    As a 20 year old unfortunate enough to be in gen Z, I wish we had more people like this. Genuine old school folks are a dying breed. Life is good and I thank the Lord every day for another chance to be a light in this dying world.

      Yup and once they are all gone you will never see another generation like them again NEVER! What they went thru work, taking care of their kids and such a young age , again work and work and never once complain about this or that makes them the strongest there will ever be! Those generations were it!

    Ray Price is one of the absolute best. He is a reflection of what true country music is. Of all the great Ray Price songs my favorite is "I Wish I Was 18 Again". I will be 79 in a couple of months so I certainly feel the emotion of this song. I can only speak for myself, but I believe most of us wish we could be 18 again.

    • @smerchly

      You speak for me too . I'm 79 and still love to listen to the 'old' crooners sing those sweet ballads . George Burns did a nice job on this song as well , and my father sang it while playing his piano about 20 years ago and he taped it for me . Cheers !

    Dying of Pancreatic cancer he did an album Beauty Is and dedicated to his wife Janie. He would stay in the music venue and sign or shake any hand his whole career. By the time (Being last) in line, he signed everything for me. He did not make me feel rushed but appreciated. He never took a dime from songwriters for songs he sang. His songs are timeless. They say his Voice in the final album when he was in extreme pain from end stage pancreatitis cancer Did not require any musical enhancements. The older I get the how soo many old greats gear forgotten. Recall as a kid listening to 78 real thick records and because of the bad recordings I just trashed all those records. Now most don’t know what a 78 record was.

    I am 72. I get it. My niece called me old not long ago. I said yeah you are right, but I saw things live you only read about in history books, heard groups, and singers at their prime, and saw entertainers on Ed Sullivan of my parents and grandparents time, before the curtain fell for them forever. I saw America go from the peaceful sleepy 50's, to the mess it is today, and it all took about 37 seconds, which you will not begin to understand till you are old too.

    While I don’t want to be 18 again, I would take my 30’s. My dad loved Ray Price so I grew up listening to his 8-tracks and albums on the stereo that sat prominently in the living room. Such a beautiful voice even at his older age shown in this video. He never lost his voice. Thank you Mr. Price for the years of enjoyment you brought us and this song is extremely touching as we all get older. RIP.

    Got to see this Gentleman within a year before his death. Didn't remember his name. Shed a few tears through the whole concert, knowing I grew up listening to him. He still sounded as great then as he did in my younger days. And this song brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it.

    I wa, in his, latter years a Freind of Ray's. One evening, while sharing a bottle of sour mash Bourbon Whiskey, on his tour bus I asked him if he really wished he was 18 again. He answered in the affirmative. I told him that I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, but hetold me that if he was 18 again, he could have 60 more years to entertain folks with his music. That was the last conversation I ever had with my Frein, he passed shortly thereafter. Makes me wish he could've been 18 again. Isorely miss Ray!

    When you think how long Elvis has been gone he is still being talked about, that is something no other
    Singer actor after being gone so long but is still being talked about
    He was amazing and kind, we all have faults
    But his is still out there
    Elvis is King and all ways will be
    He had the full package
    So very Handsome
    And could sing
    Not forgetting how much he gave to people
    A kind gentall man
    He had millions of dollars stole by his
    Nasty manager
    I cried so much when he died I was not a teenager I had children
    I thought that they would never no or hear him singing
    How wrong I was a
    King never dies, he just left the building
