Tompall and the Glaser Brothers Medley

  • The idea for this medley came back in the early 60's when the brothers were working a small club in Toronto. The people in the club were more interested in drinking than listening to music, and they were getting absolutely no response when they played their own songs. So Tompall decided to start playing every song he knew one after another with no break in between -- as they wouldn't know the difference. When they would come to a high part in the song that Jim knew Tompall couldn't hit, he would step in and sing it. They finished the songs that way, constantly trading off the microphone with Chuck coming in on the harmonies, and the crowd loved it. After that night, they worked up this medley and it has always been a crowd favorite.

    You gentlemen were amazing. Sadly missed in today’s music world.
    Rest in Peace, Tompall, Jim, and Chuck.

    Their harmony was the best and their talent was indisputable. How in the name of God can the Country Music Hall of Fame ignore them? They've got everyone else beat to blazes!!!

    Classic performance by the much missed Glaser Brothers doing their trademark switching from Tompall in the lower range to Jim for the high notes, back and forth with perfect timing. No other singers did their mid line switches. Glad Chuck recovered from his cerebral aneurysm to get back on stage. Blows away the goat vomit mislabeled country music that Nashville is inflicting on us nowadays.

On the video of their 'last performance' their feelings for each other was not so good, sad! I haven't known of them until 4 or 5 months ago and I'm makiing up for lost time. I love them and their voices!
