no matter how many times I watch this, it still melts my heart and brings tears to my eyes. I know we will all think of James Drury as the top cowboy
1975
It's so sad 😢❤❤....
'The Virginian' ride in at the start of every show was memorable. The role was made for James Drury. RIP, James.
I was blessed to have grown up during the Golden Age of Cowboys on the tv & movie screens. I was also blessed to have grown up in Texas and knew real working cowboys. Life-long cowboys from generations of cowboys. They loved James Drury & The Virginian. He was worth watching 100% of the time.
I'm nearly 70. In my child hood there alot of westerns & man-o-man how we enjoyed watching each & every one!! Our American icon heroes are leaving us. How I miss them as I shed a tear. It's so sad this new generation will never experience what being a true heroe is. God bless our heroes!!
Karen Murphy so true, I guess the new generation will look at us as too sentimental when it comes to our Hero’s, but we know better and have the memories of living trueing a great era in television .
@@welles2002 I'm enjoying watching a marathon this weekend watching John Wayne movies!! I'm retired & this is FANTASTIC!!
I'm 51 and I watch The Virginian with my kids and grandkids. I grew up watching westerns with my mom so that was pretty cool! The series is shown on INSP and GRIT right now. Great actor and great man.
I would like to think Doug McClure was already waiting for James Drury when he got to the big Ranch in the sky. Awesome thought.
Me too ❤️❤️
Annie Maull Me too! They were the best!
Yes trampas judge Garth and all three graingers were waiting in heavenly shiloh
Annie I am sure trampas was the first one to greet him after he found joked at rainbow bridge and they went home to shiloh the grangers were there too in sure
the cringe is high here
All the good guys are gone. That was a generation that wasn't gender confused, knew the value of hard work, lived simply, and were God fearing, bible carrying, gun clinging good people.
Remember James and the others, as long as we live.
Very well said!
Not sure who you are Emily, but if this is your lifes passion, if this tribute is an example of your work, you have reached an apex. Please continue. I look forward to more of your work .
Jeffrey Coulter not all gone, Gary Clarke is still with us. I still call him Steve, he is a great Actor. Sheriff Ryker is also still alive.He is great.
Amen...those were the days never to be had again
That is why I watch GRIT. It is all the old westerns! ROY Roger's was my hero as a kid and a lifelong cowgirl!
My tears fall to hear this wonderful song for James Drury to say farewell friends for ever.
What a fitting tribute. I grew up watching the Virginian and to my young mind- he was the kind of Man a Woman would go to Hell and back for.
I cried when I found out that James Drury had past away, I never got to meet him but I know one day I will. RIP Mr. Drury aka the Virginian.
I know what you mean! My heart stopped when I read the post 😢😢
I will miss James,he was definitely a good person, I enjoy watching his movies and still is.May he R.I.P.
I know. Just started watching the Virginian. I saw they had a panel and wanted to go see them sometime. So sad I won't be able to 😢
Lydia McGuire, I feel the same way
My childhood hero
“When all the cowboys are gone
Whose gonna tip their hats
And show respect for the ladies
And do all the good things like that.”
-Ivan Denton, Arkansas author…and cowboy.
Funny you should say that. I was told by my female boss the other day that we shouldn't be calling them ladies, because we don't know what pronoun they are relating to. What a drastic change in the world in just my lifetime.
@@stevec2665 pronoun??? Does the pronoun "ladies " engender any other alternatives than female? I think your boss is drunk on her assumed power and status
@@jeffreycoulter4095 Brotherrrr, I agree with you. I prefer simple. Not complicated confusion.
@@stevec2665 !!!!!!!!!
Love him in this show so much...was very sad to hear of his passing away...RIP....VIRGINIAN....YOU WERE MY HERO!!!
What a fitting video and song for a great man. I love the ending with James and Doug riding together.
Thank you!
Great song and video
Among the very last of the TV cowboys. RIP...GREAT COWBOY.
Três sargentos
My husband and I watch the Virginian all the time. Such a beautiful tribute for a genuine gentlemen and cowboy. He’ll always be the Virginian. A heart of gold. 💛💛 Seeing him and Trampas riding on together 😭💙 Thank you for sharing. 😥😥💜💫🙏🏼
Thank you! Yes he will! You’re welcome 😊
James Drury was wonderful and beautiful man all way around. He portrayed strong men with a backbone and defender of life, people and the American Cowboy way. I loved watching him growing up on The Virginian. I still watch them o’l shoes. He never disappoints. Never got to meet him but just in his eyes alone you could see his soul and love for life. We miss you James D. and you will never be forgotten! Yippee-Ki-Yay!
