When I was much younger I went to several places just to hear this "Band of Oz" They never disappointed. When I listen to this song by them, it gives me goose bumps & brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely fabulous!! Just an old eastern N.C gal.
Great group!! They perform every year at "Autumn with Topsail" in Topsail Beach NC. This year (2014) will be held in October. We islanders look forward to it!!
always makes me feel 18 & at the Pavillion @ Atlantic Beach circle. My grown kids love beach music as they were brainwashed as children.....lol Brings this 72 yo into a parallel universe......lol
Just BEAUTIFUL. Lot of tears and wonderful and not so wonderful memories... Still so sweet.......Thank you.

No one will ever do this song like Big John! I grew up with his version thanks to my parents and now my daughter is doing the same ❤️
I'm so proud to have been a part of this recording as arranger and co producer.
Best version of this song EVER,!!!
Brings back fantastic memories, very well done. Love that song
The best version of this song ever.
this song never gets old
...this song was played by the Band of Ox in Raleigh, NC as a tribute to those that lost their lives in the Viet Nam war... made me cry then and now!
Both versions are beautiful....thanks.
Big John was my next door neighbor growing up! The band would come play almost every weekend
One of my ALL TIME favorites!!!
No one does this song like Big John !
Gives me chill bumps every time!

Saw these guys do this song at Larkin's in Va Beach about 20 years ago. Loved it then, love it now.
Thank you for the wonderful upload...both!
Our favorite song

I'm grateful for this video and the two versions of the song, but I sure wish they were kept separate and not back-to-back. :-(
Big John is great and so is Jerry West, wish they could get together and both sing it together. I can dream
Fabulous
My lady and I are planning to be there too.
My song to help someone else live~
Me memorial service at Crews Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, NC., Kay Crews-Nichols
