You are not alone, I always said my son was an old soul. He has always loved old thing and old music. My cousin’s kids love good old country music too. Old and rusty is a good thing.
People sometimes forget he had #1 hits in 1970 and 1972 long before the albums 'Family Tradition' and 'Whisky Bent and Hell Bound,' made him a massive star. They came out in '79, but really formed the basis for his immense 80's popularity.
for real. I see people calling him the "inventor of bro country" this is nowhere near luke bryan people have to understand hank is a true classic country singer
@@chickengenius4202 I'm sorry I didn't see this till now, I don't get my notifications regularly for some reason, but I thought this was a really beautiful bittersweet comment. I'm sorry it didn't work out and my mom always wanted to change my middle name to rae as spelled as such and it made my day to read your comment 💞 I'm sure she misses you all the time too
My husband and I have been married 41 years. He calls me his sunshine. He showed me this video and everytime I watch it will bring a tear to my eyes. Such a beautiful song. Thanks love for sharing this with me.
I love the live recording of this song so much I chose it for my Daughter's Father/Daughter wedding dance. The amount of tragedies he will face in the years after this performance is incredible. My hats off to Hank. Proud to share a state with you Hank.
Wow ! Never seen this footage before but can he sing and play that guitar. Perfect rhythm. Man , the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Beautiful lyrics sung with such feeling. A country treasure. I can't stop listening to it. Living proof is another gem of his. He makes the new country sound thin and hollow. Thank you Hank. Your dad and you and Johnny Horton, Don Gibson and George Jones and Jim Reeves , Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings and Johhny Cash and Patsy Cline and Kitty Wells are the heart and soul of country music. I know I have missed some but you all tug at our heartstrings like few ever have. God bless you all.
I agree with everything you said, but you did forget Mickey Gilly , Loretta Lynn, Tommy Hall, all the country stars that every were on hee Haw let’s just say!!!’😂
I agree, but when I listen to his music today, i actually think that his voice is better in a lot of ways post-fall..from about 77-88 there wasn’t a better voice in country imo
I was just in a restaurant in India and they were playing the instrumental to this song I couldn’t think of the name and came and found in RUclips!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
“I started turning up loud looking at the crowd, bending them guitar strings, Knew all the while though it was my style could they ever forget my name” (Feelin better) - HWJ
even though it did not fit the 1940s time of the Clint Eastwood movie kellys Heroes I still loved it when Odd Ball was playing this song over the pa system of His shermin tank
in the history of music....there has never been a single instance where the son or the daughter of a Great! singer has ever been a better singer.... many have made a career out of their name...but never...their talent
My all time favorite Hank Jr. song. I loved his other hits such as Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound (pardon the language) and his version of Kawliga, but this one is on an entirely different level.
@@planejet42 Hank Sr. died in the early '50s and Jr. had to be born by then, this was recorded, I believe in '79? So, could he possibly be 21 ? Where's the math . . . just wondering.
@@dougjohnson9796 79?? This song was written before he fell off the mountain, he fell off the mountain in 75. So how is that even possible at all. He was for sure 21
I’m 25... all my older coworkers call me a rusty soul, my younger co workers call me old. I simply say I love good music.. this is good music
You are not alone, I always said my son was an old soul. He has always loved old thing and old music. My cousin’s kids love good old country music too. Old and rusty is a good thing.
Amen. 🎵😊🎶
That´s right boy..!
Same here man!! 25 years old and loves good music as well!!
This was Hank Williams Jr best ever country hit song!!
R. I. P. SOPHIA M. SEEFELDT/MONTOYA...MY FRIEND..MY WIFE.. MY Bonnie.. MY COMPANION... MY SOUL MATE!!!
GOD BLESS YOU MY ANGEL !!
The songs this man wrote. Wow.