Cowboys have always been hero’s. My husband always know when I’m not feeling good, because I go and watch cowboy reruns all day. Now that I’m retired it’s my go to for relaxation after working in my garden. RIP James Drury, you are missed.
I used to watch the Virginian on TV in the evenings when I was just a kid back in the early 60's and again on GRIT TV reruns several every day. It takes you back to better times when the world was a nicer place to live in. I sure do feel sad that we have lost so many of our great stars that brought so many hours of the best entertainment to so many for so long. They all are missed.
Lord I loved this beautiful man,, so handsome on his gorgeous white horse . Rest in peace my friend
Trampas and The Virginian, RIP Cowboys😔
I stopped watching it before because I was so sad. It's sad and cute how him and Trampas said see you around. The Virginian replies " why don't we travel together being we are going in the same direction"😢It touched my heart because him and Doug were best friends in real life . Watching more of season one again. Best show ever.
Great tribute. Thank you. You know I've been wondering lately if kids even have heroes anymore. Certainly not in the same sense that we did I think.
I feel the same way. The Virginian, Ryker, Trampus have been my hero's since childhood. Totally heartbroken over his last wave goodbye. So grateful to STARZ Western channel for running his segments all day today. So many memories. Sure going to miss him and forever in our hearts. As the cowboy rides away, farewell our best friend.
Truly the Best
Watch the Virginian every day. Love the whole cast James Drury was andv always will be The Virginian.
Clu Gulard is still alive and retired he is going to be 92 in NOVEMBER
Thank goodness! Way to go Clu. We still love you, will always love you and hope they re-run all The Virginian episodes again! Best wishes
Damn, that was sad. I was born in 1964, and when I was about four or five years old, my mother would put me to bed at about 7:00pm, and I remember I could hear "The Virginian" theme song coming from the living room, as well as other shows like "Mission Impossible" and "Ironside" when my parents were watching TV. I would always wonder, what my parents were watching on TV. One time I got to stay up later for some reason, and I saw the opening credits for "The Virginian", and I never forgot that image of "The Virginian" riding his white horse to that theme song when seeing it for the first time. Powerful imagery for a young boy. Mr. Drury became an instant hero. I feel a little sad as of this writing, because both my parents are gone now as well as a hero. I wish sometimes I could go back to that time. That time of feeling secure and loved as a child, and watching my hero "The Virginian" riding his horse for the first time. RIP Mr. Drury. You will be missed immensly and thanks for the memories.
I think we all feel as you did. Not only was it the golden age of television, but the last opportunity to teach the viewer about being a decent human being. Later shows depicted dysfunctional families and anger. James Drury embodied what it was like to have in each of us. Those lessons now can only live on in reruns.
As kids we can never imagine our parents not being here, but it does happen and all we have are the memories. Westerns were a fixture in our home.
My mom's is 98 -1/2 and greatly enjoys watching her TV westerns every afternoon. Good companions to spend the day with.
I was so sad to hear that James Drury had passed away. I would have loved to meet him.He was so handsome and such a good guy with standards and morals. He will be missed. I still watch the Virginian every chance I get.
Good things don't last forever... All you've got are memories, nothing else... ==(gilberto lehrer from brazil)
I watch The Virginian every single day absolutely enjoy that show James and Doug rest in peace you have my heart
James Drury you are missed beyond words. I watch the Virginian over and over. Just can't believe you are gone.
Still heartbroken over his passing 😭 Cowboys have always been among my greatest heroes and James Drury was one of the best! He will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to the Virginian and the incredible man who played him ❤

Very awesome!!! I watch the reruns to this very day. Just like I did whenever I was a kid. Avery fine tribute to both of them.
Thanks for this beautiful tribute to James 'The Virginian' Drury. I've been a fan since the beginning in 1962. I feel so very sad; can hardly believe he's gone.
You’re welcome! Yeah 😢😢❤️

Wonderful and memorable tribute to an accomplished actor and personality. Farewell to James Drury.
Thank you!
