    This is not only my favorite song but my favorite performance! He sat there, played that guitar, and sung this masterpiece with such ease, I was transfixed. Done before the days of auto-tune, and performed before a live audience, he gave an absolutely flawless performance. His voice was smoother than silk; the tone, the timing, the feeling, the soul touching ability he possessed leaves me in awe. His voice is truly a beautifull God given instrument. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this and savored every perfect note. I even copied it to disc instead of the one he released. Not that that one isn't good, but there's something special about this one. Thank you so much for sharing this!

    I loved this song the first time I heard it on the radio 40 years ago. Incredible song from the great song writer Mickey Newbury tried by a few but never found it's feet until Johnny Rodriguez got a hold of it and made it his own and ran it all the way to #2 in 1976. Johnny R. is one of the great song stylists of all time! This is a classic performance, a treat to watch and to listen to.

And his rendition of I May Fall Again is incredibly beautiful. And I love the addition of Spanish. Someone said he is so sexy - you got that right. And in his 70's now, he is gorgeous, at least till a few years ago. A treasure.@@cheryllebleu674

      This song came out around 1974 or 1975, and I remember it so well. I had just been given my Dear John letter and verbal "hit the road" news from the only girl in my entire life who I loved with the deepest and greatest degree of passion and who I wanted more than anything to spend the rest of my life with.
      The words in this song hit such a true note with my memories of that relationship, even though that was now 48 years ago. Johnny Rodriguez had a string of really fantastic, great old-style C&W music hits during those years and I own nearly all of the LPs he put out during those early years of his career.

I sob seeing where he is now, good Lord, didn't anyone help him. I'd be there in a minute if it would help. Heartbreaking to see him at Music City Bar and Grill in N'ville, and some of the videos of just a few years back, and some months ago. It's hard to believe it's the same man.

    This is country music at its best.I heard Johnny sing back in 1973, song, Pass Me By Of You're Only Passing Through would be a great song for him. His voice rivals Kim Reeves. Thanks for making this music available so everyone can listen to it.

    Keep coming back to this clip. Wonderful song sung with heartfelt emotion, touching that lost love place we all carry, dimmed a little by time but certainly not gone. Johnny Rodriguez has sung this same emotion with many of his songs; just something about his voice, perhaps even more so when he sings in Spanish. The tears fall, I can’t stop them, the connection to the lyrics, melody, Johnny’s voice…it’s all a direct shot to the heart.

      Exactly. Rips my heart out. I can't believe what a singer he is, what a voice and more than that, he KNOWS how to convey the meaning/emotions of the song. That's what it's all about. I run out of words to describe how unbelievably talented he is, what pleasure I get listening to him.

    I love Johnny . Wish he and Gene Watson would be inducted into the hall of fame. Johnny and Gene have kept their beautiful voices as good as they ever were! What a treat to find him on utube! Wish he would come to upstate New York, and I mean the Syracuse, area for a concert. Keep singing Johnny you are ONE OF A KIND. Love you and your music.

      I saw Johnny about 3 times back in the 70s in Indiana. But where I saw him and a lot of other country stars burned down in 2009. He doesn't play any where close enough for me to go see him now. I am really not able enough to travel to TX. You are very lucky..I would love to see him..
