I am black and my dad was a trucker and I grew up on Jerry Clower! Trust me he was not a racist. He was simply one of the greatest funny men off all time.
I love ur story and agree. Grew up in Louisiana taking baths with my nanny's 2 kids that were black, in a huge metal outdoor basin. Mom died when I was eight. I'm 55 now. I loved that woman and she was my fill-in momma when I needed her. Classy lady that taught me so much.
I am a 32 year old black man and I grew up listening to Jerry Clower with my father . These stories bring back to memory of some of my best child hood memories. Any idiot who would say that he is talking about lynching blacks is just plain dumb and really does not understand southern humor.
I'm a woman of color and grew up listening to Jerry Clower with my grandmother and great grandmother in Raleigh NC .. especially on the road while traveling out of state going to Kings Dominion or Six Flags of Georgia.. Awwww the good old days. Great memories.. I'm 51 now. ❤
Well , i'm thirty-five, and I can honestly say yes . Those are some great memories , and yes , I enjoyed listening to jerry clower stories on our long family road trips. 😂😂😂😂
Yes mam, was born Near Moncks Corner , South Carolina parents ran motel and trips from there to visit my grandmother in TN Jerry Clover was some of my best memories of my childhood life. A world that doesn't exist probably never did. God bless you and yours.
I am a black man born in rural Georgia and Jeryy Clower is one of the best old time comedians ever. Man does not curse and tell s funny stories about how he grew up and what life in Mississippi was like. Its all jokes and good ones at that. people grow up and enjoy, laughter is the best medicine!
Im black and was a DJ back when i was younger and i would mix Jerry Clower jokes in with my music while DJ-ing in the clubs and people thought it was the funniest thing to do while playing music and they really enjoyed it to the fullest 👍 up to Jerry Clower, one of the funniest man during his time on this planet.
I graduated from Mississippi College in Clinton MS and when they announced the commencement speaker as Jerry Clower, I was pissed. I spent a lot of money on my education and now we have a comic for the graduation speaker. Well boy oh boy was I wrong. Mr Clower gave the very best graduation speech I have ever heard and I was proud to shake his hand when I got my diploma. What an amazing person. I miss him so much. Thanks for reading.
My name is Kristian Elisabeth Clower and i am very proud that i was close kin to this man. :) I'm only 15 but i know that i have a good thing going for me when i say that being related to this man has opened many a door. I only met him once i was a rowdy lil' girl four when i met him, two months before his heart bypass. God bless him, but he made me laugh so hard i literally pee'd myself adn my momma had to go and clean me. I wish you could have known this man like i had.
I lived in Macon GA and my son was just born. I'd get up to feed him his 3 AM bottle and listen to WWL New Orleans on my radio. That's when I first heard Jerry Clower. I laughed so hard I woke my son up. Nov. 1971.
Jerry was a great American. My entire family would travel all over the United States listening to this great American. I'm from Jackson, Mississippi and my daddy loved to tell stories and one of his idols was Jerry Clower. By the way, as a black man, I think Jerry was one of the best comedians ever. Knock him out Jonnnhn!! I was stationed in Germany and would listen to Jerry to bring my mind right back to Mississippi.
I am a 38 yr old black woman from Winter park, fl. My father used to play Mr. Cowlers tape anytime we were on the road. Better yet anytime we were in a vehicle. Man this guy was so funny. I know he was God laughing
When I was 10 years old, I saved my allowance and bought a Jerry Clower album at the local Western Auto store. Things have changed a little since 1973.....
@@killerseddie8295 My Dad was a long haul driver so we had tons of truck stop cassettes like Jerry Clower and Ray Stevens, as well as Old Time Radio stuff like Skelton and Benny. I still love them all to this day.
No I am sorry I have always been the greatest the best there was the best there is the best there will ever be . Now what do you got to say. Me I say I am just joking with you . He was the greatest
All I can say is is a damn shame that certain groups make this kind of comedy against social acceptance to put it kindly. But what they fail to realise is that Jerry was born and raised in a different time and this is why he has honest to goodness great stories and that is exactly what they are. What he says is not racist or discriminatory it is just the stories of his life as he lived them simple as that.
I am a 50 yr old black man from Ky. Jerry Clower along with Jerry Reed, Ray Stevens and The whole HeeHaw gang kept me in stiches for most of my teen years. I have never heard a racist word from any of them. I don't know what they said in the privacy of their own kitchen but it was always funny stuff just like Richard Pryor minus cussin'.
