Hi Marty how are you doing. I'm Patti from California. I hope you are safe and in good health? Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. Hope you don't mind please.
Pure talent. I have heard him sing this live. He told a story about writing this song, about his son missing him when he was away from home touring with the Statler brothers. And the guilt he felt about being away on the road performing. God Bless.
Years ago I believed the Statlers would never be able to replace Lew and continue on and I'm glad to say I was so wrong way back then. Jimmy Fortune is and has always been absolutely wonderful. Love him and love the music he is still producing. Such a talented man.
My aunt died in 2015. She once was a great singer, the years of smoking took her voice eventually took her life. We use to sing along to this so many times, then she'd just listen to me and chime in here and there. I miss her so much.
This performance is classic country at its best .. from the talented instrumentalist to one of the best and overlooked voices of all time. My favorite.
You're having second thoughts I can tell by the way you look at me I can tell by what I see you no longer believe in me I'm havin' bad dreams can't seem to get back to where we used to be Sometimes it feels like we're worlds apart And I've got too much on my heart I've got too much on my heart and I don't like to feel the pain And I don't know where to start to make you love me once again I don't have time to make you understand Lord this thing is gettin' out of hand Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart Don't be so cold to me I know you've changed but it's still hard for me It's too late I realize I can see it in your distant eyes You needed all of me but I can't be there like I used to be And Lord it's tearin' me apart I got too much on my heart I've got too much on my heart and I don't like to feel the pain And I don't know where to start to make you love me once again I don't have time to make you understand Lord this thing is gettin' out of hand Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart
I have too much on my heart but it has nothing to do with earthly things. It only has to do with my heart for Jesus and Heaven. I know where to start to make my life right again. Pain shoots through me like a dart Lord I have to much on my heart. It's not to late Lord you give us your everlasting love and a way to restart. You are never cold to us you allow us a place in your heart. I can be there for you always because you have the most loving heart. You never make us feel pain you give us your heart so we always know where to start. I have time for you to make me understand it never gets out of hand. Pain shoots me like a dart because of your ever-loving heart. Praise our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit that never gives us too much to stand on our hearts. Thank you Trinity.
This is one of the best vocalist that I have heard in a long time, and while he was with the Statler Brothers he has gone a long ways in his singing carrier.
Bobby Brown help me please. I'd like to know more artists like him. I know about Vince Gill. Please tellme more. Thanks. No pop country please. I love the pedal steel guitar. Im 23 years old.
Jimmy..thank you so much for all those years with the Statlers...plz know this..that there's not another voice close to yours..that has the sound you release from your heart and soul...May God above continue to be with you....I hope to sing with you in Heaven. .when that day comes...I'm sure I'll never get to so down here.
marge ware. He should have done more of this style of country music as a solo career and just a little less gospel , maybe then he would have got more of the recognition he so richly deserved. Such a superb voice.
Jimmy is an exceedingly humble man and would never think for a moment that he was cheated of anything. As a matter of fact, when he is praised he gives glory to God and all the people around him who helped. He lives what he sings about so well.
This song gets me every time I hear it. I know exactly what it feels like when they sing Don’t be so cold to me ,and you needed all of me. Some people can’t give all of themselves. What great lyrics. ❤❤
what a gifted voice......Roy and Jimmy were at the front of the line when God handed out soulful tenor voices...... thanks for posting this brotherhamlet
Saw Jimmy in Branson. What a great show ! After, Jimmy took pictures with ALL that wanted one AND, signed every autograph asked for. Very friendly man. And, a rare talent. Thanx Jimmy......
The song Jimmy wrote I Believe means the world to me. I was with my mom when she passed. The second virse is what I felt also. It makes me cry but I can't stop listening to it . it means a lot to me. Thank you Jimmy love you
Always loved the Statler Brothers but I fell in love with them all over again when Jimmy joined them. I'm so sorry they retired. I understand it was time for them but they were great with Jimmy. Would have loved to hear them several more years.
