Ronnie Milsap is one of the greatest singers of all time. He has many great songs and yes that is him playing the piano. I recommend Smokey Mountain Rain and Stranger in my House.
Ronnie is an amazing artist. Yes he is blind and yes that is him playing the piano in this song. I too recommend You listen to Smokey Mountain Rain! It is an amazing song from Ronnie as well.
People now days seem to have forgotten but back in the day Ronnie Milsap had some huge hits that crossed over from the country to the pop charts. this 8s one of my all time favorites!
You have to check out "Stranger in My House", "Any Day Now" and What a Difference You've Made". There are so many others as well. Another country artist who plays piano is Phil Vassar. And then there's Ray Charles' foray into country music as well as Jerry Lee Lewis.
“Stranger In My House” is great ‘80s country/rock. “What A Difference You’ve Made” is beautiful, and has become a loving praise song for the man now. Hope you get to hear both tunes.
Ronnie is my husband's favorite artist. I wouldn't be shocked if he is listening to him and singing along at the top of his lungs right this very minute. 😀 I'd say his favorite is Smoky Mountain Rain. Buy hey, there are no bad Ronnie songs.
My girlfriend at the time this song came out, died. She was killed by a drunk driver. Her name was Jill. I was a Marine, she was joy, energy, life to me. I am married, 62, have two kids. They are grown. I still think of her EVERY day. God knows I love my wife today. She is an angel, for sure. However, I will never let Jill go. It was so preventable loss, but life is never what we think. EVERY time I hear this song I lose it. God help me please. To this day I still HURT! It is not rational, but it is fact. The tears come. A song tied to time.
You are correct Sir. Ronnie always plays piano on his songs. You've barely scratched the surface. Smokey Mountain Rain would be a great song to react to
An emotional wallop of a song. I would recommend his huge hit "Lost in the Fifties Tonight" from 1985. #1 Country hit, won "Best Country Song" awards here in America.
Ronnie Milsap has been one of my favorites for decades…superb voice and lots of great songs…this is one of my all time favorites…both the instrumental, the lyrics and his voice. You need a dive into BJ Thomas also…he died last year 😢
I got to meet Ronnie last year here in Minnesota when he played a show I absolutely love his music and he is such a great guy. I couldn't believe it was happening honestly
Ronnie has always been a family favorite. Most of his songs make me cry...but from the tugs at my heartstrings. My ex, who hated country, actually sent me 'I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World' after our breakup. 💔💔. We also loved BJ Thomas - another beautiful crooner.
He played the piano so beautifully, and knowing he was blind made it even more beautiful. He was very popular during the "pop" crossover phase of country music. He and Barry Manilow always reminded me of one another.
I saw Ronnie in concert in 1981. He is blind and plays the piano. I remember someone led him to the piano bench and he started the show. About midway through the concert he got up and walked close to the edge of the stage (about 1 foot from the edge) He must have heard the crowd gasp as he said “don’t be alarmed those guys (gesturing to the band behind him) will let me know when I get too close to the edge if I asked them how much room I have right now they would tell be I had 6 or 8 feet.
The discography of American country music singer Ronnie Milsap consists of 30 albums and 79 singles. Since releasing his first album in 1971, Milsap has had 40 number-one hits on the Billboard country chart and sold over 35 million albums.
Nice song. The only song I know that Ronnie once sang was "In The Still of the Night" and that is only because my father in law, the singer and writer of that song, was Fred Parris of the Five Satins. Fred just passed away 2 weeks ago at age 85 and this bought back memories of when he sang it at the Grammys in the 80's with my father in law.
Stranger in my House....What a Difference You've Made in my Life....Daydreams About Night Things...Any Day Now...She Keeps the Home Fires Burning...Stand by my Woman Man...Pure Love! Just to get ya Started & to add to some others already mentioned!
"Lost in the Fifties Tonight (In The Still of the Night)" is another great song by Ronnie Milsap. Ronnie was born in Robbinsville, N C and attended the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh, N C.
Ronnie Milsap is in a league all by himself. I love this all all of his songs. Lost in the 50's tonight is another great song. maybe you can please react to that one as well! Thanks for you honest great reaction!
I've been begging for Ronnie Milsap!!! Yay!! Man can he play for being blind. I can't do it with 4 eyes. I always loved Stranger in my House! He has such a humongous & fantastic catalog, it's hard to pick! Can't go wrong!! ❤👍💯
I was raised in Memphis, Tn. And there was a shopping center a couple blocks away, zayers was the big dept store and below the zayers was a bar..... and I would go on Friday and Saturday nights and hang out and listen to whoever was playing and Ronnie Milsap was one of the people I heard a lot. This was in the late 60's. Then he got famous, and never looked back. He was a nice guy too, would dedicate songs to the kids outside lol.
My favorite Ronnie Milsap song is Lost in the 50's Tonight, that song makes me melt. I think a lot of his emotions comes out on his piano keys, very gentle on songs like this and a little harder on other songs, he's a great performer, no matter what instrument he plays, his emotions come through in a wonder way. He has a very beautiful voice
I am always amazed at his talent on the piano because he is blind and has to know where each and every key is. Although I am not sure if it is him playing on this song. Since we don't have visual...but I bet it is.
You need to hear What a Difference you made in my life and Smokey Mountain Rain. I saw him in the early 80s...pure magic....effortless...pure talent...what a gift to country music.
This is my favorite song of Ronnie’s. He plays the piano beautifully! He is one reason why I had my son take piano lessons. He started at the age of 5 and he’s almost 28. Such a beautiful instrument.
every time I hear this song it takes me back to the late 70s when I had to break things off with my oldest sons father...it isn't so much a sadness as just a journey we had travel ..we both moved on and he has passed away several years back
Radio stations need to play the greats more often....kinda maddening that they dont ....so many people are missing out on some righteous music and talent.
I've had that very album throughout the decades, in several forms. From cassette to CD. Every song on that Greatest Hits album is a solid gold winner. Not a single filler song on it.
Lost in the 50s tonight is a must to really hear his vocal range. Fantastic voice. Still a big fan of your chann. Keep m commin.. ill keep listening. Dan north florida. Usa -3/16/22 .
Oh if you want piano in country music you should check out: Mickey Gilley, Charlie Rich aka The Silver Fox, Jessie Colter "I'm Not Lisa", Mary Chapin Carpenter "I Feel Lucky" and so many more. Great reaction! 🤘Rock On!🤘
A lot of people don't know this but Ronnie was Elvis Presley's or one of his favorite singers Elvis used to hire Ronnie for his birthday parties and Ronnie milsap saying background on a few of Elvis's hit songs I believe Kentucky rain was one of them
Beautiful song. Ronnie has a very powerful voice. And yes the piano. For more Country piano you could check out Floyd Cramer. His slip notes are something you can't forget. He described his slip note as playing the wrong note first, then the right note.😊❤
There are a lot of people out there reacting to music, but just a handful doing country reactions - especially the stuff I grew up on. Really enjoying your channel! Can’t wait to hear more!
I cried hearing this song for almost 40 years last time i heard it! And thought i was barry manilow ,shame on me, Sorry Mr.Ronnie, you're such a gifted, talented underatted singer!❤❤❤
Floyd Cramer had a hit with "Last Date", a piano instrumental. Cramer also added piano tracks to many well-known songs of many great artists. For a time, in country music's Golden Era, he was practically everywhere.
Ronnie can really play the piano well. He is also blind from an early age. Ronnie was born and raised in North Carolina and has a nice song called Smokey Mountain Rain. Please check it out.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Great reaction. Suggestions for other country artists you might enjoy, Patsy Cline-Crazy, Barbara Mandrel-I was Country When Country wasn't Cool, Don Williams-Lord I hope This Day is Good, Jim Reeves-Blue Side of Lonesome, and Marty Robbins-You Gave me a Mountain.
A really good song with piano is "Seven Spanish Angels" with Willie Nelson and Ray Charles. The live video is the best. Ray Charles was also blind and is known as the King of Soul in the South and played the piano. Their duet is awesome. Great song.

