They're all very talented but Patsy Cline? She's on a whole other level. No one can sing like her. Probably the best vocalist in country, folk, rock, pop, soul, R&B, even opera. The way she puts soooo much feeling in her voice. Here and there a slight cry, slight yodel, slight pause, all perfectly timed. No one can duplicate that.
Perfect instinct for musical phrasing. I bet she never planned or knew what she'd do out there during a performance. Although she was obviously completely in control.
"...even opera..." Uh, look, I love Patsy Cline, too, but the demands that opera places upon singers is absolutely unreal. Add to that the requirement for being in costume (sometimes extremely elaborate with period stays, corsets, etc.) and acting and being on the stage for hours.
I can't even believe he is gone...one of the most talented, and handsome singers ever.My mom saw him perform in Milwaukee, Wi. when he still wore white...she was dressed all in black and he stepped on her finger, ( she had her hand on the stage), ...he soon after started wearing black... ;)
@Charles Taylor yes, some people seem to have a wonderful gift for singing from a young age, don't they? I know it can be taught, but having the natural ability is a great advantage. It was a treat to see the video, I'm in Australia, and just loved it! 🙂
Johnny cash was a shit he treated Luther like a slave ,and that rhyme was Luthers not johns , don't you see how he looks at Johnny all the time and he died of an allsore ,Johnny burning in hell.
Winchester Virginia. 9-8-32 the amazing Patsy Cline 3-5-63. Be gone for nearly 60 years now and that lady can still bring a tear to ones eye. Instantly recognizable and never equaled her delivery and inflection and unique beauty. Well it leaves me awestruck.
My brother and I drove from West Virginia to visit her grave. Her voice had a ringing quality that I've never heard in any white singer. Just lovely. Unique in the true meaning of unique. Plane crash: Piper Comanche, N7000P. Patsy Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Cowboy Copas, Randy Hughes. Hughes was Patsy's manager and the pilot. Not instrument-rated. He was concerned about the weather and stopped to call his wife, who told him the sun was shining in Nashville, so he pressed on in the face of bad weather. Without instrument competency, he lost control in the clouds and crashed, killing everyone.
Patsy Cline was the queen of the lovelorn blues. What a voice ,She wrote so many songs in such a short lifetime.RIP. She is an icon, like Marilyn Monroe now.
Idk if she wrote her songs? That wouldn't at all take away from how amazing she was, I'm just curious I guess, cuz I wasn't aware she actually wrote any of her songs?
The guy in the white cowboy hat playing banjo and the double neck guitar behind Bobby Helms is Joe Maphis who was known as the "King of The Strings". He was lead guitar player for Ricky Nelson before Ricky hired James Burton. It is Maphis playing on Nelson's early hits "BeBop Baby", "Waitin' In School" and "Stood Up" among others.
I remember going to see the show in 1955 and it was just like this one. I loved it. We would ride the bus up to Compton from the Navy Base in San Diego. Those were wonderful carefree days.
The show was held every Saturday night live at a building called the Town Hall, carried live by TV station KTTV. Across the street was Jerry's BBQ restaurant you where would see some of the entertainers after the show.
I don't remember this show, but, that kid was outrageous... I hope he went on to BIGGER things for his talent. Johnny Cash, what can I say(?). Still !! 3:)
I was in the 4th grade with Larry Collins. I never saw his sister, but he was a good kid. My parents tooks us to several of these shows. Great fun. My parents went to see one of the shows with Johnny Cash, so I always look at the audience to see if I can find my deceased parents.
He made that show the classic that it is.. Still airing in 2020.. And, John Ritter was pretty awesome in everything he did.. His dark turn in ' bride of chucky ', and the episode of buffy, titled ' ted '.. problem child 1 & 2!!
A young handsome Johnny Cash. I had never seen Patsy Cline perform. It's easy to see why she was so popular. Patsy also comes across as a strong woman.
Who is still watching this in 2019??? Those Collins kids were pretty good! They were rock n roll. I'm a little dissappointed Tex didn't sing on this show. But it was still pretty good, can't complain about Johnny and Patsy!
Wonder how the families feel when they watch there relatives when they perform when they young after being deceased yrs.bet they have feeling of pride.
