I have so many versions of this song....but no one can sing it like the "Voice". There's no doubt he's the Leader of the Band in heaven and the angels are singing backup.
I found this song, Vern, just after my sister died. It helped me through that sad time. I played it over and over and over. Always felt like an angel led me to it one day at the mall. Then years later I mentioned it to a friend that knew him, and she surprised me one day with the Gospel Album this song is on, and His Autograph, personalized to me. I play it and think of my sister. She passed on in 1987. Seems like yesterday. She flew away to be with Christ.
My mother really loved Vern! I feel your pain 😔 They both left me in the same year 2009. Kinda makes me wonder! God bless you 🙏 That is a heart felt comment and post 🙏
Lisa Stack We seemed to have lost all of our true country singers. They are all missed so much. I sure wish the newer singers would pick up this style.
No one could ever do it any better. I loved ever song he ever sang. I have never heard anyone sing it like he does, it is awesome! Vern you music will live on, but you and your talent will surely be missed for a lifetime! God bless.
Put him in the CMHOF!!!!! Jones is there , haggard too , Whitley too .... And rightfully so , c'mon ain't nobody more deserving then The Voice, Vern Gosdin
Thank GOD FOR SHARING VERN WITH US just a little while.He is singing in the Choir of the LORD. There were plenty of others to greet him I'm sure.Yes,I LOVED HIM TOO.REST IN PEACE.I SURE MISS YOU.
Vern Gosdin, The Voice Derwin Hinson, Vocals, Acoustic Guitar Danny Hinson, Vocals, Mandolin Mike Baker, Electric Guitar Dave Rorick, Bass Jay Spell, Piano Paul Cook, Drums On very rare occasions do the stars align perfectly. This is one such occasion. This group of men took a Hymn that's been written for nearly 100 years, sang and recorded by literally thousands of people, and made it sound the absolute best it ever could. LIVE! The Lord's hand was upon these men on this night. Bless you all. And thank you for this once in a lifetime performance!
This Is The Result's Of A Great Song And The Best Country Singer to ever Hit Nashville Vern And The KMA Band was All Hand Picked By Vern He Loved Gospel Music And Harmonies And It Show's Very Well On Stage He Never Needed Autotune it was just Pure talent .
Absolutely beautiful voice that I miss to this day and will for as long as I am able. Thanks, Vern, for sharing your time, talent, and treasure!!! Sweet times for you in heaven.

I love to hear vern sisg this song it has meant alot to me to just to set and hear it. It has lifted up some much Thank You Vern and thank God for your voice!
Vern died 2 years ago on my birthday (April 28th). I was out in Vegas. His music has always meant so much to me.Especially the sad ones. He was so good at those.
'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away Some bright morning when this life is over, I'll fly away To a land on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away Like a bird from these prison walls, I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away To a land where joy will never end, I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away When I die, hallellujah by and by, I'll fly a
Told the wife (Who was always threatening to kill me😂) that if I went first I wanted this and Vern's version of Jesus hold my hand played at my funeral..any additional music was up to her.
one of the best old Gospel songs ever. Great fun to sing and play. It was one of the first songs I ever sang in church as a professional musician. I prefer it with a stand up walking bass in a more bluegrass style but I love the harmonies in this video. It needs more banjo Joey! LOL
@whispercrazy13 We have an awesome God He just healed my only child of cancer, people can say what they want but God healed my son. Praise God Almighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
36 sad people who couldn't like Vern's original approach to this classic....I'm all for original....love this best by Willie Nelson...but do so love this laid back interpretation
@davidgmetoo Great gosple music jesus hold my hand and i'll fly away by Brother vern gosdin are there many more videos? let me know thank you and God bless
This could be the best version of this song I've ever heard
It is.
My son in law Danny Hinson is singing high harmony and playing mandolin and his brother Derwin is singing low harmony and playing the flat top.
I have so many versions of this song....but no one can sing it like the "Voice". There's no doubt he's the Leader of the Band in heaven and the angels are singing backup.

"When I die hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away." Vern we love ya man, your memory will still live on!
I asked my wife to play this and Jesus hold my hand at my funeral. I can't think of a better send off.
We need country singers like this to return to country music, this is true counrty music. I love this music.
Lisa Stack We seemed to have lost all of our true country singers. They are all missed so much. I sure wish the newer singers would pick up this style.
Ain't happenin'.
Right on Debbie. Today they all look alike and sound alike, it's the written word, miss. The ERA has come and gone, seen any ABE LINCONS LATELY?
the finest singer to ever take the stage.No matter what he sang,the chill factor was high
My mother loved Vern! They both left me in the same year 2009. Sometimes it makes me wonder! That is a really nice comment and post! God bless you 🙏
Agree!
No one could ever do it any better. I loved ever song he ever sang. I have never heard anyone sing it like he does, it is awesome! Vern you music will live on, but you and your talent will surely be missed for a lifetime! God bless.

Glory be to God ❤
'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Some bright morning when this life is over, I'll fly away
To a land on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away
To a land where joy will never end, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallellujah by and by, I'll fly a
Amazing Spirit Filled Glory❤
He got a wonderful beautiful voice

That was great. Very well done.

The back-up singers, Very good too.
36 sad people who couldn't like Vern's original approach to this classic....I'm all for original....love this best by Willie Nelson...but do so love this laid back interpretation
@tampamary whooo thats amazing i dont see how people say there isnt a God!! WHAT A BLESSING THAT IS TO ME!! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR FAMILY:)
I love this song!! Him and Kenny Rogers versions are the best!
Very beautiful
That pianist is good.
Hargus( pig ) Robbins . Spring City , Tn.
Actually, His name is Jay Spell.
I enjoy the way you do this - thanks. Gene
illll fly Awayyyy
I love this. I'm sure you've been told that Gosdin is misspelled in your title above.
my girlfriends dad would love this song-he lays on a hill in st.clairsville ohio.
If you like this song...check out Vern's - "Way Down Deep" You will have to search for it by spelling the last name "GOSDEN" its spelled wrong. Enjoy!
Vern's 'The Gospel Album'
Mr. Jay Spell on the piano.
@davidgmetoo Great gosple music jesus hold my hand and i'll fly away by Brother vern gosdin are there many more videos? let me know thank you and God bless
@donnaoliver1 My prayers are with you my friend
@tampamary
Haleluyah
Admin, please correct singer's surname.
stanibol Thank you, it has been corrected
The family sang "I'll Fly Away" outside my mom's hospital window as we waited for her imminent death 😔
Then this is the second best version of this song ever.
Tonal vocalizations very similar to Randy Travis.
Yo momma'!
