In 2016, four of us took the whole summer/fall and drove up there having a great time! Best summer ever. We sang this song everyday and more!! Love Johnny Horton!
My dad knew Jonny Horton, used to take him and Tennessee Ernie Ford fishing. We had an autographed album, his greatest hits, that we played over and over. Knew all his songs by heart.
Agree with Wayne. Would love to know more.. Especially as I loved T Ernie Ford too! But Johnny was tragically taken from us disgustingly early 😕 Please add a bit of info if you can.. Would be fab to have his loveliness confirmed! 💕
I saw the film as a kid when it first came out and have seen it many times since, I have never tired of it. I just love the way Jonny Horton sings the song.
My Dad drove us up the Alcan Hiway in 1961...1000 miles of dirt road. I thought Anchorage was going to look like this movie. I wasn't too far off...the main street wasn't paved until after the 1964 earthquake which we were there to experience. 9.2 quake for 5 minutes....but I grew to love it and still think of it as home.
When I was a teenager, American actor John Wayne was a masculine idol for young Koreans and a representative figure of American pioneering spirit. That is why we respected him and were witnesses of America's greatness for that reason. I remember the immortal star John Wayne forever.
This movie was a hum-dinger. A perfect cast one and all and John could relax a bit and let the co-stars shine. Johnny Horton was one of a kind and he was one of the best!
I’ve always loved this song, mom and dad taught me good. I just got a call from my daughter saying she’s getting married… and in Alaska!!! So I can’t get this song out of my head, bringing back special memories…. Just had to share❤️
It was a great song and a great movie, but I hope everyone noticed that all the scenes from the movie that appeared in this clip were filmed in the desert near the Sierra Nevada Mountains in southern California, still a great natural area, but Alaska is forest and tundra, not sagebrush and desert. Obviously done to save money during film production, as costs to ship all the equipment to film on location in Alaska would have been very high.
This song made me to a true Johnny Horton Fan!! To me one of his best songs ever, including some of his 50's Country/Rockabilly Music he recorded for his LP "The Fantastic Johnny Horton" aka "Rockin' Rollin' Johnny Horton".
Used to hear this song every Saturday morning on the record player when my mum (RIP) would play it. So many great memories and my mum loved John Wayne as well. Cheers for the post
My grandpa would play this song and I would sit in his lap while he played and sung this song. I still get chocked up when I hear it we lost grandpa in sept. 1997
This is by far my favorite John Wayne movie and Johnny Horton is the only one who could have pulled off this song. You can tell by his vocals how much emotion he puts into every lyric. Absolutely amazing. Back when there were real men and real women and nothing in between!!!!!!!!
John Wayne was my parents' favorite actor and I always watched his films with them. Fond memories of this one and as always, this video you crafted is fantastic, thanks! Sharing!!!
John Wayne is my favorite actor too since I was 12 or so. 29 now. He wasn't only an actor with a great screen presence, but a very good character actor too, for which he is a little underappreciated.
Great song, Fantastic Movie! I'm going to have to watch it again soon! I've seen it 100 times, I have the DVD! Still one of my Top 10 All Time Favorite Movies!
Johnny Horton one of the finest singers for Songs that told a story!!!!! This song turned into a great Movie starring John Wayne..If never saw it!!!Find and watch it!! RIP Johnny..!!
as a child my father to me to see "North to Alaska" in atlanta ga, i believe at the paramont or the lowes grand ! fond memories since his passing in aug 1988 !
Big Bad John has been my nickname for 45 years. I used to be able to pick up half a house. I stood a little taller than 6'6" I used to stand 6'9" tall and was strong as 5 men. But now after a accident in 2009 I'm no longer Big Bad John, just big John I'm 6'6" and around 250. And barely able to pick up fork. But oh well
For over fifty years John Wayne has entertained filmgoers around the world with his work in films. He had his first starring role in "The Big Trail", made in 1930, and after that he played leads in many low-budget westerns and serials throughout the rest of the decade. He made his first classic film "Stagecoach", in 1939, which made him one of Hollywood's top stars for four whole decades. He won an Oscar for best actor for the movie "True Grit" in 1969. He passed away from cancer in 1979. at the age of 72. John Wayne was a great man, a true symbol of the American pioneering spirit. Rest in peace, O mighty Duke of Hollywood. The movies you have made, and your memory and legacy will live on forever. And say hello to Maureen O'Hara for me while you're up there.
I remember the first saw North To Alaska I was about 7. My Mother asked me right after what man did I like best. I said definitely George Pratt. She then said the star was John Wayne and he was supposed to be the favorite. However I really preferred George Pratt quite the best! But thereafter I did become a great fan of John Wayne to!
I must thank the poster for this film clip in excellent quality to the Johnny Horton title song which the brother of my best friend had on a 45 way back in the early 60s so this is a song I have enjoyed for many a year if anything I think I like the song more with every listen. The footage is interesting as it shows just what a ham actor John Wayne often was and yet given the right role he was actualy a very fine natural performer as in The Shootist, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and of coarse in The Searchers his finest performance. Play on Johnny Horton.
I'm 75 now but I saw this at the show when it first came out. The color was breathtaking and the entire production was excellent. I never tire of watching it. It was Wayne's best and funniest. I bought the record of this song because I loved it so much.
Great movie with a superb cast and Johnny Horton sining the title song. He was killed in an auto accident outside of San Antonio, Texas about half a mile from my parent's home. Another great talent gone to soon!
They don't make films like that anymore , great cast & entertaining film and the RIGHT SONG and singer FOR THE FILM; A WESTERN EVERYONE CAN ENJOY even today! 😊😊 one of the top 20 westerns of the day.
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold Below that old white mountain Just a little south-east of Nome Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below He talked to his team of huskies As he mushed on through the snow With the northen lights a-runnin' wild In the land of the midnight sun Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man In the year of nineteen-one Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin' North to Alaska go north the rush is on North to Alaska go north the rush is on
George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand 'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home Below that old white mountain Just a little south-east of Nome Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin' North to Alaska go north the rush is on North to Alaska go north the rush is on
I never knew Rusty Goodman sang the bass part of this song till today. One of my favorite gospel singers. And we’re taking our first trip to Alaska in one month.
I must buy this movie love John Wayne and the theme song is lovely ❤️ thank you 😘💟 for sharing 💞 stay safe everyone reading this kind regards Shirley h Darlington England ✌️✋
I used to run into Johnny's widow, Billie Jean Horton, occasionally at the supermarket in Shreveport Louisiana. It's been several years since I last saw her. I think she's passed away. Nice lady.

