This makes me think about my daddy. He had the LP on vinyl when i was a little girl. He played this song over and over. His name was John but his nickname was Buddy. He had a deep robust voice and would sing along . We lost daddy almost 3 yrs ago to brain cancer ,2 days before his 78th birthday. RIP Big John 🙏💔😪

Who could have guessed how good a sausage this man would go on to make?
Such a great and underrated song.
Underrated? This song did pretty well
Nah I know what you mean by underrated. In today’s collective consciousness it goes largely unnoticed
Great song yes, maybe not as recognized today as it should be, BUT, definitely not underrated- If I am correct I think that this was the first country hit to go gold.
Underrated pretty much means not recognized today. The only people who know of this song are people my grandparents and parents ages. And those of us who listen to nothing but classic country from way back when.
@@bigoldinosaur What underrated {actually} means is rated below its value. With that in mind, we see the word, underrated misused constantly in these comment sections. Is it largely forgotten? Yes, but that's not the same thing. However, it is still tragic that we should forget these great stories and their tellers.
My Mom & Dad, met Mr. Jimmy Dean back in the early 1950's, when Mr. Dean was just beginning his singing career!! I understand Mr. Dean not only had a good voice, he was also a true Southern gentlemen & enjoyed personally meeting the people who came to see Mr. Dean perform!! I know he's in Heaven with my Lord God & my Mom& Dad!!
This is an all-time classic! Big John.
Indeed, my dad used to play this song to me when I was little. I have never forgotten it.
@@johnpadilla4661 me too. Its a classic🏋️. No one can sing it like Jimmy Dean🎶
Being 19 in 2019 and listening to this kind of music, ain't got me popular in school. But damn who needs that when you got this kind of art.
Yeah, and real creativity and talent in music today has drifted away.
oliver sommer 😂❤️♥️❤️
Im 18 and this is one of my favorites. Right there with you
Modern music is nothing compared to what it was like back in the old
P.S. I recently started high school and when I talk 'bout this type of music nobody knows what on Earth I'm talking 'bout
Haha. Look at me guys, I’m so cool and quirky. I don’t listen to other songs like these OTHER teenagers, haha pay attention to me.
I'm latin american, born and raised in Puerto Rico. Moved to Ohio two years ago and met a guy at my job that for some reason thinks of this son every time he sees me; I had to look it up. I'm not tall, by any means, people call me John since I can remember and my name tag reads "John" not Juan. Long story short, here I am, loving this beautiful and masterful story. I just wish I could visit the 60s for a couple hours. This was great!
the art of story-telling is long gone
@@gamer-gd8mu true
@@gamer-gd8mu The only hoes in rap like this are used for digging up dirt. I can't stand modern rap.
Amen. I still have my parent's old record album of Johnny Appleseed. And I love listening to it.
@@gamer-gd8mu lmao
look up stonesoup story telling in the usa, they have great story tellers, my granddaughter participates once a year locally. FUN!
I'm 50 ,when I was young my dad and his best friend had a bar in the basement......this song was one I know and still enjoy
I loved this song when I first heard it and 40 years later same thing!!
grew up a few blocks from the deans, who were friends with my parents. when he was making the movie "diamonds are forever" he played a character originally named willard white. dean went to the producers and requested that the character have a change of name -- or at least the spelling thereof. it was a great surprise to see the movie for the first time and behold our family name in large letters atop the "Whyte House," a large hotel owned by the willard whyte character. a thoughtful gesture by dean that i have the pleasure of revisiting every time i watch the movie -- even some 50 years later.
That's pure raw talent. 2 B&W cameras, a mic, small rhythm section and chorus....and Mr. Dean.
What a charmer. Awesome song.
I love this old music, it tells a great story
My "pop" always had this "45" playing........Didn't appreciate back then.......great song!
It always makes me cry. ❤
This was the soul of old country music, the storytellers. Today’s country music has no storytelling thus no soul. RIP Jimmy Dean
Thank you for having a live version of this song. Excellent.
I sing or hum this song when eating Jimmy Dean Sausage, both my Fav YUM!!
Me too
i love this even though it was way before my time 😁😂😍
WOW! I used to sing this when I walked to grade school. Thanx for the Treasure!
I've loved that song for sixty years. :)
I always loved this song by Jimmy Dean.
