- John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 - November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably in 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and in 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". His first hit, a number 1 song in 1959, was "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)".
During 1960, Horton had two other successes with "North to Alaska" for John Wayne's movie, North to Alaska, and "Sink the Bismarck". Horton is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame

He is one of the best singers in the last 100 years . The range in his voice is unbelievable.
It's that adams apple. watch it bounce in and out. lol.
Johnny Horton ... most under appreciated singer of all time. A legend!
John McIlroy totally agree friend
He is my distant cousin
i 100% agree most people don't even know who he is anymore one day i was humming sink the bismarck and my boss stopped and looked up and asked be what i was humming when i replied he smiled and walked away next week i for a 1.75 hourly wage increase
Friedrich Wilhelm that’s incredible i got 4 A+’s in my wood works class because the teacher saw that on my phone i had “if the south woulda won”
What a true original!! To all the thumbs down you must be idiots or listen to this new Tractor Rap Crap or both😁
He was a high school history teacher, who used music to teach his students about America’s past. I wish I had a teacher like that.
@Gaming Videos Not even the same person. The racist singer Johnny Rebel that sung those songs died in 2016. The man in this video Johnny Horton who was FAR from racist died in 1960.
RB you certainly need a teacher in music history, because you are abolutely wrong, here.
Queria ter um professor assim
Actually that was another man,not Mr.Horton.Johnny Horton loved the songs of Huddy "Leadbelly"Ledbetter,New Orleans black bluesman from the 1930s.He was not a schoolteacher,that was an older man whose songs Johnny covered.Mr.Horton recorded Ledbelly's song Rock Island Line and he was not a racist.
@@Amoeba744 johnny rebel continues to tarnish the names of david allen coe, johnny horton… and even weird al in the age of misinformation
Johnny Horton sang about history and the truth. A true American.
Regardless of how you feel about politics this song sings the praise of the courage of the southern soldier. All soldiers die brave men regardless of what side you're on.
Amen
@@johnlewis2868 Great reply !
Losers. They fly the wrong flag. They flew the white flag
@@dickieknutz2933 They died fighting for something they believed in.
@J. J. Hallo The ideology of why they are fighting has nothing to do with the bravery of the foot soldier. Courage is courage regardless of what it's for. You're confused. The Japanese were one of the bravest if not the bravest soldiers of ww2 but their reason for fighting was questionable. I salute their bravery but I do not admire their cause.
I feel like I'm talking to third graders......
Southern Pride here in South Carolina!!!
The first time I heard Johnny Horton sing. I was hooked for life. When other kids were listening to 80s rock. I Was listening to the Great Johnny Horton.
I listen to him and I am 9 years old
This is the America I grew up in. I miss it a lot.
Me too I hope God comes soon, real soon.
Hello Oklahoma... I'm from Ft. Smith... been to the reservqation many many times ... Love Johnny Horton
Yeah conservatives and liberals ruined it both of them can fuck offf
This was my world growing up wish it had never changed
gl
No one ever doubted the courage of Johnny Reb. Merely the cause they died for. Call them lots of things disparaging but you can never call them cowards.
Amen
'Merely the cause they died for' I grew up talking with the children of Confederate Veterans and I am from a long line of Veterans. Some fought for the Americans and some fought for the Brits during the Revolutionary War. Some fought for the South and some for the North during the War of Northern Aggression. Reading and hearing their stories ( first hand in one case) convinced me that the War of Northern Aggression was not simply about slavery. Many in the South never owned slaves and two of the largest slave owners were Black themselves. No, to reduce this to merely a fight over slavery is to dishonor the Americans (North and South) who died for their beliefs.
@@michaelmatthews5814 History not many know and fewer want to admit.
@@michaelmatthews5814 amen!
@@michaelmatthews5814 100% horseshit. The South fired first. "War of Northern Aggression" my ass.
