He wrote this song to his brother because His brother was dying. He loved his brother even though his brother chose a harder life to live than Vince did. Us white folks use this song a lot at the funeral home as we send our kinfolk off hopefully to Heaven. I believe this song should be used at everybody's funeral not just white folks.
This is such a beautiful tribute to his brother! Vince has a one of a kind timeless voice just like Kenny Rogers ❤you are right this is hard to listen to without emotions taking over! RIP to all that have left us! 😢
He actually started writing it about Keith Whitney as they were good friends when Keith died and Vincent brother passed before he finished writing the song so he then wrote it about his brother and Keith whitley
Originally, the song was about Keith Whitley. The first verses reference Keith Whitley songs. It was left incomplete until his brother died and then it was finished and dedicated to him instead. What any of that has to do with white folks, is beyond me. Of course people that aren't white can use the song at funerals. They just don't because they either have never heard it, have other options or their loved one isn't being buried on a mountain!
Many have said that he wrote this song for his brother. He actually started writing this song after the death of country Superstar Keith Whitley. Keith drank himself to death and died from alcohol poisoning. The first verse pays respect to Keith when he says you were no stranger to the rain. One of Keith's biggest hits was a song called I'm no Stranger to the Rain. Vince didn't finish the song for many years until the passing of his brother. Yes Patty Loveless was the same female singer in the last video that you did.
About those harmonies, Tommy Chong said it best. "Kinda grabs you by the boo-boo, don't it?" These are all tops in their field! Such a great combo! Bless your heart, brother! Peace
That’s that bluegrass harmony singin’. This song has been played at every funeral I’ve ever been to. Next you should hear Vince’s duet with Reba McEntire “The Heart Won’t Lie.” Or “I Still Believe in You.” That’s probably his most popular song.
I heard that he wrote this after he lost his brother. I think of my loved ones who have passed every time I hear it and the sweet memories start to flow ❤️ Thanks for your reaction!
Wonderful reaction, imagine how many people this song has given strength, hope and love to, as they struggle through the steps of grief. I am one of those people 🙏
Vince Gill has an absolutely beautiful voice! For male voices…. It’s one of the prettiest voices ever. Lots of songs in his library, many are very upbeat. Definitely worth listening to more Vince Gill!!
I loved hearing your response to this song. Vince is such an excellent artist in everything he has done. I agree with you, the other two singing along with him are outstanding. In my youth in the early 70's I remember Vince Gill singing along with a little mountain band/country music group going by the name Pure Prairie League and they came out with a song called "Amy". You would be blessed to check our their album and/or their hit single "Amy" from that album. I have it still in my collection from my old college days. Please look it up. I think you would like it. It's a fun song with a snappy beat.
Oops, I spoke too soon. The song "Amie" came out in 1972 and Vince Gill didn't join the group till 1979. Love that album "Bustin' Out" . . . played it endlessly and followed many of the artists on that album who went on to other venture in their musical careers. Really, check our "Amie".
Originally was being written for his Friend and artist Keith Whitley. The reference. ' No stranger to the rain" was a Keith Whitley Hit song title. while in his writing he lost his brother. In this version you also got a real treat to hear the harmonies with Patti lovelace and Ricky Scaggs. Please find the works of Kieth Whitley. he was remarkable. Im no stranger to the rain, or When you say nothing at all. the hits he had were fantastic.
Back in the day he was part of Pure Prarie League. He has a "storied" solo career. For last several years, he sits in as part of the Eagles when they appear in concert. AND....Yes, he wrote this song.
He wrote the first part for his brother. When Keith Whitney died he took his grief again and finished the song. Vince is a very emotional person. I love this song.
Vince wrote this song in honor of his brother who had lived a troubled life and had passed. It's been sung at many a funeral and rightfully so. Just heard him and his lovely wife Amy Grant in Nashville over Christmas and it was fantastic! Such a talent, beautiful voice and just such a good guy. Great reaction! Keep going down this Vince Gill rabit hole my friend. You won't be disappointed.
Vince started in bluegrass at a young age. I was young also, when, i first seen him on stage. It was at a bluegrass festival, my stepfather, played banjo with another band.
you have to watch his tribute to George Jones at his funeral singing this.. Vince can't get through it..Patti Loveless carries him through the song.. if it don't make you tear up... you don't have a heart.
This is Perfection......... makes me cry every single time I watch it! You should react to them singing this at George Jones funeral!! Vince Gill and Patty Loveless Perform "Go Rest High On That Mountain" at George Jones' Funeral RIC DOLPHIN 14.4K subscribers Subscribe
Vince wrote this song originally for Keith Whitley when he died hence the no stranger to the rain, then finished the song later on for his brothers death.
Keith Whitley, one of the friends who inspired this song, had a huge hit “I’m No Stanger to the Rain". In true classic old country style, Keith died of bad moonshine.
Vince has sung this song with several people. But Patti Lovelace and Ricky Scaggs sound the best with Vince. Their voices just blend so well together. Patti Lovelace. Ricky Scaggs are artist in their own rights. Need to check Patti out.
Vince Gill started writing the song after the death of Keith Whitley, but couldn't finish it. A little time later, his brother died and he finished it then.
As a rule, I'm not big on country music, though there are a few voices that sometimes jump out at me. Vince Gill is definitely one of those. Another one is Allison Krouse. Has Greg ever vlogged her singing "When You Say Nothing At All"?
This was written for kieth Whitney. You weren't afraid to face the devil you were no stranger to the rain are lyrics and the name of kieth Whitney song. You should check out kieths"s song I'm no stranger to the rain. I think you'll like it.
I don't know if this is where you can submit requests, but please do, in my opinion, the most underrated country artist of the 90s, Collin Raye. "Love, Me" is a good one to start with. His voice is amazing!
Patty Loveless was in both songs you heard. You should check her out as well. You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive, How Can I Help You To Say Goodbye are a couple good ones to start with
Thats patty loveless abd rucky skaggs singing wuth him he wrote this fir his brother sbd Keith Whitley another singer whi lost his battle with alcohol there us a third verse now
I heard he started writing it because of his brother but didn’t finish it. Then when Keith Whitley died, Vince finished the song. That’s just what I read somewhere. 🤷🏻♀️
Patti Lovelace and Ricky Scaggs added so much to this song!
He wrote this song to his brother because His brother was dying. He loved his brother even though his brother chose a harder life to live than Vince did.

