The best part of the video is how Patty knows when she needs to take over, and does it without missing a beat, then she falls into the backgrounds effortlessly. She’s amazing.
I went to see Vince at the Ohio State Fair three weeks after his Father (a federal judge in Columbus) had died. I truly thought he would cancel. This was the last song he sang and half way through it he broke down and couldn’t finish. Everyone at the concert stood and sang the rest of the song while he played his guitar and cried. There wasn’t a dry eye leaving his concert. I will never forget it.
I grew up in the 60s an 70s. It was a great time for music. I saw almost every pop and rock singer and band of that era in concert. But it was in the late 80s that I attended a midweek concert in a small theater on the campus of Pacific University in Stockton, California. Apparently, the bands were going from the Bay area down to the L.A. area and booked this show in between. It was at least 4 hours and maybe even 5 hours long. Place might have held a thousand people and there were empty seats. Seems country struggles for an audience on Wednesday night. Show started with Merle Haggard. Then came Conway Twitty. George Jones finished it off. Imagine those 3 legends in a small little place playing and singing like there were 50,000 of us. And this is the God's honest truth. I have not been to a single concert since. Coincidence? I'm still not sure. I am sure of this. If I get a chance to see Vince Gill, I'll be there.
@@bullfrogger1208When we lived in Honolulu, we hopped a plane to Maui to see Vince, as we were starved for some country music, lol. He was there to golf, mostly, but played a small concert at a hotel, where we all just sat on blankets on the grass in front of a small stage. He was amazing, he sounds better live than in the radio. And he’s legit hilarious. Good times.
My father heard this song two weeks before passing away. I'd always prayed my daddy would get saved from the mind that messed him up in WWII. Daddy had been in rehab for 7 months and I went every night except for one. I made sure he ate and was tucked in. You see my daddy had always been a angry man from seeing his best friends being blown to pieces in WWII and he couldn't forgive himself for having to shoot ppl to survive so their fore he thought God wouldn't forgive him. He heard this song like I said and made sure I knew he loved it. Daddys life was changed and daddy found peace before he died around 2 weeks before he passed. I made sure this song was played at his funeral. I'd prayed for my daddys salvation since I was a child and to let the world know it's Gods timing when answering our prayers not ours. Daddy died in 2009 and I'm 52 now so trust me don't stop praying and believing. God has got you.
Vince wrote this to honor his brother and his brother in music Kieth Whitley. This funeral was open to the public. You should react to Alan Jackson singing he stopped loving her today at George's funeral
i couldnt watch this after the initial showing for years. i knew Sweet Pea wouldnt make it thru..like me. Patty thank u. You held it all up. We miss you Possom
Now you’ve seen the real Patty Lovelace. That’s what my grandmother would call a woman with a steel backbone, because Lord knows she probably wanted to cry as well. This one brings me to tears every time.
Patty carried Vince - true friend having his back, see her watching him like a hawk Front row - first persons to stand are Garth Brooks, and his wife Trisha Yearwood - also having Vince’s back in a big way
Vince had to do a longer guitar solo in order to gain his composure. He looked up to George and they had a strong bond. That was George’s family crying in the front of the audience. Heartfelt reaction!
Patty did such a phenomenal job of watching him and knowing when to harmonize and when to take the lead. These two perform such awesome music together. This was a true blessing ❤️🙏
I love EVERY duet they’ve ever done together!❤ Pocket Full of Gold, When I Call You Name and this one are my favorites!! Vince’s voice has become graveling since he joined The Eagles.
George was a hero of Vince's, and most country singers of his generation. They were also good friends. George nicknamed Vince "Sweet Pea." George said Vince sang too pretty to have all those hits. You need to hear the version of this live from Carnegie Hall with Ricky Skaggs and Alison Krauss on the harmonies. It's otherworldly gorgeous.
One of the saddest songs written as an honor to his late brother. Vince was one of the young artists to back up George Jones early in his career. George was a mentor aside from one of the best Country voices in history.
Little known back story to this, aside from the original meaning of this song and Vince's affection for George Jones, he said on a podcast that it was hearing Patty sing that broke him up. He hadn't gotten to sing with her in a few years and it just hit him like a ton of bricks, so he had to do that long solo to get himself together.
A note about when the audience started standing up, those country legends themselves. I can only imagine what Vince Gill and Patty Loveless, the honor they felt, been supported from the floor, by some of the industry’s most well-known and well loved artists. This song has given so many, so much comfort through the years.
