Tennessee Ernie Ford Sings Classic Hymns

From the beginning of Tennessee Ernie Ford's television program, he devoted a portion of the show to singing a gospel song. Here on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee Ernie Ford sings four classic hymns.

In 1992 a rebroadcast of SPIRITUALS IN CONCERT gave me a new lease in life. A duet of THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD has heaven’s anointing. Food for the soul. WE WILL SURVIVE!

Pushed the button too late. This comment was for a Kathleen Battle and Jessica Norman duet. Sigh

I love Tennessee Ernie Ford, I'm 67 and I've been listening to him since I was a little boy with my parents. The way he sings these hymns are the way there suppose to be sung, there so soothing and make you feel so good. I miss him so much, I've been searching all the old vinyl record stores for his albums and 45,'s as well as Cassettes (and there coming back too). Rest assured Ernie is in the front row of the Heavenly Choir. Rest in peace Ernie we miss you.

I loved his gospel music singing

[@dianecash910]

I always enjoyed Ol Ern's TV show and especially the gospel numbers. Bill Walker was and is a great musician and arranger.

Is this the same Tennessee Earnie as cousin Earnie on I Love Lucy? I love that show! I had no idea that he was a gospel singer. Cool!! I don’t really know the songs he’s singing but I like them. I love learning the old time hymns. Like the new too but the old ones shouldn’t be forgotten either.❤️

[@kathienikula6010]

One in the same! He's great, isn't he! ❤

Love the old songs we sang years ago. He is so good

[@robertkadow3367]

Every singer has their range, we can go higher or lower & hit the note. But the quality is diminished

[@halthurow3421]

Stuart Hamblin wrote the song after he and friend John Wayne came up on a shack in the woods. When they rode up on their horses an old dog came out of the shack and just laid down on the porch. They went in the shack and found the body of an old man laying on the couch. Here's the whole story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Ole_House