Amen 👏
Every funeral in my family has had this song played. Can't listen to it without crying ❤

Keith Whitley was the reason that Vince began writing this song. As a neighbor of Keith's hometown, he is still missed and never forgotten.
💕 Vince has the voice of an Angel. 🎶
We never know when our GOD will reach out and touch us.....thank YOU Greg for seeing, hearing, and feeling HIS power in this song!
He works in mysterious ways.... but it all is for a reason.. when its your time to go home to heaven... god will call you home.

I played this for my father on August 23, 2000… hardest day of my life, I still cry 24 years later.
Brother died in 1993. What an amazing and very special tribute. Ricky Scaggs is the greatest mandolin in country music history
Played this at my son's funeral. Always makes me cry.
Same.. 💔

That is Patty Loveless and the great Ricky Scaggs…. Ricky made his tv debut playing and singing bluegrass music at age 7…. Legend
I heard that he wrote this after he lost his brother. I think of my loved ones who have passed every time I hear it and the sweet memories start to flow ❤️ Thanks for your reaction!
Every funeral I’ve ever been to
Wonderful reaction, imagine how many people this song has given strength, hope and love to, as they struggle through the steps of grief. I am one of those people 🙏
Vince wrote that song he and patty are second to no one in harmony
He wrote this for his brother who'd passed away. So, yes his original work.
I've heard this 1000 times and I still cry when I hear it...❤
Vince Gill has an absolutely beautiful voice! For male voices…. It’s one of the prettiest voices ever. Lots of songs in his library, many are very upbeat. Definitely worth listening to more Vince Gill!!
Gives me chills every time I hear it So beautiful
Vince wrote this. It's his original. I love it.