OMG!!! I had forgotten about this song. My daddy was a long haul truck driver and his CB handle was "johnny reb". He did this for 50 to 60 years or more. He was well known by all the truckers back in the day.
Rest in peace, daddy. My own johnny reb. 😘
My Brother Raymond was a Long Haul Trucker also. His CB Handle was DIXIE. He had a plate on his truck with “DiIXIE” on it. I have it in my back window. I’m guessing some think I’m honoring the South with that tag. Yes, but mostly my brother Raymond.
My family fought for the North and South in the Civil War........I respect and honor both.
Lots of families had sons on both side praying that they wouldn't see their brother in their sights one day.
@@doughesson Very true, but sadly some did.
@@montanamountainmen6104 My family was one of them. My great great Grandfather & his brother were both at Gettysburg & made it through. Amos deserted after he didn't see any Rebel uniforms after Pickett's charge & his brother lost an arm to a rebel bullet.
@@doughesson Nice family history.
And they were all decent Americans...not tearing down our society with disgusting acceptance of evil.
He could have had many more hits, but his life was cut short. What a voice.
Absolutely Buddy Holly as well.
Whoever Johnny sang about, he did it with respect and reverence!
There is NO music like old music. Back when it was about life before money. Gotta love OL Johnny
way to go!! great message about johnny horton !!
Well said brother.
I can’t believe how bad music is now
You obviously know nothing about the music industry from "back when", naive fool.
@@thatpillowguy773there's some good stuff amongst the trash but country died in 2003
What a voice. & so handsome too.
How are you feeling today
this'll make a southern boy shed a tear. God bless Robert E Lee.
This is a song about brave men and on both sides, I am confederate and I love this song cause it ain't about hate
Im 85 and I love this music and ill his songs
Died too young
I'm Hispanic and so driven towards this sound. I feel like I can relate in some wierd way, I feel connected to Johnny reb in the south.
Even 50 years later, this still gives me shivers and goosebumps.
70 years later
I knew of Johnny at age 11 am 72 now still love all his songs. So talented. Miss him.
Hes my favorite singer i miss him
I knew of Mr.Horton at the age of fifteen I'm now sixteen.
He’s buried right near my Grandparents. Has a big Guitar head stone....
Where were he buried
He is a good ol boy
I love this song where are the true country singers now the ones at sung with heart and soul
Mike Frazier Hank Williams Jr step daddy
God bless that patriot.
I firmly believe if he hadn't died so young he would have been as big as Hank or cash
This has always been my most favorite song since I first heard it when I was just 5,,,I am 65 now and it still remains MY song. Been a Reb all my life thus far.
The purpose of the Confederacy was to keep slavery going forever. Jefferson Davis said so himself. There are better “lost causes” to sympathize with. Like, ones that actually existed. Which the “lost cause of the Confederacy” never did.
Johnny Horton was the very first record I ever bought. Don't even remember how old I was. maybe 12? (money from my paper route) It's 2022 I still listen to his greatest hits album
I'm British and I love this song. Great to hear Johnny sing it live. Thanks.
I am Danish and don't love this song.
@@dkxilef Why
I remember being introduced to Johnny Horton's greatest songs as a young kid by my father. I remember sitting in the living room with my dad listening to Horton's Greatest Hits 8 track while mom was cooking dinner. The smell of pork steak, fried potatoes, and biscuits cooking and listening to great music reminded me that life was good. Miss and love you mom and dad and RIP Mr. Horton.
Yes he's one of the best singer you can have has a very beautifully songs you dont hear this songs any where #1my favorites one in the world love all his songs.a wonderful person can sing this song that is history. Congrats Johnny Horton.❤
Excellent singer and guitarist and banjo player. The greatest song writer along with Hank Williams Sr. He had three excellent movies made from his songs. I was 13 when I first heard him in 1960- a Seattle born
Heritage NOT Hate.
