Thank You Don he is a super entertainer and one of my mom'ma favorite singers. Try his song There's a Stranger in my House.Ronnie is always a great class act.
Ronnie milsap what a beautiful voice he is one of a kind he is blind but he still plays the paino I remember where I was the very first time I heard this song fall in love with the song and Ronnie milsap
Great classic country song! Ronnie was a fantastic entertainer. Thanks for tossing in classics like this every now and then! Another great classic if you will play it is Barbara Mandrell "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool".
love this song and also his song " That girl who waits on tables " i believe you will like this song also , Thank You for this wonderful Country music you are playing!!
Ronnie Milsap has always been my constant; I started loving him in the 20/20 Vision days. Other artist/boy bands have come and gone. I will forever love Ronnie Milsap. As far as I am concern; all I want to hear is Ronnie; being a singer myself I hear how great he is.
Nice Don!! Ronnie is awesome! Love his voice, and his piano playing is beautiful. Please do listen to more of his music you will definitely enjoy it. I love his song called , It Was Almost Like A Song. I know you will love it!
I live and grew up 30 minutes from his home town and my stepfather was from the same town. I saw him along time ago in concert and it was a great show. We live in God's mountain it's heaven on earth here.
Fabulous entertainer! Stranger in my house and It was Almost Like a Song have a little more substance. Thank you for this review. So many of the singers back then have been forgotten!
Don, bless ya. Unfortunately you are hearing a very subdued version for the fist time. It was a 1980 tv appearance, had to be watered down. This is not the original recording. Find it and listen to it, you will appreciate it so much more.
My favorite song when I was little, Still one of my favorites today! Ronnie's vocals are amazing! Beautiful voice! "There's no gettin over me" is a great song well all his songs are great!
Thank you very much for reacting to this. Well said! I don't have very many favorite (or even liked) songs from the 80s, but this is one of the ones I've always enjoyed. I don't even know how I ever HEARD it, because I had teenagers listening to indie music, then the beginnings of alternative, back then, and my oldest boy discovering and thriving on Metallica until they were THOROUGHLY metal, instead of any type of alternative. Ronnie was someone I could listen to to keep my sanity, sometimes! I'm joking, but I'm also serious! My youngest son was a teen when alternative hit its peak, when we were living in Aberdeen, Washington. He was always bringing me things to listen to from, say (with a shudder), Nirvana (Kurt Cobain was born and raised in Aberdeen), telling me had finally found some music that was "entirely new" that I NEEDED to hear. So I'd listen, and then find something on the internet that would totally refute the premise of "totally new." I repeatedly told him, "There's nothing new under the sun, son!" ;-) "Been there...tried it...done it...next?" Yes...Kurt's artistry was great, but...he really wasn't doing anything that hadn't been done before. Seriously...there honestly isn't anything new in music. Music has cycled and cycled through the ages, and always will. By the mid-2000s, my youngest boy (as an adult) and I could at least agree on Adele's artistry. Basically, he had followed through to discover the "totally new" sound of...old-style country! "Rolling in the Deep" (Adele) ruclips.net/video/rYEDA3JcQqw/видео.html "Hello" (Adele) ruclips.net/video/YQHsXMglC9A/видео.html Enjoy! ;-)
As I got older I came to appreciate Ronnie Milsap's music... When I was younger, I would get frustrated scrolling the dials looking for some Outlaw Country and every other station was playing his songs... Heard he has a new album coming out soon?
He has a new album full of duets from what I heard. I just saw a post on Instagram that said he's doing "No Getting Over Me" with Kacey Musgraves for it
@@RockN2Country Your fun to watch man & most of your music I can relate to. Plus I still say you're a good guy. If I'm wrong it will make me mad @ myself for liking you. My wife feels the same way.
Another great song is there is a stranger in my house by Ronnie Milsap and if you get the time review it I promise you wont be sorry. That song really hits home with me and a lot of other men out there as well. Thanks again and keep up the awseome work I love your channel. Take care and God bless.
Lost in the 50s tonight.no link,but if you ve never heard it? You really should ck it out!one of his best.one of my favs! Up to you. Great reactions don👍👍🤓🤓 til the next time. Dan from florida.5/04/21
If you liked this song I suggest you listen to Stranger In My House. Also due to being blind Ronnie Milsap's mom put him up for adoption because she thought his blindness was a curse from the devil.
To answer your question about whether he finds her or not, go listen to the updated duet version of this song he and Dolly Parton did on his "Duets" Album.
My absolute favorite Ronnie Milsap song, which with his list if hits is saying something. I love when, during the chorus after he sings the title he hits those low note keys making it sound like a storm. And finally, would it have been odd for her to packed up and went to L.A. looking for him
I was wondering if anyone mentioned that. The version with Dolly has an animated music video, and I was personally moved by the truck driver's sympathetic demeanor while listening to the protagonist's story, and while listening to him play the piano at a truck stop. It feels like people don't really just listen to each other's stories anymore, even the ones supposedly closest to us. I prefer the original song but the animated video was a beautiful interpretation in its own right.
Amazing for a live version! I might even prefer to the studio version, which I always liked. Seems like the string instrumental sound is a little less prominent, letting his amazing vocals stay in the forefront as the central focus.
@Barren Fields I just searched and think you're right, it appears to have disappeared from RUclips. That's weird since so many other performances of Ronnie doing this song are still up.
@@RockN2Country I searched everywhere, YT, FB, Dailymotion, Google and found out that it was deleted on all platforms 😓😓😓. I was wondering if you have the copy of the video?
Hi Don love your channel. Can you react to stranger in my house by Ronnie Milsap. Its a great song and a song that really hits home for me because I lived it as many other men out there have. I believe you will love the song.
If you want some just Good story telling, I saw the video on Marty Robbins-strawberry roan marty is really to me a Balladeer the Story of the American cowboy- "Mr. Shorty- long version if you can find it" "El paso" "ol' Red" the ballade of the Alamo" and songs that were written long before marty " streets of Laredo[music for this one is really OLD]" red river valley , Cool water, another Good balladeer to add to your list is Johnny Horton a lot of his song are based on a real person or event, and some are just based on the Frontier in general - "North to Alaska" Springtime in Alaska" "the Battle of New Orleans" "sink the Bismarck" " Johnny Reb" Whispering Pines" " For the love of a girl" ole slew foot" All Just great story telling in music.
Yeah, that's the thing about country, that there are SO MANY great storytellers. It's a blessing and a challenge, since we want all of it but there's not enough time. I may get to all of those songs you mentioned if I'm around long enough. :-)
Ya gotta do Leather Face ~ "Friends with no Faces" Lol its a parody/comedy song.. Just do it Ya'll laugh but I will say for a comedy song. The vocals are very good!