I’ve heard it at many funerals.
Vince wrote this for his brother. Love his vocals.
There’s a great song by Patty Loveless you might like called “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am”. She the woman singing here with Vince and Ricky Skaggs.
Agreed. I was thinking of "You'll never leave Harlan Alive" too.
@@JustMe-vk4fn … Yeah, that’s another good one 😊.
Live version@@JustMe-vk4fn
Great harmonies. Vince wrote this song.
Vince gill did write this song .Vonnie ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vince Gill wrote the song.
I grew up listening to Bluegrass music. Vince, Patti and Ricky are 3 of the best voices.
Since this song was written by Vince, it is the most requested at funerals they say..excellent ..
He wrote the first part for his brother. When Keith Whitney died he took his grief again and finished the song. Vince is a very emotional person. I love this song.
He started it for Keith and finished after his brother passed.😊
@@heatherferg8980 You are correct!

😮very perceptive.... Yes he wrote it.
Beautiful!!! This trio, Allison Krause and Ricky .... Perfect!!!
It's Patty Loveless
It sounds very much like Southern Gospel to me. You're right.
Allison Krause & Ricky Skaggs join Vince Gill for this iconic song to remember Vince Gill's brother. Vince wrote this song.
That's Patty Loveless in the video and on the original recording. Alison does sing it with him sometimes when Patty is not available
Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs singing harmony... both great singers and Ricky an excellent musician.
Vince started in bluegrass at a young age. I was young also, when, i first seen him on stage. It was at a bluegrass festival, my stepfather, played banjo with another band.
you have to watch his tribute to George Jones at his funeral singing this.. Vince can't get through it..Patti Loveless carries him through the song.. if it don't make you tear up... you don't have a heart.
The other man is Ricky Skaggs, bluegrass, Country, gospel. Vince and Patty sang this at George Jones funeral and I cry every time I watch it
Home Frees version with video adds amazing grace.
He played this song at George jones funeral he had a hard time singing it because everyone loved George jones .thanks.Vonnie ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You need to watch him perform this at his close friend George Jones's funeral.
The girl is Patty Loveless who also sang with Vince on your previous reaction to him.
Baby, he wrote it ! Love You Man!
The lyrics are awesome and the vocals are outstanding. Beautiful song. ❤❤😂😂

My brother. You already knew when you started.
I would love to have this played at my funeral but it has "son" in it. It always reminds me of my brother ❤
That got me my aunt and dad both passed and we sang that for them both
Vince wrote this song originally for Keith Whitley when he died hence the no stranger to the rain, then finished the song later on for his brothers death.
So, Patty Loveless is singing with him on this, you gottacheck out her singing You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive! It will put chills on your body

If you think Vince Gill can sing, you should hear him play guitar. He's incredible
You asked if the song was written by Vince or a hymn, the answer is yes. May I suggest "No Future In The Past".
Vince Gill started writing the song after the death of Keith Whitley, but couldn't finish it. A little time later, his brother died and he finished it then.
He wrote it. His brother passed in tribute to him
As a rule, I'm not big on country music, though there are a few voices that sometimes jump out at me. Vince Gill is definitely one of those. Another one is Allison Krouse. Has Greg ever vlogged her singing "When You Say Nothing At All"?
He wrote the song for his brother who past away.
This was written for kieth Whitney. You weren't afraid to face the devil you were no stranger to the rain are lyrics and the name of kieth Whitney song. You should check out kieths"s song I'm no stranger to the rain. I think you'll like it.
I don't know if this is where you can submit requests, but please do, in my opinion, the most underrated country artist of the 90s, Collin Raye. "Love, Me" is a good one to start with. His voice is amazing!
Hes the original singer. i dont know if he wrote it. but hes the og who sang it
Patty Loveless was in both songs you heard. You should check her out as well. You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive, How Can I Help You To Say Goodbye are a couple good ones to start with

No he wrote this song about his brother that died.
I heard he started writing it because of his brother but didn’t finish it. Then when Keith Whitley died, Vince finished the song. That’s just what I read somewhere. 🤷🏻♀️
@@Butterflyandhearts95
You got it, hence the line you're no stranger to the rain, one of Keith's bigger hits
