To add to a quick post. George Strait holds the record for most number one hits on Billboard’s country chart. He enlisted (not drafted) as an infantryman in 1972 during the Vietnam war. He’s on a very short list of inspirations with Georg Jones and Conway Twitty for almost all male country artists. He really brought about a return to traditional country music, and very much deserves the title of King of Country. So much good music. Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind, The Chair, The Fireman. Keep digging. It’s a deep hole!
King George. Dive deep into his music. I cross my heart, check yes or no, troubadour, to many to list. He never sang out of his range and still sounds the same today as when he started. He is a true country singer. He got discharged with today's country music and retired because like he said today's country is rock not country music. God bless you George Strait thank you for all the wonderful music.
@@kenp.9762 Alan's voice is better, and he writes many of his own songs. Can't beat that. (George wrote a few songs, but not his best ones -- most were written by Dean Dillon). The other thing I would point out is that Alan Jackson's songs have held up better over time. George's songs were popular at the time they came out, but most of them have fallen off the radar of popular consciousness.
OMG really? Why can't George Strait and Alan Jackson both be great? Why does one have to be better? They both can sang, they both have lots of hits etc... there's many great artists past and present, let's enjoy them all. I do love some George Strait though.
“ain’t rich but lord I’m free “ hits hard everytime. He’s king because everytime music execs tried to turn country into pop, he would put out our country!
George Strait has been singing since 1981, he has the most number one songs in country. He's a true cowboy with an awesome voice. He is the real deal when it comes to country music and no one else comes close, why he is the King of Country!
You'd really like many of his songs, such as "Check Yes or No", "The Chair", "Baby's Gotten Good at Goodbye", "Troubador", "Write This Down", "All my Exes Live in Texas", "I cross my heart" among many others... also there are some duets that are quite good, like the one he did with Alan Jackson called "Designated Drinker"...
Plus some real classic country sounding titles… “Nobody in his right mind would have left her”, “Blue Clear Sky”, “Ocean Front Property in Arizona”, “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind”, She’ll Leave You With a Smile”, “The Cowboy Rides Away”…
@@jeffferguson522 ...yes I wish they would listen to "check Yes or No"....they have little kids too so I think they would really like that song...its my favorite
In addition to George Strait's amazing career, I am also impressed with him as a person. He has been married to his wife, Norma for over 50 years and has never generated bad or unfavorable publicity regarding his personal life. A class act all the way.
I believe he is a true gentleman! When I was in high school my friend was fighting leukemia her dad a well known team roper and George Strait met him several times. When he heard my friend was in the hospital fighting he sent her yellow roses and when they were coming in the door he was calling her hospital room. I’ve always admired and will never forget that three 14 year old girls were in shock and her mom was too we all cried.
George Strait is a real cowboy. He actually lived the rodeo life which is what many of his songs are about. George Strait is an iconic country legend! He has released 44 albums total, 11 of which are compilation albums. He has had 60 number-one hits in his 33-year career. He is like a fine wine and gets better year after year. This is not a rabbit hole to gently ease yourself into, this is a rabbit hole you run to diving in headfirst!
That fiddle gives me chills EVERYTIME! George is The King. He is my FAVORITE male country singer. You CANNOT go wrong with any of his songs. Just react to every song from his 50 Number Ones double CD. You won't regret it!
George Strait is the real deal! He has a deep catalog of music. And Amber, you mentioned liking Rodeos. Well George Strait has performed at the Houston Rodeo 31 times in 4 decades. And he closed out this year's rodeo with a 2 hour set. There was over 70,000 in attendance.
It’s not just his voice that makes him the King of country, it’s the number of hits he’s had, his look (damn nice to look at), and most importantly the genuine niceness of the man!
This man has had 60 #1 hits. 60...! The first song I heard by him was "The Chair" ad to this day it is still one of my favorites. His top ten would be #1 "All My Ex's Live in Texas", #2 "Carrying Your Love With Me", #3 "Check Yes or No", #4 "The Chair", #5 "I Cross My Heart", #6 Ocean Front Property", #7 "Love Without End, Amen", #8 "Heartland", #9 "Blue Clear Sky", #10 "Write This Down. That's a good start down the rabbit hole!!
"Amariilo by Morning is a country song written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser. Stafford recorded the in 1973. George Strait's cover was a major hit in 1983. My favorite George Strait song is All my Ex's live in Texas. "Amarillo by Morning
George Strait is awesome! You have a huge amount of songs to choose from. I Cross My Heart, Oceanfront Property, All My Exes live in Texas, you look so good in love, Heartland, Baby Blue, Love without end Amen and the list goes on.