I remember when Grorge passed it seemed like America just froze in time and cried George not only touched the country music lovers with his music but he is embedded in the soul and effected and not only country music but he changed country music, America and her people to the soul and will alway remain there aslong as there is 1 not singer but atleast 1 lover of country music. Great react brother your assimilation is complete and now you have a direct line to our ancestors that youll forever be connected to.
Vince Gill started to write this song when country singer Keith Whitley died in 1989. Vince finished writing the song after his brother Bob died in 1993.
Vince Gill is one of the best guitarists in Nashville. Along with that voice and his ability to cross genres, that's why the Eagles asked him to tour with them. His older brother died young and his friend singer Keith Whitley ("When You Say Nothing At All") died of alcoholism, and Vince wrote this in honor of both of them.
Now you'll have to do the official video to get just how beautiful it is, that way you get the harmony of him, patty, and Ricky Skaggs. Then you'll understand why it was so hard for Vince to get thru it. He was very close to George "opossum" Jones. This song was played at both my parents funerals, while carrying them to the grave site.
@@tomhelmsjr not in the original video, Allison was on the opry stage. Check out the original official video. Allison stood in for Patty, cause she couldn't be there atthe time.
The fact when Vince was overwhelmed and soloed thru to compose himself, Patty stepped up strong and carried it. But the attendees standing in respect for a struggling brother hit me hard
Vince Gill is an amazing guitarist. George Jones always called him "sweetness". Vince was such a fan of George's. True respect. I can't believe he was able to sing this song at this time.
This was song at my son's funeral eight months ago. This is the first time I've been able to listen to it since then. The words totally apply to him. I praise God he is singing his heart out in heaven now. This is a powerful song.
No parent should ever have to mourn the death of their child. I am so sorry you have had to do this and my hope is that time has brought a measure of peace.
Vince Gill is one of the best performers I’ve ever seen. He wrote this for his brother who passed away in 1993. What a loving tribute. The emotion just comes straight through to your heart.
Vince started writing this song when country artist Keith Whitley passed from alcoholism, early into his career. The last few lines of the first verse "You weren't afraid to face the devil, you were no stranger to the rain" was a direct reference Keith's song "I'm No Stranger to the Rain". Vince didn't finish the song until a few years later, when his brother passed away. I think he ended his own life. In recent years, I think Vince added another final verse to the song, but I can't remember it.
Written by Vince when his brother died. A very personal song. Vince is married to Amy Grant, a Christian singer. He's one of the best guitar players of this generation. He has a problem in this video because he's so emotional. He has an amazing voice when not so choked up. BTW, Vince has been traveling recently with the Eagles!!!!
Vince is know as a great vocalist as well as a great guitarist. He won Male Vocalist of the Year, on multiple occasions. He has a RUclips channel where he invites people into his house for jam sessions and to just sit around and talk.
Vince is a scratch golfer and was good friends with Arnold Palmer. At his funeral, Vince sat down with his guitar and sang this song solo at the service and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Vince did manage to maintain his composure throughout the song. Palmer’s funeral service was broadcast live on national television on The Golf Channel, you won’t see that happen too many more times, if ever!
Vince Gill is one of the great guitarists in popular music that no one talks about. Who's the best is highly subjective, but for me his extraordinarily tasteful solos make him my favorite.
The late Charlie Daniels gave an awesome eulogy at this memorial. He had a great line about the "cookie-cutter sameness" that you see in "country" music today that caused the audience to cheer loudly. Ironically, I watched the livestream of Charlie Daniels' funeral where Vince sang this song solo.. So in a weird indirect way, it's almost like Charlie Daniels witnessed Vince perform a song at his own funeral.
Vince has deep Profound love for his family, God, and country music. When he's choked up it's hard not to be moved by it. He is the golden voice to country music, Patty Loveless in my opinion is the Queen of country music.
The first line is about Keith Whitley who died in 1989, the second line is about Vince’s Bob who died from a heart attack in 1993. Many people overlook that the 1st verse is about Keith Whitley. His death had a profound effect on the country music community, especially Vince Gill.
You have to understand that he began writing this for Keith Whitley, and didn't finish it. When his brother died because of his addiction, he picked it back up and finished it. Beautiful song that comes with so much pain. I love this song.
George Jones, legend yes!! Listen to "HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY.. I HOPE YOU "ZEB" continue your country journey.. we all live what our country singers sing... Love you and your beautiful wife.
What a totally wonderful job She did of stepping up when his voice faltered too much yet letting him try his best to hold it together and go on. If you want to hear them both in strong voice and harmony, check out When I Call Your Name.
