This man is from a time when singers poured their heart & soul into their music, their craft unlike the crap you hear today. You won't hear any one better for sure.
I replay his & other artists during that time when today's music seems to be recycled. Miss them all... RVS, Patti Loveless, Suzy Boggus, Mark Collie, Joe Diffie, etc💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks lord almighty savior Jesus Christ I love you 💕 you all I have to our belongs to you lord forgive me I appreciate all my friends love y’all merry Christmas 🎄🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹🌹🎼❤️❤️🌎🌎🌎
Agree. I've seen him 6 times in concert. Never sorry. Got hugs everytime and autographs . Would go see him again and again if he was still singing. My favorite singer and looker!!!!
Ricky Vans song "I'll leave this world loving you" has been going through my head all day. I had forgotten what good Country Music sounded like. Love this guy
I have not walked yet you will see my life means more to me than bullshit when its done its done you cant change the way i feel this hss been a year still same shit reality am doing thid to me when i dont have t to am done talking
I SO WISH And Hope For That. I Was Born and Raised In England, For the Early Years Of My Life., but I Have Always Enjoyed Listening To Country Music Aswell. 😅😂😘
I came to this country in 1958, I was 12 years old and orphaned. I had never heard what people call country music until then. Over the years something has happened. Things became cheap, easy, no sense of value. Our music has suffered the same way. The music, the songs that told stories about our lives, the things we hold dear, the adventures, and the losses, have faded and it's not about the song, the story, it's about special effects, just plain noise. I listen to the "old" country because it's the only one that exists for me.
Sandra Miller. That is so easy to believe and I wholeheartedly believe this is true of him. I just found this video about a week ago, and I have played it several times during the day for approximately the past week. I Love this guy, wish I had come across him and his videos much sooner. ❤️ 🌹 👍 🌹 ❤️ 🌹 👍 ❤️ 🌹
One of the greatest country music voices of all time! What a gift this artist has. I do remember that Marty Robbins did this song after Ricky did and M.R. got more radio time because of his notoriety. That was just B.S. in my opinion because Ricky sings song 100 times better!
Ricky VanShelton and George Strait are the two BY-FAR BEST country music artists to ever step foot on any stage. His twenty-year career was FOR US WHO LOVED HIM AND HIS MUSIC was way too short. I hope and pray his life has been everything he could have wanted it to be.
Dear Ricky, I can understand you wanting time out with your family, and admire you for it, but oh boy don't we miss you. There are very few voices like yours. Thank God we have records :)
RVS is the real king when you actually listen to his voice compared to other wonderful artists. He’s just gifted above the rest. Love to hear him sing he has a passion for music that of only of true legend. 🙏
One of the BEST REAL COUNTRY SINGERS TO GRACE THE COMUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME. LOVE U STILL RFS!!! Make a great come back for all your fans PLEASE!!!!!
I was so fortunate to see this man in person when he played a concert in 1989 and it was worth every penny. He was and still is a great performer and I absolutely loved his voice. I cried when he announced he was retiring from touring. I think he wrote a couple of children's books. Anyway he is happy on his acreage but I still miss his singing.
This song hits so close to home. When Ricky sings it (after a couple of longnecks) it puts a lump in my throat just like someone is peeling onions nearby. Can't help it. Its as if when he is singing with such feeling its like he's reaching into your soul and squeezing your heartstrings. He is a wonderful singer and I wish he sang more. He may have had is reasons for stepping outside the limelight - but there isn't a day that goes by that someone plays Ricky Van Shelton & Patsy Cline on the jukebox.
He's got fabulous voice and he sure is easy on the eyes Pure Country at his best so sad that he didn't get the recognition he so deserved I love that song so beautiful and sweet and romantic song great song I love Ricky Van Shelton so much 🦊😋😘💞👍❤️💖💋⭐🥰❣️💜💛🔥🤩☺️🌹❣️🎵💘💚💝💓🎶🎼💙😍💯😊🧡🎸
The first recording of the song that I know about was Jack Green in 1969. David Ruffin' recorded the song around 1975. And honestly the best version of it I've heard yet is Van Shelton. I hate the phrasing on Ruffin's version it sounds like bad Sinatra. I listen to Bill Medley's version hoping that it might be worthy competition because he is a great singer, but it wasn't one of Bill's better recordings.
@@jerryweller7011 I agree with you! I first heard Jack Green's version on the radio several years ago and just liked the song. After looking it up, I listened to David Ruffin's version but it wasn't very good (imo) and then I came across this version and it just sounded much better.
Ricky van Shelton was one of the best country music singers ever to hit the stage, I wish he had not retired and continued to put out real country music but if the man is happy doing what he’s doing now I am glad for him
Was lucky enough to catch him live, here in Glasgow. Charisma by the bucket load ❣ andxa Voice! Even his most awesome tracks don't do him full justice ❣