I would never say George Strait is king of country. I'm old school and George Jones is my heart, but I have to admit when GS sings "You Look So Good in Love" I melt.... :)
Personal preference for me the songs that I always liked of The Possum was: He stopped loving her today, the tour, who's gonna fill their shoes. I would have to go through George Strait entire catalog to find one that I didn't like/love.
Yes, re. "You Look so Good in Love," if Amber isn't teary-eyed by the middle of that one, I'll eat my Hat. I get chills just hearing it in my head again. And that unforgettable opening line! (Nobody type it please. keep it a fresh surprise.)
Well technically george strait is king of Country with 60 number one songs even george Jones never hit 60 number one songs tho and george strait still going strong to💯
George Straits the Man! He's a true country crooner. Also, check him out in the movie "Pure Country". You'll love it, he plays the lead of a country singer and also wrote the soundtrack. It's fire!🔥
He has the most country #1 hits. Go down the list. He is that good. George is really credited for saving country music. The 70s saw a country music scene that was crossing over and really was going towards pop. George brought back a classical sound to country. Try out : Does Ft Worth Ever Cross Your Mind, All My Exes Live in Texas, Baby Blue, Ocean Front Property, It Ain't Cool, The Chair, You Look So Good In Love, Marina Del Rey, Heartland, Adalida, and Love Without End Amen to start with.
Watch the movie “Pure Country”!!! George Strait actually acted in this and the way it ends is exactly the way George Strait really is!!! PURE COUNTRY!!!!!
I've had the priviledge of seeing George in concert a number of times and, as a media member (radio), have actually been backstage and met the man. Not only is he pretty much just a regular guy and very personable, he doesn't put on a big 'show' on stage. He's just himself, gets up and plays the songs. Some artists are just able to interpret a vocal in a way that reaches people. George is one of the best at this, and I believe that is his greatest appeal. When he first came on the scene in the early 80s, his sound was kind of revolutionary. Country had gone really 'pop' sounding, which is fine, but George (and a few others) brought a more traditional country sound back to the forefront. He then proceeded to chart hit after hit after hit eventually earning the title "King of Country." According to Wikipedia, "Strait currently holds the record for most number one songs on all charts by an artist in any genre of music." He outta be King of something...lol. Thanks for the reaction, guys. ;-)
George Strait handsome talented great singer songwriter musician incredible loved him since the early 80’s. You guys need to react to his 1992 movie Pure Country great story and he was so good in it
I have heard so many great songs from George Strait. Some great choices would be "Write this Down," "Check Yes or No," "Ocean Front Property," "I'm Carrying Your Love with Me," "I Cross My Heart," "Every Little Honky Tonk Bar," and so many more. Choose anyone you want or a song I forgot to mention. There are just too many for me to make a short list.
He is the G.O.A.T. of country. "Check Yes Or No" "Run" or "I Cross My Heart" from his awesome soundtrack and movie "Pure Country" (yes he acts the lead). Awesome reaction guys.
This song has one of the most recognizable fiddle strains. It is so hard to find a favorite of his. "The Chair", "Troubadour", ""I Cross My Heart", "All My Exes (Live in Texas)"...I could go on and on and on. All of 'em a true story-tellin' country!
You mentioned “Exes”. Great memory for me. The first time I met my future sister-in-law, we were kidding around about “all my sisters live in Texas” because they lived in Missouri and us 4 half-sisters lived in Texas. When we went to their wedding, she pulled all of us onto the dance floor to sing along to the song. We were all laughing so hard by the end.
My dad passed away October 2021 from Covid. This was one of his favorite songs. He spent a good part of his younger days as rodeo clown. Every time I hear this, I think of him!
Amarillo in this context is his next rodeo. Take the time to watch his live "The Cowboy Rides Away" concert. See who shows up, you'll understand why he's the king of country. The duet of "How About Them Cowgirls" with Miranda Lambert is sublime.
My favorite George Strait song is "I Cross My Heart". It was written by Steve Dorff for the movie "Pure Country". George Strait had the lead role in the movie as the character "Dusty Wyatt Chandler". The entire contents of the movie lead up to the creation of this song that is unveiled and performed by George Strait at the end of the movie. It's a good little movie you may want to watch at some point in the future. But, definitely check out "I Cross My Heart". Another huge hit was "All My Exes Live in Texas". But, George Strait has dozens of #1 hits to choose from. He is an iconic legend in Country Music.
George Strait once came to a party known as "Spring has Sprung". I was about 10. He played with Jimmie Vaughan and his (you might know who) his brother Stevie. I wish I had understood the greatness that I was able to experience. My dad RIP played harmonica with them. Thanks for the memories, and the appreciation of classic music.
