Amen to that, that old boy could sing. Something about those Mayberry days, I was to young to remember them the first time th hey aired but Im an avid rerun watcher. Things were so much simpler back then. In some ways I think we have lost something, our innocence, Things are just so much more complicated in some ways these days. I cant put my finger on it. I too have lost my parents to this world and even though I honestly know there Not gone, they are just as much alive now as they were here on earth. There just in the spirit world. I look forward to the day they meet me at the end of that tunnel that takes me there. Still brings tears to my eyes . but it will seem like a blink of an eye in time. Peace and love to all. warmest regards. Rest easy my friends we are all going to that road when its time

For your mommy to have tears in her eyes then that’s a beautiful thing

A beautiful song and the perfect man to sing it . Truly the voice of the blue collar people that built this country !!!

In the late 80’s I would talk to Jack Prince on a daily basis. He was one of the kindest individuals I have ever met. When I was a student at UNLV in vegas, he was retired but worked part near a friends place. He was an genuine gentleman.

Amen to that, brother...being from the South I'm proud of it. Jack Prince was an unbelievable talent in the folk ballad genre and will never be forgotten...

Andy Griffith’s skills as an acoustic guitar player are often overlooked. I wish that they had highlighted it more often in the show. Great picker!

I remember correctly (and that’s happening less and less often) in an episode of Diagnosis Murder guest star Andy Griffith picks up a banjo mandolin near the end of the episode and begins playing it. Quite an uncommon instrument.

Reason 1 million and 1 why this is the best show ever. The writing on this show was top notch. Chills

I have listened to over 60 artist with this song including Frank S and other but Jack Prince seems to nail it best. One of the great voices of his time. Andy Griffith picked some very talented folks for his show many of them still appearing across the nation as we speak

@terencedove5047

I would agree that Prince's version is the best; but my reasoning is that he didn't just sing it. He painted a picture, told a story. Griffith's very sensitive guitar picking was tailored to match that interpretation. And whether or not that was an audience of stand-ins for that scene, they were still drawn in by Prince's voice...

What a beautiful song! I still get misty eyed whenever I hear it as he REALLY put his heart into it!😊

best rendition ever, thanks Mr. Prince. My children's children will know of you. God bless you.

Absolutely beautiful! Jack Prince was a wonderfully talented singer. ❤️ My Love sings this for me, often.

Listening to the music, you can see it your minds eye that man standing and looking down that road. It is so good, also so sad.

Can't judge a book by it's cover. This clip proves that

I am glad I grew up during this time and am sorry my Grandchildren won't. Life was so simple and even though we were in a war people were civil and happy. You didn't know your neighbors politics and didn't care. Everyone went to church on Sunday and visited in the afternoon. Children played where they chose up until dark. Everyone knew their store keeper and butcher by name, your gas was pumped and your wind shield was cleaned all for the price of the gas you bought. School taught you the basics reading, writing, and math and their doors were never locked. Evening entertainment was sitting on the front porch enjoying the cool evening air listening to the whippoorwill singing in the distance.

This song brought tears to my eyes when I was a kid. Just found this song and the tears flow again!!!!

Love this song and Jack Prince is the best at singing it with his beautiful voice.

Perfect.. feeling, passion, soul, all in a beautiful voice with perfect tonality.

I Love this song, what a voice, I remember watching this when I was little and getting all chocked up, still do, amazing voice.....

Gives me chills,, what an extraordinary voice.

Andy Griffith shows his real side in this movie .

I've listened to this four times already.......magical.

I have this episode saved on my dvr. I love listening to them both. They were fantastic. As for the snobs, they were the absolute worst people. God bless Andy and Rafe .

I remember watching this (reruns) when I was young. My Mom always enjoyed when Jack Prince would sing on the show. She especially loved this song. I later added this song to my catalog of songs that I have sang for different events throughout the years. When Mom passed away a few years ago, I managed to sing this at her funeral. The special connection we had to it, made it so memorable.

Simply beautiful rendition of Look Down That Lonesome Road...Jack Prince's melodious singing voice could melt the hardest hearts...

EXCELLENT

Some song hit your heart and you never ever forget them. 3 such songs from this series! There is a Time, and Dooley the other two

Somehow I had never seen this episode before. All I can say is that this was an unexpected treat, a pure joy.

why does my jaw just drop when i hear this,,,,so many chilldhood memeories..and such a beautiful voice..from chicago but that dont mean a thing when it comes to beauty to the ears....WONDRERFUL! !!!

Best show ever was

Andy is showing off his guitar chops!! Have never heard such picking and riffing from him before (heard his trombone playing on Johnny Carson, very musical). An Andy of all trades.

This man has a voice from heaven.

One of my favorite clips from the show. He has an amazing voice.

His voice is so beautiful and calming.

John Trevathian Upchurch Jr. aka Jack Prince (January 19, 1920 - January 8, 1994). A Louisiana native, Prince was his mother's maiden name. During WWII he was stationed in France and performed there. He performed in night clubs, on Broadway and on TV in the 1950s. He worked with Andy Griffith in the Broadway production of Destry Rides Again. On Andy Griffith, he played essentially the same character under several different names, a farmer-moonshiner. As Rafe Hollister, Prince revealed his singing talents, and that propelled him to a successful career as a singer until his death in Las Vegas at age 73.

This scene is one of my favorite , stirs the soul . Makes you think eternity of the soul in heaven

IDK why but this song popped into my head today. Years and years (and years...) ago, my sister and I used to sing this as a two part harmony song. Those were the days.

I love the music in the End Griffith show i even tear up

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

For the life of me, I can't understand why he didn't record any albums. I would bought every single one.

Goosebumps every single time. What a beautiful voice.

Jack Prince has an awesome voice!

I always loved this and still to this day! What a voice!

me too man...cant help it the quality of his voice is just heart rending

I don't know how many times l seen Andy Griffith shows l can't get enough.

Only one complaint. This song isn't long enough. I can listen to this over and over.

Just wonderful. I have listened to this countless times.

I am going to have this song played at my memorial by Mr Jack Prince

I'm watching this tonight on Me-TV. I love that voice. I had to see if there was anything else who sang that I could listen to. I always liked him. If I could find a man like that to go out with I word. You can tell he's got a big heart. Teddy bear cuddle on the couch Snuggie man

One of my personal favorites… what a voice

Beautiful, every time I listen to it, it brings tears to my eyes.

Let me take this time to say The Andy Griffith show is my all-time favorite television show. It has been around more than 60 years and the humor still works because it doesn't involve ridicule, sexual innuendo and because not every line is a forced joke. And because who wouldn't want to live in Mayberry? "Aunt Bea the Crusader" is my favorite episode.

This is a song my dad used to sing. After he passed away, the first time I heard this again, I cried my eyes out because he sounds so much like my dad. It's been 30 years and I can finally watch it without crying. (usually) So beautiful.

An extremely talented man!

What a beautiful voice!

A gorgeous voice, a lovely song.

The combination of his wonderful, rich voice and his humble status on the show make this performance outstanding.