Patsy could have been an Academy Award winning actress as well as the greatest female country artist. She put herself into a song like no other! Her facial expressions and purity of raw feelings are beyond belief! Her early departure from this life was tragic but we must thank God for the time she did have to touch us all and to leave a mark on country musics, a high mark that very few have ever come close to reach. Thanks for posting this treasure! All of the performances were excellent! I loved the hymn as well! This young lady nailed it as well!
Wow ! What a dream line-up ! Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, The Collins Kids & Bobby Helms all in one show. The other performers were fantastic as well. A true treasure I hope it's never taken down !
Wow the Collins Kids were so talented. I’d forgotten all about them. The vintage Patsy Cline piece is vibrant and shows her stage presence. Her voice control and phrasing is mesmerizing . 💕. Of course seeing a youthful Johnny Cash before he became the “Man in Black” is the frosting on the cake.
Love these old country singers and performers I weather old country like this the new country new country sounds like rock and roll ..old county music 🎶 is yhe best
Wonderful! The smooth and bluesy Patsy Cline, Bobby Helms, Jingle bell rock immortality, The sweet,soulful balad "Special Angel " soars. Johnny Cash young and pure. All talented, having fun. Thankyou 😊
Hank Williams Snr singing the old country church, I grew up in Lilydale Australia, born in '63, I love Hank's songs, but the old country church tugs at my heart, I can hear all the saddest and happiness in his voice. Long live Hank Williams Snr, a true legend.
AMERICAN IDOL >>> Patsy would do very well on modern talent shows due to Her calm yet sweet perfect projection, pitch , tone confidence , writing talent
No matter what song Patsy sings, you can feel the depth of character in how she sings it. She was a real vocal artist. She's my favorite singer. Also, there is some attractive quality in Patsy herself.. someone who would be nice to hang out with.
A PURE CRYSTAL harmonious voice with the guitars & violins in the background , that is what I truely consider, the genuine Country-Folk songs & music coming from the USA. JOhnny Cash in the 1957 singing the this version of I WALK THE LINE, a heavenly delight. Thanks. jpier.
My grandmother was married to Bobby Helms dad,And I was really good friends with some of Bobby's kids,Used to go to his house in Martinsville Indiana quite a bit when I was in my twenties, Bobby and Dori his wife was really very nice people I loved visiting with them,My Grandmother had no children by Bobby's dad but we're married a few years.My wife and daughter just love Bobby's singing and songs and always going through the house singing my special angel and neither one is big country music fans until they head Bobby and then they go nuts over him Lol, Rest in Peace Bobby I miss you.
Today's country music is not like it used to be way back then I miss the old country music we will never get it back again so I play it quite often thanks to you RUclips
Beautiful love that music love all the older singers wish we had that kind of country music again God bless you all the one says gone play too soon rest in peace we miss you
They must have rehearsed many hours to present such a good show. All the music, vocal and instrumental, is top notch. The costumes are beautiful. The simple sets let the talent shine through, even if budget was a consideration. There was not a single mention or sign of a sponsor, at a time when sponsors plastered their names all over. I guess the show was bought by individual stations rather than broadcast by a network. Imagine so much talent in the same place and time!
What a wonderful find this old ‘Tex Ritter Country’ clip is...they are all so very young! It’s great to see Ol’ Johnny Cash at the start of his fabulous career. The little guy jumpin’ around at the beginning is fun and of course, Patsy Cline is as moving as always. Thanks for posting.
My husband grew up in Ohio.. Not far from Wheeling West Virginia and the Wheeling Jamboree where all those greats sang He is now 79 and when he was young Tex Ritter would come to his house to visit and just sit and talk My husbands parents were the most laid back and kindest people
My now deceased mom loved Patsy Cline. I know because while looking at the family scrapbook, she had cut out the newspaper article about Ms. Cline's tragic death in a plane crash. That's a fan!
Patsy Cline was considered to be the best over all singer in country music, as far as pure skill and technique is concerned, and that is still true to this day. Not saying she is everyone's favorite, everyone has their own favorite songs. I am just saying what many music teachers and musicians have said, about her skill level and technique.