Back in the 80's, I wanted to take my husband to a George Strait concert ,for our anniversary. I couldn't buy the ticket until payday ,and I was worried it would be sold out by then. I called to get the tickets, and the lady said that it was pretty full, but we would be sitting to the side, and a little bit behind him. But she said he knew people would be sitting there, so he would be turning around. Then she laughed, and said... besides you're going to get to see the best side of George lol He is famous for his Wranglers lol He is one of the greats in country. He is also in the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
All my Exes... I love that one, too. In the movie, Roadhouse, Sam Elliott dances with a girl to that song on the juke just singing along. Sam Elliott has the sexiest voice of anyone. (.outside of my husband). My husband wins because it's my ear he sings into. Roadhouse stars Patrick Swayze and features Jeff Healey playing guitar. That's a recommendation and a plea from an old OLD hippie. You ask how old? yesterday was our 45th anniversary, and I was a month shy of 27 on my wedding day.
"Love Without End, Amen" is a must. "Carrying Your Love With Me" is a great one. "Check Yes or No" and "All My Exes Live in Texas" are fun songs you should check out.
You can’t really go wrong with King George. My favorites are “Troubadour” and “I Can Still Make Cheyenne.” Oh wait…”Marina Del Rey” and “Run” too. “The Chair” is great…sigh.
This is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking songs out there. You might also want to listen to Kathy Mattea’s “Where Have You Been?”. No matter how many times I hear that song, I always burst into tears.
George Strait has more than 50+ NUMBER 1's! He's known as King George for very good reason! He can do ballads, funny, romantic, foot stompin' and so much more like no other country singer these days. Some of my absolute favorites by him are: Adalida, The Chair, Write This Down, The Fireman, I Just Wanna Dance With You, Don't Make Me Come Over There and Love You and many many many more. Not to mention he has just about the sexiest smile.... Just sayin'.
My faves by George are "The Chair" and for sentimental reasons, "I Just Want To Dance With You". Sentimental to me is because it was written by John Prine and the royalties from George's single, that went number 1, helped pay for John to have surgery for throat cancer.
The song was actually wrote by Aaron Barker. The song wasn't written by George. It's not about his daughter, Jenifer. However, it is one of my favorite songs sung by George.
You should him sing "Check Yes Or No" or "Baby Blue". He said in this song, "I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate, and I hope that judge ain't blind." A rider has to stay on the bull for eight seconds to get a score, or they get nothing.
I always loved "All my Ex's Live in Texas" It's a fun country song. Mel Tillis had a horrible studdering problem BUT he didn't studder when he sang, it was amazing. As he got older he sorta sang talked so he wouldn't studder but he would go on TALK shows & everyone laughed at him but I didn't because I Studdard TERRBLELY & had to go to speech therapy as a 4yr old & it helped me! Marty Robbins Hawaiian Wedding Song is beautiful, Ray Price-take the ribbon from ur hair, Willie Nelson & julio Iglasias- To all the girls I loved before. These are a few from my parents albums they owned & I grew up hearing them everyday. 😍🤠💚🙏👏 You definitely have to watch Willie in his Movie that was sort of autobiographical called Honeysuckle Rose with Diane Cannon as his wife! It's country but has a lot of comedy in it.
He got even more famous after his movie, "Pure Country" was released in 1992. I loved the movie because it had a really great story with an amazing romantic ending but even more because the story was backed by a great soundtrack of the music that he performs in the film. The most famous song from the film I know that you both will love (especially Amber) is, "I cross my Heart"
Cross my Heart is an absolute favorite of mine. It was played during the wedding when my husband and I were married. It has always been a special song to me.
His 13 yr old daughter died in a car accident over 35 yrs ago.. he wrote "Baby Blue" about her. It's a very simple song, but I tear up every time. I'd say he's one of the best country singers.. every song is "pure Country". So if you're up to it try to listen to Baby Blue.
I graduated high school with the guy driving the car that killed her. They left a graduation party and the car flipped over. She wasnt wearing her seatbelt and car landed on her. George lived here for several years. My moms cousin babysat for jennifer n george jr. We met George grocery shopping here at the local Krogers in 1983.
*George Strait - "Nobody in his right mind would've left her" is a must. There's so many great George Strait songs that I would literally just be listing them one after the other. "Check yes or no" is another I think you 2 would really like.*
Next for George Strait, check out "The Chair" "Check Yes or No" "I Cross My Heart" and "You Look So Good In Love". For a bit of fun, you will not want to miss "All My Ex's Live In Texas" and "Ocean Front Property".