Oh God. Thàt voice tears out my heart! Beutiful
Ronnie is one of those dudes who could sing the phone book and make it a number one hit
You aren’t wrong! His voice was one in a million!
Ronnie's "It Was Almost Like A Song" is a must. I think it was a Song Of The Year.
Thank You Don he is a super entertainer and one of my mom'ma favorite singers. Try his song There's a Stranger in my House.Ronnie is always a great class act.
Ronnie milsap what a beautiful voice he is one of a kind he is blind but he still plays the paino I remember where I was the very first time I heard this song fall in love with the song and Ronnie milsap
My first concert was Ronnie Millsap. It was an amazing show.
Little rain ran down my own face, listening to this. What a wonderful song; haven’t heard it in years.
I heard this song for the first time on the radio a few weeks ago, its so beautiful and sad.
My teens love this song.
I love Ronnie milsap I was raised on his music so many memories he can sure play a piano.Thanks for that song and reaction
🥰🥰🥰🥰Ronnie
Ronnie Milsap is a legend!
Great classic country song! Ronnie was a fantastic entertainer. Thanks for tossing in classics like this every now and then! Another great classic if you will play it is Barbara Mandrell "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool".
Now you went and did it---I just added another CTC rec to my list. Ha!!
@@RockN2Country , Make sure it is the live version with George Jones. That one is great!
No one could touch ronnie milsap back in the day.....he's still my favorite singer 🎶😎
love this song and also his song " That girl who waits on tables " i believe you will like this song also , Thank You for this wonderful Country music you are playing!!
Ronnie Milsap has had 40 number 1 hits
Went to his concert in 1982 and this guy was awesome and one of the best vocalist I've ever heard to this day!
Ronnie Milsap has always been my constant; I started loving him in the 20/20 Vision days. Other artist/boy bands have come and gone. I will forever love Ronnie Milsap. As far as I am concern; all I want to hear is Ronnie; being a singer myself I hear how great he is.
Nice Don!! Ronnie is awesome! Love his voice, and his piano playing is beautiful. Please do listen to more of his music you will definitely enjoy it. I love his song called , It Was Almost Like A Song. I know you will love it!

