Simply one of the best singing voices ever! A timeless treasure, an extraordinary example of well honed talent, which I most heartedly applaud. ThxU Tex.

probably one of the most iconic movie tracks of all time.

And unlike Jaws, this has dialogue.🤠

I grew up on Westerns and when I heard High Noon and Gunsmoke by Tex Ritter I was so proud to be an American and a Texan. I know the spirits of these greats never leave us and they will be back again.

Nailed it. The best. Iconic.

The soft fading in and out of this tune throughout the movie helped express the loneliness and solitude of a man facing and unknown future.

Pure magnificent live performance.

High Noon and this song share the same greatness in the American art.

You were alive in 1886?

Now THAT was a performance and {MORE}. To me, this remains a True* from the heart... 《Tex💛Ritter》 sentimentality sung! 💚*

The greatest western theme song from the greatest western movie ever made, High Noon. This great performer was actually the father of John Ritter of "Three's A Company" fame. RIP.

An all time great song from the movie "HIGH NOON".

Still sounds good after all these years

UK - I was lucky enough to meet him when I was an inpatient in a children's hospital many many years ago. I was only about 5 years old but I remember him well. He gave me a signed photograph of himself that I still have. He was a wonderful man.

Loved him as singer and actor

I had the great pleasure of spending about 45 minutes in a booth at a coffee shop with Tex Ritter and Waylon Jennings in 1968. Waylon was griping about RCA and the songs they were making him cut and Tex was telling him that he should be happy now that he's on the national charts and making money. It is one of my most cherished memories

I met both multiple times, Waylon because I provided Security for a lot of his Appearances in and around Houston Texas .. . Yes Ritter because Him and Many others were part of HFD Benefit Programs My Uncle brought to Houston to raise money for the Fore Department from the 50ies on Until his Death !! ! And a special personal friend B. J. Thomas who I met and became friends with thru a former Member of his Band .. . I went to School with David at Sam Houston High School !! !

Amo esta música!❤

This song caught me off guard!!! Randomly heard it and started crying lol

Tex,Ritter was one of my favorite singers when I was a kid coming up in,Jackson, Miss. He will never be forgotten. Joe,G Bowen Miss Gulf Coast

I still play a Tex Ritter CD every single night when I got to sleep. I got to meet him once and have his autograph...... a great man........ I won't ever forget him.

Wonderful song for a marvelous movie.

I will never forget the time when I was a little boy in the 60's.....Tex was the Star Singer at a Grocery Store Opening in Mesquite, Texas......

Lucky me!!! As heros go, off screen what were they like? Better than their screen image. Tex Ritter and me, for example, he put his arm around my shoulder and we talked father-to-father. What an honor. What a "nice" human being. I was in radio at the time and acting as a host to a bunch of very big stars. I liked them all, but none.. none.. came close to the man who you are watching here. The very nicest, un-asumming (spl) man I have ever met.

My Dad, '29 - '94 used to sing out loud when in great mood, "do not forsake me oh my Darling"..just that part, not the whole song. I never knew what song it was he was or by whom. Than I found out after I started to be a big fan of classic country. I love it and purchased it along with a few other Tex Ritter tunes off of itunes.

only one TEX RITTER,GOD REST HIS SOUL

Great Tex Ritter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the movie, the film score for "High Noon," it is Tex Ritter. Frankie Laine also did a terrific version of the song.

Just wonderful. What a voice!

What a classic tune by one of America’s greatest country’s singers.

was always great in cowboy westerns, remember going movies and watching , Tex Ritter

That guitar is a beauty.

Wow thats about the best clip from Dick Cavett I can remember! I really liked that performance, very dramatic and close to the end of Tex's life too, really powerful, thanks for posting! Thanks Tex!

One of Best Movies ever

So so great love it & DC.

Tex Ritter was born in Panola county Texas in the Murvaul community which no longer exists but a nearby lake was named after it. I was born in Shelby county just a few miles down the county road. I got to see and hear him perform and talk to him while at college in Nashville in late 1972 just a little over a year before his death. It was a small but intimate gathering in the Law School auditorium.

AWESOME, decades afterwards...LOVE IT!!!!!

Just watched HighNoon, reminds me of theGolden time of Hollywood.

I have commented on this song by the great Tex many times , It is great

Watching Three's Company got me here, because of his son John.. Glad i did.. This was very cool to watch..

Beautiful guitar, Fender not really known for acoustics, love to have that one

Love seein his face and name painted on that building in Tenaha, Texas.

“Cowboy ethics”” I’m 85 years old and I still remember the lessons taught in movies like “High Noon “….duty, honor..courage…sadly Hollywood doesn’t value that anymore

The perfect voice for this song. ❤

a good stage act and a beautiful white caddy convertible...

Eines meiner Lieblingslieder!

"Just lost his primary run for senate in Tennessee." I saw him just before this when he dined at the Holiday Inn where I worked part time while in high school. He was in town for one of those package shows Nashville put on the road back then. Part of the package was the late Loretta Lynn, who I also got a chance to see. She was coming out of her room at the HI escorted by 2 auxiliary policemen, when I just happened to be in the area. I was immediately mesmerized by how beautiful she was in person and stood there staring at her like a sick calf. The policemen escorted her to a big gold Cadillac with "Tex Ritter for Senate" bumper stickers all over it. R.I.P. to both and thanks for the lifelong memories.

Comprei um CD e foi uma grande emoção quando ouvi esta música, que voz maravilhosa e até hoje coloco para tocar varias vezes.

I'm a metal head, and I respect him big time. Legend.

Makes me shed a little tear ya all

Tex still had. Bless him

Awesome... he could bring it

John Ritter's father. Loved his Three's Company. The funniest series ever. Specially jack tripper :) John died in the same year his mother dorothy Faye died, 2003. John, wherever you are smile, because you're loved.

Beautiful

this version blends the films original lyrics of: "The noonday train will bring frank miller If I'm a man, I must be brave And I must face that deadly killer" with the re-written for release by Frankie Laine version: "I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave And I must face a man who hates me" I guess Tex has sung both versions so many times they blend into one!

Thank you.

Grande texano.

Though there is been many great versions of this song Ritter's version is the one and only. Too bad that his original has been overshadowed with Frankie Laine's recording for instance.

Classic

history so cool
