I've been a Glaser Bros. fan for 40 years, and the other day I sent an email to Jim (the tenor) and he was kind to respond the next day. He said he appreciated the kind remarks about him and his brothers, really meant alot. He said when he was younger, he was really strung up tight, but he said live and learn.. btw he sang the high part on the great record 'El Paso' with Marty Robbins. He was 21 at the time. Now in his early sevnties, he still has a great voice.
Thanks. Love a good backstory. Yeah I am a huge fan of Tompall & the brothers as well. Sure miss Radio KEEN out of San Jose, CA; gone but not forgotten.
there will never be another family group with such tight harmonies as these guys were.. They really need to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame now
I remember spinning the Glazer Brothers when I worked at a country music radio station in Longview Washington 40 some odd years ago. I had my whole life ahead of me. I'm almost 71 now. Tom Paul is gone now. So is Glenn Frey and too many others. As a musician and singer, I've come to realize that every song I sing could be my last. I think of all the time I wasted and the music I took for granted. Yeah, I got to be a rockstar for a while though you know my name. If I could say something important to a young musician it would be this: Take your eyes off stardom and be who God designed you to be. Let that be your music. Be who you truly are. God made you one of a kind and put the gift you have within you. Use it for Him. You never know when you will sing your last song. Neil Jones
RIP Jim Glaser !!! Great music, another unique sound overlooked by Hall of Fame, the Glaser Brothers. Jim was just as great as solo artist. Thanks for Glaser music!!!!! Your music will live on.
Tompall is so great. He has a very good golden voice. Bet I have ever heard. These bros are the best harmonies. God Bless the Glaser Brothers. Tompall is now singing in heaven. What a beautiful voice. Thanks for your beautiful music.
Kris wrote it, and Tompall & brothers made it the greatest love song ever recorded. It played at my wifes funeral, and is still my favoreite song of all time.. There is not a "country' artist working today fit to carry these guys guitar amps.
What "Country " artist ? Country is nothing but soft hip hop these days...recording/broadcasting giants control the music even more today, if a kid won't buy it....it is not being made...
I'm 71 and this is one of my top 5 all time favorite songs. What a fantastic piece of music and thank you Kris Kristopherson for writing it and Tompall and his bros great harmony. Also love Willie's version. Thanks for sharing.
I had the pleasure as a now retired journalist of interviewing JPG at a gig in Hampshire, UK, back in the early 90s. It was the final of a number of gigs that was a greater number than the days they played them in. JPG collapsed on stage close to the end of the gig - put down to sheer exhaustion. At his invite, I later joined the band at their hotel that evening, had a few beers, enjoyed a chat, and subsequently wrote the interview for my local paper. It is only on the day that I make this comment that I became aware that JPG had passed on. It has been a savage decade of musical passings. RIP and serenade the angels John - it was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet and chat with you.
I can listen to these guys 24/7,,,,Love em always did,,,always will,,,,,,by all means,,,they should have been in the Hall of fame,,,,,,,,thereis a gsng of em in there right now ,,,I wouldn't give a kiss of my butt for,,,,,most people today don't know what talent is ,,,they listen to garbage !!!!!
I hope this, and all the other great Glaser music stays on here forever. So missing Tompall already. RIP. He had the richest and the most soulful voice in country music history. In the presence of his Lord now. He was never fully appreciated for his many talents.
Tompall's version of "T for Texas" is still what I open up with every time I perform! He had a big impact on my life. So put another log on the fire and thank God for the Glaser's!
Sweet harmonies to the very end. Bless you boys, for all the joy you've given us over the years. Rest in peace, Tompall Glaser. I pray your once rebel spirit is humbly serving the Master in Heaven.
We were very fortunate to have attended 2 live conderea=s and just were blown away with their very talented harmony at its very best!! Truly were alll time grearews!!
Love to watch these guys. Their harmony is superb. My favorite is the medley performance where they finish each others sentences. They need to be in the hall of fame, fantastic!