I got a Big John, He's My Son. 6'6" 260... Nicest guy you would ever want to Meet.
I used to work in a warehouse with a "Big John" type. I'll never forget him. I had a cousin who was *definitely* in this category. I'd tell you all about *him* "but I'd have to kill you". I have a current pal ( one of the few remaining but I'd trust him with my life ) also in the category. A former firefighter ( what a surprise huh? ). Last, but not least, is my former Vietnam Conflict combat veteran pal. He's in a whole different category of humanity. I've been very fortunate in coming into contact with some rather amazing characters during my life.
I have one too, only it's Big Brad....My son 6'8" 250.
Ron Farinetti how old is he cause I'm 16. Six foot eight and 297 and I'm nice and stuff... Although everyone calls me the Mexican chewbacca
Prestige Sn1p3r 😊
My Dad’s favorite song! He was only 5’9 but we respected him! No lip from us!! Sure do miss him!
One of my Dad's old favs...gonna perfect this classic at some point.
Saw him Live in 1972 our 1st anniversary. Very nice gentleman with a great voice. Left us too soon. RIP
Rest In Peace jimmy dean
"Ahh, Big Bad John" = priceless
We named a dog after this song. He lived for 17 years and had a big heart.
Thank you so much Mr. Dean for classics like this and others we can look back on in times where strength is needed.
One of my Dad's favourites, fantastic song
YUP! First times I remember hearing this song, sittin' in the back of a big 'ol '68 Cadillac.....my mom stopped, rolled her window down, and spoke at length with a friend, while I wasn't making a sound, her friend noticed the tears streaming from my eyes and exclaimed "Jesus, what's wrong with the kid?"....mom said "Oh, she's just sad about this song".....I couldn't have been more than five, or six.....Proud of who that little girl was.....and she hasn't changed!
I am so glad we have footage like this still around. When hummanity fails, this will remind the next race on this world that not all humans were hopeless ;)
Always loved this song. Maybe 'cause my father was 6'6" and never took any lip from his four children.
My Father is 5’9” and he didn’t take any lip either
My dad John was 5’8” and he took no lip either! This was his favorite song!
my dad was gone
I remember the good old days back in bc, when if you're kids were bad you could cut their arms off
This is another song that always makes me cry, I must be far more sentimental than I originally thought! Partly because my own John was - well, called John - but also I've always felt how lonely Big John must have been, poor chap. He would have benefited from a good chat with a mate, or someone taking him out for a meal, or something.
This was one of my favorite song's when I was real young. I loved some movies he played in also.
Our shift used to sing along to this song at work. I still know the entire lyric.
I listened to this on a record in prob 1975, when I learned how to use a record player, he still rocks
Love this song
love this song Grew up with it use to listen to it on my 45 record in the 60's
me too, didn't know at the time how hard it would become to get hold of the 45 again:-(
i have a the 7" record that my nan played to me as a child in the 80s :). (it belonged to my aunt and has her name written on the sleeve.) a different upload on youtube has surprisingly good quality which was apparently from a 7" record.
makes me cry every time
Just simply tge best version ever....I remember when i heard this song I was 7, and had a big bad uncle John but loved him......
I like me very much this song for jimmy dean. Congratulations from CHILE 🇨🇱🇨🇱 AGOSTO 2020
Love it!
i use to love this song when i was young...still makes me smile..:)
What a great ole Classic
You have to wonder how many times Jimmy Dean sang this song on the Jimmy Dean Show, as shown here.
1 of my faves from my childhood when i was 5/6 years old also mother of mine
So deam Good looking Jimmy ♥️❤️♥️
I see this as a "Unplugged" version of "Big John"....I love it!
my father stood 6'8" and worked at American Can Co. He was a lithographer. He helped designed the color scheme for STP oil treatment, hunts tomato and several others. He kept the original plates at home and everyone called him "Big John" or JB. He liked to listen to this song. Brings back so many memories.
pat rowell LOVE stories like this, Thanks 😊👍
I love the way he says big John!
Jimmy Dean was a delightful entertainer in so many ways. Deservedly called America's Favorite Son. Still listen to many of his fine recordings, and really appreciate this upload (Thanks!).
My mom met Jimmy dean once in the late 60s. Got his autograph. Wish she kept it
Great song!
