[@jennysparks7232]

He is a great singer and a very decent man.

[@Baraodojaguary]

Tennessee ernie ford has a great voice i love hearing his gospel songs

[@dougellis8904]

Bless his little pea pickin" heart.

[@judyscott2732]

I loved his singing even as a very young child. He was “Lucy’s “Cousin Ernie” on the old Lucille Ball show , The Lucy and Desi show.

[@vickib5579]

I had forgotten he was on Lucy. Thanks for the great memories! Always loved his singing.

[@tonytune4342]

Cousin Ernie was from Bent Fork , Tn . So funny !

[@chitownlee]

He mainly was a singer gospel, Country and pop. He had a variety TV show from 56-61.

[@patswanson2870]

He was also a great comedian.

[@shirleymongold1201]

This made me so homesick. The home place is in Virginia not far from the beautiful Shenandoah River deep in the Shenandoah Valley

[@marybaillie8907]

Great singer and actor. He was in many TV shows and movies. What a voice!!! Right from his boots. Funny the the thing I remember the most was his southern manners. I always thought he was the perfect gentleman. Great reaction Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@flutesong5527]

we 'did' hear him on radio often, his voice enchanted everyone

[@claudiabranham8426]

When I was young...brought back memories. He was wonderful

[@babyboomermemories6150]

My dad who passed in 2017 loved this guy. This reminds me of my dad when I hear this.

[@xlerb2286]

He was one of the singers that Mom and Dad listened too. What a voice, and what memories. I'm glad to see that he is still appreciated by folk today. Thank you.

[@darrellmyers6478]

He was one of my father's and my favorite singers from back in that time. I sent my Dad a song by him a few weeks ago and Dad just loved hearing Tennessee Ernie again. It brought back old memories for us both. Thank you for giving Tennessee Ernie some breath again in this time. His voice goes far and beyond that of most singers.

[@kevinhouse4376]

You should listen to Paul Robeson's recording of "Shenandoah." He was amazing!

[@turnerdan53]

Or his Old Man River.

[@susieq9801]

@@turnerdan53 - Yes, "Old man river"!!!!

[@dsusan17]

He had a great voice. He was a great actor/comedian. Wonderful analysis Harri!

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

The Great Shenandoah River Valley and Tennessee Ernie Ford.❤

[@wallsvang]

He was very funny on a couple I Love Lucy episodes. He can talk with a high pitched winey voice.

[@majkus]

Whah bless your li'l pea-pickin' heart! In one episode, you can watch Desi Arnaz trying very hard not to crack up at 'cousin Ernie's' performance. He kind of pre-figured Jim Nabors or even Frank Fontaine for the magnificent voice that would come out of this unlikely character.

[@frankscarborough1428]

Love Tennessee Ernie ford. Had to listen again

[@rhiahlMT]

Shenandoah is a classic American folk song. This is great. The one Peter Hollens does is terrific. My family started out in the Shenandoah Valley, but I'm bound away cross the wide Missouri also.

[@debrabeck9630]

One of my mom’s favorite singers. We listened to a lot of Tennessee Ernie Ford together. He has an amazing voice. Ty for this one.

[@pilesovinyl]

What a voice, what a low register, I've always loved that song...he did sing a lot of gospel.

[@nancyanderson5310]

Yes, yes, yes! You got that right. It gives me such pleasure to hear another person bathing his soul in not only a beautiful voice, a great performance, a lovely song, but the place and glory of this treasure in our human experience. I saw your soul being fed, just as I have been fed by this EXACT SAME beauty. Thanks for being there. Thanks for giving us your human joy. Big hugs!

[@carolinebizzell5974]

Oh! I had forgotten how beautiful his voice was.

[@denicesanders4586]

He was a classically trained singer. Beautiful bass sound.

[@majkus]

And, perhaps even more importantly here, perfect control of the dynamics.

[@MultiKamil97]

How do you know this? I searched everywhere and there's no mention of him being classically trained.

[@bella-xp7qd]

His voice was very distinctive, always knew it was him on the radio, or TV specials.

[@frankscarborough1428]

I love Ernie. He was on the Lucille Ball show as cousin Ernie. He played a country boy visiting cousin Lucy.

[@avidrdr5640]

He hosted a prime time tv variety show from '56 to '61, then a daytime variety and talk show for a few years. He's definitely a decades' long singing icon for us old timers who grew up with his music. And this is one of my favorite songs by him.

[@majkus]

I remember his daytime show in a general way. Even though I was raised in a secular family (and still am not religious), I remember he would sing a hymn at the end of each show, and it was beautiful, regardless of your faith or lack thereof.

[@avidrdr5640]

@@majkus I feel the same. I have an aversion to all religions, but the music can be beautiful and he was a master at it.

[@spikebeans9563]

Oh Harris, Thank you for doing this. My mom still has this on 45 record. I grew up listening to it, knew all the words. Thanks.

[@large42]

He was a great comedy actor, hilarious. Had his own TV show, this clip is probably from his show.

[@MrArdytube]

When I was young, I could not hear his genius

[@jamestripp239]

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

[@MommaBird52]

I remember he appeared on I Love Lucy as Cousin Ernie. It was very funny. He appeared with some kids one time and one little boy stole the show. That one is on KZbin. Geoff Castellucci did both of these songs.

[@TruthTellert63]

You have excellent taste, my friend. I get chills every time I hear this song.

