford actually had at least 2 albums of gospel music. He does have a wonderful voice.
Man had a strong, beautiful baritone voice. Could listen to him all day.
He did sing gospel songs and he was classically trained...he was a bass-baritone
Pretty sure that's a clarinet. Tennessee was the real deal, his voice and phrasing reaches deep into our consciousness to touch a place where gentle pleasures are felt.
There were company stores & at one time. Coal miners were payed in company script. That could only be used at the company store.....probably a Cardigan sweater.
The timber towns were the same way.
Voluntary slavery. Work only to survive. Everything you have is the employers. So after 5 years of hard work you have jack shit to your name
The song itself is about a much ignored form of slavery in the past that was rampant in the US coal industry. It was based on the power of the coal companies over the local economies. They controlled the sale of goods as well as the ownership and rental of property close to the mines, impacting the cost of living for the miners. In order to buy anything they had to buy it at the company store and the company owned all the housing close to the mines making the company the landlord for most of the miners. This allowed them to overcharge the miners for housing and the basic necessities of living like food. They also took the money they were owed right out of the miners pay. As a result it was not long before the miners were so indebted to the company they could not afford to miss work. Thus the mournful final verse of the song "I owe my soul to the company store."
This resulting indentured servitude was a form of slavery that persisted for close to a century after slavery was abolished, right up until the middle of the 20th century when antitrust laws in the USA finally started to impact these industries control over their workers. This form of skimming off their labor not only cheated the workers but also has had a lasting impact on the coal regions of the USA as the wealth most communities would keep within themselves never developed and this resulted in severely impoverished regions wherever the coal mining industries were the strongest. A scar that remains to this day as some of the poorest regions in the eastern USA were once, and in some cases still are, coal mining regions.
Wasn't there also places where the workers were paid in scrip rather than regular money?
Meaning they could ONLY buy from the company store even if they managed to save a tiny bit.
Do his version of battle hymn of Republic, beautiful.
Listen to Jim Neighbors and Johnny Horton.