Love it!
I live very close to the Smokey Mountains and I use to listen to this song everytime I got in my car.
I'm a little jelly of you living so close to the Smokeys---so darn beautiful!!
Love his voice and the piano music!!!
Ronnie Milsap, another great story teller. He has several truly great songs.
Ronnie was a major talent in his day!
It’s been a few years but I was working at a casino he was playing at...2007, 2008? He still had loads of it. It’s still his day, afaic.
Bring on the Rain 🌧💙
Thanks for your reveiw! As always, it was a great one.
You're welcome, bdd!!
I have always enjoyed his music - this song probably being my all time top favorite of his. As far as I know ; he never made a follow up song.
hTis song brings back a liot of memories for me. Ronnie Milsap did some good music.
Fabulous entertainer! Stranger in my house and It was Almost Like a Song have a little more substance. Thank you for this review. So many of the singers back then have been forgotten!
Just put this on fb.....by the way stranger in my house......bad ass song by ronnie
Jerry Moad J.R. The line in that song “somebody here that I can’t see” always cracks me up
I thought that was released in the 2000s with how it sounded. 😂
Don, bless ya. Unfortunately you are hearing a very subdued version for the fist time. It was a 1980 tv appearance, had to be watered down. This is not the original recording. Find it and listen to it, you will appreciate it so much more.
Thanks, tlb!
My favorite song when I was little,
Still one of my favorites today! Ronnie's vocals are amazing! Beautiful voice!
"There's no gettin over me" is a great song well all his songs are great!
Ronnie played keyboards for Elvis back in the day. That's him on keys on Kentucky Rain
Thank you a million times!
Ronnie Milsap was the piano player for Elvis when Elvis recorded Kentucky Rain.
Funny story about Ronnie. I went see him in concert and the couple next to me asked he had help moving around the stage.
Great song by a legend! Thanks for the reaction
You're welcome, Stanrock22!
This song is the definition of Country Soul
Some country group years ago held a charity baseball game and Ronnie Milsap was the umpire. So folks could truthfully yell, “Ump you’re blind”
Thank you very much for reacting to this. Well said!

Like Ronnie a whole lot. It also reminds me of Elvis Presley's song of a similar vein, "Kentucky Rain".
Milsap may very well be the best technical singer in country music history.
As I got older I came to appreciate Ronnie Milsap's music... When I was younger, I would get frustrated scrolling the dials looking for some Outlaw Country and every other station was playing his songs...

Hi David, I haven't heard about Ronnie's new album, but I'm glad he's still at it and look forward to it.
He has a new album full of duets from what I heard. I just saw a post on Instagram that said he's doing "No Getting Over Me" with Kacey Musgraves for it
He is a brilliant country singer and love most of his songs - our band used to do a few Milsap songs too - liked what you said and just loved it xxx
Your band must have been sooooooo good, C-Mac!
He had lot of good songs stranger in my house and lost in the 50s tonight among them
I seen in Tulsa 1981 great show he did some funny stuff nice guy .
@Joe Skinner That sounds like it was a blast. Good to see you in here from time to time, too. :-)

@@RockN2Country when you get a chance check out Johnny Paychecks song Scars. Even if its just on your own time. I think you'll like it.
He was once asked why don't you play the guitar on stage has reply was he could always find the piano when he stood up
I LOLed when I read that!!! THAT is foo king hilarious!!
Ronnie played piano for Elvis on 'Kentucky Rain,' and the two songs are great, but also very, very similar to one another.
Another great song is there is a stranger in my house by Ronnie Milsap and if you get the time review it I promise you wont be sorry. That song really hits home with me and a lot of other men out there as well. Thanks again and keep up the awseome work I love your channel. Take care and God bless.