[@bgallagher8129]

Some similar songs from that era, and men with similar voices Loren Greene "Ringo" Frankie Lane "Ghost Riders in the Sky" Harve Presnell "They Call the Wind Mariah" Johnny Horton "North to Alaska" or being from England you would like the song "Sink the Bismark"

[@loisrogers2511]

We used to sing it, away, I'm bound away, across the wide Missouri .

[@genataylor460]

I used to have most of his albums, including his gospel albums. Just a gorgeous voice. I was a young kid when he had his variety show. My family used to gather in front of the TV and watch it together.

[@shirleynoble685]

Shenandoah is one of America’s greatest folk songs with many versions. I particularly like John McDermott’s version. The musical arrangement is gorgeous.

[@v.downes9608]

I took a bus trip once many years ago and we stopped at Shenandoah park, I never experience staying in the mountains before, it was incredible. I have no way in explaining the feeling you get, sitting up high and watching nature. Love the mountains.

[@nancyrafnson4780]

Try some of his gospel music!! Sends shivers down your spine.

[@valerieh84]

I know this song from Bruce Springsteen’s cover with the Seeger Session Band in the mid-noughties. The entire album, and the live album in Dublin, are a lesson in American history taking in workmen’s songs from the cotton fields to the canals of the northeast and protest songs from 19th century strikes to the Civil Rights movement and more. Pete Seeger’s catalogue is exceptional.

[@davidpost428]

This is a great ballad that he is singing here with his rich baritone voice.

[@jenniferstone2975]

Love your channel! I’m a new subscriber, making my way through your catalogue of reaction videos. Your passion for music shines throughout your outstanding commentary about each piece. For me, there’s nothing as sublime as a shared passion for music. Love from Laguna Beach, CA. ❤️

[@cherylwilkinson3228]

He was also was very funny and appeared on a lot of TV shows.

[@davidpitt9528]

Met him many times as my Aunt was his personal assistant, very nice man

[@majkus]

Shenandoah is a fine old song, and can really give singers an opportunity to show their stuff in very different ways (you can find performances by sea shanty groups like Fishermen's Friends, for example).

[@Bill_H]

He was a great comic actor.

[@ElizasGrammy]

Before I even click Play, I'm stopping to thank you so much for reacting to this! I find this video every once in a while and just close my eyes and listen. Thank you.

[@kimmaedke2763]

One of the best voices ever! He did act too.

[@eugenefisher2566]

Used to buy all his records when that was a thing. Favorite album would be meet me at the fair. Boogie music was fun too. Shotgun boogie and blackberry boogie and on. His westerns were great, Tennessee stud being one of them. Thanks for reminding me I have some great memories up in the attic.

[@jwehrli6]

he was a great comedian too. one of the funniest people ever. check him out on i love lucy.

[@loisrogers2511]

Beautiful song. I always loved it ❣

[@mikeharman9114]

He had a weekly variety showed, sponsored by Ford Autos of course.

[@beverlysmith8025]

He was an extremely talented and very successful entertainer...and a very committed Christian.

[@emiliehervieux3776]

He have radio broadcast but when he talk, he don't have the same voice. At first people don't believe that's him singing, only when they see him singing on television.

[@pete3883]

Americana , history.

[@richdiddens4059]

For a change of pace try either his Shot Gun Boogie or Jeff Beck and Billy Gibbons covering 16 Tons.

[@acox2884]

Tennessee Ernie Ford is from my neck'o the woods. He has been a guest on television shows as you suspected. He performs as a hillbilly in most of them. He's pretty funny. Look up his tv appearances

[@judymeeker2925]

I remember watching him sing 16 tons on the Midwestern Hayride at 6 years old. He acted on some of the I Love Lucy shows. He was a great comic too. The funniest show was about a southern sheriff's fat twin daughters Itisy and Bitsy. They were after him for a husband. 😅🤣

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@hackbritton3233]

Live and learn.

[@Tiredofitall.]

Try listening to his Gospel songs!

[@davidpitt9528]

He made many more Gospel Albums than anything else

[@statusaeswave2979]

❤

[@mapegatkinson92]

check out 16 tons and his gospel album

[@hackbritton3233]

Yep. That was a live recording wait till you hear a produced recording.

[@fredmueller4610]

Check out Rock of Ages

[@tonyoostenbrink7808]

Shenandoah (Gateway Singers) c1960

[@mdaley4390]

Ballads are a lost art in the singing world today.

[@hackbritton3233]

Maybe you should expand your listening. Try another country singer Eddy Arnold for another beautiful voice.

[@highnrising]

They never said it, but Tennessee Ernie seems to have had some black in him. Sounds a bit like Robeson.

[@emiliehervieux3776]

Best loud voice( to enjoy plenty you need a good sub woofer or professional audio speaker 20-30hz responsemost drop at50 0r 80hz) .You shake when he go on low notes. But the real best about it he sing the truth Gospel KJV. Most Christian song are not really for God. Be ready read Mathew 24 and 2Timothy3 Sign of the time...Jesus Christ come soon. God bless.

[@hackbritton3233]

By the way I know that this stuff is bs but you are listening.

[@MisterWondrous]

Tennessee Ernie Ford was 3 1/2 times better than West Virginia Ernie Stanley Steamer. Science is science. That proved, let me invite you to the lovely Shenandoah Valley, where our gentlemen founders found a superior home, safely distanced from the storm-prone scrubby coastal beginnings. The song, and singer, both do justice to the calm beauty of that part of Virginia.
