Amarillo by Morning Hee Haw 1983 George Strait

[@floresnashvilledrummer]

The quality of his voice is phenomenal here. His phrasing is just spot on and effortless.

[@BrianLTanner]

I think most of these were lip synced performances. Hee haw (and most other TV programs from the 60s-80s) made this a normal practice to ensure the song was identical to the records.

[@ethanweeter2732]

@@BrianLTannerYou might be right. But his voice in concert sounds a lot like his albums.

What a dreamy cowboy right there. Oh, he sings too. ❤❤❤

And 40 years after this night it is still the best song I believe he has recorded.

Love this song. It truly his best. The music lyrics and entertainment and music is awesome. George Strait is King of Country Music

[@kenfromnj6929]

Been listening to Terry, Chris and George sing this through the years I gotta say this 83 George is good. Great even. But 2019 George is the best

[@rhondamalott9507]

George is good, but I love Terry Stafford version. He’s the original ❤

[@katemiller2376]

That smile ❤ love his music

[@alanhumphrey4198]

He now says this is his favorite song to perform...

[@ethanweeter2732]

He has always considered it one of his favorites. It is one of Texas’s state songs basically.

[@2tycade]

George does a great job on this. The original writer, Terry Stafford also does a good job singing the original in the 1960's.

[@MsHillbilly24]

Beautiful song . ❤️❤️

Singer if u work at it

I remember seeing this around that time thinking "He doesn't look like a George but that guy's pretty good". lol

1973 ~ Terry Stafford, who co-wrote the song with Paul Fraser kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp2Zlolsnahog6c

[@tonytrotta9322]

"Amarillo by Morning" is a country music song written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser, and recorded in a country pop style by Stafford as a single in 1973 to minor success. The song would be popularized in a fiddle-based Western rendition by Texas George Strait in 1982

Noone can sing country music better than George Strait

[@starchief59]

Also correct

Only Terry Stafford.

[@aaronrowland7452]

Amarillo by morning by George Strait From 50 number ones cd and very best of George Strait and Greatest hits George Strait cd from Amazon

[@dickbackus2004]

George is over 60 number ones now. They don't call him the King for noting. What I like about George,, who served in the Army is he gives disabled veterans homes for free. Most people don't know that. SF

[@Gioshreddz_]

I’m 33 years old, love country and this is real country. These new generations country singers could learn a thing or two from the king. I wish more country artist would go back to this country style.

[@BLINKPRESLEY]

This made me cry because my dad loved this song and he sadly died on New Year's Eve of 2022 😭

[@janethesselman2371]

Love your music cowboy my life love

[@barbarathompson1117]

He sings his songs s lot better than any other person who would be singing it. All the songs he sings are totally awesome but if anyone else sings his songs, they just don't do the songs justice

[@starchief59]

Correct

[@KatarinaCarlin]

His version is the best, but it wasn’t His song to begin with. Terry Stafford wrote and recorded it in 1973, 10 years before he had George record it.

[@paulopianaro9512]

Isso é música country das boas

[@paulajerome3050]

George is playing a 12 stringer here!

[@halfwayhousegarage2959]

12 Ovation! He played Ovations in a handful of old videos

[@ethanweeter2732]

He is probably an underrated guitar player because he uses it as a prop much like Elvis would. However, if you watch closely, he is playing chords, just nothing fancy.

[@BitterBetty76]

I hate to say it but I never notice all that guitar stuff bc his face gets in my way😂😁

All up and coming country artists should watch videos of country legends to know what country music should be today.

[@alanhumphrey4198]

Wish he would wear a white hat when he performs now; it's usually always a black hat when he's on stage...

[@ethanweeter2732]

Wonder if it is a Resistol thing. They are still his official hat sponsor, so maybe they ask him to wear their black felt dress hats still.

[@JimmyChambers-sc9oc]

At least he doesn't wear square toe boots.