Gee I am a 46 yr old American, and I would watch HeeHaw every Saturday on PBS with my Granddaddy and yes your right they were great and no they never said a racist word in public, great comedy!
Funny man. I grew up in McComb listening to Jerry. He was amazing. His brother Sonny & my daddy were coffee buddies in the mornings. They said they'd sit around, have coffee and lie to each other. Great memories!
I was born and raised in McComb. My maternal grandparents lived in Liberty. My mamaw worked at the public library right across from the Little Red Schoolhouse and by Blalock's grocery store. This was back in the early 80s. So many memories spending summers there.
I had a great flight from Atlanta to Jackson, Mississippi sitting next to Jerry Clower. I told him I first heard him while stationed in Vietnam and his stories always made me homesick. What a great God fearing man!
im black and my father was a mississippian born and bred in yazoo city miss. He loved Jerry Clower and he turned me on to him and i do as well. grew up listening to him and listening to another great mississippian Charlie Pride. great americans and certain mr clower was no racists
Kevin Jackson most people back then grew up poor like I did. hell poor people were all the same color made no difference we just tried to survive my best friend growing up name was Jeff he just happened to be black he was killed when he 30 motorcycle accident his mama came to my house to tell me because she knew it would be hard for me she wasn't thinking about losing Jeff but me being hurt my God she was a amazing women she's passed to I can't remember ever hurting more in my life when Jeff died I still can't except it.God Bless
I was privileged to meet Jerry twice and it was as if I'd known him all my life...such a sweet and gentle man...I was in my mid 30s when I read of his passing in the newspaper...I sat down and cried. He was a true original...there'll never be another one like him
No unfortunately there will not because the people of today would plainly hate them out of a career if anyone dared to tell stories like his and that says more about what kind of people they then it says about anyone then the person they are talking about. The sad fact is he was raised in a different time when things were harder and you had work your ass off to get ahead and he was one of the lucky that was able to talk about his life and make a profit and one of few that used that to give back. Great loves for him and all he stood for and very sad we will not see another like him.❤💔
I grew up listening to this with my grandpa in his vault company truck. We were putting coffins in the ground listening to Jerry clower every Saturday morning
A wonderful man l listen to him When he was touring with Jim Ed Brown A Godly man of integrity leavening this World in a twinkling of a eye to be with Lord .
When I was a kid, we used to cruise Lake Texoma in the summer with ole Jerry Clower on the 8 track in the boat. The adults were drinking beer and having a good time while us kids were just laughing our butts off. Good times.
thank you for these. My daddy used to do Jerry Clower Impersonations. he sounded just like him. when I hear Jerry Clower, I hear my daddy. today is my dad's birthday, November 4th, he passed away in 2006. I needed to hear some Jerry Clower today!! a lot of special memories!!
I had the distinct privelage of seeing/hearing Mr. Clower speak at a Georgia Baptist State Convention one year when our choir from the GA. Baptist Hospital School of Nursing performed. He was wonderful. And clean humor! Something you aren't afraid for your children or grandchildren OR your Momma to listen to! Can't wait to meet him in Heaven on day!
Got to meet him once after his show. Jerry talked to my friend and I for about 20 minutes. One of the nicest guy I ever know. His stories reminds me of some of the things I did when I was a kid.
one of the greatest me and my papa would listen to him on his truck trips when i was little. one of my favorite things was stopping by the truck stops because they had the best selection of jerry clower on cassete tapes
+Eric Vickery Met him in Greenville NC and actually had the honor of spending time with him at the East Carolina Farm Show.. Great man on and off the stage
I grew up listening to Jerry on the radio. My family had absolutely no problem whenever i bought one of his album. They didn't have to listen to it first to see if it was decent for a little girl. The values and stories were of the life around us.. God Bless You Jerry Clower. The Lord is surely laughing with you.
I have so much nostalgia about Jerry clower, Because when I was a kid I would listen to his jokes and laugh my head off, while wewould be on our road trips😂😂😂
I was fortunate enough to Mr Jerry Clower once as a teenager at a Ga State Fair, then again 25 years later with my wife and children at Wild Adventures theme park. Now my daughter is also a Jerry Clower Fan! Glad I was able to see him before he passed. Hope he's performing at Heavens Grand Ole Opry!
Jerry once defined a comedian as a perswon who tells funny stories and a humorist as a person who tells stories funny. He certainly is a humorist - and one of the best.
I love this story. It cracks me up everytime I hear it. I wish I had the chance to meet him or hear him live, but he will live on in recordings and stories
I got a chance to see him in 1992 in Lake City with my High school agri class. It was everything you would've hoped it be. My only regret is that at the time I wasn't fully aware of just what a great life experience it was. Since then I've come to realize and appreciate it. A great great man.
