Coming Soon!!! Classic Country Backstories
He awesome to country music
With pen 🖊️ in hand I try to write this note to you
It’s nice to be A WELL UNKNOWN SINGER SONGWRITER 😉
Nothing more entertaining than writing a song
City lights and once a day
Blessed song writer
Awesome!!❤
Thank you so much!
A great singer!
Yes he was!
Love the history! Can't wait to hear more.
Ferlin was incredible! I don't know any other country singer who had such diverse talents. He rock you and make you cry and make you laugh in one stroke. He is missed for sure 😢😅
That's for sure! Thanks for your comments.
i love Mel Street. At age 78 now I still hear many of his songs playing in the back of my mind.
Wonderful presentation, I feel one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard is MY FATE IS IN YOUR HANDS I feel it should have been a country music standard!
WHAT A WONDERFUL ARTIST... I LISTEN TO HIM OFTEN... BRINGS BACK SUCH FOUND MEMORIES... THANK YOU
Do songwriters write the words and the music, or just the words?
Once again, A great show,,,, Maryjohn wrote Long Black Veil,,, Great show Loved it!!!!
Thank you Penny!
im friends with david and leftys youngest brother allen they all sing so great and they were raised to treat everybody w respect. thank you for this
Thank you so much for commenting! David was great to visit with!
Happy heavenly birthday Mel Street, miss you
My all-time favorite recording artist! Seeing him in concert was always a thrill!
My favorite song is & was LONG BLACK VEIL.
It's such a great song. David will go into more detail on the song in Part Two of my interview with him. Don't miss it!
One of the most influential country artist in history. In my top 5 . Many copycats Merle Haggard,Keith Whitney,John Anderson,Gene Watson,Johnny Rodriguez,Randy Travis etc. Good singers but not the original. I listen to Lefty 3 to 4 days a week. I have to get my fix.
You have great taste in music! Lefty was definitely one of the best ever!
Always late" and Saginaw Michigan" The hags hero, what can i say. Great singer!
Lefty was also very good to Merle. He was such a big mentor for so many.
@@ClassicCountryBackstories Very true 👍
""Long black veil", is a timeless Classic
That's for sure!
Love Bill Anderson
A friend of mine who is a very successful producer worked in his band for quite a while. He speaks highly of Luman; it’s obvious he loves the man. I’ve never heard anyone who had a bad word to say about Bob Luman.
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for commenting.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mel ; he was such a nice man and talented
Hey there I love your channel keep up the good work can you please do vince gill or hank Williams Jr or red foley story.
Thank you so much for the nice words! I would imagine I will do all of these guys at some point. Keep watching!
Hi, thanks for your work. David Houston would be a great one to do.
I always wondered why Tennessee became the Country Music Capital versus Alabama or Georgia or North Carolina? 🤔
I can't say for sure, but I would guess that the Grand Ole Opry and WSM was a big driving force behind the momentum of Country Music.
Great Video. Keep up the good work with your voiceovers.👍🏾😬
Thank you! 😁
Suicide is not the way! PLEASE SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP! REST AND STAY AWAY FROM SOMETHING OR SOMEONE THAT IS STRESSING. Please don’t die. God loves you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Absolutely! Mel Street had so much to live for. He was such and incredible talent.
I’ve been keeping up with your great series. I noticed a picture of Stringbean 🪕 in your intro and wondered if you are planning a feature on him.
Yes. I will definitely be doing one on him in the future. Fascinating story.
Very nice encapsulation and narration. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words. It's a labor of love.
Sad......
For sure!
😮 -
Jean Shepherd is the first female country star I liked. Blanket on the ground is great sounds. Awesome lady.
She was one of a kind!
I liked Another Day Another Dollar
Sad how he died
Yes, and so young.
RIP to Adams County, Ohio native Lloyd Cowboy Copas.
Copas was a great entertainer.
@@ClassicCountryBackstories Amen.
I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him backstage at the Opry in 1997, told him we were from Texas and was very impressed with his handshake, his total interest and pleasure that we were there and our thoughts and opinions of Nashville and country music in general...
He is very genuine. I'm so happy we got to visit with him. He has a great sense of humor too!
I love Mel Street. He left us way to soon
I agree. It's hard telling where his career would have gone. Such a massive talent.
Great video 📹
Thank you so much!
Great video 📹
Thank you so much!
I love this guy.
Me too!
Mel was one my favorite.
What a talent!
Johnny is for sure one of the most underated singer/songwriters in Country Music. I was a fan way back when, and I am still a fan today, about 60 years later. No matter the struggles, he always came back strong, thanks for all the music and memories JR!
He still performs occasionally. He was in Nashville for awhile, but returned to Texas.
Great singer. very underrated, sang with huge emotion.
He had so many great songs too!
I ALWAYS LIKE HIM
I LOVE MEL STREET
I loved his TV show in the 60s and glad to see him doing well. And an exceptional interview.
Thank you so much for commenting. He is gre!at
Great documentary! Nashville was the best place I ever lived.
It really is!
Great video. I would love to hear Curtis Cook sing.
Curt is a great singer and songwriter! He's also a great friend!
Hawkshaw was my 2nd cousin, Jr is my 3rd. Grew up just a few miles from Hawkshaw's home in Huntington, WV.
That's awesome! I hope you enjoyed the episode. Hawk was such a talented guy!
