I love ralph Stanley. I had the privilege many of years ago when he done a tour in Pennsylvania to be the one who fixed the major electrical issues he had on stage. My father grew up with him. I was the only person who was able to keep the show going. Proud yes some electrical tap and wires his performance went on. That will be a evening I'll never forget. Love you Mr. Stanley
My Mamas favorite song. She loved Ralph Stanley. The whole family really. About 12:30am last night she went on to be with the Lord. She's probably helping him sing these songs😭💔😭💔😭
We just laid my grandma to rest today. We are the ones crying and feeling it they are having a reunion in heaven with all those gone on before. Im glad ive made preparations to see my grandma, and rest of loved ones again. Praying for you and your family.
Ralph Stanley 2 (in the Red) really stands out in this rendition. I love that he has such a different sound than his dad's. You can definitely tell that many of the greats that performed along side his dad have influenced his style/sound. He doesnt sound like this in every song. He has great range but I like him best when he is singing in his lower register. It sounds as if he is channeling his inner Keith Whitley when he does. I love it!
My mom passed away at 43 I was 13 never heard her pray for me but I'm sure she did I'm now 83 gave my life to Jesus 7 years ago pray for My kids and grands every day ands great grands thank you Jesus for saving my soul
My dad did some session work with The Carter Family in the late fifties. They were his favorite singers. They would every time they did a new album they would send him a copy in the mail. RIP RALPH AND CARTER STANLEY.
That's really something for you and your family. Ralph was a unique, true old mountain man and I'm impressed your dad worked with him and respected him. Best wishes from SE KY.
One of mama's favorite songs. She would listen to it over and over sometimes and she absolutely loved Ralph Stanley. It's kinda hard to listen to this now but at the same time it somewhat brings me peace. Feb 1st she'll have been gone a year and boy do I ever miss her. She always knew what to do and say in bad situations. Only God knows how deep the pain is💔💔💔💔💔💔
Amazing that even here when he was less than 100% Ralph was still the best singer of the bunch. Like he always said, it's not something you can learn, you're either born with it or not. I do like the lead singing of Ralph II. They really sounded great together. In fact I think this version may rival the original.
I grew up w music like this love this song. Thanks for the memories of great good music. Today's music isn't this good anymore. Never will be. Love good old classic bluegrass music. I also love Elvis Presley Gosple songs I grew up w Good old fashioned Christian ways and still remain today in my heart. God bless you
My favorite gospel song ever. Ralph II is singing lead with his Dad singing back up. I get chillbumps listening to this. Don't get no better than this. RIP Ralph. I bet you and Carter are singing with the angels.
Being related to the Stanley family through my aunt Thelma I can remember as a young child visiting my dad's family in Clintwood Va, (actual they lived in Dante) during the Gospel meetings that Ralph and his family would always come and sing. Its were I first began to learned Bluegrass guitar.
What an incredible , blessed oppurtunity to sit in and get to sing harmonys with this group , singing this song ... A Gift indeed Ralph ll has a wonderful voice , Ralph senior is a unsurpassed voice in bluegrass and gospel I never tire of these guys
My thoughts EXACTLY it sounds like the spirit of Mr.Whitley wasn't quite done being around the man who made him the icon he is today! now they are finally together in heaven
The man in red is Ralph Stanley the second. Its his son. He has an amazing voice. And like his father, he sticks to his roots and sings music from the heart and not to get rich like artists today.
The exact same here too. Keith Whitley is one of my all time favorite singers and so is Ralph Stanley. But this song is special to me and I think this is my favorite version. Stanley II has an awesome voice.
Seeing Ralph Stanley and Marty stuart together reminds me. As a kid. I went to a bluegrass show in a fire hall with my uncle and the two of them sang high on the mountain top together. Can't find a recording of them doing it anywhere the best performance I have ever seen. Tow of my favorite singer.
Be strong in the faith. For the place we go to there will only be tears of joy..no more pain..no more suffering, the toils of this Earthly walk will have given way to seeing our saviour on his throne. It is my faith that our father will build a new place called Heaven and that the physics and diseases that were put upon this Earth by Satan will no longer exist. My mind cannot comprehend the bliss. Be strong in faith. Take care
They are incredibly talented and will never be forgotten. Trace Adkins has a phenomenal version of Wayfairing Stranger that everyone needs to listen to. Ralph Stanley had a huge rebirth because of the Oh brother, where are thou movie ! The soundtrack sold more than 8-10 million copies. What a it was to grow up during the 1960’s . RIP Stanley Brothers.
Today I got a guitar signed by this legend that my uncle had before he passed. It got handed down to me from where I’m the only one that plays guitar and it’s signed by him in 2003 I’m guessing since it says it below where he signed! Never heard of him but I’ve recently listened to some of his songs and damn their pretty good!
Justin, I hope now that you've grown older you maybe might still appreciate his music. I know there's lots of other stuff you may have come to enjoy but please don't forget the value of the old music.
Thanks this is beautiful and blessed. I love bluegrass. Music like this always brightens my day. Anyone who doesn’t like this has something wrong with them.
Watching it again!! I think I could be wound up like an 8-day clock and plagued with troubles.....listen to this.....calm down....and Thank God for Peace and Blessings.
My grandma was a Carter that married a Jones, how much more country can you get. The Carters and Jones's sound and look alot like Mr. Stanley. Makes me wonder if Ralf Stanley is not some far distant kin. I would love to think so anyways. Love this ❤
This is a beautiful song, it holds a special meaning in my heart, ..my mother had requested that the This be played at her passing away. It always brings tears to my eyes
Oh Wow! They are a Classic. I am glad it is being passed down. Unfortunately, some of this great music isn't being passed through generations. If it is not continued, it will die out. :(