Vince is above and beyond when it comes to guitar playing, and he's played across all genre's. After his 20+ years of Country Music, Vince has now been with the Eagles for the last few years...he's an amazing writer, vocalist and picker. He wrote this song when his brother died, its very personal to him. But you should check out the official video...the harmonies between Vince, Patty and Ricky Skaggs are beautiful. Vince and Patty have sang together quite a bit over the years, their voices go so well.
This was beautiful to watch the raw emotion, but I highly recommend going back and watching another version… goosebumps with the beautiful harmonies ❤️
Being a huge fan of all three people (George, Vince and Patty), this version of this song hits me particularly hard. The song always brings me to tears because it reminds me of the loved ones I have lost.
Vince Gill, the Guitar Slinger, is always top notch class act. One of the best songwriters in country music, and I mean REAL country. Not the shit you hear today.
Vince is the nicest person I’ve ever met. He and my brother were breakfast buddies for a few years. When I called Vince to tell him my brother was near death, he was at the house in 20 minutes, tears streaming down his face to say goodbye. ❤
This was my brother Steve's favorite song...in 1996 he died from cancer...this song was played at his funeral, to this day everytime I hear it, I break down...in a good way...thanks for reacting to it
Vince wrote this for his brother. He and George had a special bond. Patty and Vince are cousins. You should check out When I Get Home by Vince. Patty sings backup on that track as well.
Patty is not Vince’s cousin, they are just very, very close friends for over 35 years and did background singing on each other’s songs since the beginning of their careers.
@@terrybaby4vr thank you, I didn’t think I had ever heard that. Thank you for clearing that up. And yes they have sang background for each other for many years.
Also he wrote the first verse for his brother but never finished it I heard until Keith Whitley passed. The second verse “You were no stranger to the rain” is a direct reference to Keith’s “No Stranger to The Rain” Seb….you should add Keith Whitley to your list and one of my favorite George Jones songs…I don’t need your rocking chair.
Vince wrote this song after his bother passed away. Never a more beautiful voice and talent for the guitar as there is in Vince Gill. His song, Whever You Come Around, was partly responsible for me marrying my husband! LOVE his music! He's really a all around great guy!
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this but Vince wrote this song for his brother who died from cancer. A dear friend sang this song at my stepfather’s funeral. Not a dry eye in the church.
Garth Brooks was interviewed after the funeral on why he did not perform, he said he could not have gotten through a song because of the deep emotions he had for Mr. George Jones...
🤘😎🤘 Great Reaction. Much like the genre of Metal... Country Music is a family. When one dies, especially legends, the whole genre is affected. Such an amazing and heartbreaking performance.
I do believe that is a funeral at the Grand Ol' Opry. He wrote that about his brother and was singing it at a funeral of a dear friend and fellow musician. It was powerful for everyone there including him. He buried his pain in the solo to get though it. So moving and powerful. There is no shame in showing emotions. It makes you human.
There was an interview done a few years ago and Vince Gill said that this performance was one of the hardest in his career. George jones was loved by so many and was and still is an inspiration to so many in the country music industry. This song by itself is powerful and inspirational but this exact performance was on a whole different level! All time greatest!
My family plays this song at EVERY funeral. Doesn’t matter how well I’ve managed to keep it together, this song makes me ugly cry as soon as I hear the first note. Watching your journey into country music has been enjoyable and YOUR unapologetic Christianity is refreshing. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Yes yes yes! Been waiting on this one. My favorite duet with these 2 is"When I call your name" it's in the upvoty thing, but it needs all of you to go upvote it
Oh , this one kills me everytime. OMG, what a strong emotional song. The solo guitar segment wasn't meant to be this long, but the band knew that Vince had to regain control, and he did it, the only way he knew how ... by playing his guitar. Patty did an awesome job in helping Vince get through this. You'll see in the audience, Garth Brooks and his wife Trish Yearwood standing in support for Vince and beside Garth, the woman in black is George Jones' wife, Nancy. Another great one to listen to is Alan Jackson singing George's famous song He Stopped Loving Her Today. So emotional and tearing Nancy apart. ruclips.net/video/UiM42bGUFbg/видео.html RIP George as no one will be able to Fill His Shoes (another great one from George). Great reaction.
I wish people would've had you get familiar with George Jones before reacting to this. Might've made it more impactful, as it was to those of us who know both well. There's a different upload of this performance where Vince tells a funny story about him and George Jones involving ravioli, before his performance.
I have heard Vince in a small setting. So good! And, he was the nicest and most down to earth guy. Got a photo with him. It was an experience I will never forget.

