Vince is a golden soul. Patty has many jewels in her crown in heaven when she gets there. Two marvelous souls. Scandel free their entire careers and dedicated to making beautiful songs for mankind to enjoy. I expect both shall be in the heavenly choir with angels singing background harmony! August 2024.
He and the Legend George were very close friends. That coupled with the fact that he had written this song for his brother when he passed contributed to his trouble maintaining composure. Bless his heart.
I believe this was at a tribute concert after the legendary George Jones had passed away, and Vince was very close to George! You can hear the pain in the voice as he sings!
Watching the great Garth Brooks rise silently.....hat in hand....as a show of respect for the pain sweetpea was feeling during this tribute.....tears me up EVERY TIME I watch this. And I've watched this many times.
When my sister laying dying from cancer 3 years ago we would play this song over and over for her and she would rest easier while it was playing. It was her favorite. Now her daughters, grandchildren and I gather on her birthday and play it as a tribute to her. Vince is my favorite male voice of all time. This song has been played by so many families for funerals ever since he released it I've lost track of how many times I've heard it. Vince and Patty Loveless were a magical duo for this song 🎵. 🥀
This was an incredibly hard task for Vince to do. He wrote the first verse for his friend the great Keith Whitley after he passed away. The second verse was written for Vince's brother who passed away at a young age. Vince was very close to George, so it was added emotion on top of an already emotional song. Please listen to his version with Ricky Scaggs and Allison Kraus to get the pure beauty of this incredible song.
Went to see Vince He sang this I'm not to hot on Country music,I sat and watched the crowd. You could've heard s pin drop,silence and his voice was truly was so pure. Have to say it was remarkable
You'll never find a better human than Vince Gill anywhere! His whole being is drenched in LOVE! His friends adore this talented man. I was fortunate to see him perform when he was 17 and just starting out. He played with a band called Mountain Smoke, all of whom I eventually knew EXCEPT Vince. His talent jettisoned him into the ozone pretty quickly. He still visits his old friends....and has no arrogance whatsoever.
Hi. Vince Gill had such an upbringing around these older "Country Legends" as a young boy n now a man. To see him break down on stage is understandable, to see Patty Loveless closely watching Vince n filling in with her powerful voice was very touching. To see those country music "Stars" stand for the song is such a testament to the support they give each other when they saw Vince struggling a little. Human emotions n support were given to all that day. Peace to you and yours
This is the epic performance of this great song and songwriter, Vince Gill. Thank you. Patty Loveless is extraordinary. The performance including Ricky Skaggs is one not to be missed either.
Another really good song and it's home and is close to my heart. If you like this you'll love Brooks and Dunn's Believe. Thanks for sharing take care and stay safe.
Vince is a wonderful singer songwriter and musician. Nobody answers when I call your name, One More Last Chance, I still believe in you are some more wonderful songs by Vince
I remember watching this at the time. And the older I get, I just can’t get through without crying anymore. These things just hit differently as we get older. Thanks for this reaction. Even in sorrow, Vince and Patty are a dynamic duo.
This was an absolutely gut-wrenching rendition, but so worth watching, right? You have to love how Patty supports him. The relationship that Vince had with George Jones was certainly special and you can hear the love and respect. Awesome pick, PJ!
I am glad you are getting to know Vince Gill, because he is one of the premier country singer/songwriters. Most country singers now only wish they had half his talent. He is in the Country Music Hall of Fame and, as of last year, has 22 Grammy Awards. Only Alison Kraus surpasses him in the Grammy numbers (27 as of 2020--individual, and 14 more with her band Alison Kraus and Union Station. She is as astonishing as he is. There are great country singers...and then there are those who are just on a level few will ever achieve. Vince, Alison, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr...four I can think of right off the bat. There are others, but very few others.