I would venture a guess to say "I CROSS MY HEART" will bring Amber to tears; seems to me the sincerity of the song, especially the official video with the scenes from the movie Pure Country will fill her with those happy tears (maybe Jay too!!!). Even though it was a 90's movie, maybe Pure Country, which stars George Strait, would make for a good follow up movie reaction. My apologies as I'm sure this has already been suggested, I wasn't able to read very many comments tonight!
Written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser and recorded in 1973. A big hit for George Strait in 1983 and played at all his concerts since as I recall. Most folks aren't aware that George didn't write the song but covered it.
Yes, finally!!!! George Strait IS the King of Country! He's got a huge catalog to listen through. He was my mom's fave singer so I got to accompany her to about 6 of his concerts. Thank you for reacting to this!!
When I was sixteen years old my best friend and I found out this new artist was coming to a local honky tonk in our town. We begged our moms to take us because we were too young to get in. They agreed and we got to see George Strait at a place called Circle W in Seminole, Oklahoma in 1982. It was so cool to watch him over the years become the king of country and knowing we got to see him before he became famous. BTW....he did sing Amarillo by Morning!!
One of my favorite of his songs is "I saw God today". It is so beautiful. Troubadour is a more recent song and I love it. The song "I cross my heart" is so romantic and could easily be a first dance at a wedding. "The Chair" is fantastic. There are no bad George Strait songs!
Y'all finally got to country's KING GEORGE! This is one of his earliest hits, there are so many songs in his catalog! He's a real one, as a country musician and as a human being, leads a pretty private life in his ranch. One of the last of the old true troubadours!
George Strait is the KIng of Country because of the breadth of his music, the lifestyle he led, and the content of his music. To many country fans character matters.
My favorite George Strait songs are "The Chair" and Check Yes or No" Alan Jackson is great too..I love his song "Don't rock the Jukebox" I think you love those, they are fun and great to listen to. Vince Gill is another wonderful singer, I love his song "Liza Jane" Thanks for all the joy and smiles you bring to us here, too! :)
I like George Strait's understated (for this day and age) approach to his music and his appearance, kind of clean, simple, classic. His voice is so smooth. I'm not into comparing vocalists. They all have strengths and bring something special. That said, he's one of my favorites. Thank you for reacting to this cowboy standard.
YESSSSS!!!! So glad you’re finally tackling the music of the great George Strait at last! And you picked a wonderful first song to listen to, one of his most popular and long enduring hits! This classic was released in 1983 and surprisingly only got as high as #4 on the charts. Check out his first Number 1 single from 1982, “Fool Hearted Memory,” as well as “A Fire I Can’t Put Out” and “You Look So Good In Love,” which both went to #1 in 1983, the same year “Amarillo By Morning” came out. Also you should listen to “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind,” “Right Or Wrong,” “Let’s Fall To Pieces Together,” “The Cowboy Rides Away,” “The Chair,” “Nobody In His Right Mind Would Have Left Her,” “Ocean Front Property,” “All My Ex’s Live In Texas,” “Famous Last Words Of A Fool,” “Am I Blue,” “If You Ain’t Lovin’ (You Ain’t Livin’), “Baby’s Gotten Good At Goodbye,” “Ace In The Hole,” “Love Without End, Amen,” “I Cross My Heart,” “Check Yes or No,” “Blue Clear Sky,” “Carried Away,” “I Can Still Make Cheyenne,” “Carrying Your Love With Me,” “Write This Down,” “She’ll Leave You With A Smile,” “Cowboys Like Us,” “I Hate Everything,” “How ‘Bout Them Cowgirls,” “Troubadour,” “River Of Love,” and “Here For A Good Time.” Also if you really want more songs about the rodeo life, you gotta listen to the music of the late Chris LeDoux! Just do a deep dive on his stuff. Looking forward to seeing more reactions!
'Amarillo by Morning' is one of George Strait's bigger hits. Though on a personal level, I like 'I Cross My Heart' more. If you're interested in another country singer, then Toby Keith is a good choice. 'How Do You Like Me Now', is a hilariously fun song.
King George!! 60 number one hits!! Hail to the KING!
Just hope he doesn’t go psycho like Garth did..
Yeah be sucking on that celebrity dick 😂, i’ll never call another man a king 😅
61. #1 songs.
All hail King George

I salute you George Strait God bless you.
Yes!! I want them to react to some Conway Twitty excellence so badly!! Lol! Maybe someday...
Amazing, amazing artistry, so many great hits! The chair is one of my favs by him but way too many to say any are number one.