The best part of the video is how Patty knows when she needs to take over, and does it without missing a beat, then she falls into the backgrounds effortlessly. She’s amazing.
She is the perfect example of an amazing duet partner and friend.
I love her so much!!!
You are so right she is so amazing to not get the credit she deserves
That was beautiful.keep it up.Vonnie 😢
Patty is so talented!!!!

@@bullfrogger1208I saw them over on the east coast! That was such an amazing show, and we were so lucky that we were able to see it! ❤
Wow, I don't even know what to say to that, just wanted to acknowledge the understanding.

This was played at my husband's funeral.. 46 yes married.. 6 years gone still missing him
i lost my dad back in '04 and it still hurts to this day, especially as i also lost my mum in '16 12 years after my dad

Patty is absolutely under rated as well as vince!!!!
Vince Gill has a truly angelic voice and Patty Loveless is one of the best female singers
Now you’ve seen the real Patty Lovelace. That’s what my grandmother would call a woman with a steel backbone, because Lord knows she probably wanted to cry as well. This one brings me to tears every time.
Small correction....it's Loveless. Lovelace was a porn star....lol
Me too.
Kay Amo
It's LOVELESS!!!
Patty was the rock he needed at this trying time.... so very moving and personal
She became the definition of the word class.
Vince Gill has the most beautiful voice in country music. I will always love hearing him
I love how she moved closer to him near the end after he got choked up bad
Patty is one class act with an INCREDIBLE voice.
VInce's solo was improvised so he could recompose himself. Beautiful.
Patty carried Vince - true friend having his back, see her watching him like a hawk
Front row - first persons to stand are Garth Brooks, and his wife Trisha Yearwood - also having Vince’s back in a big way
Props to Patty! She is the quintessential professional, and a great friend, for carrying that song like she did. A friend in need, is a friend indeed!
Vince had to do a longer guitar solo in order to gain his composure. He looked up to George and they had a strong bond. That was George’s family crying in the front of the audience. Heartfelt reaction!
Patty never looks away from him. She's there no matter what. That's country.
Remember this was originally written by Vince for his brother that passed
And Keith Whitley
Patty did such a phenomenal job of watching him and knowing when to harmonize and when to take the lead. These two perform such awesome music together. This was a true blessing ❤️🙏
I think she fought the urge to just go hug him.
Mad respect for Trisha and Garth for standing in support of a dear friend struggling, So Humble and Kind as Tim McGraw would say!!
Sweet Pea loved the Possum exactly that much. You can see how difficult that was to get through for him. Truly great performers and people.
@MR_SEBSDURAN I'm just a simple man that is not good with the high tech stuff. I don't do the DM thing. I appreciate it 🙏.
I will never not cry no matter who or how someone sings this song. It’s just beautiful. ❤
Patty Thank You and Vince
I just love how he played the guitar when he couldnt verbalize the song because of the emotions. Very beautiful.
There is not a purer voice in country music.
Alison Krauss is just as pure
@@brianbrekke9500 No, she's nasal, not the same thing.
@@radicalreactions1633 Hahahahahahahahaha "nasal" hahahahahahaha
I'd put Pam Tillis in that category as well. But there is something special about Gill.
I love EVERY duet they’ve ever done together!❤ Pocket Full of Gold, When I Call You Name and this one are my favorites!! Vince’s voice has become graveling since he joined The Eagles.

