I found out my Mom passed away on my birthday Dec 9. When we were cleaning out her things in her apartment on Dec 16, she had a record player and I took three Ray Price records off and put them back in their covers. Then I find out Mr. Price passed away. So many great songs that now have even more meaning to me. I loved them growing up and love them even more now. Thank you Ray for giving my Mom so much happiness through your music. Aric
This man still had great control of his voice at his advanced age. I'm not saying that because he has just departed this world, but because it is very true.
My mother was absolutely in love with Ray Price. She had a huge console LP player she would play his albums on, while us kids would tease her. Until one time when we were caught playing Ray Price at top volume and singing along! We didn't hear her car pull up, lol. Couldn't get away with teasing her about Ray Price anymore after that. This was one of Ma's favourite songs.
Oh, man. He still sells it. Such a great song, and it's inspiring to see him sing it so beautifully. This performance can teach young vocalists a great deal about phrasing.
This is the best version of this song that I have ever heard. I get chills when I listen to it. The back up is so amazing. God, I can hear him singing in heaven
Ray does an awesome job with this song and his steel and strings are definately amazing...Ray just keeps getting better......and Ray, your version is the BEST! ..Thanks so much for posting this true classic.
I grew up listening to "real country singers" like Mr. Price and Tammy, George and Loretta. My mama had many of your albums and we would sing all your songs! I so miss hearing traditional country songs on radio. Thank goodness for youtube so we can continue to see great singers like Mr. Price :) Thank you!
Yes, Ray Price was one of the "real" country singers. His passing is a big loss for all country music fans. Btw - we have a great "Classic" country radio station in Seattle, KKXA ... It also streams online ...
I remember my Mother dancing with me to this song when I was just a young child after She divorced my Dad. What I didn't comprehend then, I see so clear now.
I had the honor of driving his tour bus in the 1990's. when I first came on board I didn't remember much of his music from the past, the first show was in Owensboro Ky. as I was watching the show I suddenly remembered every song he sang. I believe he was 67 at the time and I was so impressed with the power and range of his voice at that age ( I was only 32 at the time, so I thought he was old). One thing I noticed back then was that when he sang he held the microphone far away from his mouth, his voice was that powerful. Through the rest of the years that I knew him and until his passing, it never changed. What a great man and a great voice, He is missed.
I worked on a show with Ray Price at Cactus Pete's in Jackpot, Nevada around 1984. The Absolute Professional and a true Texas Gentleman. I learned much from him. Kenny Laursen
Grew up with this guy playing on my dads stereo record player. Saw him in Bakersfield at Buck Owens Crystal Palace. You're right, the band is SO tight and Ray can still sing it. Awesome!
I shed a tear or two when i heard about is death It was Ray that created 4/4 shuffle, which is my all time favorite tempo always makes me want to dance
Sniff Sniff cry.....these songs when played will always take me back home when I was a child. His songs filled the hallways with moms sweet voice chiming in. Thanks Mr. Ray. See you later
Boy that was a great show, I have been to many of Ray's shows and this one was just the best small show of all times. He had everyone in his the palm of his hand and he touched everyones heart!..............Just glad to be there...........
My Mother and Father loved Ray,i grew up listening to Ray Price, Eddie Arnold,Ray Charles ,Just some fond Memories.I use to buy my parents these albums all the time for Christmas etc. Thank you so much for the Video.
First Heard Wynn Stewart's Version In Glasgow In 1963, And, Is Still One Of My Favourites, Bought His Boxed Set From Bear Brand, And This Version Of Joey And Rory Is Absolutely Fantastic, How Sad She Died So Young, Another Jean Shepard In The Making, Jimmy Campbell❤❤
i picked this song to sing at a nursing home my mother was at & the response was overwhelming.of course being older made them love the song they grew up with. i was more than pleased to hear them sing along. i volunteer there & play music one day a week with another lady & they really look forward to their music! ALWAYS be thankful for your talents & use them to make someone smile !!
He is just so damned good. I LOVE this man- I was so heartbroken to hear he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. I heard Ray in an interview the other day on XM radio say that the cancer was officially in remission and that is such good news. Unfortunately pancreatic cancer usually doesn't stay away long though... I hate it, it took my best friend from me, as well as my uncle. I hope Ray sticks around for a good long time yet.
This song was on a cassette tape that me and my dad (rip 1980) listened to and sang along with, when we made breakfast for the family. My father was a county player too. Those were happy memories. Now my dad can be with Ray ,play and sing and be, in Wherever-they-are-back-to-origin....
Oh, wow! My old friend Ray Price! He was one of the first ones I remember hearing as a young girl. And I notice it includes the line "to live together is a sin" which now has changed to "to waste our lives would be a sin". I used to drive my 1955 Chevy two-door as fast as the law allowed and blast out Ray Price.! This one and City Lights. Thanks for uploading. It's so great to hear again.
that damn Ray Price can really sing a country song!!! The young generation should really pay more attention to the true originals like this before they are gone.
This man was 83 years old when he did this performance. His voice just seems to get stronger every year.
His voice sounded so strong and beautiful
a real God given talent will always sound beautiful, even if he was 103 years old
My mother loved this man. Had all his albums!
Amazing!