This song is a long time favorite of mine. When I looked for it singing karaoke, I could only find it listed as done by Waylon Jennings. But when they played it, I knew in an instant it was the version done by the Glaser brothers. What a thrill to blend my voice in with the harmonizing 'brothers'. R.I.P. Tompall
It's a shame in country music today 2014 that Tompall Glaser and the Glaser Brothers again, are not inducted in the Country music Hall off Fame. Tompall Glaser pased away 2013. But Jim and Chuck of The Glaser Brothers are one of the last artist who played with Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Snow, Roy Orbison, Waylon Jennings etc. When you hear Jim Glaser with Marty Stuart last recording on you tube , old time classic Let Me Down Easy writen by Jim and Tompall. That's real country music it's the best there is. I love these guys The Legendary Tompall and The Glaser Brothers Henri de Groot, Emmen, Holland the Netherlands
I love these guys,they're the best ,I wish they were still singin' Tompall's a genius I got everthing they ever sung when are they gonna' put them into the country music hall of fame,also how abouit a good video of their whole careers.they are as good as it can get,why aren't they ever in those country favorites that are always advertised on the telly
The Glaser Brothers had a harmony that was unique. Their music was a pleasure to listen to. Why they are not in the country music hall of fame is a disgrace to the hall of fake. They deserve to be.
They recorded many great songs, but without a doubt my all time favorite will always be “I Still Love You” (After all these years). My wife always referred to it as “Our Song”. ❤️
Harmony at it's very best! Tompall will be greatly missed. I have been a fan ever since i was a little girl. these songs bring back so many wonderful memories. Thank you so much Tompall, Chuck and Jim for giving us all this great music. Country music at it's very best
Candyce, thanks for clarifying the situation with Chuck. I was able to hear his voice in their singing of "Loving her was Easier" and just like Jim and Tompall, he had a delightful voice and the 3 together was magic. And he was indeed fully contributing during this reunion.
This version of "Loving Her..." is in one of the major karaoke packages and I've sung it so many times, but the next time will be tough. Tompall and the brothers were truly a unique gift to country music and to music lovers. Thanks and R.I.P.
Watching this clip is always a pleasure and I'm grateful that I can still enjoy watching and listening to such a class performance. I would sell my cat in exchange for a front row seat, but I know that will never be possible so my cat is safe and blissfully unaware of this terrible admission.
Here i am again listening and watching. Only recently discovered the third brother, middle back, had suffered a stroke at around 40 years old. I love the interaction with Jim and Tompall. They definitely should be in the hall of fame.
I lost my last post! Chuck (Charles Vernon Glaser) suffered a stroke as a result of a cerebral aneurysm. He was in his mid 30's at the time. The doctors did not expect him to live as he was in a coma for a period of time. The results of the stroke were devastating but with the help of his wife, Beverly Ann Zegers Glaser, good medical and rehab care, and a lot of incredibly hard work, Chuck made a full come back. He learned to speak again and to sing. He gained full control over his body with the exception of one hand that did not want to cooperate. The hand made it impossible to play guitar. At the time that this video was made (I was there), Chuck had stopped performing and had gone into business. Tom and Jim were still performing. If you just look at the way the three are dressed you can get an idea of their occupations at the time. It should be noted that when Chuck was on the stage his voice was part of a trio. He stayed toward the back because he couldn't play but not because his voice was anything less than excellent. It is important to remember the impact that all three of these gifted musicians had on their own unique sound. It would be a travesty to suggest in any way that Chuck was unable to fully contribute vocally in this and other prior performances.
Candyce Williams Glaser The music of Tompall, Chuck and Jim is my hobby and my passion. I listen for hours and hours at a time. I prefer all my vinyl. I can definitely isolate each of their unique voices. Each voice individually is magnificent but together they are breathtaking. Just my 2 cents. :)
@@candycewilliamsglaser5057 Thank you for the nice words about Chuck getting good rehab care. That was provided by my wife who was a Physical Therapist at Vanderbilt Hospital. She used to tell me how how determined Chuck was to regain his abilities. One technic he used was to holler sounds, just to get something out. When he learned we were moving to Atlanta in 1983, he came by Vanderbilt and brought a copy of the Glaser's latest album, After All These Years, released in 1982. Chuck signed it "To Cheryl, Thanks for all your support of belief in me. Chuck Glaser" Still have and still cherish
I love singing this version doing karaoke. Whoever put the karaoke version together did a great job of finding harmony singers. These guys were fantastic.
