Thank you Merle for what you have done for Country music. We were soldier's in the bush in Vietnam and would watch as the freedom birds would fly out off the Danang Airbase taking our brothers back home to America and patiently wait for our deros date '' date expected to return from overseas", The only radio station we had was the AFVN STATION and they played this song all the time. The sight of those silver wings flying off and your song always stayed with me.
David Ballard thank u Mr. Ballard for Helping make our MotherLand the Greatest on the planet, despite certain things goin on in the USA, we R still the GREATEST NATION PRAISE GOD IT'S US, AND THANK U AND U FAMILY AND EVEN U PETS FOR ALLLLL OF YOUR FAMILY'S STRENGTH, THANX AGAIN AND I PRAY GOD WILL SUPER BLESS AND HIGH HEAVENLY FAVOR U AND YOUR FAMILY,THNX
Merle Haggard’s music will last to time indefinite… His music is timeless… I sure miss his kind of Real Country music!!!! I hope someone can bring back that kind of down home country. Rest In Peace Merle Haggard🌹🌹💔😔✌🏼
What a joy, to go back in time, to a much sweeter time, when these songs touched your heart and made you feel swept away to another time and place,with our memories.
Beautiful song Thanks Meryl for writing a fantastic song RIP. The best. Jewel and Meryl. Magnificent duet Thank you winner . Blessing to you and your family.
From one generation to another Merle Haggard will endure. One of the best voices and certainly the absolute best songs in country music. I love you and so do all my friends and family rip Merle. Oh just a side note if Jewel was around back in 60s and 70s Merle would of hit that
Silver wings, brings such emotions and tears to my eyes to this day. As i boarded a plane to go off to Viet Nam in 1969, all i could think of was my wife and child and would i return on those silver wings. Very emotional today.
Thank U n U family n U pets bro for Helping our Country be bring peace throughout the World,GOD BLESS AND HIGHLY FAVOR U AND YOURS ALLLWAYS FRIEND IN JESUS NAME !! YOU'RE AWESOME MAN, AND A MAN AMONST OTHER MEN, THANX AGAIN !!!! THNX TO U AND U FAMILY AND PETS !!
My wife died at an early age, so hard to get going, but country song/s like this one made a difference inside of me and here with a 2nd wife I'm back on road again, country music makes a difference indeed😁
My folks didn’t listen to country music. They both earned there wings. I was the only hell my mamma ever raised and her rebel child that was loved with all my faults. Thank you granddaddy for the country music lessons
rest in peace let me haggard had wonderful songs I listen to as a little girl my mom and dad and family always loves your music .awesometalent. and voice .always loved your song silver wings now you earned your silver wings I Love music an singing I love to sing to .gospel songs .when I can
I'm so in love with Jewel for Angelic voice singing with a COUNTRY LEGEND ive seen live 3 times...shes an angel with a voice only out done by Bonnie Owens while singing with the HAG
Jewel is looking at Merle just like the same way that she has been singing harmony with her Daddy for years ! , she can sing harmony in her sleep, she is so talented and gifted !!!
This is my all time fav song of haggard my adopted geandfather would sit on his porch in the summer and sing haggard songs this was ond of his fav they played it at his funeral Rip Rabbit and merle you can sing it together now
ok, ok, this is too beautiful and i can't believe i'm just seeing this now. how gorgeous are their voices together, and then...what...who's that on guitar, none other than Redd Voelkert! I wanna see more of this concert! THANKS for the post.
Yep that 13 lonely months in Korea 1971-1972 was when Silver Wings was at its peak. I often dreamed of the day when those silver wings would take me home. Thanks Merle for adding spice to life. RIP...
I imagined our little German fort, Artillery Kasern in Neckarsulm, used to sing this song when one of its American GIs left for the last time, for a new assignment or a return to civilian life (don't know whether it was in German or English but little German forts that housed American GIs had to be multilingual).
laurel harrison Yeah, she has this voice, to which, she can sing anything. She has the unique voice. I think her voice may be to sexy for just country. Know what I mean? I just hope she doesn't lose herself. Sell out, if you will. She can sing those old folk songs, country songs, pop songs, blues, rock, etc. She can sing any genre. At least she has all these other sounds. Most people stick with what they know. Well, she knows it all, pretty much. She can do it all. Just hope she stays humble.
I keep wondering about this song. Someone said it was about someone dying. I thught it was about a broken relationship and the one who broke it was flying away from the broken hearted one.
That's the way it goes, nothing last forever on this old Earth. But It is all just a breath away from our Time/Space,out of sight but not far away. Then if we choose to we can live it all over again. But the rule is you MUST live out your life in this time/ space,or there consanguineous (spelled right?)there is always a rule, if broken we must pay one way or another.😱✨⚡️🌋. We have a do over and that could be really,really bad!😱 I love each and every one of you, keep a happy thought even though you may think what does she know, I don't know , but Ido know this if you tell yourself you are happy ,pretty soon your whole body will feel happy, I have psoriasis and I am itchy and scratchy some times I get to point I want scream.and it takes all my strength to control it ,but I tell my self I am strong and I will not let it rule me so I listen country music🤠🤠😊

Thank You God for such talent in the person of the one and only Merle Haggard
.
Maybe the Hagg’s best song, a turn on the dance floor is mandatory when this one is played.
Love this song with Jewel and Merle
She is so happy to be up there with Merle, RIP Mr. Haggard
Jewel idolized Merle growing up along with Loretta Lynn , she mentions both many times at various Concert she’s played.
Yep that 13 lonely months in Korea 1971-1972 was when Silver Wings was at its peak. I often dreamed of the day when those silver wings would take me home. Thanks Merle for adding spice to life. RIP...

@@sandragreen9560 i AM SO SO SORRY MY FRIEND, GOD BLESS YOU!
A big one for Merle & the Strangers..Released back in 1969 on an album titled, "A Portrait of Merle Haggard".
I imagined our little German fort, Artillery Kasern in Neckarsulm, used to sing this song when one of its American GIs left for the last time, for a new assignment or a return to civilian life (don't know whether it was in German or English but little German forts that housed American GIs had to be multilingual).
One of my favorite tunes for Merle