Patsy Cline and I tell you what I go to the lady and borrow say hey man I got Patsy Cline records at the house and she's come right on over and we have a good old time I'll just let you know the music of Patsy Cline really brought the girls back to my place I was always always love Patsy Cline just to let you know that and this is 25-30 years ago and I'm 67 now and I ain't got no records of Patsy Cline but I'm sure as heck trying
I am a 49 year old black man who knows nothing about country music but I know about Patsy Cline....the best of the best!
Patsy can take a medium okay song and make it sound like heaven.
THIS IS PURE 50s AMERICANA WHICH IS ADMIRED ALL AROUND THE WORLD, JUST FANTASTIC. 👌👍❤🙂🏴
Wuw, it sure is startling to see Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash at such a tender age. Makes my 79 years apparent to me. JB
You're so right
Collins kids we’re and are Hot property, well ahead of their time.

Brings back memories
Dimples or Dumplin's....a timeless quandry that fella's are lamenting to this day.
Wow !!! The talent of these people was real !! Not manufactured in some computer program !! They could sing !!
How this is real country. Sure wish some radio station would play these.
My mom kinda sings like Patsy. Hearing Patsy sing makes me think of my mommy singing me to sleep when I was little. ❤️
Wow, that is a wish come true.🧸💙
Country when country was real I love these classics above and beyond all country music
I don't think I've ever seen anyone quite like Patsy Cline. She was an amazing talent.
Patsy cline and Johnny cash in 1957 Perfect
Wow! All five forms of music on this show: Country, Western, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, and Gospel.
They're all very talented but Patsy Cline? She's on a whole other level. No one can sing like her. Probably the best vocalist in country, folk, rock, pop, soul, R&B, even opera. The way she puts soooo much feeling in her voice. Here and there a slight cry, slight yodel, slight pause, all perfectly timed. No one can duplicate that.
Absolutely true!
It’s hard to believe she is singing live here! It’s almost otherworldly
Perfect instinct for musical phrasing. I bet she never planned or knew what she'd do out there during a performance. Although she was obviously completely in control.
Amen
"...even opera..."
Uh, look, I love Patsy Cline, too, but the demands that opera places upon singers is absolutely unreal. Add to that the requirement for being in costume (sometimes extremely elaborate with period stays, corsets, etc.) and acting and being on the stage for hours.
Wow-what a lineup! Johnny Cash in his prime with one of his very best songs! and Patsy was King (sorry Queen!)
Wish TV still had shows like this...
RIP Patsy Cline....What a friggin’ voice! One of the best.....
Johnny Cash was 25 here....how adorable and way gifted!!
I can't even believe he is gone...one of the most talented, and handsome singers ever.My mom saw him perform in Milwaukee, Wi. when he still wore white...she was dressed all in black and he stepped on her finger, ( she had her hand on the stage), ...he soon after started wearing black... ;)
@@Rachelpsychobabe - That is a great story and memories that no one else has!! Thank you for sharing,
“Just a Closer Walk With Thee” was my Mom’s favorite.... that little lady could sing. !!!
She should have become a star!
The way she held the notes was wonderful. The whole show was great!
@Charles Taylor yes, some people seem to have a wonderful gift for singing from a young age, don't they? I know it can be taught, but having the natural ability is a great advantage.
It was a treat to see the video, I'm in Australia, and just loved it! 🙂
A beautiful song sang by a beautiful lady and a favorite to most all ladies with strong Christian faith
Johnny cash was so young here! What a voice and talent.
Johnny cash was a shit he treated Luther like a slave ,and that rhyme was Luthers not johns , don't you see how he looks at Johnny all the time and he died of an allsore ,Johnny burning in hell.
pretty sure Everyone is young there
Winchester Virginia. 9-8-32 the amazing Patsy Cline 3-5-63.
Be gone for nearly 60 years now and that lady can still bring a tear to ones eye. Instantly recognizable and never equaled her delivery and inflection and unique beauty. Well it leaves me awestruck.
@Sharon Cinna Me too!!
My brother and I drove from West Virginia to visit her grave. Her voice had a ringing quality that I've never heard in any white singer. Just lovely. Unique in the true meaning of unique.

