Don Williams, The Gentle Giant as he was called. One of the most genuine people in all of music. Britt all his music is so soothing and feels like a hug. He's advanced in age here and still sounds good!! Please do more, Good Ole Boys Like Me is one worth checking out
He passed away in 2017.
He was also called Butter Voice because his voice was as smooth as Butter.
I had the pleasure of knowing Don Williams and to call him a friend; he was a down home countryboy 100%, this song was written and recorded long before the current lifestyles came around, Don died in 2017 and yes he would add in lyrics that fit with the crowd, all of his songs are slow and sweet, Don would play for hours, he had a unique voice and is a man that will be missed.
Britt you do such a good job on these reviews that is different from the rest; keep up the awesome work.
I got to meet him a couple times in his later years. Most people didn’t know who he was. But my grandmother LOVED Don Williams, and played his records all the time. And I recognized him immediately. Incredibly humble man.
I was a teen back in the 1970's and grew up listening to him and seeing some of his performances on t.v. specials back then - also was a fan of W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings movie.
I rarely get teary eyed and choked up when I hear about an entertainer's death. But I did when I heard Don Williams had passed away.
@@StormyPeak My dad used to pick guitars and listen to Country music when I was young and we lived in Germany in the 70s. Don Williams was my favorite, and my dad used to play some Don Williams' songs when he played on the weekends. Great memories.
@@_viper2c_562 Both of my grand-fathers played banjo. Plus my dad's dad played piano, and my mom's dad also played guitar, and the mandolin.
I learned to play piano, mandolin and guitar. So I think I got that from both my grand-dads. I'm a woman, and 60 years old now...my fingers are too messes up to let me play anymore.
I did learn the Don William songs, Some Broken Hearts, and It Must Be Love. : )
Both on the piano.
I have an auto-harp I would like to learn how to play. I can press on the cord buttons without a lot of pain, and use a pick to strum it.
But it needs new strings/pads and I would also like someone to teach me how to tune it.
Seems like time and money are always a deterrent for me to get into learning this instrument, though. : (
I hope you got some audio or video recordings of your dad playing. I recently found a reel to reel tape from 1968 of my mom's dad and his band playing some hilly-billy/country music. My grandpa died in 1979, so it was heart warming to hear his voice again and hear him play and sing.
I still love this man. ❤
Hi Britt .. so , I will tell you what this song means to me. I had a cousin who was also my best friend He passed away in 1989 in DWI car accident. He was 26 , and I was 23. We were raised on Country Music , but also loved to drive around blaring Rock n Roll , like AC/DC and Van Halen and Bad Company etc. Our parents played Country Music and they all loved Don Williams. I was asked to give the eulogy at the funeral of my best friend. After some heartfelt words , I read the lyrics to this song .... as they described him perfectly, and he loved the song. TY for sharing this one.
It was written and originally released in the 70s. A time when saying that you believe in babies and mom and dad wasn't controversial. Sadly, in today's world, it wouldn't shock me if youtube banned this song due to the lyrics. The world is in a sad state.
I saw him in concert and everyone could sing every song word by word. He was my favorite
Same here. Saw him in the late 80's. It was a triple bill with Garth, Don, and Reba. That was a concert!
He was my grandmas favorite singer! It is a 70s song! All his songs are beautiful!! 💔
Don Williams captured the spirit of his time. When things were simpler. He is in the heart of America, but his songs translate and are loved and appreciated by the music world.
My favorite song by Don Williams!! I'm old😂😂😂
You got that right. Don Williams has a “hug” of a voice. Same as Jim Reeves. Don Williams is a long standing Member of my music collection. He writes his own stuff and it is beautiful. My personal favourite of his is, “I Recall a Gypsy Woman.” “Amanda” is lovely, as is “She’s in a Love with a Rodeo Man” and so many more. All of them a warm sonic hug.
Many of his songs were written by Bob McDill.
