*About Ronnie Milsap*
Born nearly completely blind, he became one of the most successful and versatile country "crossover" singers of his time, appealing to both country and pop music markets with hit songs that incorporated pop, R&B, and rock and roll elements. His biggest crossover hits include "It Was Almost Like a Song", "Smoky Mountain Rain", "(There's) No Gettin' Over Me", "I Wouldn't Have Missed It for the World", "Any Day Now", and "Stranger in My House".
Milsap was sent to Raleigh's Governor Morehead School for the Blind, and that is where he discovered a deep love of music, cultivated by close listening to radio broadcasts. Encouraged by his teachers, Milsap began studying classical music, and while he learned several instruments, he gravitated toward piano. Already a fan of country and R&B, he became obsessed with rock & roll once it hit in 1965. Soon, he was playing in a teenage rock & roll outfit called the Apparitions, which kept him busy until he headed to Georgia's Young Harris College on a full scholarship.
Music kept calling and he did not complete his pre-law program. He continued playing clubs and ended up joined a touring band. Then he signed with Scepter Records who put out “Never Had It So Good” which became Milsap’s first charting hit reaching 19 on Billboard’s R&B chart.
Milsap’s story continues as he is credited with six Grammy Awards and 35 number-one country hits, third to George Strait and Conway Twitty. He was selected for induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014.

This song has Soul. AWESOME
When I was a little kid I never really understood how my father would listen to these older songs . Now that I am grown I find myself strangely addicted to all the old songs my father liked. This one has always stuck with me as well as Stranger In my house by Ronnie
I’ve never related more to a comment😂
You have daddy issues
Cause it’s good old school music. When the singer and musicians had real skills and performed with a purpose!
Always liked this guy. Skills, talent, and realness.
I agree 100%
I have been a truck driver for 25 years now with no end in sight. I guess i am a "Prisoner of the Highway"
You and me both brother.
I drove for 48 years. Said by to the highway 3+ years ago. With whats out there now I don't miss it.
@@gac3121955 ,good job Sir. Thank you
Your carrying so much precious cargo. Thank you, truckers do so much and sacrifice so much.
Good jop
They call me the mighty rooster out on the road. Prisoner of the highway! Been truckin' since I was 8 and I can feel my body shake as I listen to this gnarly tune. Keep on truckin brothers, haul that mighty freight! 10-4 god bless
8?
I Lost my best friend Mr NC larue .he started driving young also . my hats off to you. It's a different seen today . you my friend are a rare dying breed
@@AdrianSmith-lb4ro A lot of the drivers today do not know what a "hot mile" is. And all of us "old school" truckers and retired truckers have probably logged more "hot miles" than they ever driven. IT is totally different out there today than it was 10 to 20 yrs ago.
@@gavinfredrichs9057 yeah it's a different kind of person that trucks today.everthing by book down to the letter..outlaws are a dying breed
😂 good to go ❤
27 years here still going. If you know you know.
I'm 64 yrs old and still behind the wheel jamming them gears!
Been out here 25 years
almost 4 years now, im new , its alot of a harder job than people think
Working on 25th
As a truck driver this song hits deep only I didn’t enjoy much as Ron 😂😂 god speed my man! I use to bump this on my boombox at the truck stops and everybody looked at me crazy 6,2 Mexican covered in tattoos bumpin good ol Ronnie in west Texas
No shame he’s a damn good artist
Real scary thing is Ronny is blind. Move over 10-4
I been playing this song for my friends who been trunk drivers for a few years now. I played it the other day for them.
Best song ever listening to a tape in a GMC General in 1992 😅
My father drove over the road when we was growing up. We lost him in July. This song reminds me of him so much 😢
Sorry for your loss, please keep reflecting on the good and have happy days ahead
So sorry 😪
So sorry I’m sure you have great memories with him cruising the road listening to great music 🙏🏻
My grandfather drove otr for almost 50 years. Retired then passed away 10 years after. He had driven multi millions of miles with only 1 accident all those years.
Iam 60 and discovered Ronnie in my senior year in high school. Stranger in my house was relevant too 1982 loved that song. Later on in my life I realized that there was a stranger in my house that I'm dealing with at this moment sucks but I'll get through it. I crank This song in traffic eventually I get home lol.
One of the best truckin songs.
You truly are a legend in your time, Ronnie. I love you Brother & may GOD Bless you!!!!!!
This is for my best friend Rodney Walton who drives the 18 wheeler for a living be safe Rod🙏♥️
Growing up I never had time with my father he was a old timer trucker and one of the finest and proudest trucker in America 🇺🇸!!!! And now I’m a trucker and now I see why my father wasn’t home all the time since I’m doing the same thing now
Me too. Out here since '98 , I don't even like going home anymore. There's nothing back there. I love trucking. I live a life that most men can only dream about !
Your father probibly banged thousanda of men around the united 🇺🇲, glod bless his weiner blowing skills
Rhythm section(esp bass & drums) DRIVE these songs.....grabbed my ear a couple of years back.
A great song to play while your on the Hwy, Memories for me...~Good one's.. Thanks Ronnie..🌹
I drove over the road for 41 years. Retired in 2010. Yes I was a prisoner of the highway.
My grandfather retired 2010 after being otr for 51 years. He was truly a prisoner of the highway. Started out with red ball
For a 28 year veteran driver, this song is so true
Yes it is. The younger generation don't know how it was doing a load like that. Probably 13 hrs to do 800 to 1,000 mile run. As soon as pulled on the interstate it was hammer down
@@davidalexander828 Sounds like a damn fun time. I pulled a 32 hours straight New Kensington Pennsylvania to Phoenix Arizona drive, it was only in a manual car but I loved it and the freedom i felt and the views that I saw, the world was different through that lense, and it was a truly beautiful world.
@maoduida387 Sometimes I loved it and other times I didn't. But I did what had to be done like every other old school trucker has done. And your trip sounds like it was awesome.
@@davidalexander828 I've had a job like that too, it was way more downs than it was ups and yet I still miss it, I hope you can look back on your time in an 18 wheeler with some level of fondness for it, they always seemed like a whole lotta fun to roll around in, through thick and thin.
Aman driver
Not sure how I made it this long without hearing some of these. Heard Stranger in my house a few weeks back, and it must've really planted a seed.
I saw Ronnie milsap back in 82? He said that the band let him drive the bus into town LOL great show! I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made, driven the back road so I wouldn't get weighed, if I had it all to do over on the road I would have stayed. I've hard steel from Bethlehem to Birmingham, I'm been Coast to Coast border to border and beyond. I've left Little Rock Arkansas drop a lot of strawberries in Connecticut pick up a load in the warehouse in Jersey and be back in 36 hours by myself no road dope just coffee pissing the jugs out the window. I've made two drops in East LA go to Oxnard pick up a little bananas drive straight back home,, the pillow didn't get any head, lol
Kinda scary considering he couldn’t see very well 😂
❤good to go ❤❤
I Drove For 30 Years. Gave The Road Up in 2021 When I Lost My Angel and My Rock That Kelp Me Rolling.😢
😢
This song needs to be longer
This song has absolutely no right to go so hard. None.
Hard as a rock
Legendary song! 🇺🇸
So great. Love Ronnie!
It wanted my heart, I gave it my soul 🤙🏼
Love me some R.M., his music never gets old, no matter how many times I listen. "Music" today just doesn't compare! 👍🏻
Ronnie is the master!
Such an awesome song!
This song is awesome ❤
Jesus christ this is good!
My brother in law sent me this song tonight he listens to this song when he's out plowin for the state of Maine.
Brilliantly song best of the best Ronnie Millsaps
Yo the real talk is that this man learned how to make his voice do that
J'avais 22 ans et je découvrais les States avec ce titre en boucle sur l'autoradio !
When I was at the glebe senior center I used to play that song on the radio as it was a cassette tape back in 2004.
This song gets stuck in my head
I just lovecyour voice and love this song.
Absolutely my favorite song. Diesel power baby!! My dad is a trucker. And multiple times has he hauled steel, tobacco, tires, large truck tires, and has driven a tractor trailer and dump trucks for over 37 years. and this song just describes what he does so well.
I ride in the dump truck with him every weekend and it is the most funnest thing I’ve ever experienced.
This song was played for my brother on his final resting ground... Julian Scott Gutierrez BIG CHIEF, he was a true dedicated trucker...
He has so many good songs, that make my memories flow.
Legend
Damn, What A Singer
Legends never Die!!!
I love this song
Love this song!!! It is so catchy!
Never drove an 18 wheeler but man does this song remind of those long drives from Carolina to Miami in the 26 foot box truck
Ghey
This song is how I lived my last 33 years on the road coast to coast and from fl to Maine to Washington St to the Mexican border.the road makes u old fast I know guys in the 50. S look ,,80

