I used to go visit their graves in Bakersfield when I lived there. Sad when I moved away. I left a bouquet of flowers on each and said “I’ll be back boys! Keep making that music in heaven. ”
I like the way their voices blend together on the choruses, and of course, Don's guitar playing, and the pedal steel playing are awesome. You don't hear enough of that in today's "country" music.
Buck was never the same after Don Rich dies so tragically and so young. If ever two people were created to work together it was them. An I never get tired of Tom Brumley's fabulous steel playing.
These two really knew what country music was about and they clearly had fun doing it. They really set the standard of pure talent and I think today's artists really struggle to compete 😅
Love Don Rich such a shame how his life ended , so young and such a talented musician and singer, he left behind his lovely wife and two sons. Don Rich will never be forgotten along with Buck Owens.
Don Rich taught me how to sing harmony 40 years after he was already dead...THAT is just how AWESOME he was. Chuck Norris ain't got shit on him! RIP, Buckaroo and Godspeed.
I must be missing something, that and/or I live under a rock cause I don't understand that statement about Chuck Norris? What am I missing? What does/did he have to do with singing harmony?
The title is "My Heart Skips A Beat". Had the pleasure of seeing Buck, Don and the guys in concert back in the day. What a truly professional, polished group. /
Met Willie Cantu in a Nashville bar one night when he was playing. Nicest guy ever. I was happy to be able tell him how much I enjoyed that music with my father as a kid.
These two had a harmonic balance that few performers ever achieve. I always loved to see Don smile as he sang. Buck smiled, too. Not so much after Don passed. He smiled some with Dwight, but it just wasn't the same.
Don was like a brother to Buck. It broke his heart when Don was killed. He wouldn't even discuss it for years after. I always loved watching them perform. Don was always smiling.
Saw the legendary Buck Owens often at the Crystal Palace, in Bakersfield, Ca. He was always so gracious, and funny. Proposed to my second wife right on the dance floor, and of course Buck say's to her, are you sure you really want to do that. He was a Hoot!! RIP Buck!..
Even though Don Rich was married ... I loved him ... I loved Buck too but I watched buck shows just to see Don ... my heart sank and was broken when I heard of his death ... Rest In Peace Don .... prayers 🙏to your family
Notice that they are standing a good foot or two away from the microphone. You rarely see that today with artists almost having to swallow the mike to be heard. Genuine no nonsense going on, just pure artistry.
The real name of this song is My Heart Skips A Beat.Don Rich would have been 78 today-was there ever a better country guitar player/harmony singer?He died 1974 because of a motorcycle accident.From Wikipedia: "On July 17, 1974, Owens' best friend and Buckaroos guitarist Don Rich was killed when he lost control of his motorcycle and struck a guard rail on Highway 1 in Morro Bay, where he was to have joined his family for vacation. Owens was devastated. "He was like a brother, a son and a best friend," he said in the late 1990s. "Something I never said before, maybe I couldn't, but I think my music life ended when he died. Oh yeah, I carried on and I existed, but the real joy and love, the real lightning and thunder is gone forever."Owens would never fully recover from the tragedy, neither emotionally nor professionally." The whole Buckaroo's band defined the Bakersfield Sound.
Folks something we should know. Buck recorded all his LP's with Capital Records in LA using the Buckaroos. Poor Nashville couldn't figure out how Buck pulled it off. Well Ken Nielson the producer really knew his stuff. And yes 10 straight No 1 hits.
After hearing “Together Again” it inspired me to learn how to play the pedal steel guitar..... Buck🙏🏻Owens &Don🙏🏻Rich the perfect combo that they were May they both RIP 🙏🏻
Buck and Don. One of the best duos, never the same without Don. Let’s not forget about Tom Brumley being one of the best steel players we’ve ever seen also being in this group!
🙂 Nice! Keep thinking I'm fairly up on my country music -via Merle Haggard and such but it'll be nice 'dippin in here. Love the both on one old EV mic.. 'Wanted to see Don's left arm in the solo ..when it went 'off cam ..I'd loved to have seen him 'pulling on them strings :>)
Please correct me if needed... I understood after Don was killed in the motorcycle accident, Buck's grief was so large, it took much pleading by Dwight to bring Buck back out, to play again. I loved these guys so much, always a smile, mostly a laugh, and always coming away with a tune to sing. I dislike grief and what it does to us. I could miss Don and Buck, but I'd prefer to sing their songs. Merle and Johnny's too.
I'm ashamed to admit that for decades I only thought of Buck as that guy from Hee Haw without realizing what a career he had enjoyed for so long before that.
I just realized that lovely Don's voice, in this song, is louder and more robust than Buck's. That's cool. Love and miss Don. Buck, too. And Don was one of the best looking men ever to wear pink!! Yummy.
After Don Rich it was Doyle Curtsinger. I loved him too. He wasn't Don Rich but he did an awesome job with the tenor backup for Buck on Hee Haw. RIP Buck and Don......and possibly Doyle by now? I'd have to Google it.
I saw Buck in concert long after Don died and he was brilliant. They were both outstanding performers and both at their absolute best when performing together.

