And he's thinking, 'Oh, dear my. Look what they've done to my chicken Lord!' The Colonel wrote a song while up in Heaven: Look what they've done to my chicken, Lord. Look what they've done to my chicken, Lord. Well, it's the only thing I could do so right, and they've turned it out all wrong, Lord. Look what they've done to my chicken, Lord. Look what they've done to my chicken, Lord. He might start a new singing career up there!
As an 8 year old boy, I literally ran into Colonel Sanders at the Harrisburg East Mall (Harrisburg, PA) in the Autumn of 1972. To this day, I vividly recall looking up at him in absolute wonder & awe. As an aside, in 1995 I randomly met Jerry Lewis at the Harrisburg East Mall, about 100 feet away from where I met the Colonel. Life is funny, eh? 😃
@@TobiasTheWolf What an odd thing to say. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a statue, as he shook my hand and those of my parents and sisters and spoke to us all. If it was a statue, it was hyper-realistic. LOL
I met this man when he opened up a franchise in my city. Minneapolis, Mn. Yup. Ya had to wait in line, on the sidewalk at a window, outside to place your order. He was there to promote the opening.
"I love chicken. Chicken are the sweetest things, about the only thing in the world we've got to live for. That's what we put in our daily lives for." This man loves his chicken.
FUN FACTS: Colonel "Jack James" Sanders was born in Clayton Minnesota in 1890. The youngest of 6 siblings. Then the "Colonel's" family moved to Henderson Kentucky in 1900. Colonel Sanders was actually a real Colonel in the Salvation Army from 1926 to 1937. The Colonel married his high school sweetheart Clara Jean Buckshaven in 1911. The Colonel always said.. We serve chicken... That's all we do... But we do it well!!
True Facts: Harland David Sanders, Sr., was born Sept 9, 1890, in Henryville, Indiana. He was titled a Kentucky Colonel by governor of the state in 1935. He married Josephine King Sanders in 1909, then later divorced her and married Claudia Ellen Lexington Sanders in 1948.
Thank you Colonel Sanders for founding KFC and your original chicken recipe. You're the reason why KFC is so successful today with restaurant chains and takeaways worldwide including here in New Zealand.

The Colonel must have taken his secret recipe with him to his grave. The taste, the quality of the chicken just hasn't been the same since he kicked the bucket.
He created the chicken recipe made in a pressure cooker, and sold the rights to sell his chicken in restaurants for a royalty of 4 cents per chicken sold. Eventually he sold his franchising business for 2 million dollars. KFC is more of a combination of Sanders food and method, with the savey business of Co founder Pete Harman. Who came up with the name KFC, the idea to sell the chicken in a bucket, and the slogan "finger licking good". Harman owned about 200 KFC franchises before Sanders sold the franchising company.
Honestly they took advantage of that old man 2 million he was paid for his franchise then they sell it for 240 million. Is sad and the fact that his family get no money from them using image today isn't ok
Language just evolves over time. I’m sure in a hundred years our current speech patterns and accents will sound strange in some ways (I know this video is only 50 years old but he would’ve developed his speech patterns well over 100 years ago).
The Colonel got gypped, to a point, by selling out for $2 million (still a tidy sum in the 60's), on the other hand it seems implausible on the balance of probabilities that he could have carried on and built up Kentucky Fried Chicken into a $200 million business all by himself.
The way KFC is today, I personally think it's an insult to the Colonel. KFC is so sketchy right now. But when Colonel Sanders was around KFC was real genuine Southern Fried Chicken that was Finger licking good.
My poor White great-grandmother from Appalachia made chicken that tasted/was textured like Col. Sanders chicken. She used eggs and milk in the flour batter- don't know if that is common. She used the same batter for fried okra. She was never around Black people.
@@Deadshot0811 I don't know what you mean by "invented" and where you get the information. Snopes says it's unconfirmed. The "recipe" doesn't seem all that different from a lot of southern fried chicken ones, except it seems to be from a possible egg and milk batter (especially the crispy)- which some southern cooks used and some didn't.
The first time I've heard his voice.
Why I searched it.
Same.
Magical.
@@RealColonelSanders
What would you ask him?
@@RealColonelSanders
Okay.
An amazing example of someone who shows us that in life it's never too late to succeed, no matter what your age it's simply 'Meant To-be'!
He’s basically the Walt Disney of Chicken!!!
This guy is watching down on us from heaven with his chicken
And he's thinking, 'Oh, dear my. Look what they've done to my chicken Lord!'