I'm only 56 YO right now, but Jerry Clower was part of the bread and butter I grew up on. It's Feb of 2022, and this in the first time I've heard this routine in well over 50 years. I almost remembered it word for word... Loved every second of it. Thank you.
My gramps and my dad loved listening to jerry and now I love going back and listening to these stories. he truly captured a part of time and America that does not exist anymore.
I'm 50 and was introduced to this great comedian as a young child around 11 or 12 my DAD had a great sense humor thanks oldman I love you R.I.P to you and Mr Clover !!!!!
I had the privilege of seeing Jerry just months before he died. I had heard him all my life and was finally able to see him. It was amazing. None better.
My best friend Bunky had his album in the 70s and played this story , I thought I never quit laughing. I became of a fan of Jerry's forever. I got to meet him twice in person from his concerts. He was a very nice man and would stay till everyone got a picture and autograph. He would talk with everyone. God Bless him ....
So did I. Me & my cousins played his tapes so much we knew his stories by heart. And we laughed each time we listened just as hard as we did the first time...til tears ran! 🤣😂🤣
I got to see Jerry several times. I could hear him over & over & I'd still laugh till I cried. I will never forget talking to him at breakfast one morning. He was just as common & real as he seemed. I told him how much I appreciated his telling stories without being vulgar. He thanked me & asked me a question. That's about all but I'll remember it always. There is no one to replace Jerry in my books!!
Had this one memorized as a kid....gonna do it again!!! Listened to brother Jerry a lot in those days. I'm 50 now. Life shure woulda been lackluster without the great Mr. Clower and Justin Wilson, who I'm sure borrowed and Cajunized a few of these tales. But that's ok too. Keep us all laughing. We NEED IT NOW JERRY!! Merry Christmas to all
Love listening to Jerry, I can remember on our way to my grandparents my dad would have him on the radio-he would laugh so hard tears would run down his face. Hearing this one makes me smile and have such good memories and remember my dad.
In 1985 @ MCAGCC 29 Palms, my friends and I listened to Jerry Clower in a Motor Transport Maintenance 2.5 ton box van. In the middle of the Mojave Desert, it can get mighty cold and lonely during the Winter months. Jerry Clower had us all laughing and forgetting how nasty the CHICKEN-A-LA-KING - MRE tasted!
I was blessed to have met Jerry in Liberty Mississippi in the General store on Broad street. He was so cheerful and just a pleasant man to be around. There were some older men there about his age all talking local farming and politics . I was a Log truck hauler going from Bogalusa Louisiana to St Francisville Louisiana and had to pass thru Liberty Mississippi a couple times a day. He just gave off a Pleasant Godly feeling being around him.
Jerry IS the funniest comedian I have ever heard!!! The blessing is he does it without cursing. May the Lord Jesus always keep him. Thank you for posting this brother.
The last time I saw Jerry was in 1971 at the old Orangeburg Mall in Orangeburg SC. He was wearing a banana yellow leisure suit and was so funny & loveable. I can hear my Dad laughing in heaven right now -sitting around listening to Jerry Clower. His favorite comedian.
Saw Jerry Clower at a farm show in Goldsboro, N.C. 25 years ago. He had on a baby blue tuxedo and white shoes. I'll never forget it, the funniest man what ever told a story....
I got to meet Jerry Clower in '81 or '82. I ran into him in a restaurant in Jackson, MS. He was the friendliest, most gracious celebrity I ever met. He was a Godly man, and a national treasure. I'm saddened that he's no longer with us.
wish i was old enough yrs ago to go see him when i was young boy listen to his tape my dad bring home from the truck stops ..now he is gone from us and ill never get to see him live :( what a great man and love all the story's telling then listen over and over never got old.. ....
Thanks to these recordings we can remember that generation (my parents') even though almost all have gone to be with the Lord. My daddy's family were sharecroppers, moved place to place in Sunflower County Mississippi in the twenties, thirties and forties and to hear them tell stories when I was a kid, that family was the luckiest family on earth, it seemed to me. of

Grew up watching him on Nashville Now every weekend
Love that Jerry Clower. He was the greatest country comedian. He was a Godly man and I know he has all of Heaven laughing.
He was the greatest speaker and storyteller I’ve ever heard in my entire life! More than just funny but the humor made it so great

We NEED IT NOW JERRY!! Merry Christmas to all

i'm from mississipi, and have upmost respect for jerry clower, he told it the way it was. i listened to stories from my dad had to tell.
