This song and “the likes of me” are true, timeless songs. They’re brand new and emotive every time I hear them. God bless Jerry Reed. We miss you here good sir. Rest easy… 💜
Such a great song by an outstanding artist and original writer, Jerry Reed does a beautiful performance here. This one is the one I remember hearing years ago, thanks for bringing it back to us. By the way I've listen to it 20 or more times over the past few years and recently recommended it to someone. Thanks!
As a young boy this song got my attention, but I never knew one of all time favorite musicians and all great pickers Jerry Reed wrote this song. Utterly amazing. The man was even more talented than I thought. #RESPECT
He does have quite a few like this, couple of my favorites are Today is Mine, Early Morning Rain, Georgia on My Mind, and Patches. Probably a couple I missed though.
Moments ago on a different channel the owner of that channel asked people to comment on what is their favorite song that Jerry wrote. I said there are so, so many to choose from, but "A Thing Called Love" is my favorite. The music and lyrics match oh so beautifully!
This song..and the taker..and 4 strong winds are 3 of best songs ever..Jerry Reed. W Jennings..Bobby bare ..go and listening to this 3 songs..you will never forget them again..the songs..and most of all ..there voices..I did it.when I was about 10 old 50 years ago..and I feel like it was last night ❤

I’m here because I heard Glen Campbell sing this and somebody in the comments section recommended listening to the Jerry Reed version and he was right, this is better.
@@kensod6034 Glen recorded the song along with many other artist, but Jerry Reed wrote the song. No need to take my word for it, it can be researched fairly quickly. Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell were also great friends. "A Thing Called Love" is a song written and originally recorded by Jerry Reed[2] in 1968. This song has been recorded by many artists, including Jimmy Dean, Elvis Presley, Glen Campbell and Dave Dudley. In 1971, the song was recorded by Johnny Cash and it became a No. 1 country hit in Canada. The record was Cash's biggest hit in Europe, charting in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
@@Zacharia503 Here in Germany "not bad" is basicaly the best you will here. And it means "really good". :D So if I say "good" it means it is even better than "not bad" xD
I used to think that Glen Cambell's version was the best, but I stand corrected. I love Jerry Reed.. Pure genius
Hands down the very best thank you
We need to hear this more often
That's my funeral song. Used to be 6ft.6in 235lbs just like it said and my heart was taken at that time and always will be. My funeral song.

Such a beautifully written song, both lyrics and guitar. Jerry Reed was a true pure talent and great entertainer.
That's the first time that I've heard Jerry singing it; it's now my favourite version.
Jerry sings better than I ever heard him sing! Have you heard Glenn Campbell's version?

This should have been a cross over hit..Great Jerry Reed song.
I have always liked Jerry Reed, he's even an irresistible bad guy. Full of energy and life he was. A great loss
Glen Campbell's cover is nice too!
"most men are like me"
Beautiful song by a righteous man.
Thank you Jerry Reed sir! Its such a nice song! It melts my heart and makes it out of steel ! eheheh
While I certainly enjoyed his more comedic songs, I do wish he had more like this. That was outstanding.
Same as Roger Miller. Love his comedic songs, but boy did he have a soft side! Played them outstanding as well!

It really started to deteriorate from the smokes. About 1975 onwards, it got huskier and huskier