I'm sure it Original recipe!
While also disappointed he couldnt stay to save KFC’s quality
His words are as true today as they were in 1971.

Bumping into a sanders statue in KFC doesn’t really count as meeting him.

I doubt that happened

Thank You Colonel....

The Colonel never retired. He was just getting started at age 75.
That might be one of the most inspiring interviews and it's came from colonel sanders
I love how most everyone back then had the same narrator voice
I wish I could do it too
What an inspiration
81!
And sharp as a tack.

Not gonna lie, I was kind of expecting his voice to sound more like Foghorn Leghorn from the Looney Tunes.
Same, and he didn't disappoint
Me too.
Sounds like a higher pitched version of him lol
He's lucky didn't met Gustavo Fring.
He's with heaven"s chickens now

Great video
Wow. I was a baby back then.
Ahh the Colonel he was a classic. One of the greats that made America great all American and sentimental.

This is lowkey inspiring.
Damn the last sentence 🔥
The Colonel must have taken his secret recipe with him to his grave. The taste, the quality of the chicken just hasn't been the same since he kicked the bucket.
The corporate KFC changed his recipe not too long after he sold the franchise.
I can't get the last thing he said. "I don't believe in ever stopping. Because you'll rust out quicker than..."??
Who else was watching Impractical Jokers, heard Q imitating him and came here to see what his voice really sounded like?
Whe a was a child in 90s i use to think he was still alive and have the same energy of santa claus or something like that lol
Pretty sure KFC used to be good back in those days.😒🙄
I used to eat KFC, when I was a kid. But now, I go with Popeyes.
Best fucking chicken in the league!!!!!! Legendary
What does he say in the last 10 seconds? I can't understand him.
Put on the auto-generated captions, they help.
I hope KFC plays this interview as one of there commercials.
I sure hope they DON’T USE IT. Because the chicken is not like it use to be. He’s be ashamed of what they’ve done to his recipe
@@thrasherfoo He is probably sobbing in his grave Saying "KFC finger-licken ruined it"!
WFAA is a local tv station based out of Dallas
KFC is always my favourite fast food restaurant!
GOD BLESS THE COLONEL
He created Kentucky Fried Chicken and sold the rights for only $2,000,000? 😮
He created the chicken recipe made in a pressure cooker, and sold the rights to sell his chicken in restaurants for a royalty of 4 cents per chicken sold.

Colonel sanders invented KFC also known Kentucky Fried Chicken
KFC is still around because of his image
KFC 💕
He hated what KFC became
Honestly they took advantage of that old man 2 million he was paid for his franchise then they sell it for 240 million. Is sad and the fact that his family get no money from them using image today isn't ok
Why does almost all people from back then sound like that
Language just evolves over time. I’m sure in a hundred years our current speech patterns and accents will sound strange in some ways (I know this video is only 50 years old but he would’ve developed his speech patterns well over 100 years ago).
The founder of KFC Colonel Holland Sanders.
The Colonel got gypped, to a point, by selling out for $2 million (still a tidy sum in the 60's), on the other hand it seems implausible on the balance of probabilities that he could have carried on and built up Kentucky Fried Chicken into a $200 million business all by himself.

Why did he sell? And why for so little?
He had to support his parents. Lol
@@tbec3011 I see.
Abu KFC
Man kept his career and apparently dropped the n word on the regular. Decades later papa john mentions this and takes the fall for it.
Sad they use his face when he sold it for 2 million and now they make billions off his image.
That's how distributers do people.
Keep in mind he ripped a black woman who is invented the recipe for KFC!
My poor White great-grandmother from Appalachia made chicken that tasted/was textured like Col. Sanders chicken. She used eggs and milk in the flour batter- don't know if that is common. She used the same batter for fried okra. She was never around Black people.

This is what I’d imagine the devil would look like in human form
Not necessarily. The devil can disguise himself in any type of human form to make him appear acceptable.
The bible says the devil is a beautiful angel of light...... but pure evil.
