One of the absolute masters. A virtuoso guitarist and a first rate composer, who sang with the best of them. Pure class. He is greatly, greatly missed.
yes, my mother played him always when i was a little brat, i wouldn't have known til later on, how, it would have affect me ,i mean when i think of country music i think of how he made my mother so happy, so, some might say hillbilly music, but when i think of country music, i think of the old standards, first. so yes!, i agree!
That's for sure, Southern Country Girl...I don't know much about Cowboy Copas, but I'm definitely convinced that so called modern country has nothing to do with him and the other great singers of the past, like Johnny Cash, Ray Price, Ernest Tubb and so on
Great talent. Had the first hit of song, Tennessee Waltz. Shame he & Hawkshaw Hawkins, both very popular & hitmakers in their time, not inducted in Hall of Fame when Patsy Cline was. Looked bad on the "music industry". At time, only 1 person induction rule, I think. However, other rules were "broken", in this case , all 3 Cline, Copas, Hawkins should have been inducted, especially since all killed same time.
Taken Way too soon and Horribly along with Patsy Cline and Hawkshaw Hawkins the other musician in the plane crash March 5,1963, a Real Tragedy . . R.I.P.
RIP Cowboy Copas (July 15, 1913 - March 5, 1963), aged 49
You will always be remembered as a legend.

One of the absolute masters of the genre. I am elated that this clip has survived, and in color, to boot. He is greatly, greatly missed.
Soy de argentina y AMO EL COUNTRY🇦🇷😍🤠❤👏
He is my third cousin. I haven't heard much of his music but enough to know that it's true country. Any body agree with me?
+Southern Country Girl Yep. There are country-rap songs now. It stinks.
+Southern Country Girl I agree SCG!
His mom and my great grandma were sisters. I don't now what degree of cousin that makes him to me. We must be related, too.

It's a Ray Price song. Ronnie Milsap had the best version of it I ever heard, but some country people probably think it's too rock n roll.
My favorite was Johnny Bush's version. Anyway, it's a great song no matter who sings it...

Don't forget Gail Davies, as well.
