    He has written so many songs that were hits for other people before he started recoding them himself..He's been doing it from the 50's. There are videos of him from that time. You should listen to "blue eyes crying in the rain", you'll love it.

    Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in 1972. Brenda Lee also released a version in 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories.
    AllMusic lists over 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers.[1] While Lee's version stalled at number 45 on the US country chart in 1972, other performers reached the top 20 in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions: Elvis Presley in 1972; John Wesley Ryles in 1979; Willie Nelson's Grammy Award-winning version in 1982; and Pet Shop Boys in 1987.

    When we lose Willy, it is going to be a sad, sad day. Thanks for reacting to Willy. One of the greatest country and western singer/songwriters and probably the biggest proponent of weed in history. It was always headline news when Willy's tour bus would get stopped by the cops on the highway (no pun intended) and he'd get busted for possession. (This was before laws had loosened up over weed) News stations would be filming when Willy was released from the cop shop and Willy always walked out with a big ole grin on his face basically saying, "Til next time, guys."....and there were a lot of next times. lol Take care and be well, guys. Peace.

    One of the things that really sets Willie apart is his phrasing. Listen to his tests, the time that he holds notes for, the changes in pitch. He does all these without upsetting the time signature or the key of a song. I do not know of any other singer who does all those things. Put all that together with his unique voice and you get magic. Something else that is often unnoticed is his range. He makes everything sound so easy and effortless that you don't even realize how wide a range he's covered. I didn't notice it until I was singing along one day and found that I had bottomed out on my range. Willie still sounded like he'd never dropped below a deep tenor, yet unnoticed he'd eased down to bass.

    I had the privilege of watching Willie Nelson perform live in concert in 2009, at the Covelli Center in Youngstown, Ohio. It was a short time after his 76th birthday. Willie Nelson hooked up a microphone on the bottom end of his acoustic guitar, and proceeded to give the guitar performance of a lifetime. He played all of his hit songs, and he sang and performed about a half-dozen Blues songs that night, Nelson's electrified acoustic guitar growled like a grizzly bear, and his guitar playing BLEW ME AWAY! I just wish that there was a videotaped performance of Willie Nelson during that tour. It was clearly some of the best performances of his career.

    You should listen to some of his duets with Waylon Jennings like Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys or Luckenbach, Texas; also, check out Waylon Jennings' solo work, so good.

    He has some great duets also. Toby Keith he did "Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses", "Pancho and Lefty" with the late great Merle Haggard. Also, a hysterical one is the live version with Willie watching Toby Keith singing "I'll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again" I think Snoop Dog said the same thing. 😂😂

    I met Willie back in the 80's on a golf course in LaGrange, Ky. He is the most genuine down to earth human being you could ever meet. He is exactly as you would imagine him. A national treasure.

    You’ll love Elvis Presley’s version of this song. You have to do Willie and Merle Haggard’s duet ‘Pancho & Lefty’ or one of his duets with Waylon Jennings. ‘Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain’, ‘On The Road Again’ & ‘City Of New Orleans’ are other good Willie songs to check out.

    Love, love , love Willie Nelson. This man has the sweetest voice. He could sing names from the phone book and it would sound ahhh-mazing. Please listen to Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. My all time favorite song. My dad used to sing it to me when I was little and he still does today. He gets out his guitar when I go to see him and the song just brings me to tears. Willie has written sooooo many songs, even for other people. He has quite a history in the music industry.

    It is so touching to watch Amber just fall in love when a the lyrics of a song touch her heart ("I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that your mine.").
    "He's looking back at it, wishing he'd done everything the right way." Don't we all feel that way about so many things.

    Willie Nelson was in a supergroup known as The Highwaymen. It includes: Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings, and the synergistic talent of these four stars exploded into a supernova which is The Highwayman. Please have a listen to a song called The Highwaymen by the group The Highwaymen and tell us what you think

I Saw The Highwaymen in Las Vegas when I was 13 years old. I was on holiday visiting my sister. Are you from Cleveland?

    You guys should check out the duet he does with his son Lukas in "Just Breathe." Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real have some great songs. More towards the rocking side but sounds like a younger version of his dad. Willie also did a duet with Snoop Dogg called "Roll Me Up"

      Makes me wonder which one smoked the other under the table, Willie or Snoop. My money's on Willie. :) That being said, you should check out Toby Keith's "I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again".

    One of the most beautiful and surreal moments in my life came when I was hiking in the mountains in Thailand outside Chang Mai. I was solo with my guide, Lek, and we passed another group whose Thai guide looked to be about 70 years old. Lek and I stopped to chat for a moment then went on. A few minutes later I heard the most beautiful tenor voice echoing through the mountains -- that elderly tour guide singing "You Were Always On My Mind"!

    To be honest, I prefer this to Elvis's version. he just puts better emotion into it. You should consider checking out Clint Black's When I Said I do. It is a gorgeous duet with his wife, Lisa Hartman Black. Love to all.
