Gary Stewart singing his biggest hit: She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles

He was a unique and amazing talent. Died too soon.

I'm having a t-shirt made with this on it. Or at least after I double check all the spelling and names. If you see any mistakes, let me know.

Rosanne Cash and Carl Perkins sing "Jackson", a song made famous by her father and his second wife June Carter. Rosanne's "New Wave" fashion make me a bit uncomfortable, but they sound better than I was expecting.

Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Eric Clapton sing Perkins' "Matchbox". Carl never figured out how to dress on stage after the late 1950's, but he will always be one my favorites.

Linda Ronstadt & Johnny Cash sing "I Never Will Marry" on his TV show in the late 1960's. Two amazing voices.

Linda Ronstadt "Blue Bayou" with the Muppets. Awesome!

Connie Smith was "discovered" by Bill Anderson back in the early 1960's. Here she appears on the Lawrence Welk Show with an amazing jazzy "I Ain't No Lovin'" followed by "Hey, Good Lookn'". Dolly Parton once noted, famously, that there were just three real female singers around—Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie Smith. Who knows what Dolly meant by that exactly, but if nothing else they are three unique voices. Connie Smith continues to grow on me.

"Still" by Bill Anderson. Topped the charts in 1963. Maybe his biggest hit? Although he sure had some other whoppers, including the name sake of this blog "I Get the Fever".

And here's Jan Howard with Bill Anderson singing "For Loving You' which was a big hit in 1967.

Jan Howard "I've Got My Pride"... was not a big hit, but still a nice pop flavored ditty.

This is just plain freaky... the title of the original posting says it all: Bob Wills and Glen Campbell on same TV show....

Campbell sure paid his dues. He was a Beach Boy for a while, a studio musician (even played on some Frank Sinatra sessions), and eventual pop and country superstar.

Crystal clear B&W performance of Heartaches by the Number by Ray Price. Who is the guy singing harmony?

A very electric performance on an old west porch? Tommy Duncan is in fine form with Bob Wills and the band... Time Changes Everything.

Cheezy sleeze, shotgun weddings and hillbilly music. How can you go wrong? Waylon's acting ain't nothin' to write home about, but he sings so fine. Archie Campbell, Tex Ritter, Faron Young, Loretta, Cousin Jody and don't forget Porter Wagoner.

"I want to be at the Opry on Christmas Night" at about 49 minutes.
