I'm often shocked and saddened by the hateful comments on UA-cam. Jimmy Martin is an outstanding performer. I'm sure he'd be ashamed of the comments here.
I'm 30 and listen to Jimmy Martyn daily. Hope this brings a little bit of comfort to you. I think he's a legend. If it were me, I couldn't hope for much more than that. And if I have the pleasure someday of having children and grandchildren, you better rest goddamn assured that they will listen to this stuff too.
All of these people talking trash about Jimmy Are STUPID! Jimmy Was the best singer in Bluegrass music! NO ONE can beat his voice! Who Cares if he cussed and talked the way he did! He knew he was the BEST and didnt care what ANYONE thought! Jimmy Martin Is THE KING OF BLUEGRASS! RIP JIMMY!!!!!
I went to my great uncle Jimmy Martins house growing up and I remember Ol Pete. He had a lot of dogs . He made me cry laughing everytime I saw Jimmy. He was the BEST !!!!!!
Hey Rhonda, I was down on 57 Easter Brothers had his bus sitting on the lot, I talked to someone there, he said go on board take a look, Jimmy was gone I did a walk around and left, I got some good vides just seeing it.
Made my hair stand up, give me goosebumps then the words took over made me cry like a baby. Thank you father for everything you’ve done for little me….praise you praise you
We are all small in comparison to G-d. The fact that He would sacrifice Himself in the Son Christ Jesus is a true testament of His love for us poor sinners. Thank you Jesus!
Jimmy had some good stuff. My favorites: twenty twenty vision walking around blind. I can't quit cigarettes. Ocean of diamonds. Saw him embarrass a player who could not keep time. Stopped the show and told audience to take a good look at this old boy cause he won't be back. Man!
It’s no coincidence that the very hat he wears in this video… is the one in the picture on his tombstone. He bought it at Loretta Lynn’s clothing store at the time. It’s a woman’s rodeo hat.🤷♂️ Jimmy thought it would look good on stage. It did.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🥃
Back in the day there was'nt many any better than Jimmy Martin.This was the best version of this song that I have ever heard I love it could listen to it everyday such a great sound and harmony Kenny Ingram really put his all into his playing and singing.Jimmy Martin was the King of Bluegrass.
My Dad dated a girl that was a bluegrass station DJ. According to her, Jimmy Martin, upon meeting her for the first time, asked for some trim. My feelings for him are, shall we say, muted.
Well honestly Jimmy was kinda of a rebel in bluegrass he drank smoked cussed and fought all the time that was the reason he didn’t get to the opry but no of that matters he loved Jesus and was the best singer and entertainer of True Grass in history now I love Big Mon(the father of bluegrass)The Stanley Bros and Larry Sparks but Jimmy was the King for a reason
Better question. Who has watched this video a 100 times (at least) BEFORE seeing the Mike Bub vid and his mention of it? Still waiting on Otis to post that Amazing Grace on the pipes beside Earl’s grave in the twilight tho.
@SOTHISISDEMOCRACY , Carter was very good and I love all His and Ralphs music! But Hands down Jimmy Martin Was the best Singer and and his music had so much drive!! Jimmy's guitar playing and RUNS was second to NONE!!!!!
I knew Jimmy and he had a kind heart and soul. His voice was the richest and smoothest ever to sing and was God given. Rest in peace Jimmy and God bless you!
Jimmy Martin was a major force in bluegrass music. He could have been a super star in country and bluegrass had it not been for his personality. It's a shame because his recordings are among the greatest ever made.
What a marvelous video of one of the greatest Bluegrass entertainers we've ever known. The impeccable mandolin work by the great Ronnie Prevette defined Martin's music for years. This is such a treat to view. Thanks for sharing!!
You go bwjr Jimmy was The King and Like Elvis to Rock n Roll, No One can ever bump him from that position. Jimmy had more heart in his little finger than most will ever see. May your soul rest in peace Jimmy and I pray you are sitting at the feet of our Sweet Jesus
(When he reached down his hand for me) Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way I was wretched and vile as could be But my Saviour in love gave me peace from above When he reached down his hand for me When he reached down his hand for me when he reached way down for me I was lost and undone without my God or his son When he reached down his hand for me I was near to despair when he came to me there And he showed me that I could be free Then he lifted my feet gave me gladness complete When he reached down his hand for me When he reached down...
You are correct. The Gift of Salvation is something you must accept into your heart. The gift of forgiveness of your sins being bought and paid for by Jesus Christ. Once that gift is receieved, you will live for the Lord.
Jimmy Martin was great and always had a great group of musicians.This song here showed how great they were.The banjo player I cant call his name right now played with Rhonda Vincent till just recently and replaced him his first name is Kenny but I cant think right now of his last name.

