Ferlin Husky - Gone (The Grand Ole Opry)

[@paulnaylor062]

singers with great voices always last the test of time Ferlin Husky one of my favourites of real C&W music.

[@rocker1942]

i met Ferlin Husky in June 2007 at the Rockin' 50s Gala in Green Bay, Wisconsin and got to spend some time with him. We were talking about "Gone" and "Snow White Dove", his other hit. Ferlin told me that although "Gone" was his first hit and well received, many more records of "Snow White Dove" were sold. He was the nicest guy you can imagine, even though he was in a lot of discomfort due to blockages in the blood vessels in his legs. Shortly after his appearance at the gala, he was admitted to the hospital. Sadly, he passed away in 2011. Somewhere I have a photo of him and me. He was a quality guy.

Your blessed to meet Ferlin. My mom was a big fan. He came on the radio. I love his singing. Great voice he had. He is missed.

[@gmmbae8973]

Wow 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 His voice sounds like an Angel 😇

[@michpackfan]

Wings of a dove

[@ashleynichole266]

What a great memory

[@treerat1627]

This song brings back long ago memories that are still saddening and upsetting. 😥

[@kalibhakta]

"A lonely soul within me cries." This line is so pure and a feeling everyone knows very well while never discussing it with anybody.

[@joereinhardt977]

I WAS STATIONED IN THULE GREENLAND IN 1956,AND TO THIS DAY I STILL LOVE THIS SONG

[@pobrepaco]

'57, sitting my bedroom doing my homework with Ferlin on the radio--great memories !!!

[@kfazzfarrell5973]

Soul comes from the "heart", Not a matter of " pigment". But feeling and emotion. Thank you Ferlin.

[@johnlong9534]

Back in the 60's, my father in law was a marine in Japan, and worked at the NCO club. Ferlin Husky was doing a tour of military bases and my father in law got to meet him. He told Ferlin that when he got back to Nashville to look up his brother, Ralph Crockett. Ralph ran a fishing resort near Waverly Tennessee called "Trails End". Ferlin went to Trails End and fished with my Uncle Ralph. At the end of the day, Ferlin gave his jacket to Uncle Ralph. Ralph died in the 1984 and his wife, Anna, told me the story and gave the jacket to me. I still have it to this day.

[@lenisbennett3062]

I was 12 years old when this song was released I loved it then I still love it.

[@charlesyoung6760]

Now that is a country voice. Wow

[@Celluloidwatcher]

I have been waiting to access this song on YT for some time, now. After listening to the original recording of Gone from 1956 on the radio several years ago, I FINALLY get to see Ferlin Husky sing it on a Grand Ole Opry telecast from the early 60's. Thank you, thank you for this video. Lovely melody.

[@christianjesen.1]

Such a beautiful song I love this song back then,is this your favorite song too?

[@ninjabluewings]

This is an incredible live version that leaves the studio release in the shadows for sure, that's how you can tell a SINGER! when they really SING IT! like Ferlin does here

[@tobymummert3035]

I'm age 57 and I grew up on this song. I was born in 1964 and my dad had this record and played it amongst many other great classic country and rock and roll Tunes. But Ferlin Husky's Gone is truly a great classic from 1957 and I'm glad my dad had it on a 45. My dad passed away in December 2020 (and NO!! NOT FROM COVID!!!) Ferlin Husky Gone is one of the songs that I'll always think of my dad whenever I play it.

This is Country Soul

[@imogenechavez8158]

Never be another who can sing his songs. RIP. Memories of my mom baking bread in cooler summer nights.

[@MontanaGrizzly73]

Always great, long ago but not far away. Love to hear this guy!!!

[@jimyoung2621]

Great singer. I had 3 LP’s and a handful of his 45’s.

[@JaniceMiddleton-tg6vi]

He could really sing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@antongorillo7715]

Ferlin is an incomparable talent. His vocal renditions (Gone & There Goes...) have such heartfelt sincerity, which is a strange contrast to his joy for humor and laughter. Ferlin, aka Simon Crum, in my opinion, is one of the GREATS of real country music.

[@faithcampbell1632]

Anton Gorillo I agree 💯 %! When country WAS music!! Thanks, Daddy, for instilling in me the love of true, heartfelt and beautiful REAL music of all kinds! You may be in heaven but you live on in me!!

[@joanmorgan2811]

I literally fell in love with this guy and his music, although I was born in the sixties in reggae land Jamaica.

[@nowaymangoshtomuchna]

good music knows no boarders

[@hankeanes8829]

Such a beautiful song by one of the greatest artist. Thank you very much for bringing back so many memories.