I thought you would do a tribute Emily, and this is a great one. I specially loved the moments with Doug. He is such a loss. Thanks so much for doing this
Thank you! Yes he was ❤️ you’re welcome
What a beautiful tribute to such a sweet man. I sure enjoyed all his appearances on the Virginian. He played them to the tops of performances. I hope our younger generation gets to watch him and can look up to him as my children did. Forever in our hearts. Please keep showing his series. 💐🕊🥀🙏🎚💐🕊🥀🙏🎚💐🕊🥀🙏🎚
Thank you!
This is such a beautiful tribute to James Drury. I had the opportunity and pleasure to be able to meet him in 2016 and was hoping to be able to see him again. I will meet him again some day.
Thank you! That’s great for you ❤️
My dad didnt watch much tv, except for 60 minutes, the news and Lawrence Welk (😂) but he loved The Virginian! I remember watching with him as a child. I sure had a crush on you then, and I still do now (☺️) I watch you everyday. It reminds me of a time when my dad was alive and i felt safe. And things were good at home. RIP Mr Drury. Say hi to my daddy for me! ❤

Omg the ending him and Trampus why dont we ride together since were going in the same direction? 😥😥😥😥😥😥❤🤠🐎
That really hit me as well. I was glad Doug was on Buck and Jim was on Joe D.
Yeah. That was the episode called holocaust. When the Shiloh house burnt down and Trampas and Virginian went out to find the men who did it.
Doug and James are back together at the ranch in heaven. I bet Doug was waiting for him at the ranch so they could go riding again on their horses.
Hit me too, just a crying! We watch the Virginia every day!
Cheyenne Montuori with that cute be smile!
Excellently done. The clips from the various episodes were very well chosen and touched my heart. We just lost our great hero James Drury a few months ago. May he Rest In Peace.
Thank you!
Fantastic Video and great Song!Love the Virginian-James Drury,Trampas,Matt Dillion,Chester,Festus,The Duke,Gabby Hayes and all the other Great Ones I left out that take me back in time!Grew up as a Kid watching them and always will.Cowboy at Heart For Ever!!Thanks for the Video and Great Song!!
Thank you! You’re welcome!
I’ve been watching the The Virginian last couple of months. I was only 3 years old when show came on TV. I fell in love with the show. I love Trampas, The Virginian, the show. He passed the day after my birthday. Wow I didn’t know till I saw this video. Great job on the video. I’ve watched some of your other ones as well. Thank you, James and Doug are having a drink right now at Heavens bar. God bless.❤️🙏. Joyce from Connecticut, U.S.A.🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱
I’ve only watched them for a year or two.. oh yes I love Trampas as well! And everyone! Thank you! Im glad you like it! I hope you like the other ones! ❤️❤️
definitely a class act RIP james 😞
I’m still crying too! James Drury was my first celebrity crush! I first saw him in Toby Tyler, then, on my first time at a drive in movie with my brother & his girlfriend! I saw Ride the High Country! I was so shocked to hear of his passing! He just always seemed so full of life! Well! At least we now know the name of the “Virginian” now! It’s James Drury!
Such an awesome tribute to one of my heroes. 😞😞😞😢
Thank you!
One of the best western on Tv. Rest in Heaven peacefully James Drury.
You know that made me cry, especially at the end with him and Trampas, riding off together!
Once again, you did a wonderful job. Can't stop crying
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I've been blessed to know Mr. Drury in his older years. He was a man of great character. I enjoyed the stories of his life. He loved his wife with everything he had in him as he did when acting. Love and miss you Mr. Drury. RIP.
I just started watching this show on an old Western channel. So sad 😢 to hear about his passing 😞
This video just came up on my RUclips feed. I was so sad the day he passed since I just found this program 2 years ago by mistake while browsing the channels.
I watch The Virginian every day. I watched the western channel all day when they aired a tribute to him.
Growing up in the 50's and 60's in San Francisco (as a woman of color) I never saw this show....only Gunsmoke (after my great grandmother and grandmother finished watching wrestling. I was not so fond of westerns. But now approaching 70 I have fallen in love with them.
I have seen all the episodes of The Virginian. I researched all the cast members. Love the show.
As others have said it takes you to a kinder and gentler time.