Very eloquently stated. Ms. Cline nearly impossible to match or compare with.
Patsy Cline was the queen of the lovelorn blues. What a voice ,She wrote so many songs in such a short lifetime.RIP. She is an icon, like Marilyn Monroe now.
Marilyn Monroe is a disgrace to the female sex! Pasty Cline, on the other hand, every inch the real Queen.
Idk if she wrote her songs? That wouldn't at all take away from how amazing she was, I'm just curious I guess, cuz I wasn't aware she actually wrote any of her songs?
@@rebeccafrankenstein5808 she didn’t

Patsy, you are still so missed.
Her And Farron Young Came To A Night Club When I Was 21 SHE Was A GREAT PERSON !
WHAT A TRAGIC LOSS ON MARCH 5 1963 PATSY CLINE WAS TAKEN FROM US SO EARLY I WENT TO THE CRASH SITE AND GOT CHILLS RIP
Right
Nice to see Joe Maphis. One of the best guitar players ever.
Not just guitar... did you see him on that banjo? Amazing...
i agree
I remember going to see the show in 1955 and it was just like this one. I loved it. We would ride the bus up to Compton from the Navy Base in San Diego. Those were wonderful carefree days.
The show was held every Saturday night live at a building called the Town Hall, carried live by TV station KTTV. Across the street was Jerry's BBQ restaurant you where would see some of the entertainers after the show.
Johnny cash looking good & young in this old video.
I don't remember this show, but, that kid was outrageous... I hope he went on to BIGGER things for his talent. Johnny Cash, what can I say(?). Still !! 3:)
Stylish, beautiful, talented, can sing so effortlessly yet so powerfully. Patsy Cline.
What a rare vid this is with Patsy Cline , a rarety of rareties.
Now this is good *down home country music* that will NEVER EVER die!!
I was in the 4th grade with Larry Collins. I never saw his sister, but he was a good kid. My parents tooks us to several of these shows. Great fun. My parents went to see one of the
shows with Johnny Cash, so I always look at the audience to see if I can find my deceased parents.
Cash was a good looking young man. He made some bad decisions, but then he turned it all around and had a wonderful impact on many people.
I’m 75 now in 2020 when see Tex Ritter it remind me of his son John Ritter of the show threes company ....
He made that show the classic that it is.. Still airing in 2020.. And, John Ritter was pretty awesome in everything he did.. His dark turn in ' bride of chucky ', and the episode of buffy, titled ' ted '.. problem child 1 & 2!!
This what you call music.
RITA GOUGH -- *ABSOLUTELY correct!!* What they have today is mostly just noise!!
A young handsome Johnny Cash. I had never seen Patsy Cline perform. It's easy to see why she was so popular. Patsy also comes across as a strong woman.
Such a great loss to all music fans. The great late Patsy Cline. God bless Patsy.
30 years old. An absolute unspeakable tragedy
😭🙏
your most welome MR WARMTH likes to share
There are lots of tragedys in the music business.
Buddy Holly, Johnny Horton, John Denver and others more. /CD
*" Patsy Cline"* has ALWAYS been & ALWAYS will be my *favorite* singer EVER!!!
I think you're *crazy*...for Patsy Cline, that is. ;)
I absolutely ADORE her and her voice!! Btw, I listen to mostly Rock n Roll/ Hip Hop. RIP Patsy Cline.....
Mine To All Ways And For Ever.....
She almost had talent which could not be measured.
I met her once, in 1959 or '60 when she came to a HFD Benefit program .. . I met so very Many there over the Years from Many Genres .. .
Who is still watching this in 2019???
Those Collins kids were pretty good! They were rock n roll. I'm a little dissappointed Tex didn't sing on this show. But it was still pretty good, can't complain about Johnny and Patsy!
I'm still watching! Glad they shared it.
watching in December... this is music as it was and should be still in 2020 and forever, we can only wish and pray it comes back one day.
They sure were all great.
I don't think music from this era will ever come back, but it's so right to put some of it on your playlist.
@@MsLaurN I do agree!
I love Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline! 2 of the best country artists of all time.
Two of the best musical artists of all time, country or anything else.
