I'm from Denmark and a Hank Thompson fan since childhood in the 60's. Yes, his records made it over here back then. 20 years ago he answered a letter I wrote him. What a nice guy.
He is one of the only thumb pickers i have noticed that played country...What voice and talent.. I miss him and didn't even know him personally..He must have been a very happy person cuz he always smiled.And the hew haw style chicken song was fantastic! I almost fell out of my chair ..
Hank is one of the few very great authentic Texas country-western performers and Hall of Famer! His entire collection of songs and Bear Family Albums are a collectors dream.
Jimmy Dean is to be given credit for exposing the country to this kind of music. Some of my first TV memories are from this show and ROLF! Dean knew talent... Thompson was a GOD.
I thought I'd heard all of Hank's songs. "Yesterday's Girl" used to be my favorite, but now this one is. Almost everytime I turn on my computer I have to listen to it.
One of the highlights of my life was to get to DANCE with my sexy wife to Hanks music in the US NATIONAL GAURD ARMOURY in Tucumcari, NM, in the 1950's. One of the best entertainers in my 85 years, for sure!
ya, i was looking it up on the net , then found out, sorry for the "mis-imformation", what a loss, i'v got his music on lp's and " YUOTUBE", thanks, Mac
I am 88 years old,just lost my only love of 68 years

SHARMING..........SO MUCH....
Jimmy lives here in Richmond, VA. Has a nice place on the James River. I believe that this is his wife's hometown.

A so-so singer, but a great musician.
Enunciation! YES!
@canoebelue Tex Williams did Miss Nancy Ann's Hotel. Jimmy may have done it too, but Tex had the hit.
That man could sing into a Gene Rayburn condensor mike, boy-o
Hmm … apparently one person accidentally clicked "dislike." I mean, it had to be an accident, right?
What show is this?
Didn't this guy do "The night Miss Nancy Ann's hotel burned down"? Late 60's or so.
No...he passed away November 6 of lung cancer.
why RIP? he is NOT dead, he is still performing today