So hauntingly beautiful and true. Nobody sings like this anymore. God bless you all

Dudes got the voice of a Angel.
Lord, I know why you took them boys home....they could teach angels to sing. Gonna miss 'em bad.

Mr.Stanley was a down to earth man..very kind, to everyone..RIP SIR.
My mom passed away at 43 I was 13 never heard her pray for me but I'm sure she did I'm now 83 gave my life to Jesus 7 years ago pray for My kids and grands every day ands great grands thank you Jesus for saving my soul
So glad you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior!!
Ralph Stanley was always my favorite and still is, his voice and music brings you closer to the lord
Despite not believing in any deity, listening to this does make me feel closer to something good, earthly, brotherly or sprititual. Very nice...
Does not come any better than the Dr. Signing it along 2😊
My son passed 2 years ago at age 38. Played go rest high on that mountain at his funeral, wished I had played this also he loved this song
Love This song! Ralph Stanley Awesome! Bluegrass Addict 3/27/2021

Thank you! Ralph's high notes send chills up my spine! Haunting and beautiful...
High lonesome sound.
I absolutely love to listen to Ralph Stanley
Me too.
As an Aussie I grew up with this magical sound. Love this man and his late brother.
R.I.P MR STANLEY
This man’s voice gives me full body chills. What a blessing to find him❣️
This is what I call Great Music..Best kind you can ever find..Thank You Ralph for all your great singing and songs

Rest In Paradise Ralph you will be missed!!!
CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG SO WELL.MISS ALL MY LOVED ONES THAT HAVE GONE ON BEFORE ME BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WILL MEET THEM AGAIN ONE DAY
I still believe in God but I’m not very religious anymore if that makes any sense but I still love hearing this music. It’s so beautiful.
Is not about people, is all about Jesus. Back to your sweet Holy Father
hell is still real
@@peacefulpear8 true that
Forgot Religion and read the Book of Romans, again and again. Then go to the next of Paul's 13 Epistle's. You will be greatly blessed!
Religion is man made anyway. ❤

Oh, what a joy! I remember them when I was a kid. So happy to find this.
I love RS2’s voice. So warm and mellow.

