Gene Watson Love In The Hot Afternoon

[@williamlinington9166]

He needs to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[@alexclements5631]

Great song , the always great Gene Watson and love Janie Fricke backing vocals!!

[@cynthiahall8844]

Todays singers just can't beat these professionals !! All these guys and gals are singers from my day and they're the best 👌 ❤😊

[@williamlinington9166]

This man should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[@johnnysowards8818]

He is the last true country music singers left the stuff they sing now days is not country music at all

[@talktech1]

How in the heck is he not???

[@DavidGolden-y4i]

Definitely would further to say he might be considered an icon of country music

[@joeray2008]

Amen

[@rosehudson6583]

​@johnnysowards8818 country music today is not country music at all it's more pop.

[@darlenesmith6693]

My goodness such a romantic song wow !!! Gene sings the song just as good as he did before he never lost his great voice . I 'm 75yrs.old and i love to listen to all the reruns they are so much fun and what a joy... The so called Country music today is not worth listening too. The only time i listen to the radio is for the news and weather and other important news as soon as the music comes on i turn it off all the yelling and screaming drives me bonkers ...

[@lorimac320]

Now there's one voice that NEVER lost it ~ Gene was one of my favorites and continues today. AWESOME PERFORMANCE that same as 35 years ago.

[@darlenesmith6693]

One of my favorite singers Gene Watson and great song. 'Love in the hot afternoon. ' and many many more great hits . Nice to see the reruns but many of them sadly left us but left us a legacy we are proud to own Kitty Wells Loretta Lynn Tammy Whynett Patsy Cline Mindy McCready Jeannie Sheppard and many many more. The late greats Hank Williams Stomping Tom Connors Wilf Carter Jim Reeves Hank Snow Hawkshaw Hawkins . Thank you Jerry L. Farris for putting this on utube what a joy it is to listen too.

[@tippimail1]

Jean Sheppard.She didn't like the name Jeannie[too much like Jeannie Seely,who she liked].

[@williamlinington9166]

Gene for the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[@markusgarnett9393]

Oh yea!!!

[@sonyafox3271]

He’s a member of the Opry! 2:32

[@nathanurick8320]

Please tell me who’s going to fill the shoes of all these true country artists.

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

This song marked Gene Watsons real commercial breakthrough in 1975. One of THE finest country singers ever!

[@sonyafox3271]

Double check that because, Gene Watson started singing long before 1975, do your research! As you see him in his younger years but, he started his music career long before 1975! 1:24

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

@@sonyafox3271 I'm aware of that but his commercial breakthrough happened with Love In The Hot Afternoon, giving him his first smash hit. Am I wrong?

[@annsolko2186]

@@sonyafox3271 This song was released in May 1975. I couldn’t get enough of listening to it on the Pueblo, Colorado C&W radio station when I was 20 years old. But it was too controversial, so the night DJ gave his 45 to my friend Becky. I’ll have to ask her if she still has it!

[@ratherknotty]

This is such a near perfect performance not only by Gene Watson but the whole set of brilliant musicians. True professionals !

[@harrisevans2309]

Always loved this song, such raw emotion, brilliant lyrics and vocals.

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

When Gene Watson says: I'll try my best when answering the question: Would you sing the song? you know you're in for a spectacular performance. Surely one of THE finest Hard Country singers in modern music history with a rich and varied songbook.

[@mikeheaphy]

Such an unusual lyric for something considered "country"...pretty heavy and very adult. Somebody in Nashville once told me, "Man, they don't want no poetry down here. They just want to come home after work and listen to something simple"...I didn't agree with him then and I certainly don't agree with him now... this is a poem, or a poetic short story, rather and very clever in the fact that the writer does not have to get down an dirty about lust or attraction...it's like a Tennessee Williams play...and Mr. Watson did a wonderful job on it...don't think I could ever listen to anyone else sing it after hearing him...Wonderful

[@barbarajenks2876]

This is one unique country singer who stands above all is voice is like no one I,be heard in the past and I have liked country all my life.Gene you keep singing I will keep listening your absolutely great.

[@kingisgonesoareyou]

Very unusual and powerful song. Two other guys wrote it, but he sings it like he lived it. That takes talent.

[@RAB19751]

This song paints a picture. I miss these types of songs. You can “picture” only so many trucks and drunks. That becomes boring quickly. No poetry.

