Marshall Tucker was a blind black man who tuned pianos . The band named themselves after him when they rented a warehouse and his name was on the key to the door .
@@victorwaddell6530 ... sure is.... been there quite a few times. Wofford College, Converse College, USCS, Panthers training camp, and met lots of hot girls there.Home of former NASCAR superstar David Pearson.Westgate Mall whats left of it LOL..... and home of Dorman University ( errrh.. I mean Dorman High School )..... ohhhh, and I 85 is forever a mess in both directions to Greenville or going North to the Big peach in the city of Gaffney where if GOD were going to give the earth an enema he would stick the tube in Gaffney ,S.C. !😁
Whazzuphere, man I loved 38 Special and I have heard others say that. I can see where some people consider them southern rock, I’m just not sure where I put them. Hey doesn’t mean I didn’t love and listen to them a lot! 😁😁
Other than calling him “honey”, I was going to say the same thing. How can ANYONE reacting to this song call it a “love song”. Shittiest reaction to this song I’ve seen. Hitting the “do not recommend channel” option so I can avoid hearing this guy talk about what he believes to be a love song. Shit.
I read the lead singer lost 3 family members in 2 weeks and did 3 tours in Viet Nam I listened to this song as a young teen and will NEVER FORGET THIS SONG and band
I'd call this a love song - she tore his heart out, stomped it flat and fed it back to him as chicken fried steak, yet he still loved her. She's done him wrong time and again but - He still loves that woman. He loves her yet he's got to hide from that love any way he possibly can. Men today would just step out and find something friendly on the side, but this man? No. No matter what, he still loves her. It's one of their versions of a love song.
Toi Caldwell is also a Marine Veteran who tore it up in Vietnam. Came back to the USA When it sucked to be Veteran. And then did it right by making some top 40 songs, .. Rock n Roll never forget's !!!
They’re still together….. not everyone but half, and the rest their children and the like from the neighborhood……… Greetings from South Carolina!!!!! Love you!!!!!! Keep killlin it!!!!!! Saw them last night at free concert they threw on for the town we are all from!!! Coolest thing I have seen ever, because literally the WHOLE town showed up!!!!! It was their 50th anniversary, and a gift to the family and everyone for the support all these years!!!!! Look it up….. Marshall Tucker Band free concert Spartanburg, SC ….. you will love it!!!!! Happy 50th MTB!!!!!!!
I'm 60 years old and grew up on this music. It is so refreshing to see young people discover this music and the reactions are awesome!! Check out the Allman Brothers (Midnight Rider, Tied to the Whipping Post) Stormy Monday, Melissa) and Lynyrd Skynyrd ( Sweet Home Alabama, Simple Man, Curtis Lowe. Freebird)
Band full of Vietnam Vets, the lead singer Toy Caldwell was awarded a Purple Heart but refused an offer to go home early, and returned to his unit until his tour ended.
Notice how Toy plays the guitar with his thumb. A Marine with a Bronze Star with a 'V' for valor and Purple Heart awarded in Nam. After bein' wounded, he went back to his unit to finish his tour when he had a chance to come home. I believe he died in the early 2 thousands.
Absolutely the best.....hate your woman song. Toy is outstanding on the Gibson...and the singing from the whole group melts my brain. God bless those boys!
This was recorded in my hometown at the Grand Opera House in Macon, Ga. Back in the 70's Capricorn Records had a lot of successful artists there, including The Allman Brothers, Percy Sledge, Elvin Bishop, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Wet Willie, and many more.
You don't have to be fast and loud to be heavy. Toy Caldwell pours it all out. Phenomenal musicianship, great song, powerful emotion. Just a timeless classic.
One of my all time favorite songs, it's timeless, and it never gets old. Great Southern Rock with a teaspoon of country and a teaspoon of the blues added for extra flavor.
Good ol boy blues.love it.what a time in history that will never happen again. Music was Music. No politics. Real instruments real talent real people real good.
Great live version of this song; it is 'different' way of saying things most every human can relate to, its just in different words and presentation, but anyone who listen to this song, has probably felt those feelings being portrayed in this song. Which is why it stands the test of time. because, most all have "been there" before. The band still going strong, minus the lead singer, who sadly died i think in the late 1990s...but they still are together, as far as what ive seen, they were on concert in a cruise somewhere recently.
I was probably there! 😂 I saw them so many times in the 70’s. Everyone did. Thanks for the flashback, although I still listen to them on the regular . Southern rock is the genre of my high school years, and lord it was fun. 🤘🏼🎸❤️
One of my favorite bands. Southern rock with a little jazz. Just an FYI- got their name from where the band was practicing that had a key with the name attached of Marshall Tucker.
The Marshall Tucker Band was second only to The Allman Brothers Band. A great band. I had the privilege of seeing the original band. Nothing flashy about them, just great music.
You can’t go wrong with some good old southern rock. We had some wonderful music to listen to back in the day. We had folk we had funk, we had Motown we had R&B, we had rock we had southern rock, we had disco you name it we had it.