George Strait is definitely the king in my opinion. He has decades of hits. Going back to the 80's! He doesn't have a bad song. Any you choose is 🔥
Alan Jackson is better.

Garth always was just a bit more than Alan, and Garth claimed George Strait as king. I'll accept that as proof
George Strait one of the greatest Country singers ever,We love him in Canada.
“ain’t rich but lord I’m free “ hits hard everytime. He’s king because everytime music execs tried to turn country into pop, he would put out our country!

Not that this has anything to do with his singing, but he looks damn good in a pair of jeans too. 👍
LOL...before 81
Lol, just meant when he started singing on radio, was in 81.

Think he and Alan also did a song called Murder on Music Row.
Plus some real classic country sounding titles… “Nobody in his right mind would have left her”, “Blue Clear Sky”, “Ocean Front Property in Arizona”, “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind”, She’ll Leave You With a Smile”, “The Cowboy Rides Away”…
"Check Yes or No" is a cute, and heartfelt, one.

Yes, he is easy on the eyes. Hopefully they'll watch videos of him in concert and various videos.
I like George, but I'll never acknowledge him as having claim to that title.

I've had the priviledge of seeing George in concert a number of times and, as a media member (radio), have actually been backstage and met the man. Not only is he pretty much just a regular guy and very personable, he doesn't put on a big 'show' on stage. He's just himself, gets up and plays the songs. Some artists are just able to interpret a vocal in a way that reaches people. George is one of the best at this, and I believe that is his greatest appeal. When he first came on the scene in the early 80s, his sound was kind of revolutionary. Country had gone really 'pop' sounding, which is fine, but George (and a few others) brought a more traditional country sound back to the forefront. He then proceeded to chart hit after hit after hit eventually earning the title "King of Country." According to Wikipedia, "Strait currently holds the record for most number one songs on all charts by an artist in any genre of music." He outta be King of something...lol. Thanks for the reaction, guys. ;-)
George Strait handsome talented great singer songwriter musician incredible loved him since the early 80’s. You guys need to react to his 1992 movie Pure Country great story and he was so good in it
The best line in Pure Country; You know that white stuff on top of chickenshit well that's chickenshit too.
Yes PURE COUNTRY & the ENTIRE soundtrack 😀
Yes he’s handsome I’m a straight guy but I would let him use all of my holes however he pleases. No homo.
It's about time!! And yes absolutely the king of country!!!
Number one selling artist of all times of any kind of music
I have heard so many great songs from George Strait. Some great choices would be "Write this Down," "Check Yes or No," "Ocean Front Property," "I'm Carrying Your Love with Me," "I Cross My Heart," "Every Little Honky Tonk Bar," and so many more. Choose anyone you want or a song I forgot to mention. There are just too many for me to make a short list.
A friend of mine has seen George 27 times! So many years of hits - he is a legend.
George is a good guy. His son is too. We're all still brokenhearted about the loss of his daughter.
I saw him just once, thankfully.... I envy your friend, though
@@kenp.9762 Yes, she is indeed a huge fan. I have not had the pleasure, so glad you did!
He is the G.O.A.T. of country. "Check Yes Or No" "Run" or "I Cross My Heart" from his awesome soundtrack and movie "Pure Country" (yes he acts the lead). Awesome reaction guys.
Aww the just adore Check Yes or No 💕
George was also in Pure Country 2 The Gift Staring Katrina Elam where he plays himself.
He's the post 1980 GOAT... not the greatest of all time.
Great recommendations! Of course, it's hard to go wrong listening to any of his songs. :)
This song has one of the most recognizable fiddle strains. It is so hard to find a favorite of his. "The Chair", "Troubadour", ""I Cross My Heart", "All My Exes (Live in Texas)"...I could go on and on and on. All of 'em a true story-tellin' country!
When I want to get moving, love "Every little honky tonk bar"!
You mentioned “Exes”. Great memory for me. The first time I met my future sister-in-law, we were kidding around about “all my sisters live in Texas” because they lived in Missouri and us 4 half-sisters lived in Texas. When we went to their wedding, she pulled all of us onto the dance floor to sing along to the song. We were all laughing so hard by the end.
My dad passed away October 2021 from Covid. This was one of his favorite songs. He spent a good part of his younger days as rodeo clown. Every time I hear this, I think of him!
He's had so many #1 hits, they filled up a double album call 50 Number Ones! You can't go wrong with anything he's done!
"Troubadour" is amazing! George Strait is indeed the King of country music!
Amarillo in this context is his next rodeo. Take the time to watch his live "The Cowboy Rides Away" concert. See who shows up, you'll understand why he's the king of country. The duet of "How About Them Cowgirls" with Miranda Lambert is sublime.