@camerabugs, Chuck did have a stroke back in the 70's and his left side was paralyzed which also affected his voice. He worked very hard to get back to where he could sing at all. He never let it stop him from living though, He always said that he'd sing on the Opry stage again and he did. I even went golfing with him when I was a teenager and he did great one handed.
The kind of music that makes one glad to have lived during this period of time.
I've been a Glaser Bros. fan for 40 years, and the other day I sent an email to Jim (the tenor) and he was kind to respond the next day. He said he appreciated the kind remarks about him and his brothers, really meant alot.

Thanks. Love a good backstory. Yeah I am a huge fan of Tompall & the brothers as well. Sure miss Radio KEEN out of San Jose, CA; gone but not forgotten.
I just discovered that all the brothers have since passed on to the other side of time's life. "C'est la vie" (Such is life).
Adios boys.
Yeah! They were great, unique, with a fantastic sound.
There my cousins
@@allanpotts6765 tt
All of the greats are gone. Country music is gone. Love the Glaser Brothers!!
Such beautiful harmony from these 3 brothers! Today's so called country music is horrible.
That is one of the purest renditions of a live performance I know
there will never be another family group with such tight harmonies as these guys were.. They really need to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame now
Well it really doesnt matter now they all are dead crying shame they should have been in there years before they died
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs of country.
I have listened to several versions of this song and I was right, no one can sing it as good as Tompall and his brothers! What talent!
when he sang a song no need for anyone else to !I never ever want nor will I listen to anyone else sing it I dont care who sung it first !
do yall get my driff
( lol ) !
Most definitely the best version most definitely
Agree Glasser Brothers is the Best
They cannot be described.The Glasers are Wonderful. I wish they were still here 💔
Hello how are you doing….?
THIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC HISTORY....LOVE IT
This is what real MUSIC sounds like.... This is PERFECTION.
Yes...perfection

This is music that we'll never see again. Thanks for posting this video.
Perfect sibling harmony! Nothing better! Glaser Bros. were the epitome of brothers singing together!
RIP Jim Glaser !!! Great music, another unique sound overlooked by Hall of Fame, the Glaser Brothers. Jim was just as great as solo artist. Thanks for Glaser music!!!!! Your music will live on.
Jim Glaser was the best singer h

that was pure country music feeling, but they rather make room for garth brooks, vince gill....
Tompall is so great. He has a very good golden voice. Bet I have ever heard. These bros are the best harmonies. God Bless the Glaser Brothers. Tompall is now singing in heaven. What a beautiful voice. Thanks for your beautiful music.

Yes but they own it, kris can’t sing.
Got that right. There's no one in country music today that can sing with these guys.
I'm 71 and this is one of my top 5 all time favorite songs. What a fantastic piece of music and thank you Kris Kristopherson for writing it and Tompall and his bros great harmony. Also love Willie's version. Thanks for sharing.
I'm with you, Brian. This is one of my "go to" songs when I need to feed my Country soul! Love Tompall!
It's very easy to play on guitar as well. Very melodic. This was a great group!!!
Brian Wilkinson saw these in concert many years ago. Love this song.
One of my all time favorites too.
But you cannot beat the first single of this song by Roger Miller......
This song, these singers, this performance.....SUPERB! This will never be equaled. Ever.
I had the pleasure as a now retired journalist of interviewing JPG at a gig in Hampshire, UK, back in the early 90s. It was the final of a number of gigs that was a greater number than the days they played them in.

I can't count how many times I have watched this video ,,it is better each time i watch it..
We will never find another three guys like this Just magic
I never get tired of listening to these guys. The word amazing is over used, but in this case, completely appropriate.
The brother at the rear looks soo out of place
William Millard That was Chuck who had recovered from a bad Stroke. Amazing he was even able to sing but he fought hard and came back.
@@williammillard6652 He is very handsome looks distinguished.