George Jones called Vince Gill Sweet Pea because he’s such a nice guy; and an artist not ashamed to wear his heart in his sleeve. He’s also as you no doubt one of the industry’s best musicians. It was as if he had to play that extol long bridge so he could get his anxiety and emotions under control. I could not imagine having to do that especially with your hero and friend lying in his casket right below you. I’ve seen Dolly Parton cry only a couple of times because she’s always so upbeat I think she’s afraid she’d be crushed by the world’s population coming to comfort her. The one time it happened on live TV was when she was asked to give out the song of the year at the the CMAs in 95 or 96 and Vince won for this song. When he came from backstage and he saw the standing ovation he just broke down. The song was written for his brother who passed the previous year. When Dolly saw that she handed that award back to the “model” and she went straight to Vince and started rubbing his back and let him lean on her while she was pouring tears herself. While he made his speech she stood back behind biting her lip to try to get herself back together. God bless all of us that are tender hearted and still wear them on our sleeves.
Patty was a true Angel that day for Vince in how she stepped up to support him in his time of deep grief. If this video doesn't give you chills, you need to do a bit of soul searching.
Vince can't get through this because he wrote it for his brother.. Patty has his back through this entire song. I cry every time I hear it.,, Vince is amazing picking the guitar though.
I’ve been waiting for this one! That’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. If you didn’t know anything of Patty Loveless before watching this video, you walk away knowing she is a class act and a cut above. She could have just as easy stood there & let Vince flounder in his emotions, but she stepped up and she carried it, while at the same time consoling him & helping him regain his composure. That takes style & class folks! Patty is one of those that is mostly known as a “backup” or “harmony” singer- she had a solo career, but she’s best known for her work with Vince & Ricky Skaggs among others. In my opinion, she’s pure badass. Listen to her live version of “you’ll never leave Harlan alive” if you want to hear what she can really do vocally.
He actually did that sing a bit ago, which indicates just how smartly he is researching what songs and videos to do. Patty did a lot of "mainstream" songs with radio airplay in the 1990s, but he managed to dig up one that I don't think ever got played on the radio, at least not the "mainstream" stations, but that was nothing short of legendary to those in the know.
What always struck me is that she was also very close to George Jones and had to be hurting as much as he was, but she held it together and helped him through it. You can hear parts where her voice starts to fill, then trails off as she watches him and follows his lead and helps him make it through the song. I have loved this performance since I first saw it because it was such a display of friendship and support. There are only a small number of people who can push through their own grief to help others and we should cherish them.
@@katrinaprescott5911 Remember her song How Can I Help You Say Goodbye? Well, in this video we watched her do just that. And a testimony to her talent when so many want her as their backup singer.
I agree with you. Patty Loveless is one of the best pure country and blue grass artists ever. Why she isn't in the hall of fame is a travesty. She is my favorite bar none.
I have heard & seen Vince do this song hundreds of times but had this. OMWord. So touching. How very blessed they were to have a friend so very special it was this hard to say goodbye😔🙏🏼💔❤️🩹❤️
I double-checked - Vince has 31 Grammies, 18 CMAs/2 Entertainer of the Year awards and 5 male vocalist awards...he is highly respected across multiple genres for his voice and his incredible skills on guitar.
I have Vince Gill song title tattoo on my shoulder "I Still Believe In You" with the date of my dad's passing. I was a smart mouth teen and my dad was a respectful man, so he wasn't having it and we clashed a lot. I came home one night, at 17, a note on the counter said "go to the CD player hit #10, heard this song made me think of you". Years later, we danced to the song for our father daughter dance at my wedding. It means so much bc he was a man of little words. Would love to see you react to it. R.I.P. Daddy 🙏❤️🩹
I guess I stood maybe 10 feet in front of Patty back in '88 at a thing in LA called Country Fest '88. Her big hit then was, "If My Heart Had Windows". Fell in love with her then & there! Vince is one of those guys who's been around so long, the '70's kept calling him back. Now he's singing with the Eagles! Together, these two are why us old guy's and gals prefer real country music... because its REAL. Just as the people in it are. Without genuine love for one another, what's the point? I don't know new country. When I hear it, I find I don't like it much. But these two, and who they're singing about, well... God bless them every one!