100% agree!!! He is King George!!
George Strait is called King George for a reason. So many great songs. One of my favorites is "You Look So Good in Love".
Blue Clear Sky is one of my favorites of his 🙌🏼
My favorite George Strait song is "I Cross My Heart". It was written by Steve Dorff for the movie "Pure Country". George Strait had the lead role in the movie as the character "Dusty Wyatt Chandler". The entire contents of the movie lead up to the creation of this song that is unveiled and performed by George Strait at the end of the movie. It's a good little movie you may want to watch at some point in the future. But, definitely check out "I Cross My Heart". Another huge hit was "All My Exes Live in Texas". But, George Strait has dozens of #1 hits to choose from. He is an iconic legend in Country Music.
George Strait once came to a party known as "Spring has Sprung". I was about 10. He played with Jimmie Vaughan and his (you might know who) his brother Stevie. I wish I had understood the greatness that I was able to experience. My dad RIP played harmonica with them. Thanks for the memories, and the appreciation of classic music.
Absolutely the King of Country. He has a huge catalog of songs and hit after hit after hit. He's amazing.
The song is about chasing the rodeo.
George just had the biggest concert in America ever! Look it up.
George blows all the others out of the water. Great songs and a smooth voice.
Now you need to check out George Straight “I Cross my Heart” from the movie “Pure Country” and “Forever and Ever AMEN” by Randy Travis.
Troubadour, The Chair….
Back in the 80's, I wanted to take my husband to a George Strait concert ,for our anniversary. I couldn't buy the ticket until payday ,and I was worried it would be sold out by then. I called to get the tickets, and the lady said that it was pretty full, but we would be sitting to the side, and a little bit behind him. But she said he knew people would be sitting there, so he would be turning around. Then she laughed, and said... besides you're going to get to see the best side of George lol He is famous for his Wranglers lol
He is one of the greats in country.
He is also in the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Other George Strait songs you should check out include All My Exes Live in Texas and Ocean Front Property.
All my Exes... I love that one, too. In the movie, Roadhouse, Sam Elliott dances with a girl to that song on the juke just singing along. Sam Elliott has the sexiest voice of anyone. (.outside of my husband). My husband wins because it's my ear he sings into. Roadhouse stars Patrick Swayze and features Jeff Healey playing guitar. That's a recommendation and a plea from an old OLD hippie. You ask how old? yesterday was our 45th anniversary, and I was a month shy of 27 on my wedding day.
"Love Without End, Amen" is a must. "Carrying Your Love With Me" is a great one. "Check Yes or No" and "All My Exes Live in Texas" are fun songs you should check out.
George Strait has most #1 hit singles(60) in all genre's of music, that's how special He is..................
There are no bad George Strait songs. You should listen to Scott MCCreery’s song ‘Damn Strait’. People now sing about George Strait. Awesome catalog!
people been singing about George. Tm McGraw's first album has a song called give it to me strait
Granger Smith also as a song called Damn Strait which is a tribute to George Strait.
@@kevinsharpjr there's a few others too and at least 40 songs mention his name
"I Cross My Heart" is one of the most romantic songs ever! 'Carrying your Love With Me' is great too. He has tons or great songs
You can’t really go wrong with King George. My favorites are “Troubadour” and “I Can Still Make Cheyenne.” Oh wait…”Marina Del Rey” and “Run” too. “The Chair” is great…sigh.
Marina del Rey is my fave after Amarillo by Morning. That would be awesome choice!
Marina Del Rey 1000%!
I found God today, Every little Honky Tonk Bar, Heartland...wow the list is endless!
Love Without End, Amen is another one of his best!
I love all these! Plus " I saw God today."
This song always gives me goosebumps. In my opinion it's the perfect country song.
This is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking songs out there.
You might also want to listen to Kathy Mattea’s “Where Have You Been?”. No matter how many times I hear that song, I always burst into tears.
George Strait has more than 50+ NUMBER 1's!
He's known as King George for very good reason!
He can do ballads, funny, romantic, foot stompin' and so much more like no other country singer these days.
Some of my absolute favorites by him are: Adalida, The Chair, Write This Down, The Fireman, I Just Wanna Dance With You, Don't Make Me Come Over There and Love You and many many many more.
Not to mention he has just about the sexiest smile.... Just sayin'.
and a good actor to boot.
My faves by George are "The Chair" and for sentimental reasons, "I Just Want To Dance With You". Sentimental to me is because it was written by John Prine and the royalties from George's single, that went number 1, helped pay for John to have surgery for throat cancer.
