Gary Stewart She's Acting Single

[@jmack3411]

"truth is I'm not man enough to stop her from doin me wrong.".........quite possibly the greatest country music lyric ever written and it breaks my heart every time I hear it.

[@rethagreen7471]

One of my fave lyrics sung by him that I think is possibly the greatest ever written is “if I wait up at home I’d only ask her questions-she’d probably tell the truth-so I don’t even ask”.

[@maxryder995]

Yes!

[@carllafong4791]

My favorite lyric from Gary, from "The Snuff Queen"........recorded in 1969 and written by Gary and his crony Bill Eldridge: Trying to make me a husband While my mind was in a mess Well it’s lucky for me that the snuff queen Couldn’t even pass the blood test.

Gary Stewart & Johnny Rodriguez were two of the most underrated singers of the 70s.The good ole days!!!

[@laughingcat341]

You hit the nail on the head! Just listen to "Jealous Heart" or "Pass Me By if You're Only Passin' Through. And don't forget "Hillbilly Heart"

you can add Mel Street to the list, he was incredible, George Jones said Mel was the best country singer he ever saw

Mel Street and Gary Stewart were both awesome talents, they left us too young, and they are still missed

[@paulevans6403]

Love GS but in fairness he was finished before he died. Can't say the same about Street.

RIP Gary Stewart (May 28, 1944 - December 16, 2003), aged 59 You will be remembered as a legend.

[@Fairlight53]

I knew Mr. & Mrs. Stewart. The family lived two blocks from my family in Ft. Pierce, FL. They were always nice to the neighborhood kids. I was friends with their son Joey. It broke my heart when Joey passed away at such a young age. May Mr. & Mrs Stewart and Joey rest in peace.

[@owlman33]

After his wife Mary Lou passed away , its said that he just couldn't get over it. They were married 43 years. Gary was a true gem in the music world. Incredible voice and talent.

[@billysikes1374]

I know exactly how he feels, my wife left me 4 months ago, I'll never, ever, get over her

[@AlwaysRightSometimes]

I am glad that Gary was born into this world and gave us this song . I could listen to it every day . Even the young people of today enjoy this song when they hear it .Nobody could have done it like Gary Stewart did .

[@59Davpier]

You are exactly right...NOT even Jerry Lee!!!!

[@michaelsix9684]

Kelly Willis did this song in 2022, it's on KZbin, her version is great

[@tangobango9653]

Because of that unique "trill" in his voice, many people thought that Gary was not a real Country singer, but I & millions of other fans loved him. It caused him some very tuff times. RIP Gary.

[@jeffreymatthews7149]

Gary Stewart's music, family and fans that all loved him are alive and well in Fort Pierce, Florida. We will always remember Gary, and will always play his music. RIP Gary!

[@wendymyers89]

I remember hearing Gary's music through most of my late high school years and into my early college years, but it wasn't until I actually met him in person, along with my sister, at the Austin County Fair in Bellville, TX in the late 80's/early 90's that I actually could appreciate just how humble this man was. We sat backstage with him for hours visiting with him and getting to know him - he could be quite a character @ times! From that point on every time he played in the near vicinity of Houston, TX we would go to see him and once he saw us he would let us go backstage to visit with him before and in between sets. The funny thing is he had an admiration for our aunt Dena that he met just one time (she lived in Louisiana) and it made such an impression on him that he would always ask us where she was every time he would see us, which was quite a lot! Unfortunately, she passed away this past year so I like to think that in a way he finds her in heaven! Due to all the tragedy in his life I somehow cannot blame him for what he did to end his life, but on the other hand I have to really appreciate his contribution to country music. I really miss him as the funny person I personally got to know backstage and when I hear his music played on the radio now I just have to smile and remember those happy times.

[@austinteutsch]

[@esmith1940]

I grew up in the same home town with Gary. Ft. Pierce Fl where he would play as a guest musician on Saturday nights and Frankie's and Johnny's. Gary was a terrific man with one of those voices that you just can't get enough of. So so sad that he committed suicide. He just could never get over the loss of his wife several years before. As I listen to his song's he brings back memories of my youth. Eddie

[@esmith1598]

+Matt Beeman Matt, I think it was more like a year.. He had been struggling with the loss and everyone in town knew what he was going to.. He played his last concert at Friday fest in Ft. Pierce to a huge crowd and then two three weeks later he ended it.. He was a great musican and I consider myself lucky to have watched him grow from his playing days at the Merry go round bar to Frankie and Johnnies, then on to Nashville

[@esmith1598]

+Matt Beeman Well matt it was a long time ago but it seem to me it was pretty good period of time in beetween two events of events.. regardless I felt so sorry for him everyone knew he was struggling. its nice to know that so many people still love his muisc

[@darrellknox5980]

All sources I've seen show his wife died the day before Thanksgiving, 2003, and he died the 16th or 17th of December, same year.

[@esmith1598]

Hi Darrell, well as far as my memory goes there was probably a year between their deaths. It was widely known around here that he was terribly depressed after losing his wife. He played a concert in front of home town fans at Friday fest and then a short time later he committed suicide. Gary was just lost without her. So not sure what the time line was but certainly it was very short time between their deaths.

[@deuceswild9415]

Darrell you have it right on the time line a very sad story Sir ...

[@59Davpier]

Another great song by a very talented guy...left too early!!

[@mileswinslow7553]

I remember listening to him when he was on the radio in the late 1970's when I was a kid. Even then I loved his music. To me THIS IS country music, unlike the crap that they have today that they call country music. To me country music died about 1981/82 when Alabama started to add the rock drum beats. When the actor Sam Shepherd was still alive, I always thought that he could have played Gary in a movie about him.

[@deerejohn1953]

If they ever did a movie about Gary Stewart's life, Jason Lee could play him. Picture the Earl Hickey hair without the moustache. But, of course, the singing would have to be dubbed-in. Love Gary's one-of-a-kind voice...he'll truly be missed. Thanks for the great music you've left us!!!

[@greu52]

Totally all-in on this performance. His leg back-kicks are so obviously natural that it's clear he is into the performance. Great find.

[@justcuz9837]

Gary's music was a bit before my appreciation of music. Later in life I began to listen to him and what really draws me to him/his music is the raw truth in his lyrics and the heart he puts into the music. Oh and he was a good looker too. I really appreciate music from those that maybe weren't as commercially big as others but certainly deserved to be. There is something rare in the amount of heart and realness some musicians put into their creativity. That's were my inspiration comes from. I would have liked to have met him and thumped my bass for him.
