Jerry Clower was my boys Sunday School teacher when i was growing up in Yazoo City, Miss back in the 60's before he became a famous comedian. What a great example of a truly good man. We were 8 to 14 year old boys and he had such a loud voice we were kinda afraid of him because he was so big and powerful. Big personality. Big man too. He had us boys sit by him in church after sunday school in the second pew right in front of the pastor, Brother Yates. And he would scare us when he would yell out an Amen! at the best parts of the sermon. Good childhood memories for me. What a blessing and a great example he was for us. I've never forgotten it. I count myself lucky that i was there. God Bless you Mister Clower! I'll never forget you. Thank you so much! Rest in peace sir.
That's amazing, Ross. Thanks for sharing it.
Jerry Clower was the funniest stand-up comedian that ever lived and has YET to say a single cuss-word !!! He was very eloquent, but he could talk just as Mississippi Country as you could get. He is one to pattern your career by. Never a fowl word, like most of the comedians do now a days. It just proves, you DON'T have to CUSS to be funny !!!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING
I absolutely love Jerry clower. My grandpa had a bunch of old Jerry clower cassettes and I would listen to them whenever I could, and they were hilarious but this one is probably the best I've heard of his. Rest in peace Jerry.
I remember too that you never sat at the table till all the grown folks sat down & if you were sitting in an the adults chair you got up & let them have it & Sunday dinners were the best dinners of the week & some Sundays churches would have all day singing & dinner on the ground the church ladies would bring their best bed sheets & the men would bring saw horses & plywood to make up tables & you'd go make you a plate after & only after all the grown folks got a plate & you'd eat on the ground on a quilt your mama brought or in the back of the truck on the tailgate of course you better bow your head & pray with everyone else before you ate that was manners or raisin' if you're country Southern Jerry Clower classics remind me of them days
Gosh, I got hungry just envisioning that last piece of chicken! Nothin' like good ol' fashion Southern fried chicken!
Three will never be another like Jerry Clower. The fact he was absolutely hilarious and never once had to use profanity to make people laugh. I can sit here today and listen to Jerry and my kids will bust out laughing at his funny stories. He left a legacy that no one can ever match in my opinion.
i grew up listening to this man . he still make me laugh after more than 40 yrs of my life .
Reminds me of my uncle talking about being the youngest of five children. Dad took the plate first and then passed it to Mom and then it went to the kids. As the youngest he always got the plate last so he always got the smallest piece of chicken. He didn't dream of growing up and having a career or a family - his dream was simply to be grown up so he could have the big piece of chicken!
I am almost 50 years old and I remember hearing this as a kid and is laughing just as hard as I did then. So glad I was able to find it.
hey, I have met this man years ago at the Expo in Georgia and I know someone that grew up in his hme town, everything that I have ever heard tells me that this was a great storyteller and comedian. God speed Mr. Clower, I hope one day to meet you in the sweet by and by.
The way he told a story, you could close your eyes and see it unfolding in your mind. Like you were actually there!
Everybody give me a AAAWWWW! Rest in peace Jerry, there will never be another like you.
I love listening to him. My father is a great storyteller just 3 years younger and grew up in Kentucky farming. I've heard Daddy tell a few of the same jokes. My boys are 19 & 14 they love listening to him as well. Jokes they can repeat at school or church.
Used to long haul. Listened to him on the "Road Gang" show late nights out of New Orleans
Don Simms I miss the Road Gang.
Ken Perk Amen Brother, can't beat clean comedy and Southern cookin'
I hear you,I started listening to Jerry when I was about 7or8 years old on the old LP records and I still laugh at all his stuff !!! It`s timeless !!! May YOU BE Blessed !!!
Good ole southern comfort comedy
😆👍
How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
One, if not the greatest comedian ever.
lorrrrrrrrrrd have mercy...that is toooo tooo funny..i remember listening to this man on our front porch while swingin with momma in the swing..ohhhhhhhhh how i miss those simple days
My step dad was a Country DJ back in the 50's and he introduced me to Jerry Clowers type of comedy. i still love it
Awesome classics!!! May his stories live on for enternity.
I haven't heard these in many years, grew up listening to him.
Ohhohohooo for the love of god if this ain't true the sky ain't blue!!!
GERRY CLOWER,ALL I
CAN SAY IS HE WAS A VERY FUNNY MAN,
MAY U REST IN PEACE
MY FRIEND.
best story teller i ever heard
My mom used to have several of his albums. Funny stuff. Funny stuff.
Southern born and southern bred here. Old South that is. Don't much like what's happening with the new south. 55 now and I still won't take the last piece of whatever from the dish. I also stand and wait till everyone else is seated and do not serve myself before anyone else. That, however, could be a throwback to my days as an infantry squad leader when my first responsibility was to insure my men were taken care of first.