I love "I Just Want To Dance With You". Such a beautiful, romantic song!
I love his song, "Baby Blue" it's about his daughter who was taken from this earth in a car wreck. He wrote that song for her.
He has more number ones than the rest! Thats why he is the king!
The song was actually wrote by Aaron Barker. The song wasn't written by George. It's not about his daughter, Jenifer. However, it is one of my favorite songs sung by George.
@@rhondalandrum8667 really! I thought the same thing!
@@carlastewart7519 yes. it's true.
@@rhondalandrum8667 it is a common myth and I'm glad you pointed it out.
One of my favorites!!! He is the king of country! Nobody more country than him!! He is country!!
Damn Strait He is 🤠
Great comeback!! You couldn't be more right!!
The king! This song hit right to my soul! What got me into country. Can’t wait to hear what y’all think
You should him sing "Check Yes Or No" or "Baby Blue". He said in this song, "I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate, and I hope that judge ain't blind." A rider has to stay on the bull for eight seconds to get a score, or they get nothing.
I always loved "All my Ex's Live in Texas"
It's a fun country song. Mel Tillis had a horrible studdering problem BUT he didn't studder when he sang, it was amazing. As he got older he sorta sang talked so he wouldn't studder but he would go on TALK shows & everyone laughed at him but I didn't because I Studdard TERRBLELY & had to go to speech therapy as a 4yr old & it helped me! Marty Robbins Hawaiian Wedding Song is beautiful, Ray Price-take the ribbon from ur hair, Willie Nelson & julio Iglasias- To all the girls I loved before. These are a few from my parents albums they owned & I grew up hearing them everyday. 😍🤠💚🙏👏
You definitely have to watch Willie in his Movie that was sort of autobiographical called Honeysuckle Rose with Diane Cannon as his wife! It's country but has a lot of comedy in it.
I like his first song 'Unwound' the most.
He got even more famous after his movie, "Pure Country" was released in 1992. I loved the movie because it had a really great story with an amazing romantic ending but even more because the story was backed by a great soundtrack of the music that he performs in the film.
The most famous song from the film I know that you both will love (especially Amber) is, "I cross my Heart"
Cross my Heart is an absolute favorite of mine. It was played during the wedding when my husband and I were married. It has always been a special song to me.
@@michelleedwards2636 ... hugs
I loved that movie, I have it
His 13 yr old daughter died in a car accident over 35 yrs ago.. he wrote "Baby Blue" about her. It's a very simple song, but I tear up every time. I'd say he's one of the best country singers.. every song is "pure Country". So if you're up to it try to listen to Baby Blue.
I graduated high school with the guy driving the car that killed her. They left a graduation party and the car flipped over. She wasnt wearing her seatbelt and car landed on her. George lived here for several years. My moms cousin babysat for jennifer n george jr. We met George grocery shopping here at the local Krogers in 1983.
Aaron Barker wrote Baby Blue.
Not true.
George Strait sang one of the greatest love songs ever written. Cross my heart. Give it a listen please
*George Strait - "Nobody in his right mind would've left her" is a must. There's so many great George Strait songs that I would literally just be listing them one after the other. "Check yes or no" is another I think you 2 would really like.*
Heck Yeah.... those are two great songs.
You can't go wrong with King George, so many awesome songs 👍🇺🇸🔥
@@kerrypierre9494 💯🔥
Next for George Strait, check out "The Chair" "Check Yes or No" "I Cross My Heart" and "You Look So Good In Love". For a bit of fun, you will not want to miss "All My Ex's Live In Texas" and "Ocean Front Property".
Have you heard Jamie Foxx's version of "You Look So Good In Love"? It is stunning! It could be a hit!
As far as fun goes, "The Fireman" is one of George Strait's most fun songs
@@jeffgyarmathy4837 agreed! I would also add "Honk If You Honky Tonk". There are so many to choose from!
@@jtkool1503 There's definitely plenty to choose from. I just named 6 songs to get them sucked into the George Strait rabbit hole! Lol
@@Devila103 watching their reaction to George last night, I stayed up MUCH later than I needed to listening to some classic Strait!
I would venture a guess to say "I CROSS MY HEART" will bring Amber to tears; seems to me the sincerity of the song, especially the official video with the scenes from the movie Pure Country will fill her with those happy tears (maybe Jay too!!!). Even though it was a 90's movie, maybe Pure Country, which stars George Strait, would make for a good follow up movie reaction. My apologies as I'm sure this has already been suggested, I wasn't able to read very many comments tonight!
His voice is so clear and clean.
