    About Tennessee Ernie Ford
    Born Ernest Jennings Ford on February 13th, 1919 in Bristol, Tennessee, Tennessee Ernie Ford has made an indelible impact on America and the world through his unparalleled accomplishments in radio, records and television.
    Throughout his legendary career spanning over 50 years, Ernie Ford's early successes as a radio personality led to his signing with Capitol Records in 1949. Through 1976, he released a total of eighty-three albums on the label--and literally scores of single records, including his classic version of Merle Travis' timeless anthem to the working man, "Sixteen Tons"...at the time of its release, the fastest selling single in Capitol's history.
    About The Ford Show
    On Thursday night, October 4th, 1956, NBC premiered The Ford Show Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford.
    As prime-time's # 1 half-hour variety show for five years, The Ford Show featured all the ingredients of the top variety shows of the day; Hollywood's greatest guest stars, top-of-the-line production, and terrific music. But one simple element separated it from all others...Ernie closed virtually every show with a hymn, a spiritual or a song of faith. For the time, it was a bold and powerful statement for a popular entertainer of Ford's stature to be making on live television, especially in the face of the initial objections from Madison Avenue and the network. But it was a statement that would become the trademark of his career, and in many ways, the mark of his life. It would earn him the distinction of almost single-handedly bringing inspirational music into the mainstream of American entertainment...an enduring legacy of the lasting impact that one man's expression of faith can have on millions of people.

    There are actually people who think that this was TEF's real singing voice. When he sang seriously his bass-baritone was one of the best ever and that includes operatic singers.

      He reminds me of Jim Nabors who played Gomer Pyle. Jim Nabors had a beautiful singing voice as well, but many people remember him for his Gomer Pyle voice.

    June and Ernie grew up less than a dozen miles from each other, near Bristol, Virginia. He was ten years older, and she probably heard him on KNOX radio from Knoxville, TN, when he first started out.

    You're misinterpreting what I said. I didn't mean that it wasn't Tennessee Ernie who was singing here. I meant that he wasn't using his "normal" singing voice. It certainly isn't the way he was encouraged to sing at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. He's hamming it up here which is fine; however some people, especially younger ones he may have only seen him on I Love Lucy reruns, don't realize what a superb serious singer he could be.