@@teenasmith9619 Fair enough. I stand corrected. :)
old school country,is still the best..he was so smooth and known as the gentle giant
I love Don Williams. It’s a good catalog of music to hangout by a fire to.
Even back in the days when I hated country music I didn't pass up the chance to listen to this guy. Never, not once, did he do a bad song. Totally underappreciated.
Don Williams was amazing. All his music makes you feel good. Relax fussy babies everytime.
Another of his "Best" is "You're My Best Friend". Incredible lyrics.
She reacted to it

Your reactions are the most genuine on all of youtube
I love don williams voice, its soo good!!!
I went to a Don Williams concert in Columbia Maryland in the early 80's. There was an opening act that was unknown at the time we had to sit through first - The Judds.
I later went to another Don Williams concert at the football stadium at Fairfax Highschool, in Fairfax Virginia, and had to sit through another unknown opening act - Lee Greenwood.
Smoothest voice ever.
LOL you just described don Williams voice. A warm hug.
My father loved Don Williams. He was a true gift to country music.
We went to one of his concerts and it was so laid back. He sat on a stool and did his thing. It was awesome! RIP!
I am sure I am late to the party,but this song was written a long time ago.... Our problems politicaly and socially are very old and Don Williams, the Gentle Giant understood the world we live in better than most. Please review Good Ol' Boys like me. Would love to here your take on it.
Britt your description of Don Williams music as hug is spot-on
Life was lived at a much slower pace prior to the 80's ( no matter what type of music you listened to) . Great song, love his voice & the pace. Like a hug... yes. And your swaying back and forth lets you know why babies like to be rocked gently to sleep .. or to be soothed that way. So peaceful and calming.
"The Gentle Giant." Don just sits there & sings to you. He didn't have to jump around with fire works on the stage doing crazy things. The Country Singers l grew up with didn't need to do that stuff, because they could really sing, with or without music. That's what you get with a great voice! Listen to him sing, "Lord, l Hope This Day is Good."
"It feels like a hug." You just articulated the warm fuzzies I get from this song.
Love is on a roll, is also very good by don williams!!!!
Great Song, I completely forget this song. I missed the line when he would sing “I believe in puppies.” I use to love that Line.
Beautiful! High school memories! There would be six or seven of in the station wagon going to the game or after the game going out to eat. This song would come on the radio. Yes the country station. When country was country. All of us would sing along. Good times! Great friends!
Love this song and this artist. Not pretentious at all. Just a simple song delivered in a simple way.
Wonderful singer! one of the few who could sit in a chair, and you would just listen.
This was my mom and dad's song when they were married in the early 80's, I love this song so much ❤
I love Don Williams!
Don Williams! Wonderful "Gentle Giant"! Always said I could listen to him all night!
What a great description, 'if a song was a hug it would be this one'. Don Williams is greatly under-appreciated!
Incidentally my favorite Don Williams song is I want to hear a heartbeat.
You are by far one of my favorite reactors. You always find the joy in the music. You are the best.
DON WILLIAMS HAS ALWAYS HAD THAT MELTED BUTTER VOICE, SO RELAXING......THANKS FOR THE REACTION BRITT, IT WAS GREAT
My hands down favorite artist since I was a kid and he was still making music.
When I was a little boy, this song was on my mom and dad's jukebox downstairs...I miss my dad. We used to shoot pool listening to this...
You should hear him when he was younger. His voice was like butter.
all of his songs are great to me, but " I'm just a country boy" is one of my favorites , definitely worth a listen
This was the song my daughter and I picked for our father/daughter dance at her wedding.
Don Williams has always been my favorite...
Ohh you found Don Williams! He’s the cure for anything wrong in your life, just listen to this song! It’s heartwarming, easy to listen to and just happy!❤
I loved it when he walked on stage at the Grammys in a tux and his hat with the sweat stains around the band.
Gotta love this guy!
I could listen to that man for hours! Good reaction.
