Song written by Glen Campbell. It made the Top 40 of the country music station I was at, KMOR, SLC, UT. We were probably among the first non-gospel radio stations to play one of their singles.
Looks like it's been several years since anyone has watched this video. I am still reminded that for the day the Oak Ridge Boys was the best vocal gospel group of the day. It seemed to me that their production values of all their songs were just a little better than ever other group of that day. Really would like to have known who produced their music in studio. They were also a great live group. Only group that started to come close in that day was The Imperials and they were doing more contemporary music in the 70's.
Underrated song and recording. Written and recorded by Glen Campbell, but I prefer the vocals by the Oak Ridge Boys. I have an original 45. Thanks for posting.
I remember singing this at catholic folk/guitar masses on Sunday mornings in the very early 1970s.

Big fan of how they say "brother who is weaker" instead of "brother that is weaker." Pretty much makes this the best version.
Statler Brothers always said "who" ... love their version the best personally
Thank you for this. Loved Duane, then & now.
Amen. A lot of truth in this song.
I love this song! Let's hold each other up! God bless us all

I don't know how old Duane Allen is, but he's been singing for a long time. He's a great one, too.
Duane is my favorite. I also liked the songs they did with Steve Sanders. He had a beautiful voice.
This is a 1967 episode of The Porter Wagoner Show. Musician and former Louisiana Gov. Jimmie Davis introduces The Oak Ridge Boys.
it was, richard and joe came into the group in early 70s.
So it’s Duane, Willie Wynn, William Golden and Herman Harper?
yes. William Lee Golden. without the long hair and beard

Smitty Gatlin was the original lead voice on the recording of this song.
These are the Oakridge Boys?! You could have fooled the heck outa me!
This is the pre-1972 Oak Ridge Boys. Richard and Joe were not there yet!