Toy, lead singer and lead guitar player..served 2 tours in Vietnam..was wounded and received Purple Heart..wrote the song because of all the Dear John letters the guys in his Unit were receiving..after Vietnam..formed the band..dropped this song..Toy died in April 1980s..believe Toy was 26 when he died
Don't pressure yourself, just listen and enjoy or not.... just be you. So now I will be bold and suggest. Neil Young: Old man, Needle's Damage Done, Don't Let it Bring you down. The man has existential soul....and God gifted talent
Toy Caldwell, is one of the most underrated guitarists. Notice he plays with the bare thumb in the downward direction only. I believe the flute player, Jerry Eubanks, and the drummer, Paul Riddle are both still alive. The singer, Doug Grey, still tours.
I saw Marshall Tucker for about the fourth time 5 or 6 years ago. The main singer was still singing. I still listen to their music and I think if listen to more of them, you will appreciate them more.
Marshall Tucker is like 95 yrs. old, Doug Gray was the singer, guitarist Toy Caldwell ( founding member) died in 1993, his brother Tommy the bassist died in 1980. They became famous when they toured with The Allman Brothers Band in the 70’s. Most of their albums went gold then they had a major breakout song called Heard it in a Love Song that really sent them off. After Toys death they had members leave and go their own way, but the rest who stayed went on with new members and made it last through the early 2000’s.
Bill yes I was aware he had. I remembered hearing something of him about going into the military. It’s been a while ago, so I can’t really remember all of it.
How is this a love song? This is a Vietnam Vet singing about all his buddies getting Dear John letters while serving their country. The woman in the song represents all of them!
I saw The Marshall Tucker Band in 2003 or 2004 at The House of Blues, in Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately, the lead singer of this song and guitarist, Toy Caldwell had passed away. He was only in his 40s when he passed. I’m not sure what members are still with us.
Vocalist Doug Gray and,sax and flute player Jerry Eubanks,and drummer Paul T.Riddle are the only ones still alive from the original line up. Only Doug is still in the current Marshall Tucker Band,but his vocals are not what they used to be,due to surgery,and all the vocals are shared.
Both Caldwell brothers in the band died tragically very young as well as their younger brother who wasn't in the band but also died in a tragic crash before Tommy and Toy died,and also George McKorkle died of cancer a few years later.They are all buried at the Greenlawn cemetery off Hwy. 29 behind the Hillcrest Mall.So sad... R.I.P.
Doug and Paul had lunch couple weeks ago with my bosses dad, (Franklin Wilie- a former bass player for MTB, he filled in after Tommy died. They're still playing music, separately, but still at it on their 70s
The lead singer, Toy Caldwell, was a Marine who was wounded in action in Vietnam and returned to duty two weeks after being wounded. After he left the Marines the Marshall Tucker Band was formed.
Graduated High School 1974, and heard them live in Georgia. I might be old T’Won, but I had the best music! And quiet as it’s kept I was on the ground floor of your success too!
Yo da best. This really is a homage to the BLUES songs of such African American blues artists as John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and Howlin Wolf .. . ("That woman is giving me the blues ..")
Twon, making my morning! Charlie Daniels and now, Marshal Tucker (Southern Rock). Two very deep Rabbit Holes to jump in! This would be a blast to watch you discover.
That little brother is to me the number 1 all time southern rock song. And yes I do know of simple man , free bird and all the rest. Toy Caldwell (RIP) wrote this gem. Go down the rabbit hole The Marshall tucker band has a dozen gems.
It's not a love song, it's a love gone wrong song...
Marshall Tucker was a blind black man who tuned pianos . The band named themselves after him when they rented a warehouse and his name was on the key to the door .
Nice trivia!! ❤✌
Yea I live in that town

Honey buns, that man is singing the blues. This song is gut-wrenching.
Oh man, one of the three best southern rock bands ever. The other two being The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
38 Special: "Hold My Beer".
Whazzuphere, man I loved 38 Special and I have heard others say that. I can see where some people consider them southern rock, I’m just not sure where I put them. Hey doesn’t mean I didn’t love and listen to them a lot! 😁😁
Is CCR to far south?
Hi Robert, I’m a huge CCR fan but I don’t know if I’d, personally, think of them as Southern Rock. I suppose some may though.
Don't forget Molly Hatchet either
Honey this is the Blues! Southern rock has a heavy Blues influence and this is definitely a blues song... Not to be confused with a love song.
😂.....yes indeed .
Ah, those harmonies! No auto tune needed!!!
@@tinalinge9182 lol you can't do that with auto tune. That's from deep down in your soul!!!
It's a blues song with a touch of country and a touch of jazz.I saw these guys several times in the 1970s they always put on a fantastic show.
Other than calling him “honey”, I was going to say the same thing. How can ANYONE reacting to this song call it a “love song”. Shittiest reaction to this song I’ve seen.

Toy Caldwell is maybe THE most underappreciated guitar players of all time
He is in the discussion for sure. I'd add him to the underappreciated singer list, too
Never used a guitar pick, purely a thumb picker.
