Ernest Ashworth Dec. 15, 1928 - March 2, 2009 Clip from Country's Family Reunion Nashville. A must have for any real country music fan. www.cfrvideos.com
Lizzie Ashworth are you serious is it really your granddaddy,..I was in Nashville a few years ago a talked to a guy selling his house and I'm thinking it was your granddaddy maybe you can get back to me and let me know ok
Sorry I have took so long to post back to you. Mickey Gilly recorded "Closing Time", "Stand by Me" and "Room Full of Roses". T Graham Brown recorded "Wine into Water", "I Tell It Like It Use To Be" and "I wish I Could Hurt That Way Again. Hope this helped. Later
I think you misinterpret Vince's presence there - he was in regular attendance at these shows - though I never saw him perform on one. I think he was just there to show his respect for all those great entertainers. A few other current country folks showed up - I saw Hal Ketchum a couple of times and Brad Paisley. I really think they just wanted to hang out with the legends - and show their respect.
No problems I have a lot of these CFR videos, like Johnny Russell said in the very first one of these recorded back in 1997 that they grew up in the golden age of country music, bit like that George Jones song "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" because all of the country music from this era and these people was the very best of country music!
When I was a teenager, I used to sneak and listen to country music. Couldn't have my parents know I liked their music, too. They're in their 80s now; last week, I told them about listening to their records when they weren't home. I thought they'd never stop laughing.
Ernie took me under his wing in 2003..showed me the ropes...brought me to nashville to record with him...took me shopping with his wife Bettye...took me to his home..he was like a father for several years to me...had long talks about the business and our past and love of country music (traditional) Miss you Ernie/Bettye
Just look at all those folks singing along with Mr. Ernest Ashworth. They ALL know the words. Methinks that’s the sign of a quality song. Thank you for posting this video....Mac
I had the good fortune, and honor to record Ernie's last two albums at my studio and I played most of the instruments on those projects ... plus I got to know Ernie very well during that time as I took a shift as a DJ on one the radio stations he owned, and I played guitar with him on several live performances, including the Grand ole Opry. He really was a unique Jem of a man. They just don't make 'em like Ernie any more. Ernie, I miss ya my friend.
Wow, the things you must have seen and the stories you could tell. I admire and envy people such as you with the talent to play on records with the true Legends of country music.Just to be able to perform on the stage at The Grand Ole Opry speaks volumes of your own talents.Thank you for your contributions to real country music though sometimes not publicly applauded but always appreciated by true country music fans.

Earnie did the right thing. That’s old school marriage vows (for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, love honor & obey, etc.) . That makes him more of a man than this younger generation can brag about. I love this song. Number 1 most country played artist in Europe that’s magnificent. In the Alabama country music hall of fame also is great. Oh I’m quite sure he’s in the h.o.f. in Nashville Tennessee
Watching these videos gives you a brief look into yesterday and a chance, once more, to listen to those wonderful artists who have passed on. It's been said that a person dies twice - once when the last breath leaves his body and again when the last person who knew them dies. These talented performers were loved by one and all and will live forever.
@The Miss - Thanks. I think true philosophy comes with age after you've had years of experience and a real world to reflect on. I remember hearing these songs when they were still dancing around the charts.
This is great. My Mom used to sing this song all the time when I was just a kid. I recently recorded it myself. Stop by my channel sometime and check it out if you are so inclined.....Terry

Was an honor meeting, traveling, recording with and getting to really know the man Ernie Ashworth off the stage. What a loss to lose him and Betty both so close. They loved each other so much. I miss them Below is link to recording Ernie and I did in Nashville www.reverbnation.com/weshuntermusic/song/2945492-thats-allright-mama-with-ernie

One of the greatest country songs ever written. A John D Loudermilk masterpiece
It's weird seeing my grandaddy all over the internet. He passed away on my birthday.

Can someone please tell me who are the two people in the shot at 2:49????
I think they are Mickey Gilly and T Graham Brown.
Billy Glover Hey, thanks for that. Two I'm not familiar with at all. Did they record anything I might know?
Sorry I have took so long to post back to you. Mickey Gilly recorded "Closing Time", "Stand by Me" and "Room Full of Roses". T Graham Brown recorded "Wine into Water", "I Tell It Like It Use To Be" and "I wish I Could Hurt That Way Again. Hope this helped. Later
Billy Glover Hey, many thanks for your informative reply there Billy ~ I know those songs but I think recorded by other artists.
Vince gill should be fined for that stupid hat and ernest hasn't a note in his head absolutely rubbish
I'm sorry, as much as I like Vince Gill he doesn't belong amongst all those legends. He's out of class.
I think you misinterpret Vince's presence there - he was in regular attendance at these shows - though I never saw him perform on one. I think he was just there to show his respect for all those great entertainers. A few other current country folks showed up - I saw Hal Ketchum a couple of times and Brad Paisley. I really think they just wanted to hang out with the legends - and show their respect.
+Robert L he sure belongs there now don't he???? and he did here too!!! Vince has earned his way!!!
AMEN
AMEN!

I got to talk with Ernie on the phone one night. He was very friendly and said he was glad I remembered him. Sent me an 8 X10 pic shortly after that.
RIP Ernest. ! We still love you in Alabama you were one of us ! Ol Alabama Boy ! 🎤
What a great song, how can anyone serious not like this. Thanks for the memories mate. May God give you eternal rest.
A different world and time.
This is wonderful he was good as ever right up to the end. RIP Ernie we still miss you.
Hello ragen
the crap that passes for country music today is a sacrilege. this is real music that brings back the memories of my parents that i miss so much.
Agree ..
When I was a teenager, I used to sneak and listen to country music. Couldn't have my parents know I liked their music, too. They're in their 80s now; last week, I told them about listening to their records when they weren't home. I thought they'd never stop laughing.
Oh my gosh I love Ernie 😩💔 all of these wonderful legends 💔💔💔
Ernie took me under his wing in 2003..showed me the ropes...brought me to nashville to record with him...took me shopping with his wife Bettye...took me to his home..he was like a father for several years to me...had long talks about the business and our past and love of country music (traditional) Miss you Ernie/Bettye
Great!

Hello Dianna

Lord their like a bowl of gravy and with my love for real country music I'd be a biscuit sopping it up.
Outstanding job. It saddens me to see all of these legends crossing over to the Promised Land. RIP Ernie.
Johnny Tillison also had a great hit with this song on the RnR charts. RIP Ernie. Hope you found Heaven. LOL Lots of stories about you being lost.

People all over the world love. Country music! It tells a story!
Lordy I'm glad I found this. I hear his song with my heart, and it's a good feeling heart I have right now.
Good guy country singers never die! They just go to a higher place and sing to a larger audience and friends. Thanks for the song, Jerry and Ernest.

Vince was there to show he still was real country and not a sell out like all of the younger artists are.
u are correct. 98% of them DO $ELL OUT
Wes Hunter Martha.
Vince ain't young.
Wasn't Ernest just adorable? I could watch him and listen to him sing this lovely little song all day long. Love him.
I miss Ernie & Bettye . Great people .