Great actor..... R. I. P.... James Drury... Greetings from Berlin /Germany 👍
What a beautiful tribute! I watched him as a teenage girl every week and now I watch him every night on reruns. As a teenage girl when they had an episode about him being interested in a woman, I would hate that episode. I would be so jealous. LOL
Wonderful tribute,thank you for making this Emily Sullivan and thanks to James Drury for the memories
Thank you! You’re welcome!
A beautiful tribute to my friend Jim reunited now with his sidekick Doug.
That smile. Priceless.
I cried too when I heard the Virginian died . Was busy raising kids when I was first on in the 60s. So gladtame back
I still watch James & Doug every day👏❤️
It was a very clean program. James Drury was a true American. ♥
James was the celebrity at a Spokane county fair in 1973. I walked by with my three year old son. James stopped me and sat me on his lap. and my son started to cry. James was very handsome!
Handsome cowboy. ♥️ I still watch the Virginian.
I’m going to cry again!
I was not into cowboy shows growing up. My mama was she loved Bonanza, Rifleman, Laramie, and many others I got hooked we used to watch together and she passed away so now it gives me a sense of Calm in my life watching them . I just stated watching the Virginian and I couldn't stop bc of good storyline but I couldn't get pass the 2 hour time slot.. I thought it was took long but they have had GOOD storyline that kept me glued until the end .. (2 hours now for a weekly tv show)...westerns are Unlike tv shows today...I LOVE my westerns💓💓💓R.I.P "THE Virginian" James Drury🙏🙏🙏🙏2020
Emily you have made me cry again. May he RIP.
I’m sorry ❤️❤️ I hope you’re better now
I miss you and watch every episode of THE VIRGINIAN , RIP
Awww...this was beautifully done! Loved the ending where he & his best friend, Doug McClure, riding to the great beyond together! Loved them both! Great actors & Real gentleman. 💕🌹🌿
Thank you. ❤️
Wonderful tribute! Mr. Drury's last years were very sad and not what people thought they were which made me even more sad. They have never released the reason for his death except to say he died with his loved ones around him at home. No one, absolutely NO one could have ever been The Virginian but him.
Wow! James Drury as The Virginian was one of my heroes growing up as small boy. I loved the show and cast. My James Drury rest in peace!
The BEST cowboy ever!!!
"ride the high country" one of the best movies every made.
Ride off into the great sunset Rest in Peace
Great man I had great pleasure in meeting jim and his wife Carl ann when they to Ireland for a vacation in 2008 I was getting ready for two hours to get to meet my cowboy friend and shake his hand and thanked him more than once for all the entertainment he gave us when we were growing up that last to this day and beyond R I P my friend amen
Can still see the western on GRIT.They run two episodes weekly around 9 and 10 am. Didn't realize ,that TRAMPAS was a fast gun - until I saw in duel gunfight .Funny and FAST ! DRURY played a lot of bad guys on westerns before he hit pay dirt on THE VIRGINIAN for 9 seasons. Earned his keep. R.I.P.

I love westerns when I was eight I read Mr drury was coming to Louisville my to state fair my school class I was walking around and spotted Mr drury in full Virginian dress looking around I said wow just as I started to go to him a hand touched my shoulder it was one of the teachers that came with us he said let's go just then Mr drury moved on I always wished we had met I got to get more Virginian DVDs
Bet they are riding together now. RIP Virginian
I’m gonna miss this awesome actor. He was a true cowboy of the Wild West!!❣️😪

So long time...and still remember the show...feel sad....
I still watch him this man shows. He is one of my best loved western actors along with Doug McClure too! I will continue to to watch them as along as I can! Hope your having fun on y’all’s big ranch together in Heaven!
Perfect song to honor a terrific actor and character. I had such a crush on James Drury back in the day.
This video brought on the tears. I really love The Virginian...I have been watching it on StarzEncore for the past couple of months. James Drury was the best! I'm up to season 7, but I skipped ahead to season 9, just to see how Stewart Granger was going to fit in. He was terrible! I understand he was responsible for the change of the show's title, the opening music and the opening credits...just awful. But James Drury gave his usual wonderful performances. Thanks for this video.
He was an anchor of my childhood. R.I.P.
Stunning. Thank you so much.
Thank you! You’re welcome ❤️
I loved the Virginian James Duty & Doug Mclure made that show . Would not miss a show.
Thank you for posting, RIP James and Doug. I grew up watching the Virginian and never left my heart