Also served with the Marines in Vietnam. Wounded in combat. Purple Heart recipient.
What you said...yes.
Everyone in the band was a veteran! Thank you gentlemen. Thank you very much.
They just got back from Vietnam and thank God got together and started the band
Takes me back to the free spirited days of high school in the 70's. Those were the days!
@kevin mcconnell 1975 here.
Ditto !!!
Class of '75 here!
I feel ya ! 😊
@@dianegoldeneye7207 In the 70s my brother saw them and Chalie Daniels Band in concert. I think Charlie opened the show .
Marshall Tucker Band - “Heard it in a Love Song”, “Fire on the Mountain”, “This ‘Ol Cowboy” 🔥✌️
No, this isn't their version of a love song, lol. That would be their hit "Heard it in a Love Song", a really nice song!
I'd call this a love song - she tore his heart out, stomped it flat and fed it back to him as chicken fried steak, yet he still loved her. She's done him wrong time and again but -
He still loves that woman. He loves her yet he's got to hide from that love any way he possibly can. Men today would just step out and find something friendly on the side, but this man? No. No matter what, he still loves her.
It's one of their versions of a love song.
If you want to be technical the lyrics and hurting a love song is a love you song / I can't be with you song.
Exactly..... This is more of the heartbreak song.
@@jmontigny7367 Which makes it a heartbreak song. Not a love song.
Growin up I swore the lyric was purty little love song lol.
Awesome footage of a young Toy Caldwell on lead guitar n vocals. Underrated and missed. RIP bro

Toy died of myocarditis in 1993 at the age of 45. RIP
Absolutely the best.....hate your woman song. Toy is outstanding on the Gibson...and the singing from the whole group melts my brain. God bless those boys!
This song was written from hearing guys in Vietnam getting their dear John letters. This singer was stationed in Vietnam.
This was recorded in my hometown at the Grand Opera House in Macon, Ga. Back in the 70's Capricorn Records had a lot of successful artists there, including The Allman Brothers, Percy Sledge, Elvin Bishop, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Wet Willie, and many more.
Capricorn Records produced the best music in America during the early 70’s! I lived near Macon. I am so fortunate to have heard those groups!
@@deborahrhodes5855 good times back then
@@big-un9425 they sure were...Nam notwithstanding...
One of my hubby of 40 yrs this julys' favorite bands. There will never be an era of music as good as the 70s rock bands. All classics. Legends.
You don't have to be fast and loud to be heavy. Toy Caldwell pours it all out. Phenomenal musicianship, great song, powerful emotion. Just a timeless classic.
One of my all time favorite songs, it's timeless, and it never gets old. Great Southern Rock with a teaspoon of country and a teaspoon of the blues added for extra flavor.
You should listen to "I heard it in a love song" by the Marshall Tucker Band
Yes, please!
60's and 70's was perhaps the best era of rock, you can hear the strong influence of the blues, the roots of rock and roll
Perhaps? There isn't a question in my mind 60s-70s is the greatest music of any genre. I was born in '91 and it's all I listen to.
I’m surprised you didn’t notice Toy picking that incredible music (from his Les Paul), using ONLY his thumb!!
EVERYTHING was great in the 70’s!!! Great reaction!
This is a heartbreak song
Toy didn't use a pick, he used his thumb. Hard to believe. I knew him.
I’d love to see your reaction to Molly Hatchet, Dreams I’ll never see!! My alllll time fav song!! Love ya kiddo ❤️
Toy Callwell the lead singer was a Vietnam vet. He was a marine who was wounded but insisted on going back to his unit.
Toy Caldwell singer and guitarist did 3 tours in Vietnam and received a purple 💜 a lot of talent packed into a hero. RIP
Yes, 'The Marshall Tucker Band',,,take the highway...24 hours at a time.... Fire on the Mountain,,,, just a few of their best.
Give these young people The very Best in Great music Brothers and sisters of America Canada! They have been listening to Garbage long enough! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇦🐎✌️
I love his VOICE!!
Good ol boy blues.love it.what a time in history that will never happen again. Music was Music. No politics. Real instruments real talent real people real good.
I was 20 yrs old when this came out. I am 68 now
Oh man oh man oh maaaaan!! 😂😂💯👊
Greaaaaaat song!! One of my all-time faves.
Yes! Always loved this song!! 👏👏
Thanks Big Pete. Great music from this band.
@@dianegoldeneye7207 Yes for sure Diane, and of course!! ❤️
Simply a great song with some southern soul to it. Another good song by them is "Heard it in a Love song."

My favorite and and greatest music. Good choice man!
Marshall Tucker's music always puts me in the mood to take a road trip!
Love this song we loved floating down the river drinking beer and listen to this kind of music 🎶
We drank beer and floated mostly in the same spot on inner tubes, lol... and listened to this kind of music!
That’s what country people do good way to spend a day with good friends and even make new ones you never know who might float by
One off the Super Band 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best concerts I ever went to! Being a teenager in the seventies was the best!
Never heard this.... Such a good song! Thanks Twon!!