I agree the stuff you hear now days is not country music. I prefer the older country music to this day.❤😊
Today's singers don't hold a candle in the wind to him.
Or even without the wind!
100%
Pure talent.
No gimmicks just a heavenly voice.
Absolutely the best second to none
It's safe to say, this song will never be covered by another. Nobody could ever come close to doing it justice, after this masterpiece.
Freddy heart
David Ruffin
Jack Green
Truth
Truth!
Sorry Jack Green did way before Ricky
This man is from a time when singers poured their heart & soul into their music, their craft unlike the crap you hear today. You won't hear any one better for sure.
Very well said. And very true.
Absolutely
well said
i wouldnt actually say that, theres still one
@@brianblithe2271 And who would that be
One of the truly Great Country singers that never got the recognition he deserved!
Totally agree! Xx
100%
He got some recognition. He had 10 no. 1 hits.
I replay his & other artists during that time when today's music seems to be recycled. Miss them all... RVS, Patti Loveless, Suzy Boggus, Mark Collie, Joe Diffie, etc💖💖💖💖💖
I agree fully
No smoke no light show just Ricky Van Shelton n his band playing
Last of the real country singers. He was carved in stone from the past.
I could listen to this song and his voice 24hrs a day and I'd never get tired of it. Greatest talent ever!
He Quit for the most noble of reasons to spend more time with his wife and his family,and I salute him for it.
Its sad that he didn't get the recognition he so deserved. Pure country at his best.
Thanks lord almighty savior Jesus Christ I love you 💕 you all I have to our belongs to you lord forgive me I appreciate all my friends love y’all merry Christmas 🎄🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹🌹🎼❤️❤️🌎🌎🌎
I holy agree, he had that voice
He surely got it from me!!
@@lindaframe8790 huh
He still deserves sweet heart ❤ just a Cajun boyhood seen him live in 93
This is a beautiful song. Ricky's voice so soothing!!
No other has a voice that this man has. Never be another one!
When country music was country! What a voice, still one of my all time favorites so timeless!
2022 and Ricky Van Shelton's music is still the greatest... Real and pure Country Music
Yes love it ❤
...don't you have some hogs or something to feed?
Anyone listening in 2024 i know I am ❤❤
Great song!!!!
It's a classic for me@@mrblossom9622
I’m listening in 2024 🇨🇦. Great music!
He’s got fabulous voice and he sure is easy on the eyes
Deb Benoist. Yes, easy on the eyes a fabulous voice and extremely sexy too. 🎼 🎤 ❤️
Hello Deb how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there?
Eye candy!
Be still my heart!! So so handsome!
Agree. I've seen him 6 times in concert. Never sorry. Got hugs everytime and autographs . Would go see him again and again if he was still singing. My favorite singer and looker!!!!
I love this man! I don’t know why he quit singing. He is a gazillion times better than today’s so called country singers!
THOSE DRUGS WILL TAKE YOU DOWN, "SAD"
Can't blame him for wanting to spend more time with his family.
He went on to sing christian music.
@@stevelevinson5158 He retired from touring in 2006 so he could spend more time with his family. He hasn't released an album since 2000.
AMEN ALL THE CLASSIC SINGERS ARE BETTER THAN WHAT IS CALLED COUNTRY TODAY. I DONT LISTEN TO NOTHING BUT THE CLASSICS THE LEGEND'S OF COUNTRY MUSIC
Ricky Vans song "I'll leave this world loving you" has been going through my head all day. I had forgotten what good Country Music sounded like. Love this guy
he's the real deal in an unreal world
My gosh I am crazy about this voice!😍❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
He did such a good job on this song. Jack Greene would be proud. Still listening in 02/01/2020.
Linda Ferguson me too. My all time favorite by him. What happened to him?
Of all the versions of this song I have heard, he does the best one.
I just love Ricky's voice! Saw him once with my mom and grandma. We had to carry her in. Ricky was her favorite singer. It was an awesome night.
I just love these old songs! Thank God for you tube.
There is another video of him and Jack Greene singing this song together
I know he's older, as we all are. But he still makes me feel something I haven't felt in a long time. What a great voice.
Hello Donna how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there?
The actual form of a man who is the greatest of of his time!
Oh what a voice; I could listen to him sing for hours and not get tired of it.😻
Ricky Van Shelton's music speaks for itself. We love ❤ U Ricky!!!
Rwonderful voice, keep on keeping on
this is priceless fine country music we should cherish as it is being forgotten in this new age of trashy music
I saw him perform once, live, in the early 90’s. He sounds better live than on the radio!
We have all walked away from the one love that could have been a forever love. I am sure many tears have been cried for lost loves.
Amen.
I have not walked yet you will see my life means more to me than bullshit when its done its done you cant change the way i feel this hss been a year still same shit reality am doing thid to me when i dont have t to am done talking
YES MANY
AMEN
Only One & One went to HEAVEN

Probably my favorite song and I love all his songs
no gimmicks just talent.
You believe what he sings. Fab
Ain't that the truth, he's a very good country singer, he has my vote and respect.
I was so fortunate to see this man in person when he played a concert in 1989 and it was worth every penny. He was and still is a great performer and I absolutely loved his voice. I cried when he announced he was retiring from touring. I think he wrote a couple of children's books. Anyway he is happy on his acreage but I still miss his singing.
He chose his family over fame but damn he was good your missed Ricky🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
He probably got recognition 🤧 👏 that he doesn't even know about. He is soo 😍 🔥sweet 💓 💕 and so is his lovely wife. Extremely GREAT talent.
An underrated singer.He definitely needs recognition of his talents...Salute Sir and thanks for your beautiful voice and your beautiful music.
It's pretty blonde hair and blue eyes don't hurt either lol.
One of the best singers ever
No one has a voice like his! When he sings you feel it!! He’s the best!!
This song reminds of a friend that passed away a couple of years ago. We use to listen to this all the time. RIP my friend. Fly high
One of my favorites. Would love to hear more of his songs.
Miss you Ricky. Your voice is the best yet. Wish you would make another album.
I want this song played at my funeral!
This song hits so close to home. When Ricky sings it (after a couple of longnecks) it puts a lump in my throat just like someone is peeling onions nearby. Can't help it. Its as if when he is singing with such feeling its like he's reaching into your soul and squeezing your heartstrings. He is a wonderful singer and I wish he sang more.

Fabulous voice whether you heard him live or recorded...just wonderful.
One of the best, EVER!
My most favorite recorded song EVER! Great job singing it!!!!👏