That is so sad 😭😭 make me cry my mom and dad brother heaven is beautiful place to go rest high on that mountain 🏔️ heaven had visiting hours go rest high on that mountain 🌄🏔️
George Jones used to call him Sweet Pea. He was so broke up when he sang this at George Jones funeral as you can see. I can't get enough of this song. It is so beautiful and so touching. Vince Gill is an amazing musician and a wonderful singer.
I was there. Sorry, didn't watch the whole video- haven't been able to re-watch that performance... I don't like crying, but I sure did the day Vince and Patty took to that stage.
Thanks PJ. Vince Gill wrote this song as a tribute to his brother who died several years ago. This song is played at funerals everywhere..He is perhaps one of the top five guitarist in Country Music. He has many hit songs to choose from
He started writing it as a tribute to Keith Whitley after KWs death (hence the "you were no stranger to the rain" lyric. He finished it later on after his brother passed away.
Another Vince Gill song is When I Call Your Name. It has Patty on backing vocals. Their voices are just so perfect together. They both have many hits, especially Vince. He also did backing vocals on Sara Evans' No Place That Far. It's a beautiful song too.
Always Beautiful! Ive heard this soo many times and it always gets me. The harmony is soo tight. Soo much emotion . You know vince feels it every time. Patty has to take over for him. Nothing more really needs said. Ive probly said too much now. Just great country music. From two of the biggest stars out there. And,man,can he play that guitar. They do a few duets , each one a classic. Im done now. F-DW.5/10/22.
It is, a great honor to George Jones, a very powerful tribute to the legend. Gill, recorded this is 1995, there is a common belief that Gill wrote this song for his brother, Bob, who passed from a heart attach in 1993. The fact is, Vince started writing this tune for another legendary baritone/tenor named Keith Whitley in 1989. Whitley was well know to fight the battle of vices we see so many times. Mr. Gill completed the song in 1993 at the passing of his brother to eulogize his life. Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs recorded with Gill as backup singers on this 1995 album. Vince Gill has recorded some of the finest Gospel music of all of them in my opinion. Thank you PJ, always enjoy your work !!
He originally started writing this when Keith Whitley died (fabulous singer) (no stranger to the rain was a Keith song) and finished it years later when his brother died. Absolutely beautiful. Master guitar player. Can’t go wrong with anything of his. One more last chance actually has Jones in the official video if you wanna check that out.
This was one of the most beautiful performances. Vince Gill is one of the greatest vocalists in country music history, but it's his beautiful heart that makes him such a treasure in Nashville. It's on full display with this tribute to George! I suggest you check out some of Vince's songs like "When I Call Your Name", "I Still Believe in You", or "The Heart Won't Lie" with Reba McEntire. I'm sure you'll enjoy them! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful reaction with us! God bless!
Beautiful to see Vince's good friend and work collaborator Patty, really taking care of him. He and George were friends and George was a mentor to Vince.
Patty picks him up and carries him when its to much for him . women are mens greatest strenth. I have said it before when George died i told my wife i have never lived in a world without a George Jones and didnt think i would like it. I was right
@@paulf4358 Are you still mad because you didn't have anyone sang this song to your funeral ⚱️ ? You are just a ghost picking on somebody who appreciate good music and you have already have lost your own soul to the lying devil.
My husband died just over 13 years ago and I had this song played at his funeral. It is my understanding that Amazing Grace was the number one song requested to be played at funerals until Vince wrote Go Rest High and now I believe it has replaced Amazing Grace as the number one song sung at funerals. The year my husband died, I attended four funerals that summer and this song was played at three of them. It's a beautiful song but it is one that I cannot listen to without crying and that's even if it isn't this super emotional performance by Vince and Patty. Other people have mentioned what a class act Patty was as she helped Vince through this song so I won't add a lot to what they have already said. I will just say, I agree, wholeheartedly.
