A BANGER!| FIRST TIME HEARING Ronnie Milsap - Stranger In My House REACTION

[@angelacurtis5912]

No one has mentioned that Ronnie Milsap is blind. I saw him in concert once; he has so many hits and a great sense of humor.

[@evilredkitty]

I've heard him since I was a little girl. And always knew he was blind. But as an adult hearing this song one day out of the blue I was like what in tha what 😂 🤦‍♀️🤣 So he definitely must have great sense of humor 😊

[@nicknolan722]

He plays the guitar too and they've asked him an interview why he doesn't play it on stage they said well he always plays a piano because he's never set the piano aside and not been able to find it

[@seanswinton6242]

​@Sarah D Same here. Saw him live in Myrtle Beach decades ago. I specifically remember him joking about his blindness for playing this song. This is one of my favourite songs of his along with "(There's) No Gettin' Over Me", "Any Day Now" and "I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World."

[@terrymedlock9225]

And that line"somebody here that I can't see" used to make me laugh and I know I shouldn't. Saw him in concert in the 80s what a great voice and performer!

[@rickwelch8464]

@@terrymedlock9225 Yep when I was a kid I used to chuckle about that one.

Ronnie Milsap is a legend!!! Smokey Mountain Rain is my favorite. He is featured in Forever Country" artists of then now and forever. Please give it a listen 🎶

[@bigsteve9279]

My fav too! 😁

[@mikeadams2677]

Ronnie said he got the inspiration for Smoky Mountain Rain from when he played the piano for Elvis Presley on his song Kentucky Rain back when he was a session player. Ronnie also said he used Knoxville, Tennessee in the song because it's his favorite city.

Mine too

That one and "I Wouldn't Have Missed It For the World" are my favorites by him.

[@bonnielambert6315]

[@iloveteddylupin]

Ronnie Milsap is also a very kind, humble person. My mom used to work as a Police Dispatcher in Rural KY and one day on her shift, he called in from his tour bus, he was traveling through from a show and his wife was having some kind of Medical emergency. After his wife was released from the hospital he sent a letter to the Police Dept and my mother thanking them for helping him that day and for being so professional. It definitely made my moms day! She still talks about it! He really is a great guy!

[@bonnielambert6315]

Yes and so sad that his wife of 56 yrs of marriage, passed Sept 2021 and they lost their only son in 2019, only 49 yr old. Prayers & Love to Ronnie & much appreciation for his music.

There's no getting over me and Button off of my shirt are really good songs by Ronnie.

“IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A SONG” 🔥 Live 1978 Grammys performance is great! No one has ever or will ever sound like Ronnie!! ❤❤❤❤

[@sporttiger1766]

One of the best song ever to grace this planet

[@Paladin70]

Ronnie was born blind and I read one time that his own mother didn’t want him because she believed that God was punishing her so fortunately, when Ronnie was just around a year and a half old his grandparents took him in and raised him to the wonderful man he became. You guys would absolutely love his Lost In The Fifties Tonight because it incorporates so many things that you love into one song. Released in the mid 80s, you get both his soft and soaring voices, infusion of one of the greatest DooWop songs ever, In The Still Of The Night, and for Amber some beautiful saxophone licks that will just melt you. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs ever written and it was Ronnie’s 27th number one hit on Billboard’s Country charts. Magnificent song.

[@stevenguzman4058]

You're correct. I did a book report on him in school. Read the biography in the 80's. They have a catalog of songs to get to. My mom and aunt took me with them in the 70's to a concert and I remember him and Charlie Rich. Got dragged to both and loved em ever since.

[@kerrytrager4957]

In the still of the night is so beautiful!

[@Paladin70]

@@stevenguzman4058 They both were so good and I wish I could have been there too. In the 70s I was attending shows by most of the great classic rock bands and didn’t come to appreciate these guys until about twenty years later, so I kinda missed out on some great music while enjoying other great music.

[@RabbiSteve]

@Richard Smith wow, didn’t know he covered that song and have never heard it. But now I have to! Thanks for that. And also didn’t know his story. Thanks for that also.

[@Paladin70]

@@RabbiSteve He incorporates part of In The Still Of The Night into Lost In The Fifties Tonight, very cleverly and beautifully done. You’ll like it.

[@duaneford8875]

Ronnie Milsap does the best slow dance song ever, "Lost in the fifties tonight".

[@joeydee8264]

Smokey Mountain Rain is his "signature song". Had over 40 #1 Country Songs over his career. Once you start digging deeper, you'll notice his soul, motown influences. I personally love the confident cool "There's No Gettin Over Me".

[@chrisbutler5975]

Gotta love Ronnie M. Born Blind, his music often crosses over genres. I think of him as a bridge between classic country and modern. Smokey Mountain rain is my personal favorite.

[@seanswinton6242]

I agree. Much of the early 80's Country was. It's what made Country huge in the 80's and 90's.

[@lazylady8591]

@@michaellynch9550 I've deleted the comment. His hometown was very small and isolated especially during that time. One of those places everyone knew everyone else. My friend was truly disgusted about Ronnie, because his father was trying to sell his chainsaw that he used to cut wood to keep warm to my friend's father for his medication. His father was very sick. Ronnie didn't even bother to go to his father's funeral or even send flowers. The townspeople were totally disgusted.. Ronnie's career was really booming at the time. There is no indication that his father was a bad man, just very poor. A tiny southern town knows about everyone's business. My friend refused to listen to his music.
