How many singers do you know who could sit on a couch with just a guitar and sound like that. None folks. You just saw the best singer song writer in country music history
Bonnie was the Pattie Boyd of country music. Bonnie was married to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard and Pattie was married to George Harrison and Eric Clapton. She was Layla.
My dad quit listening to rock when I was about four...and turned me on to hag ....tears still well up when I find jewels like these....if a song hits you ....react to it ...and sing it to if you know the words ...love you Merle...inspiration un equalled
Merle Haggard such a Powerful story teller of song's. I grew up listening to his music bcoz of my Dad was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame & Honor in 1987 in ATL. Ga. singer song writer & Dad admired every song "The Hag" ~(that's what Dad called him) they met @ The Playboy Room n Atl Ga. Merle always had only great songs I could listen to his tunes all day such a unique voice. I was so sorry when I heard he passed. I Prayed for his Family, friends & fans it broke my heart but true believer in God & God got another Angel in my heart. Thank you for posting this video I'm sure it was on his son's UA-cam Ben Haggard sight. God Bless you all 🎶🎵🎶
Love Mr Freddie & Mr Merle. I LOVE THIS SONG & THE FACT THAT HE IS SINGING FOR BONNIE. SHE LOVED HER MERLE. IN THE HAG, It tells what happen for Her leaving Mr Merle. But She Still always Loved Him. And I think He Loved Her Later Own. The Together They Were BEAUTIFUL.
This song is absolutely beautiful and Merle singing it and thinking of Bonnie , just shows he always had Bonnie on his mind .He loved Bonnie since they were young .It was Bonnie who got Merle started in a singing career. They were always in love with each other but Merle had an eye for the ladies .Even ones he married , when Bonnie @ him divorced .He wrote this song for Bonnie years later ( TODAY .I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN ).I Its another wonderful song , l love Merle singing it to Bonnie. Haggard. She shall always be Bonnie Haggard in my life ..RIP if you were only buried next to one @ other .ELIZABETH SCOTLAND .XXXXX❣❣❣
I have never seen or even heard about this before today! It does NOT get any better than this in Country Music!!! A brilliant guitar player and a wonderful voice and singing style! Merle truly was unique and one of a kind!!!
He loved Johnny Cash & Bonnie Owens. He met Johnny Cash in prison (either Folsom Prison or San Quinton i forget which one). He got Pardoned by then Governor Ronald Reagan of California. He played at the White House for then President Ronald Reagan. Merle was a good man
MERLE always loved Bonnie.Even after there divorce he knew he had done wrong. I know his heart was always on Bonnie. GODBLESS them BOTH .Just wish they were buried together .RIP ALWAYS BOTH OF YOU .KINDEST REGARDS ELIZABETH PERTH SCOTLAND XXXXXXX
He was a great and Talented man Patsy and his friendship and song writing abilities had a big influence on Merle I'm sure. and I guess you are proud of him and rightly so. I never saw either of them Live but I sure get a lot pleasure watching them in these videos.
Back in the 70’s, when working at all country KWKY in Des Moines, received a recording by a Gene Watson a new artist out of Texas, the song was, If I’m. A fool for leaving, I’d be twice the fool to stay, I loved that record, just about wore it out, thought it was one greatest tunes I’d ever heard, since the Gene has never failed to impress me his music, he is a classic, right up there, Hank, Merle, Eddy and so many more I can’t recall. Anything Gene Watson does, I love. Larry Heaberlin, retired, KWKY, WHO, WCLU, KRMS and others.
*Wouldn't that be something* ~2:10 If I could show you I could spread my wing and fly away? Wouldn't that be something If I ask you to fly with me on some wild and windy day? Wouldn't that be something If we both fell together and you threw your arms Around me like you needed me Wouldn't that be something? wouldn't that be something? ---------------- You'd probably laugh if you could see the dream I had last night You and I together on our maiden rocket flight we were seated there together with your happy frightened look You and I got young again on that rocket trip we took and wouldn't that be something If you could look at me and see somebody read it again? Wouldn't that be something and we can really fly away and both be young again Wouldn't that be something we could look inside each other's minds always find each other when we needed to? Wouldn't that be some thing? Wouldn't that be some thing?.....
MERLE @ @BONNIE WERE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TOGETHER .THEY ALWAYS WERE IN LOVE .EVEN AFTER THERE DIVORCE .THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE DIVORCED IN THE 1ST PLACE .GODBLESS THEM BOTH IN HEAVEN RIP ALWAYS ELIZABETH SCOTLAND XXXX ⚘⚘⚘⚘

Bonnie was always on his mind and in his heart she was a very inportant part his life.
Bonnie was the Pattie Boyd of country music. Bonnie was married to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard and Pattie was married to George Harrison and Eric Clapton. She was Layla.
A great song Merle & Freddy Powers wrote together & released on Merle's "5:01 Blues" album back in 1988.

*Wouldn't that be something* ~2:10
If I could show you
I could spread my wing and fly away?
Wouldn't that be something
If I ask you to fly with me
on some wild and windy day?
Wouldn't that be something
If we both fell together
and you threw your arms
Around me like you needed me
Wouldn't that be something?
wouldn't that be something?
----------------
You'd probably laugh
if you could see the dream I had last night
You and I together on our maiden rocket flight
we were seated there together
with your happy frightened look
You and I got young again
on that rocket trip we took
and wouldn't that be something
If you could look at me
and see somebody read it again?
Wouldn't that be something
and we can really fly away
and both be young again
Wouldn't that be something
we could look inside each other's minds
always find each other when we needed to?
Wouldn't that be some thing?
Wouldn't that be some thing?.....
The man was a national treasure.
Thanks for posting. Great video.
MERLE @ @BONNIE WERE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TOGETHER .THEY ALWAYS WERE IN LOVE .EVEN AFTER THERE DIVORCE .THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE DIVORCED IN THE 1ST PLACE .GODBLESS THEM BOTH IN HEAVEN RIP ALWAYS ELIZABETH SCOTLAND XXXX ⚘⚘⚘⚘

Does anyone know where I can find "Color Me" song? I have been looking for ever since I watched this video...can't find it.
Merles guitar still has the price tag
Yeah, that was the Minnie Pearl model Ovation guitar! ;)
Anyone know of a link where I can find the chords to both these songs? I can't track them down anywhere
@Countryman456
Merle never recorded "Color Me".
countryjazzjohnny shame it was never recorded just pleased to find it
the guy sitting next to merle is T.G. Sheperd
nO it was my Uncle - Freddy Powers :)
oops
I know but the one on the right is TG Shepherd
NO IT IS FREDDY POWERS!!
🔁🔁🔁
@countryjazzjohnny Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Thanks for your reply!
Is this the episode that Merle and Freddie "took over"?
What show is this clip from? I’ve seen this gentleman introduce so many great performances, and I don’t know who it is!
Who is the other guy sitting next to Merle? I can't place him..
T. G. Sheppard
His name is Freddie Powers. Merle and Freddie wrote quite a few hits for Merle.
@@carrollduke6457 Thanks..
Wouldn't that be somethin... if Johnny had stayed home with his wife and babies.
What the hell does Freddie do??????????
I'm asking our Boomer generation wouldn't that be something?