... A Gift indeed
Ralph ll has a wonderful voice , Ralph senior is a unsurpassed voice in bluegrass and gospel
I never tire of these guys
Wow! That cat in the red sounds like a young KEITH Whitley. Keith used to sing lead for them, many years ago. What a haunting performance.
My thoughts EXACTLY it sounds like the spirit of Mr.Whitley wasn't quite done being around the man who made him the icon he is today! now they are finally together in heaven
That's ralphs son ralph Stanley II
Max Dane I thought the exact same thing. Such a beautiful chilling voice.
The man in red is Ralph Stanley the second. Its his son. He has an amazing voice. And like his father, he sticks to his roots and sings music from the heart and not to get rich like artists today.
The exact same here too. Keith Whitley is one of my all time favorite singers and so is Ralph Stanley. But this song is special to me and I think this is my favorite version. Stanley II has an awesome voice.
Humming along the harmonies, old timers are experts at this!!
Love this song it brings tears to my eyes 😭👍💯
Absolutely it's been my absolute pleasure
🌞🙏🌞🙏🌞🙏🌞🙏🌞🌞🙏🌞
Amen to that and I was raised this way and I don't regret anything about it and I am proud

Wow, I envy you that experience.
they will never be another Ralph Stanley.
C,T Robert He is like Hank Sr, Merle Haggard, and Elvis.
Ralph Stanley had a singurlarly unique voice. At his prime in the early 70s he was unsurpassable.
Incredible song from a incredible man. One of a kind.
Yessir!
Gives me chills on the back of my neck...That's when you know it's good! Beautiful
Reminds me so much of my Mamaw. She loved Brother Ralph. I lost Dad in 2015 and Mom in 2017 and im 57 but i know ill see em all again one day....

Good job young man. Lots of great music and genres out there. Glad to see you appreciate these fellas.
You will find no music with more soul, heart and passion that you will in old country and bluegrass.
Me too I’m 13 as well I listen too hank Williams and hank Williams jr George Jones Charlie Daniels very good
Justin, I hope now that you've grown older you maybe might still appreciate his music. I know there's lots of other stuff you may have come to enjoy but please don't forget the value of the old music.
Rest in Peace Ralph Stanley
Rest in Peace Ralph !! You were the best !!!

My grandma was a Carter that married a Jones, how much more country can you get.
The Carters and Jones's sound and look alot like Mr. Stanley.
Makes me wonder if Ralf Stanley is not some far distant kin.
I would love to think so anyways.
Love this ❤
Wonderful, thank you.
Gospel music is the best. I can listen to Ralph Stanley all day.
Perfectly timeless!
This is a beautiful song, it holds a special meaning in my heart, ..my mother had requested that the This be played at her passing away. It always brings tears to my eyes

Can't begin to imagine how much Ralph Stanley missed Keith Whitley. I bet he was heart broken when Keith passed away.
The guy in red sounds like the Late Keith Whitley. Ralf Stanley, I have been listening to him since I was a very young child. Love it!
That's Ralph's son Ralph II
Oh Wow! They are a Classic. I am glad it is being passed down. Unfortunately, some of this great music isn't being passed through generations. If it is not continued, it will die out. :(
+Scarlett White Very true...His grandson Nathan is also carrying on the family tradition. Look up his video "He'll always be Papaw to me"
That is Ralph Stanley grandson
Sharon Edwards the guy in the red shirt is his son Ralph Stanley II not his Grandson
Awesome video! Always brings a tear to my eyes!
This is not called the talent this is chossen by God for his faithful servant.
Might be my favorite song of all time what’s great job doing it by the band and Ralph
Love ❤️ this song
I miss the guy. RIP Dr. Stanley
RIP 😔 Never will be another Ralph Stanley