I Grew Up Listing To Buck! Thank You Mom! Peace & Love! WooF!!🐶🐶

The best.
Yes, indeed... The Tele-Master and The Pedal-Master...both Master Class.
Wow....!
@@misskj7773Albert Collins is the Tele Master
Don Rich, the ultimate sideman. RIP, sir. God bless.

Love Don Rich such a shame how his life ended , so young and such a talented musician and singer, he left behind his lovely wife and two sons. Don Rich will never be forgotten along with Buck Owens.
Even though I don't sing well my wife gets a kick out of me singing along. There are 19 people who don't like this? Really?
Don Rich was a painful loss. He and Buck would have gone on to make so much more great music. 🎸🎼

Amen.
Truly. It seems the Lord has a tendency to call his best angels home early.
I love that bakersville sound
Nashville West.
Don Rich taught me how to sing harmony 40 years after he was already dead...THAT is just how AWESOME he was. Chuck Norris ain't got shit on him! RIP, Buckaroo and Godspeed.

Cool!
The Buckaroos were every bit as good as any outfit in Nashville.
Definitely
Now THAT'S country!
Yeah Buddy 🤠
Happy 80th Birthday in Heaven Don Rich
RIP the multi talented ever smiling Don Rich..so sadly missed
We need Don Rich and Thom Brumley, country music needs them so much.
Don was the best…a phenomenal talent..No one ever topped him.
Tom Brumley, the ultimate master of the pedal steel.
Nothing sounds better than buvk and don
These two had a harmonic balance that few performers ever achieve. I always loved to see Don smile as he sang. Buck smiled, too. Not so much after Don passed. He smiled some with Dwight, but it just wasn't the same.
Don was like a brother to Buck. It broke his heart when Don was killed. He wouldn't even discuss it for years after. I always loved watching them perform. Don was always smiling.
Buck and Rich=terrific.
I wonder what it would sound like if we were able to record the trio of Buck Owens, Don Rich, and Dwight Yoakam.
Love the power in Don’s guitar. Such a signature sound.
Fender Sparkle Telecaster in the rights is pure magic.
They've all gone now. How sad. So tragic Don left us way too soon. May they all rest in peace. 😂❤🙏
I believe the drummer-Willie Cantu- is still with us.
Saw the legendary Buck Owens often at the Crystal Palace, in Bakersfield, Ca. He was always so gracious, and funny. Proposed to my second wife right on the dance floor, and of course Buck say's to her, are you sure you really want to do that. He was a Hoot!! RIP Buck!..
I believe Don Rich was the star
I do too. Buck was great, but oh, Dangerous Don, what a legend. Outta this world talented.
Even though Don Rich was married ... I loved him ... I loved Buck too but I watched buck shows just to see Don ... my heart sank and was broken when I heard of his death ... Rest In Peace Don .... prayers 🙏to your family
Don's death killed poor Buck. He was never the same. He never played or acted the same as before.
Don Rich...AMAZING talent.
This is how country music is supposed to sound!
Notice that they are standing a good foot or two away from the microphone. You rarely see that today with artists almost having to swallow the mike to be heard.
Genuine no nonsense going on, just pure artistry.
Buck Owens is one of a kind won't be another one like him
Don Rich you're always on my mind the way you harmonized oh..... smiling while singing just wow
WOW!!!'DON RICH
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I would love to have been there when the band first saw those pink suits.
Love to hear Don play, RIP buddy......

that's western music ! very close to rockabilly , just love Buck Owens and Don Rich RIP .
"Name a more iconic duo, I'll wait"
Folks something we should know. Buck recorded all his LP's with Capital Records in LA using the Buckaroos. Poor Nashville couldn't figure out how Buck pulled it off. Well Ken Nielson the producer really knew his stuff. And yes 10 straight No 1 hits.
That "Buckaroo" line has always reminded me of semi truck-- politely honking at you from behind to get outta the way!
Just discovering this and...it's so awesome!
Were you related to John Olstead? He was from the Chugwater, Wyoming area.
After hearing “Together Again” it inspired me to learn how to play the pedal steel guitar..... Buck🙏🏻Owens &Don🙏🏻Rich the perfect combo that they were May they both RIP 🙏🏻
Same, ive been playing 3 years this year

