I'm a black man and this is one of my favorite songs It brings good memories in my life and every time I hear it, I think about the good times of my childhood. There are certain artist regardless of color that you can relate too. Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Bill Anderson, and Mel Tillis are so few that I really can listen too. Music is music and it passes all barriers when it comes to good music.
hi mightywarrier, am filled with goose bumps all over, it was my dad's top fav song and i grew up with such great legends n wonderful music in d early sixties wen i was just 4-5 yrs old . i lost my dad 2 yrs back n now on finding this song just now got a rush of feelings. i am sandeep in dubai. tks to bob ( i think) for posting. thank u sooo very much.
I have met Ferlin Huskey. He is the cousin of a very good friend of mine. My favorite somg of his is "On the wWngs of a Dove" He is a man who stands up for what he believes and won't play ball with the Nashville elite's greed.
Ferlin you still sing Gone very good and love to see you some day soon. Live close to you to and I feel close to you as long as I am old I have heard about some of your childhood days. I am 60 now and was born on Sept. 4th 1947. I had polio when I was 7. So stay healthy ok with my love I send.
What a wonderful voice and terrific song. First heard it sung my Frankie Ford & liked it. Frankie told me that it was Ferlin Husky's song. I am glad to hear that Ferlin Husky was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He sounds great.
What a wonderful performance of that great song.It shows you what a fine singer Husky was right to the end.That is a very difficult song for anyone to perform,let alone a man that age.But Ferlin was the real deal. God Bless,Ferlin! And thanks for leaving behind those gorgeous songs,they'll live forever.
Ferlin is one of the greatest country singers who ever lived and I'm priveledged to have contact with him and Miss Leona. He's a true gentleman, and a good christian man. NOBODY can sing GONE like Ferlin! Modern singers may sing it, but it'll never match his version! Congrats to Ferlin on the Hall induction. IT'S ABOUT TIME!
The voice. beautiful. I remember my dad playing songs like this early morning wen the skies are turning blue, i was around 12 yrs old. Thanks to my dad at 21 i'm very appreciative of artist like Ferlin husky.
One of the most underated singers that needs to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame but the powers that be wont make it happen while Ferlin is still around to enjoy it.
@OriginalBurton Ferlin made it into the Hall of Fame before he passed away. He was great and I try to watch everything on you tube and other places he has done. There are very few Country Music singers today this good, what a talent.
I can still see him in a rockin roll movie I recorded long long ago! He was the most amazing man. Beautiful to look at & a voice that could make a woman swoon. I miss him. And yes he was underrated. The timber of his voice just skids along your bones.
What a great memory.. I fell in love with this one in my early teens playing on Chattanooga Radio I ordered a 45 of it, this was my first 45 of many...
Ferlin Husky passed away at his home yestreday at the age of 85. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame last year. A spokeswoman for theHall said he had a history of heart problems and ailments associated with it.
It is rare for any singer to record a classic that will be played as long as there is an appreciation for great vocals. This is his gift to us; his classic.
I think when this hit became famous, was when he went from Terry Preston back to Ferlin Husky. Loved him then Love him still. I am so glad he has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, while he is still her to enjoy the honor!!!
CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!! You finally made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011!!!! It was only a matter of time!!! All the best - and thanks for the wonderful memories!!!
This man did the best show i have ever seen in Jacksonville,Fl. He did himself for 30 min. then did Elvis for 30 min. then did Simon Crum for 30 minutes. He had to stop due to time limits.
One of the greatest songs ever written. Another version that I dearly love is the one by Joey Heatherton in the early 70s. It's a little "Vegas" (but, hey, that's who she was at the time), but it's brilliant.
Just for you Ferlin: a dear friend of mine was in a bind for a show she had to do and needed someone to help her mime a song by you. I was the closest thing to grab to help her, and so I suddenly got into learn to mime to one of your songs. Luckily It did not give me stage fright, but it was a joke to begin with, so it was an easy "do". The audience loved it and she got invited to do a repeat performance. She was a hoot to begin with and it was really fun to do. That was my intro to Ferlin, thank you. I'm not sure I could pull it off today but I have been a fan of yours ever since. But because of this show I became a regular for being a supporter of the entertainment of our servicemen. I even got to go to Germany as an officer's wife and my husband also entertained so I got to contribute again. Thanks again to my short stint as a mime doing Ferlin Husky. Who knew?
On this date in 1957 {Mar. 2nd} "Gone" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it would peaked at #4 and spent 27 weeks in the Top 100... Ranked 23rd on Billboard's Year-End Hot 50 Singles of 1968 chart... Reached #1 {for 10 weeks} on Billboard's Country chart & spent 27 in the Country Top 100... Actress Joey Heatherton's 1972 covered version peaked at #24... Ronnie McDowell reached #36 in 1980 on Billboard's Country chart...
@ChurchPianistFL As with many other artists from Bakersfield, I feel Nashville has been slow to recognise Any Country artist thats not right under their nose. Jean Shepard was only elected THIS year, where have they been looking? I think they are very short sighted and uneven in their selections, missing many deserving ones and recognising others too early. Does anyone know what the criterier is for selection, please?
@jbash1970 he was inducted in 2010 along with Billy Sherrill (producer and songwriter, the man responsible for giving us Miss Tammy Wynette) , Jerry Reid, Jimmy Dean and Don Williams