My Daddy's fav singer, I grew up listening to him, and watching my Daddy and Mama dancing to his music......great memories.........
AMEN!!
You cant have County music with out a steel guitar and twin fiddles. Absolutely the greatest. Ray Price. 2019
They are the backbone of cm!
Reminds me of my Dad, he use to sing this all the time.
My mother was absolutely in love with Ray Price. She had a huge console LP player she would play his albums on, while us kids would tease her.

I can't get enough of Ray Price. He was truly one of the greatest and we have had to say good bye to another great in Mel Tillis.
the pain was so evident in his beautiful face. I loved this man, my friend with all my heart. Still do.
DAMN he's good isn't he? Even in his mid 80's, still smooth as ever. What a talent!
Oh, man. He still sells it. Such a great song, and it's inspiring to see him sing it so beautifully. This performance can teach young vocalists a great deal about phrasing.

RIP Mr. Ray Price, you were definitely one of the best voices in Country Music, you will be missed greatly!
One of the very best, and he got better as he grew older!!!! RIP
Robert McGechan just like Sinatra
Over sixty years of songs.Rest in peace as you have truly earned your reward at God's table.
His voice is as strong and clear as when he first recorded it-poured gold.
My Son gave me tickets for his performance. At the Wagner Nole in Midland tx he was amazing I will never forget him .
Not just a Legend of Country Music, but a Patriotic- Veteran,of the U.S.Marine Corps,who served in WW II !
They just didn't get any better than Ray. I learned to play steel listening to his albums. Thanks Ray.
I grew up listening to this guy, one of my parents favorites.
This is a great song and lyrics. Tks. ❤😊
How many singers reach the end of their career and still have as great a voice as when they started!!
not many. his voice is so beautiful
his last album is lovely
perfer his older voice...more soothin but younger ray is still good!
only a select few. Ray never missed a step.
Heard him Floores Country Store. Driving home, I had to turn off the radio - their voices just didn't ring like his.
He still has that beautiful, velvet, mesmerizing voice! Amazing!
He will be missed
Wonderful singer and Ray and his band always looked sharp
No one will ever take Ray's place. He was the best singer ever!!!
The richness of Ray Price's voice just kept getting better with age.

Ray Price has the best voice in country music . Today and beyound.
Now this is real country. I'm 77 now and this is still the best .
Ray Price at his damn best don't get any better than this
He still had it, 99.9% of the time I can't stand watching performances done in later life.
One of his best songs, love his voice RIP Ray

Oh, wow! My old friend Ray Price! He was one of the first ones I remember hearing as a young girl. And I notice it includes the line "to live together is a sin" which now has changed to "to waste our lives would be a sin". I used to drive my 1955 Chevy two-door as fast as the law allowed and blast out Ray Price.! This one and City Lights. Thanks for uploading. It's so great to hear again.
Beautiful song
love this song never gets old
I love that the pedal steel player is playing an Emmons pedal steel, since Buddy Emmons was in Price's band back in the day.
that damn Ray Price can really sing a country song!!! The young generation should really pay more attention to the true originals like this before they are gone.
Just an amazing singer.
brilliant-he is a wonderful man and singer!
ONE GREAT ARTIST & HIT MAKER
would have been amazing to sit in that audience!