I'm glad you introduced yourself to Vince Gill way back in the day he was in Pure Prairie League they had a few hits another one of those ridiculously talented singers and guitar players
I like the upload where they include the funny personal story Vince told about George sending him a bunch of cans of ravioli. George also personally nicknamed Vince "Sweat Pea". I remember watching an old video with multiple country stars telling stories, in which Vince talked about it. They were very close friends. Charlie Daniel's also gave an awesome eulogy at George's funeral. Charlie has a great way of putting things into words. Though it's strange for me to think about how Charlie was at this funeral to hear this performance. Because a couple of years ago, I watched Charlie's funeral service via a livestream, and Vince performed this song there too. So in an odd way, it's almost like Charlie got a front row seat to see a performances that was done at his own funeral. Though, Vince did it solo at Charlie's funeral and didn't break down.
Keith Whitley's death rocked the country music community, including his friend Vince Gill. Gill began writing "Go Rest High on That Mountain" after Whitley's death and finished the tune four years later, when Gill's brother passed away from a heart attack. 💔
The song was originally written about Keith Whitley in the first verse and his brother in the second. It is a powerful song and played frequently at funerals. Everytime I hear it, I get goose bumps. It's just one of those songs.
Such a moving song. I've not been to a family members or friends funeral where it has not been played. I just couldn't have it played at NY husband's funeral. It would have undone me completely.
It breaks me up seeing him unable to sing like that... and I fully understand why. If folks want to hear him singing the song fully, they need to go watch the official music video for the song. Vince can really belt them out, but was so emotionally overcome in this situation that he just did what he could do. Cheers.
Shows how much love Vince had for George. Alan Jackson sang He Stopped Loving Her Today at that same service. He made it all the way though, but you could still see the pain. I don’t know how it is in other genres, and I don’t know how it is with the most modern ‘country’ artists, but for many decades, Country Music was a community. Now you need to go hear what that really sounds like, it is so beautiful. Look up Vince Gill Go Rest High On That Mountain Official Music Video, singing with Patty and Ricky Skaggs. The song was inspired by the death of two men, Vince’s bother and Keith Whitley. Keith and Ricky Skaggs met as teens and played with Ralph Stanley’s bluegrass band. Both grew up to be very important forces in Country Music. Many of the lines of this song are directly referring to words and titles of Whitley’s songs. Keith was a great songwriter and singer, but he was a tortured soul. Keith wrote and recorded a song I’ve Done Everything Hank Did But Die, referencing Hank Sr. Then Keith did that, too, age 33 from alcohol poisoning. It as a sad day for Country Music. As for Vince and his voice, you have some real treats coming your way with him. SMOOTH. And he is another one, like Glen Campbell, that also is an accomplished guitarist. In addition to the above song, I recommend first, When I Call Your Name Official Music video. Also, Never Knew Lonely official video. I Still Believe In You. Nobody does that high lonesome sound better than Vince. And then when you want good laugh, watch The Notorious Cherry Bombs, It’s Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night (Official Video) with Vince and Rodney Crowell. They each dress up as the other’s wife. I like to watch this when I need a good chuckle in life. Rodney Crowell was the son in law of Johnny Cash and even recorded a song about Johnny and the first time he heard I Walk the Line. I was a very small child but I remember the first time I heard I Walk The Line, I though he was saying lion, not line. Rodney Crowell & Johnny Cash I Walk The Line Revisited
If you would like to hear the singer this song is about Keith Whitley I’m No Stranger To The Rain is a good place to start. And Between an Old Memory and Me. And a search on Keith Whitley Lorrie Morgan will find you duet of Keith and his wife Lorrie. Lorrie is the daughter of George Morgan and she is named after Loretta Lynn. A great singer in her own right.
This was a very fitting song for George Jones' funeral and emotions were so naturally expressed. Thanks much for your very apt reaction. In case you didn't know, Vince is now touring as a member of the legendary group The Eagles. He's a great vocalist and guitarist. I love a good bit of his past work. "One More Last Chance" is one light-hearted favorite of mine.
Vince is a golden soul. Patty has many jewels in her crown in heaven when she gets there. Two marvelous souls. Scandel free their entire careers and dedicated to making beautiful songs for mankind to enjoy. I expect both shall be in the heavenly choir with angels singing background harmony! August 2024.