one of the most humble country stars of all time.......his music stars with humility too..

His great voice was still as strong here as it ever was.
Thanks, Bob Ford, for uploading this one. Fantastic.
One of the best
What a wonderful voice and terrific song. First heard it sung my Frankie Ford & liked it. Frankie told me that it was Ferlin Husky's song. I am glad to hear that Ferlin Husky was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He sounds great.
What a singer that man was!!!
I agree with many folks ,He got better as he got older. so Beautiful
Grew up listening to his music and still love it Thank you Mr Husky for the memories

God Bless,Ferlin! And thanks for leaving behind those gorgeous songs,they'll live forever.
Still sounds exactly the same as 1959, voice hasn't changed a bit, incredible!

I just play it over and over and over. Never got tired of hearing Ferlin.😊❤

Still can sing. Always loved this man and his songs

Ferlin left us March 17, 2011. Heaven sounds sweeter, but Country Music is a lonelier world.
What a great memory.. I fell in love with this one in my early teens playing on Chattanooga Radio I ordered a 45 of it, this was my first 45 of many...
no body could sing like Ferlin ..have always loved him.Gone is the best song ever
I have been a country Music lover all my life. Love Ferlin and his songs. My kids cut their teeth on country music and still listen to it..lol
I was a real thrill to back this man up on Steel Guitar. He was a class act. We recorded this at 2am. His plane was delayed. This was for a PBS show.
Sounds great for 2am. Great Job!!. RIP. Ferlin.
Brother you did a great job!!!!
One of my favorites. RIP, Mr. Husky. We will miss you, but you leave your songs with us.

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!! You finally made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011!!!! It was only a matter of time!!!
All the best - and thanks for the wonderful memories!!!
One of my all-time favorites from the first time I heard it in 1957.
Just simply a great Country Artist..!!!
I remember him as a favorite of my momma's. Still had a great voice.
This was just beautiful! May he rest in peace and his voice will live on and on!
This man was awe-inspiring. He could convey emotion in his voice in ways few people can.
He got better as he got older one off Americas best!
Amazing ARTIST! What a song, what a performer!!!!!
one of the greatest songs in the sixties,oh so nice great memories
Gone and Wings of Dove are my favorites by Ferlin. His was one of the early cross-overs from country to Top-40. One of the best.
beautiful voice . rip Ferling good old days
Last week my mother in law died. I played Wings of a Dove for my wife and her sisters, and it helped with their grief. His music will impact eternity.
One of the few country songs to make it on Bandstand way back in '57 or '58.
Fran Xavier Fran, I remember! It was in '57. Good call.
Get well Ferlin. Your songs and you will always be a part of our lives....THANK YOU
his voice has not changed! since he was gone, his voice still sounds professional.
Great song, pure country!!
This man did the best show i have ever seen in Jacksonville,Fl. He did himself for 30 min. then did Elvis for 30 min. then did Simon Crum for 30 minutes. He had to stop due to time limits.

I saw Feeling Husky about thirty years ago in Kenosha Wis
One of the greatest songs ever written. Another version that I dearly love is the one by Joey Heatherton in the early 70s. It's a little "Vegas" (but, hey, that's who she was at the time), but it's brilliant.
Rest In Peace Ferlin! Missouri has always been proud of you!
Much older and voice fading a bit but still a great performer. Love this song.