George Jones helped and over 100 artist in the country music realm in the over 50 year s
Vince is a national treasure. What a gift from the gods. A special talent.
I love how Patty watches vince for cues to how he is feeling and to know when to come in and fill for him
One of the saddest songs written as an honor to his late brother. Vince was one of the young artists to back up George Jones early in his career. George was a mentor aside from one of the best Country voices in history.

Country musicians and singers are like extended family. This is essentially Vince and Patty singing for their spiritual uncle in a big way.
A note about when the audience started standing up, those country legends themselves. I can only imagine what Vince Gill and Patty Loveless, the honor they felt, been supported from the floor, by some of the industry’s most well-known and well loved artists. This song has given so many, so much comfort through the years.
well said
Vince has an amazing tenor voice. And a fantastic guitar player. He has a song called When I call your name. Patty backs him up. It's beautiful.
And one they do very good together is “My kind of woman/ my kind of man”
And Pocket of Gold!!
I remember when Grorge passed it seemed like America just froze in time and cried George not only touched the country music lovers with his music but he is embedded in the soul and effected and not only country music but he changed country music, America and her people to the soul and will alway remain there aslong as there is 1 not singer but atleast 1 lover of country music.

I agree you should check out the official video to hear how beautiful he sings this song, I always cry when I hear this song
He wrote it for his brother when he passed
Patty was a rock. When he was too emotional to sing, Vince let his guitar sing for him.
The fact when Vince was overwhelmed and soloed thru to compose himself, Patty stepped up strong and carried it. But the attendees standing in respect for a struggling brother hit me hard
Vince Gill is an amazing guitarist. George Jones always called him "sweetness". Vince was such a fan of George's. True respect. I can't believe he was able to sing this song at this time.
George Jones nickname for him was Sweetpea, because of his sweet voice
Sweetness? Lol
No, it was Sweat Pea.

No parent should ever have to mourn the death of their child. I am so sorry you have had to do this and my hope is that time has brought a measure of peace.

Vince Gill is one of the best performers I’ve ever seen. He wrote this for his brother who passed away in 1993. What a loving tribute. The emotion just comes straight through to your heart.
The original inspiration for this song was Keith Whitley. His brother’s death was his reason for finishing the song.
George called Vince, "Sweet pea" that was his enduring name for Vince. Just beautiful.
R.I.P. George, you gave this old man some good memories. Vince and Patty did you proud!
Vince Gill and George Jones were friends. Both had love and respect for the other

What a totally wonderful job She did of stepping up when his voice faltered too much yet letting him try his best to hold it together and go on.