+Custom Wedding Garter The Statlers were started with the help of Lew DeWitt, one of the founders. He struggled with Crohn's disease from his youth and had to retire in 1982. He died 8-15-1990 and Jimmy became the tenor for the group until they also retired in 2002.
The voice I've been waiting for. I'm trying to compair it to Randy Meisner of the Eagles. Both can hit the high notes for sure. Lovely song, lovely words. Love from Scotland XX
Their version of I believe is so powerful.,eventhough I am an Atheist ,the musician and song writer in me adores this song, so well written, arranged and performed ..
THE STATLER BROTHERS OWE JIMMY EVERYTHING FOR A LONG TIME. HE MADE THE GROUP AS POPULAR AS THEY WERE AND ARE. JIMMY HAS ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICES EVER. I SURE HOPE HE'S IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME ALL BY HIMSELF, BECAUSE HE SURE SHOULD BE.
Many a year from now when the Lord comes for you---YOU will be singing for the Lord---I think he made you just for himself. You are such a special person and wonderful singer.--Love to you and your family--Linda===From Oregon
I love this song it’s always in my mind but I have other things on my heart ,I’m so glad you found a woman that loves you and takes care of you God Bless you!!
Most Definitely ! His voice is superior to most of the voices in Nashville and any other genre of music ! Jimmy has the voice of an Angel and can sing anything ! He definetley doesen’t get the recognition he deserves !
Edward Joyce oh yeah thx, he's written some great ones. Little wonder the Statlers hired him with such talent. Great song! Also seem him on a few Gaither vids "Homecoming" series. mosrite60
The most underrated vocalist in country music, and gospel music. And not to mention as a song writer. I've been a big fan of him for over 40 years.
jimmy fortune is one of the best singers there ever was or will be , what a beautiful voice!
Hi Marty how are you doing. I'm Patti from California. I hope you are safe and in good health? Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. Hope you don't mind please.
Truth! His voice is Pure Honey.
What a performer Jimmy Fortune is .One of the best !
Jimmy Fortune is one of the lesser recognized truly great singers. What a beautiful voice!
JIMMY FORTUNE, ONE OF THE BEST LOVE TO HEAR HIM SING
Think he sang with the Gaither Gospel Choir.
He is very good .
He sang with Statler Bros.
No body can go as high as he does, with the power he has, and still be so smooth. Not a bit nasal. Just pure melody every note.
Maybe Vince Gill
@@PattyyBarton-td7fcJimmy’s better than Vince. More power.
@@PattyyBarton-td7fcis
I can’t get enough of this song
He is just perfect. He wrote this song about his son who was estranged at the time. He has such a wonderful voice. I love him and his music❤
Pure talent. I have heard him sing this live. He told a story about writing this song, about his son missing him when he was away from home touring with the Statler brothers. And the guilt he felt about being away on the road performing. God Bless.
The best tennior singer I have heard can make a tear in eany heart, joel k vle nc
I've always loved your voice, God richly blessed you with it and you're blessing everyone with it.
That dude can flat out sing!! a small package with a big voice!! powerful song!! love it!! sure can relate!!
Years ago I believed the Statlers would never be able to replace Lew and continue on and I'm glad to say I was so wrong way back then. Jimmy Fortune is and has always been absolutely wonderful. Love him and love the music he is still producing. Such a talented man.
I thought the same thing, what a talent
Unbelievable to me that any person could thumbs down this incredible song😳

A voice of pure Gold
RIPPED MY HEART.
I love Jimmy's singing and song writing.
Hello Kenneth how are you doing
Saw him this summer in concert. He sounds just as good live and such a sweet man. I could listen to him for hours.
My aunt died in 2015. She once was a great singer, the years of smoking took her voice eventually took her life. We use to sing along to this so many times, then she'd just listen to me and chime in here and there. I miss her so much.