I'm a song writer piano player nashville tennessee, I really enjoy your journey. I have a lot more information for you. I'm 70 years old, so I've been around., How about a four time grammy award winner steve wariner,(The Weekend)( It's what I didn't do) He's also one of the finest guitar players..... 😊
I Wouldn’t Have Missed It For The World and Smoky Mountain Rain. Love Ronnie Milsap!
LOVE both of those!!
Ronnie Milsap is one of the greatest singers of all time. He has many great songs and yes that is him playing the piano. I recommend Smokey Mountain Rain and Stranger in my House.
Another one of my favorites! Ronnie Milsap!! What a voice..talented with that piano..never gave up on life! Grew up on his music!
Ronnie is an amazing artist. Yes he is blind and yes that is him playing the piano in this song. I too recommend You listen to Smokey Mountain Rain! It is an amazing song from Ronnie as well.
People now days seem to have forgotten but back in the day Ronnie Milsap had some huge hits that crossed over from the country to the pop charts. this 8s one of my all time favorites!

“Stranger In My House” is great ‘80s country/rock. “What A Difference You’ve Made” is beautiful, and has become a loving praise song for the man now. Hope you get to hear both tunes.
We saw Ronnie Milsap in concert at the Music Hall in Kansas City, Missouri. He was GREAT!!
Nothing more beautiful than going down a country road.
Ronnie is my husband's favorite artist. I wouldn't be shocked if he is listening to him and singing along at the top of his lungs right this very minute. 😀 I'd say his favorite is Smoky Mountain Rain. Buy hey, there are no bad Ronnie songs.
I love this man. No one sounds like Ronnie. Anything he sings is gold.
He is so talented...He lost his sight when he was younger had been raised in a orphanage for a long time..He never gave up on his dream!❤👏👏👏🌟
My girlfriend at the time this song came out, died. She was killed by a drunk driver. Her name was Jill. I was a Marine, she was joy, energy, life to me. I am married, 62, have two kids.