[@billholb1974]

[@dennisboyd1712]

I had the pleasure of having a beer with Ferlin after listening to a him sing a few songs . In a little dive called the annex in Sumas Wa. Sometime in the 1980s. Down to earth common man.

[@waynetrademark3006]

[@frankchilds9848]

How wonderful and real!

[@vernpilder4616]

I was eleven when this came out I would sing that line “Oh what I’d Give” over and over still love the song, i also like Joey Heatherton’s version though it’s a little too slick.

[@billashbrook3014]

Old time country. Yeah!!!

[@MyLily_M]

Since you've gone The moon, the sun, the stars in the sky Know the reason why I cry Love divine once was mine Now you've gone Since you've gone My heart, my lips, my tear dimmed eyes A lonely soul within me cries I acted smart, broke your heart Now you've gone Oh, what I'd give For the lifetime I've wasted The love that I've tasted I was wrong, now you've gone Oh, what I'd give For the lifetime I've wasted The love that I've tasted I was wrong, now you've gone

[@therebelryanhughes.2450]

Only he could sing it Best!!!

[@RossNixon]

You really need to listen to Frank Hernandez singing this. (On Spotify). I think you'll change your mind.

[@petedako]

Dig The Horns!!!

[@jmallnhismonkeysidekick6347]

Pete Dako lol

[@anglerfish8278]

Gee Ferlin Husky sure could sing a tune. Did he ever accompany Virginia Cline?

👌👍🙏

[@lornebain3659]

😊😊

[@RaoYiLan]

He starts the song with no reference for the pitch. Did he have perfect pitch?

[@SubSkrub]

This song is so strange to me. It gives me nostalgia for a time I never lived, but I can also see how it led to the "Nashville sound" which I'm currently researching... And also led to the shitty country music we have today instead of badasses like like John Denver, Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash taking the reigns on the future of country.

[@nicolesauriol3913]

Je l'aimais beaucoup

[@BernardBouchard-qq9kq]

Eric Parks does this song on trumpet Jimmy Sturr band.

[@RobertGallaway-g7w]

I have a guitar that is rumored to have belonged to Ferlin Husky. Is there any way I could find a way to document it?

[@mbbeard]

Who was the commentator? Kind of mean-spirited!

[@christianjesen.1]

[@mickeyb4709]

OH OH LOVING LOVING BEAUTIFUL❤️VELVET🌈

[@Scotseasy]

The compere wasn't up to much, but Ferlin wasn't put off, and sang his song well. Just a pity the song is so short !

[@JamieJobb]

This sounds really great at 1.5 speed. He warbles ...

[@JustMe11392]

A great voice and song but I actually think his voice got better when he was older.

[@christianjesen.1]

Such a beautiful song I love this song back then,is this your favorite song too?

[@dabneyoffermein595]

I think that announcer was getting on Ferlin's nerves.

[@donaldewert2332]

I love to hear Penny DeHaven sing this song, she sang it with more feeling, it's on her first lp, PENNY DEHAVEN.

[@daveyvane]

Looks like Jack Lalane

[@lynnlobliner3933]

I was thinking this host is a bit of a jerk, and couldn't even call him by the right name, but then I read the intro, that he was also named Simon Crum. Not as big a jerk as I'd thought, but still a jerk.

[@ninjabluewings]

Well not really a jerk he was just having a little playful bit of banter with him

[@1000business]

Who is that host? His name?

[@HensonLoggingCompany]

No 1 on a country chart with no fiddle or a steel guitar This began the downfall of country music

[@eliyahsromans9547]

Some versions have steel It still is a beautiful song But yes it is lacking a bit of country

[@eliyahsromans9547]

That was the east Missouri sound

[@kasoukup]

Allison Tuttle Le

[@M_Ladd]

Liked Joey's version a lot better!

[@roseforyoubabe]

the song more fitting for a women to sing but ferlin version is much better then joey

[@M_Ladd]

@@roseforyoubabe To much southern drawl and hillbilly in his voice! Not even close to Joey!

[@roseforyoubabe]

@@M_Ladd how can you be dissing the great ferlin husky he has and will always have the best version of gone..

[@M_Ladd]

@@roseforyoubabe You need to clean your ears out there Rosey! Just told you why!

[@roseforyoubabe]

@@M_Ladd i have listened to both husky version is more powerful then her version no contest.. when you say southern drawl that is biased based on a accent you do not like.

[@mvygantas]

What an absolutely awkward introduction lol

[@stevec6455]

The show host would have been better to shut up and get out the way, no? The great Ferlin Husky, underrated due to the stupid Simon Crum bit. Unnecessary. He had no talent agent advice but could have used some.