@@leslieisaacs3080Yes, and she was a beautiful lady too. What a doll. 😍😘❤️🌹🌹🌹
@@leslieisaacs3080 A bridge too far, lets just keep it country.
Outstanding! Brought back many old memories. Just don't have programs like this anymore.
nothing but garbage now
Patsy Cline, the absolute best country singer of all time.
Yes. She's ever on my mind.
packrat Buggs I agree but Johnny cash is right there with her
@Stephanie Wish we all could have heard her do that.
My guitars seem to agree with her voice better than others, especially my Gibsons"
I was around 13 at the time this aired, but here I am at 76 mesmerized by Patsy Cline and that fabulous voice.
Loved Patsy singing 'I've loved and lost again' But just watch the 'hand clapping' of the backing 'singers' Hilarious!
Wonder how the families feel when they watch there relatives when they perform when they young after being deceased yrs.bet they have feeling of pride.
I was born in 1942 i saw this on TELEVISION back in my days great show ❤

What a treat from the m apical year of1957 to see and hear such wonderful talented performers
Wow ! What a dream line-up ! Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, The Collins Kids & Bobby Helms all in one show. The other performers were fantastic as well. A true treasure I hope it's never taken down !
Awesome talent from the 50's.....a look into history
This is a historical document.
Wow the Collins Kids were so talented. I’d forgotten all about them. The vintage Patsy Cline piece is vibrant and shows her stage presence. Her voice control and phrasing is mesmerizing . 💕. Of course seeing a youthful Johnny Cash before he became the “Man in Black” is the frosting on the cake.
Again i have to thank You Tube for preserving the Country classics 5 stars!
Roger Britton geJa und dann nein
Don't think RUclips they don't have anything to do with preserving this stuff oh, thank the guy who downloaded it for us
Dont thank those fascist nazi pigs. They hate freedom. Thank the actual human with a soul.... the uploader.
They've got both kinds of music -- Western and Country!
So rare to find good live recordings of Cline -- thank you!!!
That's what I've been searching for.
I was. Ten when this was. Made love them then. Love too here those songs. Now bless those who come and gone
I didn't realize how much John Ritter favored his dad until watching this video.
Patsy stole the show! Everybody was swaying with her!
Wow that awesome music
A great piece of western musical history.
We were all kids at one point, and this proves that. What a variety show Tex puts on for incredible young talent! Priceless history, actually.
Tex Ritter was John Ritter's father. John starred on Three's Company
THIS is country and western music!
Linda Rondstat and Patsy were amazing singers!
Love these old country singers and performers I weather old country like this the new country new country sounds like rock and roll ..old county music 🎶 is yhe best
Wonderful!
The smooth and bluesy Patsy Cline,
Bobby Helms,
Jingle bell rock immortality,
The sweet,soulful balad "Special Angel " soars.
Johnny Cash young and pure.
All talented, having fun.
Thankyou 😊
Fav Christmas song! Brings back the most wonderful memories!!!

Back in the day. We'll never see anything like this again.

Hank Williams Snr singing the old country church, I grew up in Lilydale Australia, born in '63, I love Hank's songs, but the old country church tugs at my heart, I can hear all the saddest and happiness in his voice. Long live Hank Williams Snr, a true legend.
I like the way Ms. Patsy strolls nonchalantly to and from the mike in that Dale Evans cowboy outfit !
Johnny Cash with my baby Larry love to hear him say he's gone now now I can't help but listen to every one of his oh how I love
They sure don't make em like that any more. I loved it!
Terrell Bird --*"SO TRUE!!"*
I came here for Patsy 😍
How awesome is this??? Fantastic!!!! That kid playing the double neck guitar is amazing.
*"DID you notice on the "Tex Ritter" show- EVERY song that HAS BEEN performed--you can understand EACH & EVERY word that HAS BEEN sung??"*
And the singers had actual talent !!
@@robertcochran3883 'll
AMERICAN IDOL >>> Patsy would do very well on modern talent shows due to Her calm yet sweet perfect projection, pitch , tone confidence , writing talent
I think those shows demean the talent. Music is not a contest.