Ronnie Millsap is the Elton John of country music, in his singing and his piano playing. And especially in his sheer professionalism.
You are correct Sir. Ronnie always plays piano on his songs. You've barely scratched the surface. Smokey Mountain Rain would be a great song to react to

You need a dive into BJ Thomas also…he died last year 😢
Yes!!! "(Hey! Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" and "Hooked on a Feeling" are two of my favorites.
@@magic8ball1982 - mine too…I just left out “Hooked On A Feeling” because it’s not ‘Country’
@@ChicagoDB That depends on how you define country. I've seen it on several country playlists and even heard it on country radio a few times.
I got to meet Ronnie last year here in Minnesota when he played a show I absolutely love his music and he is such a great guy. I couldn't believe it was happening honestly

I saw him about the same time. I remember him looking out at the crowd, lifting his glasses and saying "What a crowd !!!" 😃
One of the best vocalists I ever had the pleasure to experience live. He was amazing.
Fav Milsap songs were smokey Mountain Rain, There's No Gettin' Over Me and this one. Love his voice & piano.
The discography of American country music singer Ronnie Milsap consists of 30 albums and 79 singles. Since releasing his first album in 1971, Milsap has had 40 number-one hits on the Billboard country chart and sold over 35 million albums.
I haven't heard this in years.... I forgot how wonderful he was.
He has so many great hits. Please continue listening to him.
Nice song.

His and George Strait are the best concerts I've ever attended. For a blind man, He is ALL OVER the stage while performing.
Ronnie was blind and yes he played the piano. He write such wonderful songs. I saw him several times in concert and everytime it was an amazing show.
Stranger in my House....What a Difference You've Made in my Life....Daydreams About Night Things...Any Day Now...She Keeps the Home Fires Burning...Stand by my Woman Man...Pure Love! Just to get ya Started & to add to some others already mentioned!
All these songs are awesome and worth a listen!
Thanks for the memories just reading your kind comments!
I've always loved Ronnie, he has such a great voice. Have you heard Smoky Mountain Rain by him?
Another great one Ronnie has. 😊
You ever notice how much 'Smokey Mountain Rain' sounds a LOT like Elvis' 'Kentucky Rain'? And did you know who played piano for Elvis, back then?
@@bwilliams463: 😳
Love Smoky Mountain Rain!
I love Smokey Mountain Rain....beautiful
Love Ronnie Milsap!
One of my favs. Smoky Mountain Rain is my fav as I live in the Smoky Mountains.

Ronnie Milsap is in a league all by himself. I love this all all of his songs. Lost in the 50's tonight is another great song. maybe you can please react to that one as well! Thanks for you honest great reaction!
I used to play this on the piano as a kid.
Awesome pianist and one of the best vocalist ever!

He’s a gem. Brings back so many memories. Oh my heart
I've been begging for Ronnie Milsap!!! Yay!! Man can he play for being blind. I can't do it with 4 eyes. I always loved Stranger in my House! He has such a humongous & fantastic catalog, it's hard to pick! Can't go wrong!! ❤👍💯

There are so many great country artists. My favorites are from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Ronnie Milsap is one of them. Thank you for doing country music.
Love 💘. RONNIE MILSAP
Thank you for this reaction, it's such a beautiful song, brought back great memories.

Ahhhh.....the amazing Ronnie Milsap! I was hoping you would get to him. He has a wonderful catalog. ❤
He’s blind and plays the piano.. Really brings back some tears. ❤️❤️❤️
one of my favorite smoky mountain rain
As others have mentioned. Smoky Mountain Rain! You'll love it
This is my favorite song of Ronnie’s. He plays the piano beautifully! He is one reason why I had my son take piano lessons. He started at the age of 5 and he’s almost 28. Such a beautiful instrument.
❤️ everyday you bring back sweet memories - now with Ronnie. So many great songs like smoky mountain rain, lost in the 50’s tonight… love this!
every time I hear this song it takes me back to the late 70s when I had to break things off with my oldest sons father...it isn't so much a sadness as just a journey we had travel ..we both moved on and he has passed away several years back
Radio stations need to play the greats more often....kinda maddening that they dont ....so many people are missing out on some righteous music and talent.
That’s why I listen to Prime Country on Sirius Radio for songs of the 80’s and 90’s.
I've had that very album throughout the decades, in several forms. From cassette to CD.
Every song on that Greatest Hits album is a solid gold winner. Not a single filler song on it.
Love this song ❤️
It didn't get any better than Ronnie Milsap. What a voice. His voice control was amazing.
He's still with us, at 81 years of age.
Brings back so many memories of my childhood currently 53

I love the piano, too. That’s probably why I became such a huge Phil Vassar fan. He’s a singer songwriter and does a lot with the piano. 🥰
Yes indeed…I’ve seen Phil several times over the years…superb also.
His songs were huge hits!!
Always love the way you can understand all the Lyrics when he sings.
I cried hearing this song for almost 40 years last time i heard it! And thought i was barry manilow ,shame on me, Sorry Mr.Ronnie, you're such a gifted, talented underatted singer!❤❤❤
