I was sitting in a cafe on Jan 1,1953 in Gary Indiana eating breakfast when the news came over the cafe radio that Hank had died. That was real heartbreaking news as I loved Hank as thousands of others did. Nashville was full of great singers and musicians then and Hank was the greatest. 40's,50's and into the 60's had the best men and women singers that ever lived. Great country music ended when we lost these. Wish I could go back and see and hear Hank Williams and Hank Snow and Hank Thompson and Ernest Tubb and Bill Monroe and Patsy Cline and and....

Nearly 70 years after his death Hank still remains the best. No one has ever come close and I doubt anyone ever will. As great a performer as he was (and he remains country's greatest male vocalist), the real sadness is that his songwriting was stilled at 29. Considering that he probably wrote about half of the greatest country songs ever by that age, one can only dream about what could have come if he hadn't died so young.

While alive his disorganized drug and alcohol dominated life and hellacious marriage with a psycho[ath Miss Audrey and general philandering kept him pretty much on the outside of the business end of country music especially at the Grand Ole Opry and killed him quite young essentially due to a drug overdose. The viability of the songs he produced and edited is the lasting legacy. You can contrast Williams with Bill Monroe. Monroe continued the older tradition of playing roots music with an acoustic string band even though he borrowed the most advanced techniques, and played many traditional songs, blues pieces, 19th century sentimental songs, and new songs fashioned after them. Williams fashioned songs--many of the songs that are credited to Williams were written by other people but purchased sometimes for 5 or 10 bucks by Acuff-Rose publishers and refashioned--that pretty much matched the format and singer orientation that popular music moved into after WWII and produced a singer oriented music. It is no coincidence that a big part of his fame and success came from the way that pop singers like Tony Bennett and Dean Martin were able to make smash recordings of Williams songs like this.

Hank was at the top of his game. Musicians who are studying music in school, should be required to watch this. Simple but great. What happened to talent.

The first time I heard this song I was a little girl and it made me cry because I felt so sad for the man who sung it. I felt like his heart was broken.

What a treat. magical Hank Williams

Hank Williams’ lyrics are the tentpoles and pillars of every single word of lyrics ever written in the country genre in the 6 decades following his untimely passing. What you must understand is country music as we know it began here, with this man. The genre did not exist before he melded his prophetic prose together with old-timey blues & jazz of the 20s and 30s along with the music of Jimmie Rodgers. Hank Sr. is the Rosetta Stone of American music. He is more important to the American songbook than any singer that ever existed. The utter brilliance of his genius was in the masterful simplicity of his layered, complex lyrics, and the genius of his voice came from a lifetime of pain, loneliness and suffering which poured from his soul like the tablets down from Sinai to Moses himself.

Garth Brooks ,would not make pimple on Mr. Hank Williams' behind. Mr. Hank was the greatest of all country singers and song writers.

Not a particularly strong lover of country music..but I'm so happy to have discovered Hank. His music really transcends country...listen especially to Elvis Costello's version of this song!

That performance makes goosebumps and shivers go all over me. It's so wonderful to actually watch Hank in action.

Its a tragedy that there's so little footage of this man. What a songwriter. What a talent. And as far as his personal life was concerned... what a waste.

Not a waste, a tragedy......Hank was beyond talented, and he wasn't old enough to have history, yet he wrote so many, so fast.......too much too soon.

It is a tragedy and I wish it was different. In that era of 1949-55 there was no shortage of film or video cameras. Synchronized sound was the problem. It took big studios with audio engineers and the time, money and motivation to get someone like Hank on a soundstage. We are lucky to have these old kinescope copies of early television as primitive as it was- of Hank singing. If only I had a stargate or time machine.

The tragedy is that the man drank and drugged himself to death so that he did not live into the era of shows like this being televised and them being videotaped and syndicated and filmed, People talk about Williams but neglect that decisive limitation in his life came from his doing things with drugs and alcohol and also womanizing that most people would find out of order and self destructive. Those behaviors severely limited his acceptance or performance in the emerging Country Music industry especially as it became more and more centered around the Grand Ole Opry and other operations in Nashville, Yes what a waste

To write a song this good, your heart has to be hurt deeply, and stand back up and dig in for a better grip!

One of the most influential musicians in the history of American music, so talented, in his brief life it is amazing how many great songs he wrote and performed, songs that are timeless.

I had a neighbor in his 70's, talked just like Hank naturally, what a memory.

I'd give my left arm to turn back the years.........wishing I'd seen you Hank!!

thereddirtgirl1 Hamk Williams Sr was The Absolute Greatest of all time. Hank Williams Sr left too soon. Now everything he ever did was a top seller. He wrote many of his recordings. For such a very short lifetime as an adult, Hank Williams Sr wrote more songs, sang many himself. I'd venture to bet, he was "Covered by many Country Music Artists & Also, many Rock & Roll Artists& Pop Music artists covered Hanks Songs. I say, most ever of any one Song Writer/ Singer of all time. & The Covers went GOLD TOO.

"It's bought us quite a few beans and biscuits." Those were the late 40's-early 50's (my early childhood), Hank in "honky tonks" and on local TV. We're privileged to have these recordings.

Dancing two step with my grandmother to this in her living room as a child... I miss her so much. 💖

The greatest country song ever written.

What a soulful, soulful singer and great songwriter.

January 2023 and still love him,

What a CLASSIC.💯💯🎁🎁🌎🌎⭐⭐⛹️⛹️

Hank Williams Jr. Can't hold a candle to his Dad!