I am glad that you all like the Video, Buck Owens & Don Rich and thanks for the comments DG
Douglas Graves i usually don't listen to the so called country music now a day's, but i love to listen to Buck and Don!!
Thank you for posting.
I have just finish my elementary when i heard this song and became my.1 of my favorits❤😢
The two was a dream team baby
Great duo an awesome buckaroos they are missed
Buck and Don. One of the best duos, never the same without Don. Let’s not forget about Tom Brumley being one of the best steel players we’ve ever seen also being in this group!
long live Don Rich
Damn that Don Rich!!
Sharp dressed men with snazzy instruments and great talent! Love it
Don could sure play that telecaster. Wished he had an autobiography out.
I know right!! if he did it would most likely be called “Guitar Pickin’ Man The Don Rich Autobiography”
Love Buck and Don and those Buckaroos!!
🙂 Nice! Keep thinking I'm fairly up on my country music -via Merle Haggard and such but it'll be nice 'dippin in here.
Love the both on one old EV mic.. 'Wanted to see Don's left arm in the solo ..when it went 'off cam ..I'd loved to have seen him 'pulling on them strings :>)
Oh, i just fell in love!
Buck was top flight a natural good voice and talented musician, RIP Buck ..
2 great singers gone to soon R I P
DON AN BUCK JUST GREAT WHAT A PAIR OF GREAT ONES
Beautiful song by them both.
I miss him
Please correct me if needed... I understood after Don was killed in the motorcycle accident, Buck's grief was so large, it took much pleading by Dwight to bring Buck back out, to play again. I loved these guys so much, always a smile, mostly a laugh, and always coming away with a tune to sing. I dislike grief and what it does to us.

So young to die
Paul Rieker That is true.
Well said
Love a man in pink! ❤
Eternal music.
You make my heart skip a beat....💋❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Buck would have been 95 today-that's Don Rich on the Tele and harmony vocals.
I love this
They are WONDERFUL
Great great great ❤
go don go my hart skipps a beat.
I'm ashamed to admit that for decades I only thought of Buck as that guy from Hee Haw without realizing what a career he had enjoyed for so long before that.
The video quality is great on this version. Thanks for posting this one....
The best!
THANKs so much my fav by themglsd we can still enjoy music video
Think they are great
AWESOME!!
Can't miss Don's goofy grin. He's having a ball. Who can say that now?
Oh Don Rich...nothin to say bout u😭...wat was there to leave so early ??????????
Lov n prays from Tinsukia,Assam
ah yes .. don and the gold tele .. made me wanna pick up a telecaster. don rich.. the stevie ray Vaughan of the tele.
Love this
I just realized that lovely Don's voice, in this song, is louder and more robust than Buck's. That's cool. Love and miss Don. Buck, too.
And Don was one of the best looking men ever to wear pink!! Yummy.
Wow!
This music made all producers in Nashville real nervous at the time.
Make no mistake about it Don was the most talented person on that stage.
Everly magic
After Don Rich it was Doyle Curtsinger. I loved him too. He wasn't Don Rich but he did an awesome job with the tenor backup for Buck on Hee Haw. RIP Buck and Don......and possibly Doyle by now? I'd have to Google it.
Don had that hybrid picking down to a science.
Don Rich - the perfect sideman. Damn shame he's gone.
if you have never read Buck's autobiography, stop what you're doing and order it. Titled "Buck'em" it is well worth the money and is extraordinary.
" Skips A beat.. " ... listen for the short Buckaroo phrase from Don at 0:38
Buck needed Don Rich
I saw Buck in concert long after Don died and he was brilliant. They were both outstanding performers and both at their absolute best when performing together.
iwant one of the silver sparklr telecasters likr dons
This song is on a list of songs that Dwight Yoakam is planning to re-record.
That’s what I heard!
How about those beautiful suits, back when country stars didn’t look like bums!
People don't like this kind of music? How sad for them. Que lastima.
That solo is the Bakersfield sound
Alvis Edgar Owens Jr., conocido como Buck Owens (Sherman, Texas, 12 de agosto de 1929 - Bakersfield, California, 25 de marzo de 2006), fue un cantante country estadounidense.
Question (anyone) -- Are there Buck Owens tribute bands that play in Bakersfield to this day? If so, that's a bucket list item.
when we had real artist
Ok, tell the truth, how many of you watching this found yourself smiling?