Written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser and recorded in 1973. A big hit for George Strait in 1983 and played at all his concerts since as I recall. Most folks aren't aware that George didn't write the song but covered it.
Yes, finally!!!! George Strait IS the King of Country! He's got a huge catalog to listen through. He was my mom's fave singer so I got to accompany her to about 6 of his concerts. Thank you for reacting to this!!
When I was sixteen years old my best friend and I found out this new artist was coming to a local honky tonk in our town. We begged our moms to take us because we were too young to get in. They agreed and we got to see George Strait at a place called Circle W in Seminole, Oklahoma in 1982. It was so cool to watch him over the years become the king of country and knowing we got to see him before he became famous. BTW....he did sing Amarillo by Morning!!
One of my favorite of his songs is "I saw God today". It is so beautiful. Troubadour is a more recent song and I love it. The song "I cross my heart" is so romantic and could easily be a first dance at a wedding. "The Chair" is fantastic. There are no bad George Strait songs!
LOVE this song. Between his beautiful voice and that country fiddle, WOW
Amarillo by Morning one of my all time favorite George Strait song
J & Amber, George had over 80 Top 10 Country Chart Hits!!!, so all suggestions should be good!
Another classic country song is " Three Wooden Crosses" by Randy Travis!! You will be moved by it!!!
Y'all finally got to country's KING GEORGE! This is one of his earliest hits, there are so many songs in his catalog! He's a real one, as a country musician and as a human being, leads a pretty private life in his ranch. One of the last of the old true troubadours!
This is seriously my favorite George Strait song ❤.
George Strait is the KIng of Country because of the breadth of his music, the lifestyle he led, and the content of his music. To many country fans character matters.
George Strait is the King, while Dolly is the Queen of country music. It's crazy that they have never done a duet together!
My favorite George Strait songs are "The Chair" and Check Yes or No"
Alan Jackson is great too..I love his song "Don't rock the Jukebox"
I think you love those, they are fun and great to listen to.
Vince Gill is another wonderful singer, I love his song "Liza Jane"
Thanks for all the joy and smiles you bring to us here, too! :)
George Strait also did a movie called " Pure Country " that you may want to react to as well. But yes, he has many great songs.
Although I love GS, Pure County was pure crap!! Lol
He has a amazing voice that gives emotion when listening to him. Every, single, time. ❤️
I like George Strait's understated (for this day and age) approach to his music and his appearance, kind of clean, simple, classic. His voice is so smooth. I'm not into comparing vocalists. They all have strengths and bring something special. That said, he's one of my favorites. Thank you for reacting to this cowboy standard.
YESSSSS!!!! So glad you’re finally tackling the music of the great George Strait at last! And you picked a wonderful first song to listen to, one of his most popular and long enduring hits! This classic was released in 1983 and surprisingly only got as high as #4 on the charts. Check out his first Number 1 single from 1982, “Fool Hearted Memory,” as well as “A Fire I Can’t Put Out” and “You Look So Good In Love,” which both went to #1 in 1983, the same year “Amarillo By Morning” came out. Also you should listen to “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind,” “Right Or Wrong,” “Let’s Fall To Pieces Together,” “The Cowboy Rides Away,” “The Chair,” “Nobody In His Right Mind Would Have Left Her,” “Ocean Front Property,” “All My Ex’s Live In Texas,” “Famous Last Words Of A Fool,” “Am I Blue,” “If You Ain’t Lovin’ (You Ain’t Livin’), “Baby’s Gotten Good At Goodbye,” “Ace In The Hole,” “Love Without End, Amen,” “I Cross My Heart,” “Check Yes or No,” “Blue Clear Sky,” “Carried Away,” “I Can Still Make Cheyenne,” “Carrying Your Love With Me,” “Write This Down,” “She’ll Leave You With A Smile,” “Cowboys Like Us,” “I Hate Everything,” “How ‘Bout Them Cowgirls,” “Troubadour,” “River Of Love,” and “Here For A Good Time.”
Also if you really want more songs about the rodeo life, you gotta listen to the music of the late Chris LeDoux! Just do a deep dive on his stuff.
Looking forward to seeing more reactions!
Great voice!! Classic song!!🤘🔥
'Amarillo by Morning' is one of George Strait's bigger hits. Though on a personal level, I like 'I Cross My Heart' more. If you're interested in another country singer, then Toby Keith is a good choice. 'How Do You Like Me Now', is a hilariously fun song.
I really enjoy TOBY KEITH! he has a style all his own! 👍😃❣️😃👍
This song never gets tiring, NEVER.
Troubadour is a great George Strait song. His longevity and voice make him the king!