Hell Yeah! Im Proud Of My Southern Heritage And Southern Pride And Im Proud Of My Great And Awesome Ancestors And I Will Always Honor My Great And Awesome Ancestors And I Will Always Show Respect To Them And Support Them And I Will Always Fly My Confederate Flags Heritage Not Hate I Live And Die Here In Dixieland I Will Always Take A Stand Here In Dixieland!
peace and love Louisiana here , love my boot shape state, born and raised here learned how to hunt,fish & trap . During the summer we bullfroging run trout lines,yo-yos & jugging, freezer full of deer, rabbits,squirrels, ducks, redfish ,speckle trout, bullbream, warmouths, flathead catfish homemade deer sausage. Now I’m teaching my son what was past on down to me, we reload ammo together practice shooting as much as we can teaching him about safety when handling a firearm. Stay safe out there and keep your head on a swivel.
@@bammohammo let's look at the percentage% of violence in hip hop culture and the certain individuals who embrace & live by it. Then let's look at the percentage% of country music culture and decide which one is more violent, Shell we. It's a shame that certain individuals would embrace such a violent culture as hip hop.
C. J. Trahan
@@bammohammo I think you're referring to the artist Johnny Rebel (this is Johnny Horton singing the song Johnny Reb).
I am a descendant of President Davis's army. I will never be ashamed to love Dixie or her flag. And when the rebel flag is outlawed, I'll proudly be called a rebel because I will never disown my heritage! Dio Vindice!
@Nobby Heads
If you think the confederacy had anything in common with a group of pure evil individuals who murdered 7 million innocent people, you're a complete idiot
@Nobby Heads
Lol, you're a pathetic little troll, trying to pick a fight or get some sort of reaction. But I am not interested in having a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
@Nobby Heads you’re a lying socialist just like hitler. Germany has never been anything but a pita to the rest of the world. It is the home of modern bigotry. All bigots look to Germany for directions. Many socialist too. It was the destruction of human civilization in Europe multiple times.
@@talisikid1618 .
Does that translate: God vindicated? I love languages, well at least some of them. I love your comment by the way. Right on.
John,
I think it's about time you start to earn your keep around here...
"Just turn me aloose Im flat ready."
He's always ready friends,
And there you have it!
I like that quirky guy.
Horton sounds flat confident.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Johnny Horton, I heard your song, when I was 9 years old, back in 1959. Thank you for your upload.
RIP Johnny you were an amazing country singer
It's a shame that we can't have a lesson in why people wrote songs and what the words actually meant . 😢 I cry for out young people who are being taught to hate each other because they look different. We are all Americans so we should all just be red white and blue ! Good bless the USA 🇱🇷🦅🙏❤️
Nah, those days are over..My generation despises the American northern government..
Died way before his time RIP Johnny
Fought for your folks but didn’t die in vain, even though you lost they speak highly of your name 🇺🇸
One of the best singers ever, a true American, hero just a perfect individual, all his song were the best.
I grew up listening to his music my parents played, I l9ved it always made me proud to be from the South. I never looked at the Civil war as political growing I always thought of the flag as a symbol of the South not racist in any way, I can't stand Democrats or anything they are about but i will always love the South our Southern way of life, Johnny Hortons songs and President Trump, he win the election by the way!!!
Well said. It is the flag of freedom. Deo Vindice!
It’s a flag of treason and the embodiment of white Supremacist,I will take a big 💩 on every confederate flag I see, and I hope every confederate soldier is 🔥in hell as we speak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
An amazing singer with an amazing voice that would sadly never grow old.
Raise the flag of Dixie high above the trees and let it wave from sea to shining sea. If it's good enough for Jackson and good enough for Lee then hotdamn Alabam it's good enough for me!
sir your poem is excellent and should be in a civil war movie!! this canadian gives you an honorable salute soldier !! forwaaaarrd maaaarrrchh!!
Awesome southern brother!!!
A wonderful tribute to our Southern heroes & their history. Education is the key.