You can disagree with a style or type of music, but you Don't have to be insulting about it. "Country Bumpkin"? Ok not your cup of tea, I get it.
Wd
🎉❤😎 😅 If ya a PRISONER OF THE HIGHWAY, then maybe that's why there's a STRANGER IN MY (your) HOUSE 😅
That song is up next for me on RUclips playing @Random.

😂
Great song by a GREAT ARTIST!!
I’m a rapper turnt sanga. Why do these country bumpkins make songs about diesels cruising highways? Do they talk to their bus drivers on tour? 😂😂😂😂 I can’t see Ronnie milsap driving for 6 days straight without taking a shower.
That "country bumpkin" made millions and entertained millions with his talents. Funny, nobody I know has ever heard of you. Millions of people have heard of Ronnie Millsap and have paid him for his skills. Look up his personal and work history. He is a talented musician, singer and song writer. A good artists feels whatever they are singing about. By the time he wrote this song he was living on a tour bus travelling the country. I think he did pretty good for a blind orphan. What have you accomplished with what God has blessed you with? Do you bad mouth Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles? They sing about things they have never seen.
@@michaelsutton5695 your mom has hear of me 🤣🤣🤣
@@michaelsutton5695 Difference between rappers and Country folk. These lyrics are deeper than his soul
If he drove a truck for a living he would understand.
He's blind, dummy....explain to us all how he's gonna drive anything? (directed to Milkktitz Chan)
Roll on Ronnie!