It’s crazy hearing the difference in his writing style
Excellent performance. You forget sometimes that Bocephus runs deeper than "All my Rowdy Friends".
It's like Hank Jr. was two different people and both versions were the absolute best there ever was. Post and pre-accident.
Well said.
So true.
@@bs3856 Yes never captured this sound after that terrible accident.
Right on that’s the pre mountain fall hank. But a true fan or friend knows all about him. I went to school with hank and he had a red Cadillac.
Another awesome example why Hank Williams Jr is an ICON! People don't realize when he started out how good he really was and still is today!
for real. I see people calling him the "inventor of bro country" this is nowhere near luke bryan people have to understand hank is a true classic country singer
I am 63. This song made Kelly's Heroes a classic.
Damn this is probably his best song. Wow !
He's 74 today-i play this every year on his BD.
@@tippimail1 Happy Birthday Mr. Williams
Hank Williams, Jr., I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife. My condolences. 🙏
My name is Sunshine and this song makes me so happy when I hear, I've just fallen in love with it!!! 🌞🌞🌞
Love ya Hank! 💛
The one that got away, her name was Sunni Rae. I called her sunshine. Miss her to this day

#1 song for Hank Jr. from the film "Kelly's Heroes." One of the last times you'd see his eyes other than behind sunglasses.
That's how I remember him, with his eyes behind the sunglasses! 😎
Yeah, 'Kelly's Heroes' when the Sherman is blowing the crap out of the railroad station...classic.
He didn't start wearing shades and a beard until 5 years later. Mt. Ajax caused all that in 1975.
This song helped to keep me focused on why I enlisted. USAF 1968-1972.
Acts 16:31
“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house
this is my all time favorite song of Hank Jr .
I love the live recording of this song so much I chose it for my Daughter's Father/Daughter wedding dance. The amount of tragedies he will face in the years after this performance is incredible. My hats off to Hank. Proud to share a state with you Hank.
I’ve been calling my daughter Sunshine since the first time I heard this
Dont get no better than this ❤
My very favorite Hank Williams JR Song of all!
Excellent song and quality sideburns
Hank jr.I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife..🙏🙏🙏🙏I remember when I first heard this song in 1970…..beautiful words!!!
Wow !
Never seen this footage before but can he sing and play that guitar.
Perfect rhythm.
Man , the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Beautiful lyrics sung with such feeling.
A country treasure.
I can't stop listening to it.
Living proof is another gem of his.
He makes the new country sound thin and hollow.
Thank you Hank.
Your dad and you and Johnny Horton, Don Gibson and George Jones and Jim Reeves , Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings and Johhny Cash and Patsy Cline and Kitty Wells are the heart and soul of country music.

When George said it best when he sang " WHO'S GOING TO FILL THEIR SHOES" so far just a couple came close but no cigar as of yet
Che bella canzone! La voce di Hank e cosi bella! 😊🤗😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘❤️💋💯🌅
So handsome and beautiful voice❤
Fuckin Country Gold, doesn’t get any better than that
Impressive guitar skills. Fine voice. Nice sideburns. 🙂
I love this song of hank William Jr he's a great singer
This is prior to his accident. Unfortunately, his face and voice were never the same. Make no mistake, I enjoy all of his music.
Yes sir a tragedy. A hell of a comeback to survive that 500 foot fall.
I agree, but when I listen to his music today, i actually think that his voice is better in a lot of ways post-fall..from about 77-88 there wasn’t a better voice in country imo
@@davidsolomon5852I agree. I think his voice was stronger post fall and he sang with more conviction.
Voice didn’t change, just matured as he got older
True I hunted his place in Alabama a few times and met him once and it’s sad that how much distress this great singer has encountered
Beautifully sung!!❤️❤️
Exceptional.
I really like this song. So sweet
Great song Hank did a good job singing
Best tune you ever performed!!!
I didn't know what he looked like without his sunglasses! 😎 Thank you for sharing! 💖
This was before his mountain fall.
@@marlene9682 I vaguely remember that. Didn't that happen when he was on a hunting trip? Maybe I have him confused with someone else.
This was beautiful; I loved it! From the "Salute to Wounded GIs" episode, recorded at the Walter Reed Army Hospital.
I was wondering where this was filmed. I love it. Can’t stop listening to it.
Thanks! How do you know where it was filmed? I'm not doubting you, but I am curious.
@@tonyharden7159 There is a great episode guide at CTVA online with information on the episodes.
He sure commands attention. He never forgot who put him here.
I was just in a restaurant in India and they were playing the instrumental to this song I couldn’t think of the name and came and found in RUclips!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Stunning song. Great voice and depth.
Till this day when I am on a hard task or got something serious , I just start singing "All For the Love of sunshine!!!"
Legend!
Swing it around hard! Fire!
♫ I've been working on the Railroad... ;)
Beatiful Song
Old Hank songs always make me feel down.
Same here buddy, this worlds a cruel place.
That was another great Hank Jr. song.
Wow!
RIP Donald Sutherland

