    Dangggg, heard this great song probably a couple hundred times but this is the first time I've ever seen him perform this on video. Bad ass, cheers B.W.

    I've heard BW's 1973 original, then I heard Brooks and Dunn years later. While B&D do it justice and have great stage presence, BW Stevenson sings it so beautifully! Of course, people may disagree. Of course, people may be wrong. 😉🙂🤣

But he was an exceptional singer, songwriter and musician.It is really sad.He had so much more music to share with us.But of course life had other plans. Now all we have are thoughts of what could have been. R.I.P. Buckwheat!!!!:Your family, your friends and your fans all miss you!!!!😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏

    I love this! I just heard it on my Bluetooth for about the hundredth time within many years, but never really researched it...thought I did and thought Ronnie Dunn had written it. Great lyrics and his first few minutes are soooo good. Great voice. Maybe he did not have the right agent or team, but now nice to know where this song and who it comes from.

    I'm curious as to when this was performed? Daddy played with BW when they released this song. I remember as a tiny little guy riding on his shoulders. Seemed like a giant to me. Daddy used to go on about how BW was the best room mate on the road he ever had. He was a good guy. My whole family loved him. It sucks when people lose contact due to life taking them different directions. I am above average intelligence and not at all naive but I really thought the guys I loved as brothers when I was a kid would still be around when we grew up. I guess they did grow up. Maybe I didn't. This is my go to song when I need a spiritual pimp slap. Dad died a couple of years back. I hope he's out of his misery now. I'd like to think he and BW are seeing who can hit the highest note then the lowest in the same song. I remember them making my Chihuahua howel when they see who sounded the queerest. When there's no music playing and two guys that look like they should be moonshiners are squealing like a poofter who's faaabulous appletini just got spilled it ain't music.

    • @davidreynolds4684
      @davidreynolds4684 Год назад

      @@tRoy-vg5yj thanks. I figured this was prob not long before he passed away. Dad had sold his soul by then and was doing full on country music. His roots were r&b. Sam&Dave, Otis,BB etc. At least when I would turn up at a show he'd change the set list. It's cool to see someone easily slip into their groove when they have somewhat forced themselves to play music their heart really isn't into. Within a couple of stax tunes the crowd full of red necks are on tables dancing. The energy is contagious. Rip dad (Charlie) and BW