When I was a kid they played his songs on the radio all the time I miss hearing his voice. He was so smooth.
The way Patti strps up along side Vince as he needs. Great abilities & talents working in union
Even the guitar cried. Gut wrenching. 💔
Vince is one of the best guitar players!
There is so much raw and deep emotion here. To hear his voice start to crack gets me each and every time I watch this video.
This song is among the elite songs...one of the best...this song has some of Gods spirit about it too...makes me bout cry everytime
Like you … I adore Patty Loveless’ soaring vocals …
Vince has the voice of an angel. Patty is just amazing. Thank you for this
I cant listen to this song without crying.
Beautiful song by a beautiful soul
Sweet PEa'sw tribute was the most touching thing i ever witnessed. bless him and the possum
Such an emotional song. Been in love with Patty's music since I first heard "I Did".
He and the Legend George were very close friends. That coupled with the fact that he had written this song for his brother when he passed contributed to his trouble maintaining composure. Bless his heart.
Get goosebumps everytime I hear this song.
Such a beautiful song. If Keith Whitley could just have conquered his alcoholism, he passed so young. So so sad.
Words cannot express my feelings about this song. Simply beautiful.
Vince voice is pure silk
They sang on each others first albums and never stopped.
Loved how Patty comforter him. Vince has joined touring with the Eagles
I believe this was at a tribute concert after the legendary George Jones had passed away, and Vince was very close to George! You can hear the pain in the voice as he sings!
i can never watch this one without crying, doesn't matter if it's the 1st time or the 50th
There were times he couldn't sing and Patty had to step in like a true friend. But Vince never stopped playing. Much love and respect,
There is no denying Patty Loveless.
Vince wrote this song after his brother died. He and Patty Loveless sound amazing together.
Watching the great Garth Brooks rise silently.....hat in hand....as a show of respect for the pain sweetpea was feeling during this tribute.....tears me up EVERY TIME I watch this. And I've watched this many times.
Yeah, Garth was all class.Trish too.
Patty is a class act! WhT a way to get someone through that moment!
Cousins do that for each other.
When my sister laying dying from cancer 3 years ago we would play this song over and over for her and she would rest easier while it was playing. It was her favorite. Now her daughters, grandchildren and I gather on her birthday and play it as a tribute to her. Vince is my favorite male voice of all time. This song has been played by so many families for funerals ever since he released it I've lost track of how many times I've heard it. Vince and Patty Loveless were a magical duo for this song 🎵. 🥀
This version of the song always makes me cry right along with Vince Gill 😓😓😓. Never fails to happen.
He was very emotional that day. Patty did a great job supporting him during this one.
You're listening to a masterpiece guitar solo right there.
GREAT Song
The STRENGTH of Patty Loveless in this moment...
This is the one of the most beautiful songs ever written!! Vince Gill is the best. Vince is also with the Eagles now!!
This was an incredibly hard task for Vince to do. He wrote the first verse for his friend the great Keith Whitley after he passed away.

Thanks for the info.i didn't know about brother. Bravo to them both. They sing like angels on earth.
I personally think Patty Loveless' voice blends more perfectly with Vince's.
I had no idea that it was actually written for Whitley. Such a damned awful way to die. A beautiful man with the voice of an angel.
@@ozarklisa1199 the line “you were no stranger to the rain” was a hint about Keith.

@@angieday5183 Thanks,I thought I heard him say sister once, missed the wish part
Beautiful song. Vince’s beautiful tribute to his brother who passed.. 🙏
Another Vince Gill song is When I Call Your Name. It has Patty on backing vocals. Their voices are just so perfect together. They both have many hits, especially Vince. He also did backing vocals on Sara Evans' No Place That Far. It's a beautiful song too.
Glad you got to this one PJ.
Always Beautiful! Ive heard this soo many times and it always gets me. The harmony is soo tight. Soo much emotion . You know vince feels it every time. Patty has to take over for him. Nothing more really needs said. Ive probly said too much now. Just great country music. From two of the biggest stars out there. And,man,can he play that guitar. They do a few duets , each one a classic. Im done now. F-DW.5/10/22.