God I'm bawling, even sitting here watching on a screen, it's crazy!😢
Aw, man.. I wish people would've requested a different version first, so he could appreciate the beautiful 3-part harmonies in this song.
Same here.. This was a emotional one but you got to hear the full song and the words to really hear how great this song is..
George called Vince Sweet Pea
My friend sang this for me at Mom's memorial
This was beautiful to watch the raw emotion, but I highly recommend going back and watching another version… goosebumps with the beautiful harmonies ❤️
Agreed
I have watched so many reviews of this amazing performance. You are the ONLY one who "got it".
Vince is one of the finest guitar players America has produced..
There are times when us mere humans need to cry. For those of us who were so hardened by life, God gave us Vince Gill.
Being a huge fan of all three people (George, Vince and Patty), this version of this song hits me particularly hard. The song always brings me to tears because it reminds me of the loved ones I have lost.
It’s SO AWESOME the way Patty is totally there and doesn’t even hesitate. They are SO AWESOME!!❤️
Vince Gill, the Guitar Slinger, is always top notch class act. One of the best songwriters in country music, and I mean REAL country. Not the shit you hear today.
When I Call Your Name is another heartbreaker... Vince and Patty Loveless paired up for this song too.
I am dying of cancer i pray that i leave my mark like this guy does thank you for sharing this
Bless you sir, and I'm sure your mark will be remembered by many.
Don’t go without a fight! I’d look up the Joe Tippen’s protocol. Don’t wait til it’s too late!
Much love brother . Prayers for you .
Bless you ❤
Patty took over when needed. The guitar did the talking for vince. beautiful
I'm crying. Every time I see this.
Vince is the nicest person I’ve ever met. He and my brother were breakfast buddies for a few years. When I called Vince to tell him my brother was near death, he was at the house in 20 minutes, tears streaming down his face to say goodbye. ❤
This was my brother Steve's favorite song...in 1996 he died from cancer...this song was played at his funeral, to this day everytime I hear it, I break down...in a good way...thanks for reacting to it
Vince is the man I love his voice an music ❤
Vince wrote this for his brother. He and George had a special bond. Patty and Vince are cousins. You should check out When I Get Home by Vince. Patty sings backup on that track as well.
I didn’t know patty is his cousin! Thank you telling us that!
@@vhurd4996 my pleasure
Patty is not Vince’s cousin, they are just very, very close friends for over 35 years and did background singing on each other’s songs since the beginning of their careers.
@@terrybaby4vr thank you, I didn’t think I had ever heard that. Thank you for clearing that up.
And yes they have sang background for each other for many years.
Also he wrote the first verse for his brother but never finished it I heard until Keith Whitley passed. The second verse “You were no stranger to the rain” is a direct reference to Keith’s “No Stranger to The Rain”
Seb….you should add Keith Whitley to your list and one of my favorite George Jones songs…I don’t need your rocking chair.
Vince wrote this song after his bother passed away. Never a more beautiful voice and talent for the guitar as there is in Vince Gill. His song, Whever You Come Around, was partly responsible for me marrying my husband! LOVE his music! He's really a all around great guy!
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this but Vince wrote this song for his brother who died from cancer. A dear friend sang this song at my stepfather’s funeral. Not a dry eye in the church.
Brother died of a drug overdose.
Garth Brooks was interviewed after the funeral on why he did not perform, he said he could not have gotten through a song because of the deep emotions he had for Mr. George Jones...
🤘😎🤘 Great Reaction. Much like the genre of Metal... Country Music is a family. When one dies, especially legends, the whole genre is affected. Such an amazing and heartbreaking performance.
I do believe that is a funeral at the Grand Ol' Opry. He wrote that about his brother and was singing it at a funeral of a dear friend and fellow musician. It was powerful for everyone there including him. He buried his pain in the solo to get though it. So moving and powerful. There is no shame in showing emotions. It makes you human.
There was an interview done a few years ago and Vince Gill said that this performance was one of the hardest in his career. George jones was loved by so many and was and still is an inspiration to so many in the country music industry. This song by itself is powerful and inspirational but this exact performance was on a whole different level! All time greatest!
My family plays this song at EVERY funeral. Doesn’t matter how well I’ve managed to keep it together, this song makes me ugly cry as soon as I hear the first note. Watching your journey into country music has been enjoyable and YOUR unapologetic Christianity is refreshing. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Vince Gill wrote this after his brother passed. That's why he's about yo break down in tears
Yes yes yes! Been waiting on this one. My favorite duet with these 2 is"When I call your name" it's in the upvoty thing, but it needs all of you to go upvote it
Love This Song!!! Thank You Vince & Patty...It Soothes The Soul....
Oh , this one kills me everytime. OMG, what a strong emotional song. The solo guitar segment wasn't meant to be this long, but the band knew that Vince had to regain control, and he did it, the only way he knew how ... by playing his guitar. Patty did an awesome job in helping Vince get through this. You'll see in the audience, Garth Brooks and his wife Trish Yearwood standing in support for Vince and beside Garth, the woman in black is George Jones' wife, Nancy. Another great one to listen to is Alan Jackson singing George's famous song He Stopped Loving Her Today. So emotional and tearing Nancy apart. ruclips.net/video/UiM42bGUFbg/видео.html RIP George as no one will be able to Fill His Shoes (another great one from George). Great reaction.
Well said
You CANT go wrong with Vince Gill, his voice still gives me the goosebumps 😊❤
I wish people would've had you get familiar with George Jones before reacting to this. Might've made it more impactful, as it was to those of us who know both well.
There's a different upload of this performance where Vince tells a funny story about him and George Jones involving ravioli, before his performance.
I have heard Vince in a small setting. So good! And, he was the nicest and most down to earth guy. Got a photo with him. It was an experience I will never forget.
Vince wrote that from the passing of a younger brother