Wow! She had that confused since he was a total blessing!
Wow, that is a shock. Seriously, all you can do is shake your head when you hear stuff like that.
You should do Songs About Rain by Gary Allen. This song is mentioned and reminded me of it.
To answer your question about whether he finds her or not, go listen to the updated duet version of this song he and Dolly Parton did on his "Duets" Album.
My absolute favorite Ronnie Milsap song, which with his list if hits is saying something. I love when, during the chorus after he sings the title he hits those low note keys making it sound like a storm. And finally, would it have been odd for her to packed up and went to L.A. looking for him
Don a new version of this song was recently released with Ronnie featuring Dolly Parton. Dolly provides the female response to Ronnie.
I was wondering if anyone mentioned that. The version with Dolly has an animated music video, and I was personally moved by the truck driver's sympathetic demeanor while listening to the protagonist's story, and while listening to him play the piano at a truck stop. It feels like people don't really just listen to each other's stories anymore, even the ones supposedly closest to us. I prefer the original song but the animated video was a beautiful interpretation in its own right.
This classic is also an Official State Song of Tennessee.
Ronnie was encouraged by Ray Charles to follow his dream of becoming a singer
If you haven't heard the remake he did with Dolly Parton, listen to it. It's just gorgeous.
Amazing for a live version! I might even prefer to the studio version, which I always liked. Seems like the string instrumental sound is a little less prominent, letting his amazing vocals stay in the forefront as the central focus.
I wouldn't quite call it a tear-jerker, but it certainly is sad!
Hey guys, do you have a copy of this exact performance by Ronnie? It seems to have been deleted...

another really good song is some people change by Montgomery gentry it is very powerful gets me every time.
Jamey Johnson - Back to Caroline. Trucker/hitchhiker type song you may like.
Love the reaction- please react to George Strait Run
hypeman here what happened 2 stranger in my house
Gotta be somewhere on the list, but I have so much catching up to do!
The grascals are bluegrass band one of the songs I like from them is I am strong with Dolly Parton
Ronnie did a duet album Dolly Parton sang this him
If you want some just Good story telling, I saw the video on Marty Robbins-strawberry roan marty is really to me a Balladeer the Story of the American cowboy- "Mr. Shorty- long version if you can find it" "El paso" "ol' Red" the ballade of the Alamo" and songs that were written long before marty " streets of Laredo[music for this one is really OLD]" red river valley , Cool water, another Good balladeer to add to your list is Johnny Horton a lot of his song are based on a real person or event, and some are just based on the Frontier in general - "North to Alaska" Springtime in Alaska" "the Battle of New Orleans" "sink the Bismarck" " Johnny Reb" Whispering Pines" " For the love of a girl" ole slew foot" All Just great story telling in music.
Also Grand Pa Jones doing Mountain Dew gotta watch the video on that one.
Yeah, that's the thing about country, that there are SO MANY great storytellers. It's a blessing and a challenge, since we want all of it but there's not enough time. I may get to all of those songs you mentioned if I'm around long enough. :-)
Of course there always is the Storyteller himself mr. Tom T Hall
Elvis Presley "Kentucky Rain"
Yes, Ronnie Millsap is blind and always has been, I believe.
Try the Statler brothers bed of roses
Please do There's No Getting Over Me
It's similar to Elvis Kentucky Rain.
That's because Ronnie was the key player for Elvis on Kentucky Rain
Ya gotta do Leather Face ~ "Friends with no Faces" Lol its a parody/comedy song.. Just do it Ya'll laugh but I will say for a comedy song. The vocals are very good!
Look into Dan Seals and Ricky Skaggs and Ricky Van Shelton'