My respect for Garth grew 10x when he stood up to show respect for George and to let Vince know he was not up there alone
It is, a great honor to George Jones, a very powerful tribute to the legend. Gill, recorded this is 1995, there is a common belief that Gill wrote this song for his brother, Bob, who passed from a heart attach in 1993. The fact is, Vince started writing this tune for another legendary baritone/tenor named Keith Whitley in 1989. Whitley was well know to fight the battle of vices we see so many times. Mr. Gill completed the song in 1993 at the passing of his brother to eulogize his life. Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs recorded with Gill as backup singers on this 1995 album. Vince Gill has recorded some of the finest Gospel music of all of them in my opinion. Thank you PJ, always enjoy your work !!
Probably Vince's most beautiful and popular song and he and Patty have always sounded wonderful together ( and separately)
He originally started writing this when Keith Whitley died (fabulous singer) (no stranger to the rain was a Keith song) and finished it years later when his brother died. Absolutely beautiful. Master guitar player. Can’t go wrong with anything of his. One more last chance actually has Jones in the official video if you wanna check that out.
That's country music right there.
No, He wrote the song for His brothers funeral
This song always makes me cry 😢 I’m an old lady and I still miss my mom and dad. Thank you for your reaction 👵🏼☮️❤️🙏🏼
I believe Vince Gill is the most talented man alive!
Well, stay tuned. I have another Vince song ready to drop any moment.
This was one of the most beautiful performances. Vince Gill is one of the greatest vocalists in country music history, but it's his beautiful heart that makes him such a treasure in Nashville. It's on full display with this tribute to George! I suggest you check out some of Vince's songs like "When I Call Your Name", "I Still Believe in You", or "The Heart Won't Lie" with Reba McEntire. I'm sure you'll enjoy them! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful reaction with us! God bless!
Beautiful to see Vince's good friend and work collaborator Patty, really taking care of him. He and George were friends and George was a mentor to Vince.
Vince can make that guitar talk words
This always makes me cry :) Try more Vince Gill & Patty Loveless 'Pockets of Gold'? I like your reactions :)
This song was originally written by Vince about his brother that he lost, struggled with addiction.
Patty picks him up and carries him when its to much for him . women are mens greatest strenth. I have said it before when George died i told my wife i have never lived in a world without a George Jones and didnt think i would like it. I was right
That’s a lot of bullshit son
@@paulf4358 how so?
@@paulf4358 Are you still mad because you didn't have anyone sang this song to your funeral ⚱️ ? You are just a ghost picking on somebody who appreciate good music and you have already have lost your own soul to the lying devil.
@@paulf4358 you are the one speaking Bullshit
My husband died just over 13 years ago and I had this song played at his funeral. It is my understanding that Amazing Grace was the number one song requested to be played at funerals until Vince wrote Go Rest High and now I believe it has replaced Amazing Grace as the number one song sung at funerals. The year my husband died, I attended four funerals that summer and this song was played at three of them. It's a beautiful song but it is one that I cannot listen to without crying and that's even if it isn't this super emotional performance by Vince and Patty. Other people have mentioned what a class act Patty was as she helped Vince through this song so I won't add a lot to what they have already said. I will just say, I agree, wholeheartedly.
I agree too
I'm glad you introduced yourself to Vince Gill way back in the day he was in Pure Prairie League they had a few hits another one of those ridiculously talented singers and guitar players
I like the upload where they include the funny personal story Vince told about George sending him a bunch of cans of ravioli. George also personally nicknamed Vince "Sweat Pea". I remember watching an old video with multiple country stars telling stories, in which Vince talked about it. They were very close friends.
Charlie Daniel's also gave an awesome eulogy at George's funeral. Charlie has a great way of putting things into words.
Though it's strange for me to think about how Charlie was at this funeral to hear this performance. Because a couple of years ago, I watched Charlie's funeral service via a livestream, and Vince performed this song there too. So in an odd way, it's almost like Charlie got a front row seat to see a performances that was done at his own funeral. Though, Vince did it solo at Charlie's funeral and didn't break down.