What a hottie! The way he walked up so smoothly with so much swagger, my heart just skipped a beat💗
One of my favorite songs!!!! Thank You.
Wow...back when music was real!
Our 4 year old daughter and 7 month old son love this song. Our boy will completely calm down from a fit if this is played.
What a classic.
The real lyrics at the end are At the bottom of this pit lies one hell of a man, big John. But the television censors wouldn't allow him to say hell. So he changed it to a big, big man. Hey, it was 1961!
no that's not the "real" lyrics that's Johnny Cash's version.
+Eric Chapman Really. Watch Big Bad John- Jimmy Dean 2008 here 9n UA-cam.
FUN FACT: I knew before you said anything
He says hell halfway through lol wat
I bet their logic was if you use Hell as a noun it’s acceptable, but no one is to use Hell as an adjective...cept John
I always envision this tale and in my mind Big John is Jimmy Dean.
A legend ol' James Dean.
My father always big John cause I'm 6'5 and I weigh 255 pounds and I'm one of the most nice polite person you'd ever meet
I love this song.. i love all the old songs.. im prob one of the few 40 year olds that cruise the summer roof open windows down these good old songs blaring lol
loved this guy
First time I've seen this, singing along, in the bath lol. 👍👍👍
This make me think of my grandparents
Big Hell of a Man.
Love this
How many folks know that he wrote a sequel called "Cajun Queen" and it has a happy ending? ☺
My boss sang this song today and couldn't believe I'd never heard it.
And to think it was sausage magnate Jimmy Dean.

👍 old 🏫 song! Still listening May 2020
My dad use to sing this to me because my name is john
Good song , love this always
One of my most favorite possessions is an autograph given to me by Jimmy Dean himself. My name is John, and all of my life since about the age of 6 my family has called be "Big Bad John" - I was HUGE at an early age. Never quite hit the height of big John, he was 6'6", I am 6'5. I was over 6 foot at the age of 11. As a kid I loved the song and it inspired a life long love of country music- as an adult the first song that I did in front of an audience was of course "Big Bad John"! Anyway, many years ago I wrote a letter to Jimmy Dean, thanked him for the music, told him my story and told him what an impact his music had on my life, even sent him a tape of my own cover of "Big Bad John". I didn't ask for anything in return in my letter, it was just a thank you letter, never expected to hear back from him. Anyway, a few weeks after I had sent that letter there was a large manila envelope in my mailbox one day, I pulled it out and the return address was stamped with "Jimmy Dean Enterprises". I opened it up, and there was a nice letter from the man himself inside, and an 8x10 autographed photo that read "TO BIG BAD JOHN -Jimmy Dean". To say I was thrilled would be an understatement! What a great guy!
It's sooo good :)))
I wonder if there’s a version where he says he stood 5’6” and weighed 145.... I’d walk everywhere with that playing behind me
What a great video, to see Jimmy LIVE.! Here is my story from 1961. BIG BAD JOHN. In 1961 I was age 17, and a radio station in Bakersfield , CA, had a contest DRAW BIG BAD JOHN. I won! My mom kept the drawings put away for all these years. At some point, over 20 years ago, I had to clean out her apt. I found the drawings. I put them in a box with all her things. Now, it was time to discard things. Hard to do emotionally. I found the drawings again. Go to FACEBOOK, look me up. LOUIS VELASQUEZ. There, I posted those 2 drawings from 1961. A great time to be a teenager....Elvis, Ritchie Valens ( my hero) , Buddy Holly, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and JIMMY DEAN.-- RIP.
This song reminds me of my father who was called big John he never started a fight but when he hit them their faces would split he was a good man
Thank You.
I’m 10 and listening to music from the 80s to the 50s
The Jordanaires were the original back up voices. Great group.
this is my favorite song Jimmy Dean!
Great song.
I have an operations manager in the warehouse I work at. He looks like Jimmy Dean, but his name is john. Here's the kicker, we're in Louisiana too maybe an hour from New Orleans
how times have changed
LOVE.!!!
bravo
This was fun to watch, and hear. In the third grade, I got a record player for Christmas, along with a few 45rpm records. This was one of them. I still have the record in the photo cover/sleeve. They are both in very good condition. Of course, on the record he says something else was written on that marble stand.
Loving the brows
Thank you for posting this! Nowadays he is known for the country sausages and breakfast entrees his company produces.