Great entertainer with a great song. God bless the South
god bless you sir for honoring the south!! a confederate salute to you from the great white north!!
@@majorreb6616 Yes, let us honor the villains who forced Asians to fight their losing war at gunpoint!
There's no debate. That man had a beautiful voice and could sing.
To all the Confederates that lost their lives in that war rest in peace and may God bless you for your sacrifice
Amen, they fought with valor and distinction.
Bruce Sexton and the union alike, as both were fighting for what they thought was right.
@@jamesvangurpan1959 Yes, and Lincoln allowed it so he is guilty, too.
J Wimbish that’s just your hate, not north vs south. You’d be surprised if you actually knew how much of the “north” is conservative in every aspect.
@ВЕСЕЛЬЕ ВЕСЕЛЬЕ Real intelligent debate you have. Wow! Impressive....
Greatest of the Rockabilly singers
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb!
The beauty of this song is that it’s a song for the boots.
Taken in that context, it is fantastic, no matter your prejudices.
Especially if you consider the boots didn’t have shoes.
Still touches me after all these years. God bless our dear south.
You can pull down pull down their statues and change all the army bases names.However you cannot earase the bravery and courage of the Southern soldiers in the Civil War.!
By soldiers you mean traitors right?
They took up arms to kill Americans
@@lordrayden3045 -- You Idiot. They to were Americans.
I Grew up listening to him as a Kid thanks to my Father who had his Album which got played on the Record player.
One of the great male singers of all time. He had that ability to effortlessly go to that rough edge voice on songs like Battle of New Orleans, Sink the Bizmark, Johnny Reb, etc. And just shear beauty on songs like North to Alaska, Whispering Pines, All For The Love Of A Girl, Comanche, etc. Left us way too soon. Personally I put him right up there with Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash, Eric Burdon, Steve Marriott, Ian Gillain and many others.
Wow pure classic
Love Jonny Horton's music. He's 1 of the best
"even though you lost, they speak highly of your name." That's being changed lately.
@Nobby Heads Why would Republicans celebrate the confederates losing the war? Lincoln was a republican, don't you mean republicans celebrate winning the war? Or do you mean democrats are still lamenting losing the war to the north, considering democrats were the confederacy?
@@annereilley4892 in the immediate aftermath of the war the Union soldiers almost universally forgave the Confederates. It was Union and Confederate veterans combined who started the tradition of reenacting battles, for example. There was no hate remaining between the sides that actually survived the war.
Which is why it is so obnoxious that you come here trying to imply things and saying it is weird for Republicans to not hate the Confederates.
@@robertmartin8907 Oh I see your confusion. You're reading my response to someone who deleted their comment. Their comment didn't make sense, so my comment probably doesn't make sense without it.
He probably deleted it because I made him realize what he said was dumb.
Stick to my original post, which is that attitudes have changed recently, with toppling of statues that everyone had been fine with for over a century and vilifying the south. I'm not justifying it, just observing it.
@@annereilley4892 Attitudes have not changed, we just have more communist scum who want to erase and vilify American history.
@@robertmartin8907 Yeah, now we're on the same page. I should have added SMH at the end of my original post.
You're right about the older people, their attitudes haven't changed, but the movement you mentioned has spread to the mainstream and the state and federal governments are giving into them. They will keep teaching the young people and the old will disappear.
I got this song on a CD along with a lot of other great songs by Johnny Horton. Love him!!!
This song gives me chills to this day 🙌🏻
The Best! God Bless Dixie !!!
a salute to you soldier from the great white north!!
Johnny Horton songs played regularly in my home growing up. Johnny Reb and Sink the Bismark were especially loved by me...
- President Lincoln Asks the Band to Play “Dixie” | .
Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. The next
day, despite rain and mud there were people in the streets of
D.C. celebrating. Throughout the city, bonfires blazed and celebratory rockets whistled.