Keith Whitley's death rocked the country music community, including his friend Vince Gill. Gill began writing "Go Rest High on That Mountain" after Whitley's death and finished the tune four years later, when Gill's brother passed away from a heart attack. 💔
what a great song... Patty had a song that i liked a lot "Blame it on your heart" that you may like to respond to.
One of my favorite Vince Gill Songs is called When I Call Your Name.
If you get a chance listen to it.
It shows the real range of his vocals.
The song was originally written about Keith Whitley in the first verse and his brother in the second. It is a powerful song and played frequently at funerals. Everytime I hear it, I get goose bumps. It's just one of those songs.
Poor Vince . Keeping it together. ♥️😇 There is a version where you can hear their harmonies much better when Vince isn’t crying
This song was played at my sister's funeral , she died one month after our mom passed. Always tears me up
Such a moving song. I've not been to a family members or friends funeral where it has not been played. I just couldn't have it played at NY husband's funeral. It would have undone me completely.
He originally wrote this song for his brother but I think they use it now at just about every country singer funeral.
It breaks me up seeing him unable to sing like that... and I fully understand why. If folks want to hear him singing the song fully, they need to go watch the official music video for the song. Vince can really belt them out, but was so emotionally overcome in this situation that he just did what he could do. Cheers.
Shows how much love Vince had for George. Alan Jackson sang He Stopped Loving Her Today at that same service. He made it all the way though, but you could still see the pain. I don’t know how it is in other genres, and I don’t know how it is with the most modern ‘country’ artists, but for many decades, Country Music was a community.
Now you need to go hear what that really sounds like, it is so beautiful. Look up Vince Gill Go Rest High On That Mountain Official Music Video, singing with Patty and Ricky Skaggs. The song was inspired by the death of two men, Vince’s bother and Keith Whitley. Keith and Ricky Skaggs met as teens and played with Ralph Stanley’s bluegrass band. Both grew up to be very important forces in Country Music. Many of the lines of this song are directly referring to words and titles of Whitley’s songs. Keith was a great songwriter and singer, but he was a tortured soul. Keith wrote and recorded a song I’ve Done Everything Hank Did But Die, referencing Hank Sr. Then Keith did that, too, age 33 from alcohol poisoning. It as a sad day for Country Music.
As for Vince and his voice, you have some real treats coming your way with him. SMOOTH. And he is another one, like Glen Campbell, that also is an accomplished guitarist. In addition to the above song, I recommend first, When I Call Your Name Official Music video. Also, Never Knew Lonely official video. I Still Believe In You. Nobody does that high lonesome sound better than Vince.
And then when you want good laugh, watch The Notorious Cherry Bombs, It’s Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night (Official Video) with Vince and Rodney Crowell. They each dress up as the other’s wife. I like to watch this when I need a good chuckle in life. Rodney Crowell was the son in law of Johnny Cash and even recorded a song about Johnny and the first time he heard I Walk the Line. I was a very small child but I remember the first time I heard I Walk The Line, I though he was saying lion, not line. Rodney Crowell & Johnny Cash I Walk The Line Revisited
If you would like to hear the singer this song is about Keith Whitley I’m No Stranger To The Rain is a good place to start. And Between an Old Memory and Me. And a search on Keith Whitley Lorrie Morgan will find you duet of Keith and his wife Lorrie. Lorrie is the daughter of George Morgan and she is named after Loretta Lynn. A great singer in her own right.
This was a very fitting song for George
Jones' funeral and emotions were so naturally expressed.
Thanks much for your very apt reaction.
In case you didn't know, Vince is now touring as a member of the legendary group The Eagles. He's a great vocalist and guitarist.
I love a good bit of his past work. "One More Last Chance" is one light-hearted favorite of mine.
Vince Gill is another artist that had a lot of great hits.
You’ll thank yourself later if you check out more of his songs.
That was a beautiful moment, I remember it, Great music felt from the absolute soul!