The sweetest song ever ❤😊
I was privileged to see Don Williams in concert about 10 years ago. As audiences sometimes do, one person kept calling out one of his songs, wanting him to sing it. Williams said, "You know, I don't normally talk to the audience and tonight I'm feeling really normal." The audience exploded. During intermission I had the opportunity to talk to his opening singer who was from Ireland. He was a good 50 years younger than Mr. Williams and said he was so thrilled to be opening for Don and that he was truly one of the nicest people he'd ever met. I was so glad to hear this because I've always liked the "Gentle Giant" (He's 6'7" tall) and I'm glad to hear you say you like him, too.
I love when you react to an artist I have heard or even thought of for a while! Thank you! I have always loved Don Williams. I know he passed away several years ago. Some of my fav songs are Good Ole Boys Like Me, Lord I hope this Day is Good and You're My Best Friend.
If I remember correctly, this song was runner up to George Jones' He Stopped Loving Her Today for song of the year.
Don was a very quiet person. I took my son to Nashville to see him probably 15 years ago. He was 6 - 7 songs in before he said a word to the crowd. As we were cheering loudly after a song, that word was... mercy. Then he went right into the next song.
This song does feel like a hug! I love how you said that 😊
Britt, you have such a way on how you appreciate each song and its content. It's very refreshing to me. God bless.
'Amanda' is one of favorites.
Yes!!
Best song ever
I love all of Don Williams's songs, but Good Ole Boys Like Me is my all time favorite.
Don Williams was one of the greatest songs in Country music
I love the late Don Williams. He was called the Gentle Giant.
A few years ago I was accompanying my brother to a small rural medical clinic in Texas, and as we walked through the parking lot we passed by an old pick-up truck with its windows open. There was a man sitting inside (waiting, I guess, for his wife or someone inside), and he was singing this song a capella. And man, he was GOOD. We slowed down so we could listen to him -- we were the only ones in the parking lot, besides him -- and when he finished we clapped. I never learned who the man was; he might even been Don Williams, for all I know. But whoever he was ... bless his heart!
Don Williams is great!
Grew up listening to him because of my parents. Have such a appreciation for his music.
One of my all time favorites!! Such a treasure.
That "Voice" .... One of my most favorite singers of all time!!! True Country at it's finest!!! Known as "The Gentle Giant" ... a voice that never really changed but got better with time! Be Safe
The velvet voice of Don Williams . One of a kind . Great reaction!
Don Williams had one of the smoothest voices in Country Music. R.I.P. I think this is somewhere about 40 years old.
"if a hug was a song."
nailed it.
His voice is just too damn smooth. Saw Don Williams with George Strait and some kid named Garth Brooks as the opening act. It was a great show.
You, always put a BIG SMILE on my face ... God Bless You, Girl.
😊
More Don Williams please!
A master I saw him in concert and he just sat on a stool and sang. Nothing fancy just good music
Young lady you should watch some of his concerts overseas in Europe and Africa. He was loved all over the planet.
Love this song…the guitar actually just speaks to me in the most
heartfelt way, right next to his wonderful voice. ❤️🔥
LOVE THIS SONG and Don Williams voice. Great choice!
It reminds me of my Dad on saturday and sitting in the tailgunner seat ( the back Seat facing backwards) in our chevy wagon . This song would come on and then a cash song then Dolly or Waylon. I wish would go for a ride with him one more time!
What a beautiful song,R.I.P. Don Williams ❤❤❤❤
He was known as a Gentle Giant..... a very well loved man.
So glad you did this. So wonderful. Thank you. You got it.
I've always loved the smooth deep tones of Don Williams. i once attended one of his concerts & he didn't talk hardly at all. It was just song after song.
Don Williams, The Gentle Giant, always brings a wholesome perspective.