Crowds had gathered here the day before, expecting a triumphal speech in
the aftermath of Robert E. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant on April
9 at Appomattox Court House, Va. A procession of some 2,000 Navy Yard
workmen, dragging six boat howitzers that lobbed explosive shells into
the sky, trekked across the city. The crowd swelled on its relentless
march to the White House; bands played and revelers sang “The
Star-Spangled Banner,” “Hail Columbia” and other patriotic tunes.
Dixie was used to bring the nation together.....
We sang this song on our way to the Gettysburg 160th reenactment.
It reminds me of my dad listening to it😂🎉
GOD SAVE THE SOUTH.
Lord knows they need it
Duck your god
When Cali get invaded by the Chinese we’ll be ready. Trees speak Vietnamese. Well the plains and appalachians speak EMPS
a salute to you sir for your noble message!! GOD IS OUR VINDICATOR!!!
I have always been a fan of Johnny Horton and I like this song, which may come as a surprise considering I just made a long post in here tearing about the South's legacy. For me, it speaks to a desire to heal the nation's wounds in a way that I don't think people appreciate anymore in an era where it is easy to always morally pontificate. We are right to recognize that during the period in question civil rights and equality took a back seat and that should not have happened. At the same time, survival of the national required a mythos of reconciliation and songs like this speak to that time.
Honor to All who've served this country... Thank YOU...
Cool song 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve loved Salk of Johnny’s tunes when I was a kid, this my favorite.
Right up to the 1970's and 80's people respected the Rebs (southerns) for fighting the good fight even though they lost. Now all that respect is gone. A new generation of haters who hate because they are told to. Sheeple marching in lockstep of obedience to the state of liberalism. Sad but true.
mountainfolks i know, it’s so sad. Because although I hates the Yankee nation, I still love my Yankee brothers.
G.morning brother I was thinking about me during the Wahpeton powwow
mountainfolks I still respect them for fight they put and I respect general lee for not leading them into fruitless battle when he knew all was lost
Good point most of them men that died never owned a single slave, and defended their home from the North. Of course the same elite who curse on the south now were the same elite who built their empires upon the backs of Blacks and poor people everywhere. So once again they spin their web and tell us what to think and believe. Same bullshit with the Irish famine, did anybody wonder how they survived before drake introduced the potato, or why do a people on an Island in a sea full of fish and a land full of crops starve to death = Line up for the cool aid and tyranny, it is an old story.
@sly mikel the fact that you call it "the" united states rather than "these" united states is a point of fact that you are clueless.
Great Singer Great Song !
If you listen to the words, it is not about the South or North being right, it is simply honoring the thousands of young men who died protecting the land that they loved.
well said you have a open heart and wisdom
Rafael Pinefa yeah all 3% of people owned slaves. And that were the very rich people so they really didn’t fight on the war, maybe 1 percent of southern soldiers owned slaves.
Exactly people always try and attach their agenda
@Rafael Pinefa that would've the union blockades and 70 million tariffs on 80 million in goods. Get a clue!
Rafael Pinefa it was express in the early writing that slavery was an evil but they could not take it away at the time but it’s just like the elites now, they really don’t do much out side of the stock market for their business. They have people doing damn near everything for them. Other then the fact they were SLAVES there is very little difference.
I am glad we are one nation, under God and indivisiable. However I salute the courage and honor of the soilders of the North and the South. All American heroes.
Gary Hieronymus people don’t realize that the Northern and Southern soldiers truly respected each other’s reasons to fight, there for they respected them.

I remember Johnny Horton from my childhood back in the 50's loved all of his songs.
One of my favorite songs
I love this song I remember listening to it when I was growing up and I will soon be 62 they don't make songs like this anymore we have lost many great country singers yes I am from the south and proud of it

Awesome song.
Long live the 10th Alabama
They damn sure fought all the way! Thanks, Johnny, it's just as good today as it was in the '50's when I first heard you sing it.