Jimmy Martin had incredible live performances.
I love this song and this performance. Thank you Jimmy and the boys!!!
Jimmy had that voice… best bluegrass voice I’ve ever heard. He can sing and physically change your emotions. A true legend and king 👑

They’re just jealous! Jimmy was the king 👑 of bluegrass….
Hands down doesn’t get enough credit
Who talks trash about Jimmy.? I will teach them a lesson
I went to my great uncle Jimmy Martins house growing up and I remember Ol Pete. He had a lot of dogs . He made me cry laughing everytime I saw Jimmy. He was the BEST !!!!!!
Really????
Hey Rhonda, I was down on 57 Easter Brothers had his bus sitting on the lot, I talked to someone there, he said go on board take a look, Jimmy was gone I did a walk around and left, I got some good vides just seeing it.
Did he take his dogs Coon hunt'in? Ha ha....
Ive heard this song 100 times going to church in southern Appalachia, good call
Made my hair stand up, give me goosebumps then the words took over made me cry like a baby. Thank you father for everything you’ve done for little me….praise you praise you
Yes it will made you cry very true amen
We are all small in comparison to G-d. The fact that He would sacrifice Himself in the Son Christ Jesus is a true testament of His love for us poor sinners. Thank you Jesus!
My dad drove Jimmy's tour bus for a while
Cool.... do you have any pics or stories to tell?
Grew up on church music like this. I know Jimmy was a Tennessee boy, but this makes me homesick for my old Kentucky home.
Nobody could sing like Jimmy.
Pure bluegrass gospel gold!
Thank you Jimmy and the boys...
Jimmy had some good stuff. My favorites: twenty twenty vision walking around blind. I can't quit cigarettes. Ocean of diamonds. Saw him embarrass a player who could not keep time. Stopped the show and told audience to take a good look at this old boy cause he won't be back. Man!
King of bluegrass JIMMY MARTIN
Jimmy Martin was a singer of gospel music one of the best
Beautiful. Remembering the early days of being saved.
Amen indeed!!
The best
He wears his hat like a KING. The Greatest singer in Bluegrass
It’s no coincidence that the very hat he wears in this video… is the one in the picture on his tombstone.
He bought it at Loretta Lynn’s clothing store at the time.
It’s a woman’s rodeo hat.🤷♂️
Jimmy thought it would look good on stage.
It did.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🥃
Perfection. Soul, technique and precision. Wow!
JESUS IS LORD N SAVOUR💜
What great music! Remember when my mom would listen to these same songs! Sadly, I do not hear such singing as this.
Man..... this just blesses my soul more than I can say. God bless you all....

Another great one from the King of Bluegrass! I miss Jimmy and his music a lot!
Who else is here because of the interview Otis Gibbs posted of Mike Bub?
Yes indeed, and I have been looking at John Hartford and Earl Scruggs too, not to mention Del and the boys…..
🙋🏻♂️yes
Better question. Who has watched this video a 100 times (at least) BEFORE seeing the Mike Bub vid and his mention of it? Still waiting on Otis to post that Amazing Grace on the pipes beside Earl’s grave in the twilight tho.
Now, THAT was SOME singing!
the best blue grass singer

This would bring a tear to a glass eye 😔
@SOTHISISDEMOCRACY , Carter was very good and I love all His and Ralphs music! But Hands down Jimmy Martin Was the best Singer and and his music had so much drive!! Jimmy's guitar playing and RUNS was second to NONE!!!!!

Jimmy Martin was a major force in bluegrass music. He could have been a super star in country and bluegrass had it not been for his personality. It's a shame because his recordings are among the greatest ever made.
Can you expound on his personality? There are truly great men who don't fit the mold of what the world wants. I know this from vast experience!
What a marvelous video of one of the greatest Bluegrass entertainers we've ever known. The impeccable mandolin work by the great Ronnie Prevette defined Martin's music for years. This is such a treat to view. Thanks for sharing!!
Amen!
This is possibly my favorite song by him
SigP229R yessssssss
My favorite Jimmy Martin song is whichever Jimmy Martin song I'm listening to at the time!

Awesome just awesome ole Jimmy could sing it
What awesome blending vocals and music. Love this immensely.
That is great soul singing!
Very easy to get pitchy singing that opening verse. The King, of course, nailed it.
You go bwjr Jimmy was The King and Like Elvis to Rock n Roll, No One can ever bump him from that position. Jimmy had more heart in his little finger than most will ever see. May your soul rest in peace Jimmy and I pray you are sitting at the feet of our Sweet Jesus
Amen. Jimmy is the King of Bluegrass.
Thanks Mike Bub .... great harmony.

Amen ❤
Praise the Lord of my soul. And thank you Jimmy for the mellifluous tunes.
Thanks and blessing he was truly great.
(When he reached down his hand for me)
Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way I was wretched and vile as could be
But my Saviour in love gave me peace from above
When he reached down his hand for me
When he reached down his hand for me when he reached way down for me
I was lost and undone without my God or his son
When he reached down his hand for me
I was near to despair when he came to me there
And he showed me that I could be free
Then he lifted my feet gave me gladness complete
When he reached down his hand for me
When he reached down...
You are correct. The Gift of Salvation is something you must accept into your heart. The gift of forgiveness of your sins being bought and paid for by Jesus Christ. Once that gift is receieved, you will live for the Lord.
It don't get any better than that

Jimmy was ever the Showman.
One of a kind pure bluegrass don't talk about him bad
well oiled
No, that was a well known fiddler named Johnny Dacus.who played with many of the bluegrass artists and bands of that time period.
Is that Tom Hanks playing the fiddle? LOL
Lol. If its not he'll probably play him in the movie lol
Colonel Parker! Lol