Many years ago I had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful little working farm in Wales for a few days. Note, this was long before the Internet spread all types of music around the world. While there I discovered that the wife of the household was a huge Don Williams fan, which shocked me since I hadn't met anyone over there who seemed to know anything about American country music. I just happened to have his greatest hits tape in the small collection of tapes I had with me, which I could replace easily back in the States, so I gifted it too her and she was enormously grateful.
One of his last recordings was "Imagine That" with Keith Urban,Great song.
Don Williams a Fantastic Country Singer and artist. Very Smooth voice. Another great reaction
Don Williams was such a treasure! R.I.P. Don Williams
Thank you! One of my fave songs by one of my all-time fave singers❤ Another song choice would be "Amanda"
Don released this song in 1977 I was 9 Yrs old , Same year Elvis Presley Died , I was sitting in my mom’s car listening to the radio, as I often did for entertainment we didn’t have a TV then. I heard the news that Elvis passed away on August 16th two days after my mom’s birthday 😥
I ran in the house to tell my mother, she didn’t believe me and told me to never tell stories, sadly it was true.
Don could sing the phone book and people would listen
This is probably my favorite Don Williams song. Such a great message imparted. He sounds exactly the same live as on record. Incidentally, one of my favorite Underdog Artists Marty Brown idolized Don Williams. Infact, the little hat he wears is in honor of Don (my dad's first name). Williams had a great voice, and so does Marty. Check out his song that on title alone should be very intriguing enough "You Can't Wrap Your Arms Around A Memory". Marty is as Country as it gets. You will become a huge fan. Just needs to be heard. He has written many big hit songs for other people over the years. Including Brooks and Dunn's monster hit "Play Somethin' Country".
I believe in Don Williams
I listened to a lot of Don Williams growing up, I was able to see him in concert about a year before he died. Still listening today, his music is timeless. He and Angelina Jordan are probably my two favorite singers. Don has a lot of songs you would really enjoy Britt, and Angelina will be dropping new music before the end of the month! Looking forward to seeing more Don and Angelina with you!
The Gentle Giant was a Legend. My Papaw was also called the Gentle Giant.
Britt- Don Williams is one of the all time greats. Great song writer and great singer. You can't go wrong with I Believe In You. Another great one he did was Good ole boys like me. . Check that one out..
A song of hope, coming out of "The Great Malaise" of the '70s. It crossed over into pop as well.
And that's why he's called the Gentle Giant
Britt, a great journey for you:
Don Williams - Amanda
Waylon Jennings - Amanda
Chris and Morgane Stapleton- Amanda
My late mother's songs who passed away shortly after Don Williams passed on He was great, an old country soothing voice, his sister taught him to play the guitar and that was him.
I loved his version of "I'm just a country boy" it's been sung by numerous persons from Sam Cooke to Harry belafonte but big dons version is sublime.
Good Old Boys LIke Me is another favorite from Don.
Don Williams had one of the best voices in Country Music. When he sang, you knew who was singing.
My grandmama loved this song. My grandpa sang it to her all the time.
That was one of my Dad's favourite songs, whenever I hear it, it reminds me of him. Always brings a tear to my eyes.
The song came out in 1977. There were a lot of Don Williams songs on our jukebox that were newer when I started working at my parent's bar in 1979 but this one was always on every jukebox in every country bar. Still is.
Don Williams 40 Greatest Hits is one of the greatest compilations of pure music there is. Nothing flashy about any of it, but you feel every word. If ever you are asked what is your favorite Don Williams song, the correct response should be it's either the one that just finished or the one that's starting now.
Thanks for a reaction to one of my favorite Don Williams songs. I got to see him in concert twice and he was amazing. Most of his songs are very soothing. A couple of others of his that I would suggest is:
Miracles
Lord I Hope This Day Is Good.
His fans knew his songs by heart and it was very typical of him to stop singing and hold his mic out to the audience to sing a chorus. Even in this I could hear the audience in the background at a couple of points. A couple of people in the comments talk about knowing him personally. I'd say were blessed. He was an impressive entertainer.