This performance is classic country at its best .. from the talented instrumentalist to one of the best and overlooked voices of all time. My favorite.
What a voice this man has. Sings with so much emotion brings me to tears.
Thanks so much for posting this.
Streaming down my face....
He sings like it takes no effort at all. So natural. Just a fantastic talent.
IKR? Like it's so easy for him. I don't know how he does it.
You're having second thoughts I can tell by the way you look at me
I can tell by what I see you no longer believe in me
I'm havin' bad dreams can't seem to get back to where we used to be
Sometimes it feels like we're worlds apart
And I've got too much on my heart
I've got too much on my heart and I don't like to feel the pain
And I don't know where to start to make you love me once again
I don't have time to make you understand
Lord this thing is gettin' out of hand
Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart
Don't be so cold to me I know you've changed but it's still hard for me
It's too late I realize I can see it in your distant eyes
You needed all of me but I can't be there like I used to be
And Lord it's tearin' me apart
I got too much on my heart
I've got too much on my heart and I don't like to feel the pain
And I don't know where to start to make you love me once again
I don't have time to make you understand
Lord this thing is gettin' out of hand
Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart
Pain shoots through me like a dart and I've got too much on my heart
I have too much on my heart but it has nothing to do with earthly things. It only has to do with my heart for Jesus and Heaven. I know where to start to make my life right again. Pain shoots through me like a dart Lord I have to much on my heart. It's not to late Lord you give us your everlasting love and a way to restart. You are never cold to us you allow us a place in your heart. I can be there for you always because you have the most loving heart. You never make us feel pain you give us your heart so we always know where to start. I have time for you to make me understand it never gets out of hand. Pain shoots me like a dart because of your ever-loving heart. Praise our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit that never gives us too much to stand on our hearts. Thank you Trinity.
Jimmy's right up there with Vince in the Tenor section for sure. Loved him with the Statlers and as a solo.
Second to none , what a voice .
Vince who? Lol
Brian Wilkinson 4 sure!!! Man what vocals he has!!
I'm going through a divorce and play this DAILY!!!
dinamariepope Hope everything works out for you! Just keep your head up sweetie you’re a beautiful girl!
This is one of the best vocalist that I have heard in a long time, and while he was with the Statler Brothers he has gone a long ways in his singing carrier.
Country music needs to sound like this Today!!
Tremendous singer with golden voice. Unfortunately they're either gone, or not longer perform. Those were the days🌟🎩
Absolutely brilliant singer and songwriter!
Jimmy Fortune has a voice that no one will ever compare to.He sings from his heart and soul!And know matter what sings it is AWSOME!!!

Bobby Brown help me please. I'd like to know more artists like him. I know about Vince Gill. Please tellme more. Thanks. No pop country please. I love the pedal steel guitar. Im 23 years old.

Another singer that was cheated out of deserved recognition. he was great with the Statler Bros and just as good as a solo singer
marge ware.
He should have done more of this style of country music as a solo career and just a little less gospel , maybe then he would have got more of the recognition he so richly deserved. Such a superb voice.
He has been recognized by the ONE who really counts!
Yes
I still think he’s great 💋
Yes he is a GREAT singer. Beautiful Voice
Jimmy is an exceedingly humble man and would never think for a moment that he was cheated of anything. As a matter of fact, when he is praised he gives glory to God and all the people around him who helped. He lives what he sings about so well.

Unbelievable that anyone could thumb down this Beautiful Voice,
Maybe someone expected all the Statlers, only reason I could see any objection to such a great song. Somebody was jealous!
This is a fabulous song. I just adore it and the late Statler brothers, shame they retired,😢😢😢😢
Still today he's an awesome singer as he was back then ♡🎶
Always loved the Statler Brothers but I fell in love with them all over again when Jimmy joined them. I'm so sorry they retired. I understand it was time for them but they were great with Jimmy. Would have loved to hear them several more years.