I was. Born in 1958. Lived in. Harahan la. What's happened on a. Small farm. Innis La. No more Dan boone TV back to reality
TOTALLY incredible--*"Johnny Cash!!"*
Hello Gloria how are you doing!!
No matter what song Patsy sings, you can feel the depth of character in how she sings it. She was a real vocal artist. She's my favorite singer. Also, there is some attractive quality in Patsy herself.. someone who would be nice to hang out with.
Such simple and enjoyable music.
Oh my god...never saw the Tex Ritter show...but listened to it on WLS out of Chicago... it was a battery operated radio.
What talent they had.
Great arrangement and easy, distinctive singing style of Patsy Cline on I've Loved and Lost Again. Thanks for posting, a great program.
A PURE CRYSTAL harmonious voice with the guitars & violins in the background , that is what I truely consider, the genuine Country-Folk songs & music coming from the USA. JOhnny Cash in the 1957 singing the this version of I WALK THE LINE, a heavenly delight. Thanks. jpier.
This music. Is of the west United States. And Folk music and country originated in the South United States.
I never saw this program growing up but sure enjoyed it 50 years later. Thanks!

Real country!
I was not even born yet in 1957. Patsy Cline, what a woman. Just a closer walk with thee, I like that song and that singer.
A wonderful look at the past with some awesome musical artists.
Pure country gold, excellent.
Priceless footage! God bless for uploading!
EDIT: "Dimples or Dumplings" fucking fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love dimples or dumplings as well. Fantastic performance by Carrot Top Anderson. Such a cute song, charming!
I just learned today that my good friends great uncle was Bobby Helms! So cool to watch this!
Loved the gal singing "Just a closer walk with thee"
Dortha Wright, I can't believe she never became a singer. She had a beautiful voice.
I thought she stole the show. Patsy Cline and Cash are legends, but she came out of no where.
@@MrFuncat A pretty girl, & a beautiful voice! I wonder what became of her?
@@MrFuncat she sings like Brenda Lee
The girl signing just a closer walk with me wow
I see a long ago guitar picker in there, Joe Maphis was I think the first to come out with the two neck guitar. Thanks for the video.
Today's country music is not like it used to be way back then I miss the old country music we will never get it back again so I play it quite often thanks to you RUclips
I was 5 years old when this was on, and CW music is still my choice today in 2022. Keep playing all...
What an amazing show! I love Tex Ritter but I never heard of Ranch Party. Great to see Patsy, Johnny Cash and all the unsurpassed talent.
I was 4 but I remember this show...and loved seeing it again...
Me too 10/02/53
I’m 67 and I remember watching some country shows with my Dad, I loved it 😊

Hello Kathryn how are you doing!!
The true heart of music.
They must have rehearsed many hours to present such a good show. All the music, vocal and instrumental, is top notch. The costumes are beautiful. The simple sets let the talent shine through, even if budget was a consideration.
There was not a single mention or sign of a sponsor, at a time when sponsors plastered their names all over. I guess the show was bought by individual stations rather than broadcast by a network.
Imagine so much talent in the same place and time!
And mind: no electronic magic to help them thru their performance, to cover up their weak spots. They seemingly had none!
A good set of observations.
What a beautiful, clear voice. Patsy was my wife's favorite singer; Hank Williams was mine.
Great video! How I wish these films could be preserved and restored. I loved Tex Ritter and that little Collins boy, wow!
Hello Gail how are you doing!!

Not saying she is everyone's favorite, everyone has their own favorite songs. I am just saying what many music teachers and musicians have said, about her skill level and technique.
Michael Craig Actually she is my favorite female country singer of all time as well as being all the things you mention.
110% the best *singer* in the world.
She is my favorite not for her singing but for here popularity still among history buffs in the Winchester Va area
Patsy Cline and I tell you what I go to the lady and borrow say hey man I got Patsy Cline records at the house and she's come right on over and we have a good old time I'll just let you know the music of Patsy Cline really brought the girls back to my place I was always always love Patsy Cline just to let you know that and this is 25-30 years ago and I'm 67 now and I ain't got no records of Patsy Cline but I'm sure as heck trying
She sure was special. She sings with that little tear in her voice! God Bless her.
