I last saw Charlie Louvin on July 10, 2010 at the Grand Ole Opry which was held that night at the Ryman Auditorium. When the Opry was over we met him and his wife outside and he was gracious enough to sign an autograph for me and take several photos. His wife was just delightful. Unfortunately he passed away 7 months later - a REAL country performer. May he RIP
Thank you Charlie for singing Back when we were young. One of my top 5 TTH songs, much more emotion evoking than old dogs and watermelon wine. Love that little tremor in your voice at the start of this song. You even altered some of the lyrics but kept on going. Gives the song a new twist and meaning. And the cheat sheet is sparkling. A reminder of the vagaries of old age.
I saw Ira and Charlie years ago..They came tmy high school. It had to be when they were starting out. I saw Charlie again years later at the Lauderdale Civic Center in Florence, AL. They were my favorites.
I met the most nicest guy ever in country music I I worked as a DJ for KUSN radio inn St. Joseph MO The station brought Charlie to a nightclub called the Frog Hop Ballroom in 1968 and he was so gracious. Charlie decided he wanted to go to a bar that had music so we headed to Tura's and everyone there there was amazed he came down there. Charlie got up and sang a few songs with the band and he really liked the bans and told them to come to Nashville. Charlie had to get on the bus and head to Nashville to be on the Opry that next night. Charlie told me to come to Nashville and he would take me back stage of the opry. Four years latter my girl friend (later my wife) went to Nashville with some friends. I saw Charlie gain into the Opry and he knew me right away and stated to follow him I explained to him I had purchased tickets and he said when you are here you do not buy tickets. He then preceded to go in the crowd and sell my tickets. iWell while this was going on a pigeon fle over and did what pigeons do in my girl friends hair. Charlie was wearing a tux and pulled out his red handkerchief out of his breast pocket and cleaned the poop out of her hair. I thought the world of Charlie Louvin
Bless Charlie's heart!! He was obviously beginning to fail some already, at that time; but he sure didn't let it hold him back! You are so VERY MUCH MISSED, Charlie, but thankfully, each of these videos, and all of yours and Ira's recordings live on!
I have a picture with Connie and Marty backstage when they first started dating. I saw them hugging in the dark side stage in the dark. I thought...... what? wow? hey now! And I don't remember who, but they clicked a picture of us all together. It was a Friday night, around 11:30 pm Opry side stage. I was honored to work the Opry stage on the same night for over a decade with them. Later Connie was one of many legends that appeared on my Las Vegas show at The Aladdin Hotel & Casino.

Most of the shit that passes for country music these days can't hold a candle to this.

After he sang the last song and the band started playing it looked like it scared him a wee bit. Lol
What year Martin guitar is Marty playing?
What is the name of the last song he sang?
It's called "Back when we were young"
Ol Charlie should quit while he was ahead. Pitiful
Just classy of you!
