Watch this amazing man articulate and belt out the words from the lower part of his diaphragm as he does it with passion for a job well done. I remember as a child my grandfather playing all these instruments that you see and I mean all of them, and how we had to be glued to the TV set to watch hee Haw and anything country and I just loved to hear this man. And also George, Johnny,Glen,Conway..ECT..the classics.!! Oh yeah and he wasn't afraid to mention and appreciate God !
Few performers have captured, absorbed and radiated the divine spirit in such measured tones as Roy Acuff. He represents what's best in America. R.I.P. יהי זכרו ברוך.
@@dennisraymond8999 Dennis, just read your comment which is appreciated on behalf of Roy. His spirit and knowledge of his repertoire among Americans are more than ever needed in these agonizing times. Suggest you hear his song about Stalin and the bomb, among other notables. Best wishes, Dennis, and priestly blessings and greetings from Zion (Arad,Israel)
Amazing song with lyrics based on Jeremiah 12:9, "Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour." & a melody that was used to make 4 more classic country songs , "Thrills That I Can't Forget," "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes, "The Wild Side of Life" & "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" , so glad I got to see Mr Acuff at Opryland when I was a kid in the 1970s. Thanks for this post
His singing with his chin up reminds me of the 🦉 owl singing-I love to sing a about the moon a and a June a and the spring a🙏🤣Roy scuffs white haired years were so special🥰
I so wish I could find a church here in Cajun Country that sings the vintage gospel songs. Cajun Country is mostly Catholic. Might have to move to the Ozarks for that.
I love Mr Acuff's singing and fiddling, and I love this song, but I have to say, the dobro player stole the show on this performance. Prettiest I've ever heard I think.
Listening to this barefooted as I dip corn bread in glass of buttermilk, as I look for a washtube string instrument to accompany this great song. Bring on the old time country.
I was attempting to learn to play this on my guitar and my wife remembered it as " I know God didn't make honky tonk angels." So we checked it out and found the verse in Jeremiah that the song references. No one has ever been able to do justice to this song than Roy Acuff. 🥰💕❤️
Doesn't get any better. It's a shame Oswald didn't get into country music hall long before he got in. Almost dead before he received the honor. Some of younger generation get in early with no talent.
What a beautiful thought I am thinking Concerning a great speckled bird Remember her name is recorded On the pages of God's Holy Word. All the other birds are flocking 'round her And she is despised by the squad But the great speckled bird in the Bible Is one with the great church of God. All the other churches are against her They envy her glory and fame They hate her because she is chosen And has not denied Jesus' name. Desiring to lower her standard They watch every move that she makes They long to find fault with her teachings But really they find no mistake. She is spreading her wings for a journey She's going to leave by and by When the trumpet shall sound in the morning She'll rise and go up in the sky. In the presence of all her despisers With a song never uttered before She will rise and be gone in a moment Till the great tribulation is o'er. I am glad I have learned of her meekness I am proud that my name is on her book For I want to be one never fearing The face of my Savior to look. When He cometh descending from heaven On the cloud that He writes in His Word I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him On the wings of that great speckled bird. Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. Jeremiah 12:9 KJV
He only sang four paragraphs of the song.

Isn't it great to have sites like this to remind us of what we once had and what we will never see again
So true. America died many years ago. I miss her.
Absolutely Beautiful. To bad there is no one today that will ever be this good. This is real country music.
YA THATS MY GREAT GRAMPY
Todays "country" is nothing but autotune, t&a, and rap influence.
It makes me heartsick
@@billtravis2369 Sadly Country and Western Music have an open Marriage…
You said it all sir ! Indeed

My grandpa's name was Roy Acuff. He was the famous Roy Acuff's 3rd cousin. My grandpa had an amazing tenor voice.
The dobro in the background makes this song. Can't get enough of theses two.
Bashful Brother Oswald is the name of the dobro player. Was with Roy for many decades.
The best!

You're absolutely right ....Hi Patty good evening how are you doing over the re hope you're having a wonderful day.
Amazing song with lyrics based on Jeremiah 12:9, "Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour." & a melody that was used to make 4 more classic country songs , "Thrills That I Can't Forget," "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes, "The Wild Side of Life" & "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" , so glad I got to see Mr Acuff at Opryland when I was a kid in the 1970s. Thanks for this post
Brings a tear to my eye each to I hear the sacred song.
Now this is country music and I miss hearing it with my dad and grandpa , who were born in the 30's.
God bless this song, Roy Acuff and country music. ✝️
Amen!

this is not just a country song but prophetic hymn sang in old fashioned way
He used to play with my great grandma. Especially this song so it's very close to my family
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
Beautiful! I can close my eyes and feel his song
Wow. I inherited one of his cds recently. Hadnt heard that voice since i was a kid. Going to pull him back into the mix.
Mr.Acuff was a great man.
Bashful brother Oswald never failing.
Amen
My Papa's favorite song.
This is so beautiful it makes my heart hurt.
Beautiful song Love it
Pretty song❤
My late grandfather’s favorite song and singer
What a treasure. Thank you Roy.
So beautiful!!
Love this song so much!
Miss the old country music
One of the first songs, I sang, as a child. If you listen it tells a story. Found in Jeremiah 12: 9.
Listening to this barefooted as I dip corn bread in glass of buttermilk, as I look for a washtube string instrument to accompany this great song. Bring on the old time country.
I was attempting to learn to play this on my guitar and my wife remembered it as " I know God didn't make honky tonk angels." So we checked it out and found the verse in Jeremiah that the song references. No one has ever been able to do justice to this song than Roy Acuff. 🥰💕❤️
Thank you - love your voice and this song- play your music so much 🌺
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
One of young Johnny Cash, pre fame;s, favorite songs
Beautiful song
There’s also a Mexican song with the same melody called mi casa nueva
Both songs hit a little too hard for this heart broken sob
My dad liked Roy a cuff and this song.
Hello how are you doing my friend?
love it
That's some good playing on the dobro too. I think it's called a dobro at least.
Yes. There are few that can hold a candle to Bashful Brother Oswald on the dobro. He and Unkle Josh were two of the finest.
👏👏
He was Great.
Great stuff
Doesn't get any better. It's a shame Oswald didn't get into country music hall long before he got in. Almost dead before he received the honor. Some of younger generation get in early with no talent.
Oz played this tune with such ease.
Greetings from Russia.
Thank you!
Is there a better melody in country music than this ?
Maybe, maybe not. Try Roy Forbes version of 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'. Let me know.. -atb.
Wild Side Of Life and Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels have the same tune!
😀😀
George Jones’ idol. Nice song.
OZ is the Master of the doughbro.
Sounds like Rolling Stones got their “Gimme Shelter” from this riff
Qual é nome da banda?
Sounds like "Only God Can Make Honkey Tonk Angels."
Melpass brothers check it out ❤
What happened to these songs today
What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word.
All the other birds are flocking 'round her
And she is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Is one with the great church of God.
All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied Jesus' name.
Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake.
She is spreading her wings for a journey
She's going to leave by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning
She'll rise and go up in the sky.
In the presence of all her despisers
With a song never uttered before
She will rise and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation is o'er.
I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Savior to look.
When He cometh descending from heaven
On the cloud that He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird.
Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
Jeremiah 12:9 KJV
He only sang four paragraphs of the song.

Did he have a granddaughter? And what was her name?
He had one hell of a hairline for a dude his age
Thought not Ball
Knoxville!
FYI: This isnt "country" music... this is where country music came from.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is "Hillbilly Music". Enjoy!
How did "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" get away with stealing this same vintage gospel melody? I don't understand.
The Carter Family’s Blue Eyes came first.