His Daddy was great..but he has a really good voice
good ole Hank Jr.
I enjoy all of his music this is good music
The master at his craft
Esta trilha esta no filme Guerreiros pilantras da decada de 70,🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
He has a little of that Conway Twitty twang in there. Great song.
even though it did not fit the 1940s time of the Clint Eastwood movie kellys Heroes I still loved it when Odd Ball was playing this song over the pa system of His shermin tank
That movie loved the anachronistic songs. And they were great!
Bring 'em around hard!
Wicked custom Martin - D45.....
Boy, you got that right, wow...what a incredible acoustic. Give my left one for that...
in the history of music....there has never been a single instance where the son or the daughter of a Great! singer has ever been a better singer....
many have made a career out of their name...but never...their talent
Happened twice with this family
Maybe so, but Hank Jr comes Pretty close..
I totally disagree, he is as talented as his father
WOW THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
Such a fucking legendary song
You know I hate country with a passion, but I came across this song on Facebook and damn it called to my ears
My all time favorite Hank Jr. song. I loved his other hits such as Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound (pardon the language) and his version of Kawliga, but this one is on an entirely different level.
U should hear this in the car incredible
Nobody:
Me: Grab the tank, we're heading to the bank.
I mean like so many positive waves maybe we can't lose. You're on!
This is before Hank started playing his own music. He just did what his mother told him to do back then
I've never seen him without his beard
My daddy thought of this with my daughter
Even a bad singer can get a top hit and this is a top hit
Red Cadillac Days.Singing sweet and raising.....um yea.Bocephus....
Damn, ol' Bo was just a baby!!! Borrowed those sideburns from Elvis!!!! Lol!!! Love your music hoss, for many years!!!
Before he sold his soul and was still making good music.
I never would have recognized him.....haha.
This one song of his I like very much, but not all of his songs are as good, at least he tries.😊
Who else is here after seeing "Kelly's Heroes"?
Always laugh when Oddball is blasting this in Kelly's Heroes that was set in WWII and Hank recorded it in the early 70's.
Hank Jr was only 21 here but he looks 41
Geez. That’s hard to believe
@@planejet42 Hank Sr. died in the early '50s and Jr. had to be born by then, this was recorded, I believe in '79? So, could he possibly be 21 ? Where's the math . . . just wondering.

@@dougjohnson9796 it was released in 1970 bud
@@clintonholifield8759 Hey, my mistake. The video shows recorded in 1970, if I'm not mistaken, and I could be, lol, sorry. forgiven ?
I see no difference in his looks except getting older that's with all of us 😂😉😉
Where was this filmed at?
Walter Reed Hospital, Nov 8, 1970.
He has a Conway Twitty sound here.
WOOF! WOOF!
So thats what he looks like....
This was before he fell off a cliff.
His son Sam Williams looks just like him right here. Hank son Sam just released new album called glasshouse children. It's pretty good album.
A beautiful song from someone who can't sing
Mate, you mean another Bob Dylan!!!
BS!
Those Elvis sidechops highlight that balding head to the point of needing a hat at any cost for this performance.
He never looked like dad I don't see it
and you don't look like yours either, Son
sounds a little like conway here
