Thanks to Saturday Night Live for introducing the world to Delbert McClinton back in 1979. While he was a regional star for many years by then, folks like me never heard of him until that show. My response was to immediately go buy two of his LP’s. I’ve been a fan ever since.
My dad loved this song. I can remember him listening to it and getting goosebumps in the evenings. He’s been gone almost 20 years and this song makes me feel like he was just here a moment ago.
We saw Del in ‘93 innThe Apple. He’s real. He’s the definition of American blues. He sings life in this country much akin to Merle Haggard. Two philosophers of the common man. He sings and performs in such a relaxed manner that the emotions are felt so dearly....
I heard this wonderful song by Delbert in Mexican climates several years ago. And until today I did not know who sings it so fantastically. From today, thanks to my journalist friend who played it today in his broadcast, I already know and know the title. World Championship. A wonderful breakup song, great melody, emotional lyrics, beautiful guitar solo. 3m above the sky. Delbert, the great champion.🙂🎸👍🎵🎵❤👏👏🥂🍒
great song, great melody, great lyrics...very catchy...Delbert is simply the best and it is obvious he loves to write songs, besides making the music....thanks Delbert..This song should have e been #1...also love Going back to Birmingham for the same reasons..!!!!!
This is one if my favorite songs now, heard it on FM 96 other night driving down the highway. Had to look it up to hear again. The lyrics, his voice, the Spanish sound, even the video is perfect. I told my new boyfriend when looking towards the woman next door, it's not Rita. She's gone. We laugh
Saw him and band at HOB in Myrtle Beach just after this song come out....opening second set, I asked him to play...he replied, we were not..but we are now. .. .awesome tune.. great artist for years...he and Bonnie were great together.
Never heard this till yesterday-excellent song and video.Delbert is 79 today,He's got a fairly small audience,but we're rabid!!!If you look closely,at 3:11,you'll see,in the drivers side windshield,there's a Mustang Club of America sticker there.

Delbert is one of the greats without question.

First time I hear this song. It´s amazing.

Alway difficult to decide my favorite Delbert song, this on contends.
Great song about feelings after a bad breakup.

Damn, this is one of my favorite songs of all time. Love it.
You don’t even need the video. Music tells the story. Love the song!
A latter day Marty Robbins, maybe even better.

It's better without the video!
A few years ago I had the privilege of meeting DELBERT at a private residence, he is the same in person as he on stage. Just a good old boy...