+The Self Sufficient Life Most Southern people of my generation recall how men went to the table first and were fed. Then the women and children ate. Sometimes, if there was a lot of company, (usually Sunday dinner) the women ate and THEN the children. I remember standing in the doorway between the kitchen and dining room and watching the fried chicken pieces disappear. There were times when no chicken was left by the time "us youngens" sat down and it was then we all swore that when we grew up and had kids EVERYONE would eat at the same time! And we kept our promises.
+KyHollowMama I never knew anyone that would do that. Though there may have been a
separate table for the children if there were too many people everyone
sat down at the same time and God help us if we didn't come when called
and Granddaddy got a hold to us. No, he didn't whip us but the look he
gave was worse than a whipping sometimes. Yes, we knew that some people
did what you experienced. You don't want to know what my grandparents
called the people that would do that to their children.
It seems that people don't teach their kids respect, manners, things that were expected when I was growing up. Example, If I hear my daughter address an adult without a, "Ma'am" or "Sir" - there's an issue.
The Self Sufficient Life ; I can relate as much too, having been a squad leader also. Each of my 5 guys always had first pick; take care of your own & they'll take care of you , its just the right way of doing things
Thank u for ur service. May God bless you !!
I LOVE this one! It's been my favorite. No one else besides Jerry Clower can deliver so well; no, better take that back. Andy Griffith could do pretty good on them too.
rest in peace jerry clower
My Dad was born in Kentucky, and we listened to Jerry Clower often. Funny, clean comedy. Still love it.
he was probably one of the greatest
Great routine. Great delivery.
I just stopped by to say my dad was a huge fan of Clower. My dad admittedly was raised in a wild family with a lot of loud people, brothers and sisters and his mom (my grandma) was loud. My dad never said it but clearly an unsophisticated family and I’m sure when he listened to Clower talk about the “Ledbetter family” he felt like the stories were similar to his family. The more outrageous the people were in the story the more my dad laughed.
That's because funny is funny no matter how old you are! :-)
Always funny!
Hard to tell where the real story ends and the jokin begins. My favorite is Ol Slant Head. I laughed so hard I had to pull over. I need to listen to more of his stuff. Lord what has happened to us. Seems as thought we are losing folks like this daily. Soon it’ll be just us left and the food will be on the losing end of things. But I bet God is rolling off his throne with these stories. And he’s heard them before.
Jerry Clower is and was and will be the Funniest man ever, next to Jerry Lewis, and Cousin Minnie Pearl, they won't be no-one as good as these was.
My favorite is apple pie and coffee
Poor ole feller
he was a good and clean comedian not like alot today who think nothings funny unless it is vulger
One of our greatest generation a real God fearing man
IM 12 BUT STILL MAKES ME LAUGH
Hi Cory! You are 21 now! God Bless you!✝️🇺🇲🙏💯
RIP brother
@jamesjoye We used to sit and listen to him also. Good times.
Sounds like Real country! Who has shoes on? Lol
Loved his humourous tales
Yowza!
6 people reached for the last piece of chicken. Uncle Versi with his hand, and everyone else with their fork.
We do have clean humor you just have to know where to look.
Very Good!... #76 ✝ {10-5-2023}
Daddy used to take cornbread & put it in collard or turnip salad pot liquor & eat it. I didn't like it when I was little, but I like it now.
lol. This is my favorite.
There are 2 really sad people in the world who don't get good humor!
Awwwwwww look for him
Where's the cussin' and the dirty talk? How can we corrupt kids with this?
last piece want it so bad :D..................
Lol
I'll admit I actually laughed at that goofy shit.
Jerry Clower was an agrichemicals saiesman in the South whose everyday conversation, point of view and humor prompted people to encourage him to perform. Eventually, that career overtook his "day job," and he went full time as a humorist. Is it Southern? Not really--virtually the same thing happened to a Jewish salesman from Manhattan's garment district, Myron Cohen. Both of them deadly at close range.
2 folks got stabbed for getting the last piece of chicken
@o0oWitchieo0o Jerry Clower is not from Yazoo City, Mississippi (contrary to popular belief). He is from Liberty, Mississippi.
Well anybody that’s ever listened to Jerry ought to know that he is from Route 4 Liberty Mississippi
@BuckWilliams17 There are some other clean one, Jerry Jordan "phone call from GOD" and all of Justin Wilson
Just shows that you can don’t have to be vulgar to be funny!!
xD jerry clowers
What album is this on?
danna farcbo.
U don’t have to talk nasty to be funny
Ok 😍🥰
Nevermind the chicken. Who got the last biscuit?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