Love listening to Jerry, I can remember on our way to my grandparents my dad would have him on the radio-he would laugh so hard tears would run down his face. Hearing this one makes me smile and have such good memories and remember my dad.
He was tearing up because he had to leave you guys. He laughed because Jerry is the funniest ever.
My Uncle got me listening to Jerry Clower bout 24 yrs ago. And I always listen to him and I'm glad he got me listening to him
I grew up listening to Jerry Clower...My Brother and I had all of his albums memorized.Thank You for the collection
My daddy used to play this in the car all the time!!! Good times
One of his best ones me and my dad used to get his tapes and ride all day listening to him used to laugh so much boy this takes me back good memories
I LOVED Jerry CLower. I'm so glad he shared such laughter and joy with so many of us.
I LOVE Jerry Clower. He was a true southern gentleman and his stories brought and still brings laughter to many lives.
In 1985 @ MCAGCC 29 Palms, my friends and I listened to Jerry Clower in a Motor Transport Maintenance 2.5 ton box van.
In the middle of the Mojave Desert, it can get mighty cold and lonely during the Winter months.
Jerry Clower had us all laughing and forgetting how nasty the CHICKEN-A-LA-KING - MRE tasted!
I was blessed to have met Jerry in Liberty Mississippi in the General store on Broad street. He was so cheerful and just a pleasant man to be around. There were some older men there about his age all talking local farming and politics . I was a Log truck hauler going from Bogalusa Louisiana to St Francisville Louisiana and had to pass thru Liberty Mississippi a couple times a day. He just gave off a Pleasant Godly feeling being around him.
The world needs more Clower
Used to listen to Clower with my dad growing up. Reminds me of dad and some great memories to this day... Thanks for the upload!
Grew up on Jerry Clower. He was a fine man and a great entertainer.
Jerry Clower could tell a story that would knock your socks off! Such enthusiasm has never been sence his day.
I grew up listening to Jerry with my dad. He was supposed to perform at the county fair near me the week he passed away and I was heartbroken.
One of my Dads favorites. A classic!
one of my favorites also :-)
This is one of our old time favorites. Jon Webb and all my hunting buddies got a kick out of Jerry Flower's stories.
Sure miss good clean stories like this. Loved Jerry Clower !
Saw he and listening to him at maybe his final show before he died. Always enjoy him.
Jerry preached at our church years ago. He was wearing his white suit and red boots. He was wonderful.
Jerry IS the funniest comedian I have ever heard!!! The blessing is he does it without cursing. May the Lord Jesus always keep him. Thank you for posting this brother.
I'd never heard of him before tonight .. He is Hilarious!
There will never be another one like him
was blessed to see him twice before God called him home.very funny
The last time I saw Jerry was in 1971 at the old Orangeburg Mall in Orangeburg SC. He was wearing a banana yellow leisure suit and was so funny & loveable. I can hear my Dad laughing in heaven right now -sitting around listening to Jerry Clower. His favorite comedian.
Saw Jerry Clower at a farm show in Goldsboro, N.C. 25 years ago. He had on a baby blue tuxedo and white shoes. I'll never forget it, the funniest man what ever told a story....
Still enjoy listening to Jerry Clower
Outstanding! I can't listen to this story enough. You can tell that Clower lived the life he tells in his stories.
this has always been the best comedain, and i am glad to see that i can listen to him once more. even though he is gone
I got to meet Jerry Clower in '81 or '82. I ran into him in a restaurant in Jackson, MS. He was the friendliest, most gracious celebrity I ever met. He was a Godly man, and a national treasure. I'm saddened that he's no longer with us.
Best story teller of all time..
Saw him live in 1978, I will never forget him.
My Grandma turned me on to Jerry Clower when I was 7 or 8 years old. Growing up out in the country I could relate with his stories a lot.
wish i was old enough yrs ago to go see him when i was young boy listen to his tape my dad bring home from the truck stops ..now he is gone from us and ill never get to see him live :( what a great man and love all the story's telling then listen over and over never got old..
....
Sounds like how I grew up in the holler in Kentucky...lol
Thanks to these recordings we can remember that generation (my parents')
even though almost all have gone to be with the Lord.
My daddy's family were sharecroppers, moved place to place in Sunflower County
Mississippi in the twenties, thirties and forties and to hear them tell stories when I
was a kid, that family was the luckiest family on earth, it seemed to me.
of
They don’t make ‘em like him no more. One of a kind.