I can listen to these guys 24/7,,,,Love em always did,,,always will,,,,,,by all means,,,they should have been in the Hall of fame,,,,,,,,thereis a gsng of em in there right now ,,,I wouldn't give a kiss of my butt for,,,,,most people today don't know what talent is ,,,they listen to garbage !!!!!
@@williammillard6652 that brother had his place in that group,,he was great also !!!!
RIP Tompall you were the greatest, you will never be forgotten. Love this song and this is how I will remember you. Love You xx
Hey how are you doing…?
HISTORY IN THE MAKING...PURE CLASSIC
Someone please explain to me why the Glasers, and their enormous talents, are not in the Country Music Hall of Fame? Their induction is WAY past due!
Money!
And a lot of politics I expect as well.
agree 100%...
Nashville is who you know and who you blow, who you meet and who you eat. Been there. Took the bus back home.
I feel bad about that. We've probably been deprived of a lot of amazing talent for that very reason. Nashville needs to get over itself.
Beautiful rendition of this beautiful song, and at my age I can truly say "they don't make them like this anymore".
I hope this, and all the other great Glaser music stays on here forever. So missing Tompall already. RIP. He had the richest and the most soulful voice in country music history. In the presence of his Lord now. He was never fully appreciated for his many talents.
Hello how are you doing today…?
Tompall's version of "T for Texas" is still what I open up with every time I perform! He had a big impact on my life. So put another log on the fire and thank God for the Glaser's!
These guys had talent and skill individually,but together they had magic..pure magic.We'll never hear the like again.
Never tire of this. Perfectly describes how I feel of my wife of fifty six years!❤
Sweet harmonies to the very end. Bless you boys, for all the joy you've given us over the years. Rest in peace, Tompall Glaser. I pray your once rebel spirit is humbly serving the Master in Heaven.
i think they are absolutely brilliant
We were very fortunate to have attended 2 live conderea=s and just were blown away with their very talented harmony at its very best!! Truly were alll time grearews!!
Just heard, R..I. P., Tompall Loved your sound, especially with your brothers.
One of the greatest groups in my lifetime & ever will be,,,,,you never hear of groups like this anymore,,,& probably ever will. !!!
So sad. When it's over it's over. I grew up listening to them on the Grand Ole Opry. Always singing this Land. All the greats are gone now
Beautiful. I love all the Glaser's so much,
Thanks Sandy. Just wish we could go back in time and see these guys again. That would be priceless.
Love to watch these guys. Their harmony is superb. My favorite is the medley performance where they finish each others sentences. They need to be in the hall of fame, fantastic!
Even now, Jim Glaser could melt steel with his voice...
Becca S His only competition as the best Tenor was Glen Yarborough of the Limelighters. Claude Hill, Chief Engineer of Glaser Sound Studios.
+Claude Hill I just think he's dreamy.. : )
Speechless. Beautiful song done with perfection.
The Glaser Bros was in a class of their own. It´s a pity I´d never saw them live. Thanks so much for sharing weeze...
So beautiful. Love songs like this, and performances like this...special. No matter who you are and where you grew up. Sweet harmonies.
How could God make a better music for humanity to enjoy with bliss?
BestTrio ever RIP Tompall
There is no one does this song better
This song is a long time favorite of mine. When I looked for it singing karaoke, I could only find it listed as done by Waylon Jennings. But when they played it, I knew in an instant it was the version done by the Glaser brothers. What a thrill to blend my voice in with the harmonizing 'brothers'. R.I.P. Tompall
Whenever I sing karaoke, I always sing this song - the background harmony makes me or any K singers sound good
no one sings this song better the harmonies are wonderful
Beautiful. A treat and a blessing.
This is the best! Love this song so much. Awesome rendition. It so reminds me of her and what we had ! Blessings my Doll ! I will always miss you !
Absolute PERFECTION!

Genuine chills ......beautifully done. Thank you, Jim.
Brilliant, what a song and voices, the miracle of youtube showing talent at its finest..
@camerabugs, Chuck did have a stroke back in the 70's and his left side was paralyzed which also affected his voice. He worked very hard to get back to where he could sing at all. He never let it stop him from living though, He always said that he'd sing on the Opry stage again and he did. I even went golfing with him when I was a teenager and he did great one handed.
