Charlies voice is deep and clear as spring water. So smooth and he carries the strongest melody line of them all. He is unforgettable. I was priviledged to hear him live many times.
i was at a bluegrass festivile , blisterd fingers in vasselboro maine , and when charlie opened his mouth and began to sing it was like someone hit me in the chest with a 12 lb sledge hammer and knocked me back 20 rows, it was that powerful. maybe 15 to 20 years ago and i can still see him sitting on a stool and hear that voice. wow!!!
I am a little partial to the 1971 version, off the Sound Off LP. It was exceptional 50 years ago when they released back then. The Country Gentleman Folkways label was the absolute best. The Country Gentleman was one of the best things that ever come out of Washington DC.
I knew charlie from the old days in Alexandria Va.I owned a restaurant he was one of my house bands lost touch over the years I was on vacation heard he was going to bluegrass festival in Maryland where he made an anual visit,I drove from Branson Mo.to see him He passed away while I was getting settled in.His son did a good job filling in,I am still emotionally struck that I didn;t keep the relationship up,don,t put things off too long.
As college students in D.C. 1972-76, we'd often see The Seldom Scene, Country Gentleman...as well as many other amazing musicians and groups... at the local clubs. The last time I saw the Country Gentleman was at a weird "Mexican" restaurant/ music club in D.C. in 1975? The "Mexican" food on the East Coast then sucked, but we went to hear the band; they were great. Both groups formed in the D.C. area when we were in high school around 1970-71. Luckily, we were hip enough at that age to like jazz, blues, rock, soul, classical and bluegrass; it was quite the melting pot on the East Coast then. We loved being part of the scene.
Looks like this was filmed at the River Park Center in Owensboro, KY. (A short trip from Rosine, KY, the birthplace of Bill Monroe and Bluegrass music.)
Charlie Waller had one of the greatest voices ever in any genre of music. So pure, such range, and a unique rich rich tone.
Very Calming effect!
I agree

Ronnie Reno on mandolin. Charlies singing and rhythm top notch as always

Use to watch this show with my dad
Charlie Waller, one of the all time greatest country singers. A unique and distinctive voice.
Awesome Talent!!
I know of no other who sang as well or with such heart and harmony as Charlie Waller.
Charlie was one of a kind. Even more so amongst bluegrass singers.
Gosh I hate he isn’t still making music. Simply beautiful.
I used to hear the Country Gentlemen every week at the Shamrock in Georgetown
Great job Charlie And Ronnie..great song. Charlie had an awesome voice..a God gifted voice for sure. .RIP Charlie.

@seagullsd70
Yes, that is Ronnie Reno, this is from Reno's old time music show of which Ronnie is the host.
Good Voice. I still miss Charllie. Thanks for great performance. Is the mandolin player Ronnie Reno?
Yes it is Ronnie Reno
Beautiful music.
I wonder if Charlie was a brother? Just looking at his ring.
Are you referring to his ruby ring?
@@diannadunford8098 yes
If you are referring to a Masonic order or something similar, the answer is no.
That's not John Duffy?
Goodern, Jeff! :)