Johnny Horton should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame
He’s not??
Horton is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.
Rockabilly HOF is better. Country Music has become shit. Nothing but tractor rap and easy listening crapola.
@@seththomas9105 not back then it wasn't crap
@@brianmaricle9646 True. I'm talking about the last 30 years.
This is one of the best classic songs of the early 60's. Still love hearing it ever since.
this song was CRAP!! WTF SMH
Saw this movie at the drive-in as a child. Loved the movie and love the song ❤❤❤❤
In 2016, four of us took the whole summer/fall and drove up there having a great time! Best summer ever. We sang this song everyday and more!! Love Johnny Horton!

I saw the film as a kid when it first came out and have seen it many times since, I have never tired of it. I just love the way Jonny Horton sings the song.
John Wayne also filmed part of True Grit in this same canyon.
That great song and movie was part of my youth also.
What movie is it
@@stephenfram9259 north to alaska

So glad we've still got those old memories and those old songs to remind us of them!
Brings back childhood memories. I saw this movie in the theater when I was 10. Still enjoy the theme song now as I did as a child.
Me too.
Johnny Horton was a truly under appreciated talent. This theme song for a Classic John Wayne movie proves that.
When I was a teenager, American actor John Wayne was a masculine idol for young Koreans and a representative figure of American pioneering spirit. That is why we respected him and were witnesses of America's greatness for that reason. I remember the immortal star John Wayne forever.

Love this movie and the song.

Loved Horton's voice. He sang the song that when you hear it you can feel the adventure and the comedy.
I’ve always loved this song, mom and dad taught me good. I just got a call from my daughter saying she’s getting married… and in Alaska!!! So I can’t get this song out of my head, bringing back special memories…. Just had to share❤️

Congratulations on your daughter's impending marriage. I, too ,really enjoy this song.

I agree Big John should be in the hall of fame
I love the westerns Jonny's music . And mighty John Wayne himself ❤️❤️❤️
The song is great and makes for good memories. The movie is entertaining and the scenery was beautiful.
damn straight
It was a great song and a great movie, but I hope everyone noticed that all the scenes from the movie that appeared in this clip were filmed in the desert near the Sierra Nevada Mountains in southern California, still a great natural area, but Alaska is forest and tundra, not sagebrush and desert. Obviously done to save money during film production, as costs to ship all the equipment to film on location in Alaska would have been very high.
One of my favorite John Wayne movies and movie theme song. RIP, Johnny Horton and John Wayne.
Masterpieces!!! The Song and the Movie!!!
Great movie and great singer. Much respect to Johnny Horton and John Wayne. Thank you dad for introducing me to both of them😊
,
Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?
This was one of my favorite John Wayne movies as a kid. I moved to Alaska with my family in 1961. Great song.
That seal is my favorite part of that movie. Absolutely love North to Alaska with John Wayne!
I so totally agree-The Star!
and the goats too!

I LOVE JOHNNY HORTON! This is fantastic! Great job enhancing the footage! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great song and a great man who sang this song.
Real music and real legends. It does not get better than that.
Never saw this fine movie with John Wayne and Stewart Granger who had to change his name because there was another James Stewart.....
Great song and a great compilation of John Wayne smashing everybody in the mouth.
Love this movie! It shows off Wayne's talents as a comic actor.
What’s the name of the movie

@Michael Biesenthal You couldn't watch a better actor in a Western than the Duke, great all rounder and underestimated as an actor.
He was my Dad's favorite!
Same here..my parents loved the movie and boy, my dad could sing a mean rendition of the song ❤️❤️

great cast & entertaining film and
the RIGHT SONG and singer FOR THE FILM;
A WESTERN EVERYONE CAN ENJOY even today! 😊😊
one of the top 20 westerns of the day.
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome
Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a-runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
movie and soundtrack can't be beat!
a great film
Great video; just like the movie; great movie!
What a classic - love them all...
Que buen recuerdo, hasta el día de hoy veo películas antiguas, me gusta mucho como se vivía antes, todo era más bello😊👏👏👏
Took me back when we 😉 these songs and the movies seen with families.gone are those days