[@theresaleek7750]

You are right

[@princessoffire1107]

This country is music and vocals that NONE of the artists in the past 20 years can even reach. I love me some George Strait but even he couldn't be this on point as these " old singers". Even the music sounds like it's on a recording and not in the large stage they are on.

[@phyllisserio465]

I will text you later

[@Bucky1836]

George can do honky tonk awesome damn record lables wouldnt let him do hard country 😤

[@stephanieredden8861]

Gene Watson was one of the best blessings to country music. Such a perfect voice that's effortless and golden. I'm a sucker for a great country tune that's done in the way of a waltz.

[@darlenesmith6693]

I don't want to forget the Poŕter Wagoner show with 'The Wagon Master's Pretty Little Miss Norma Jean and Dolly Parton Mel Tillis and many many more greats . Thank you utube for putting on the reruns . What a joy it is to watch .

[@paulasmith5442]

Now this is what country music should sounds like

[@TheSlewfoot2]

I saw Gene in concert this past Memorial Day Weekend and his voice was as great as ever !!

[@jamesghent8696]

What a voice...wow One of the best.

[@MrKoladge]

Gene is still singing this song as strong as ever I seen him in Florida a few months back. If you get a chance go see him you won't regret it.

[@intimidator6969]

Now there's a stage full of legends !!!!

[@lyndalrichardson9934]

Love Gene and the song♥️♥️♥️

[@paulmartinson3080]

Love in the Hot afternoon and farewell party two of my favorite songs. Gene Watson amazing should be in the music hall of Fame

[@rongibbs5625]

He just rolls right in to it, no effort at all, and just the way it sounds on his recording. FEW can do that.

[@hassew-son495]

Super - Gene! You are the best!

[@mayneeyuh8713]

Love that fiddle! 😍 Even as a little girl I thought this song was romantic. Gene’s not just a great singer, he’s a nice guy too!

[@dawnsmith5283]

what a smooth voice I've only just discovered him so I bought his DVD . just great and I'm an old girl, probably as old as him love country music

[@katierear8113]

I love gene watson! His songs hit a nerve and are awesome!

[@jeannettebennett9292]

Such a special song and an excellent performance. Gene Watson sings perfectly with such great emotion.

[@Shaniatwain.F]

Thanks ma’am! #genewatsonsongs

[@SandraCollins-fv3bb]

First time I’ve seen Willie at one of these shows love it. He’s been around the block a few times great music

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Such a great tonality to his voice! Gene Watson truly is one of THE finest Hard Country singers ever! This particular number was a charttopper for Gene in 1975 and is a tasty Country waltz.

[@charliejackson3631]

Great song - Great singer .Country music at its best.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ginnymo62]

This was my very favorite song. Had it on my jukebox for years.

[@Bill1955able]

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Man, the voice! Thats a stone hard country voice right there!

The ultimate male singer!

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Classic country waltzer from the great Gene Watson!

[@starr522]

When God said, " I'm gonna create a singer." He must have had Mr Watson in mind.

[@andrewwingrove5724]

He sings beautiful.🌍☮️

[@richardwatson9063]

I'm Richard Watson from Kentucky I'm gonna check DNA to see if we are related it would be an honor.

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

As great as another hard core country singer, Vern Gosdin. Gene Watson has a lighter voice but its just as powerful and convincing.

[@cathyboland7005]

i love his songs

My favorite f all of his songs

[@MrRukiddin]

I love Deep Purple,Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd,ZZTop......................and Gene Watson.

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Singers such as Gene Watson and BJ Thomas uses their microphone as their lilting instrument. Its all about phrasing and moving the microphone to the correct place as different words and sentences demand different microphone positions. Few singers master this and even fewer are aware of it.

[@JonBrew]

Why Gene Watson is not in the Country Music HOF I will not know

[@katzz6114]

love it

[@carolynsheffield7098]

Good one

[@georgelustrea2912]

This guy really can sing..

[@bobsink6236]

[@revmary]

The song was so progressive for the tine it was wrote ,. about an interracial couple. White boy and black or Malatta woman.

[@slurpee27]

[@danielwaddell1]

his voice only get s better with age 'his fairwell party is in my opinion the best country song ever .. george jone's is good but gean has him beat ..the only reason he did not do as good as he could was .the fact he loved to sing ballet's .unlike other singer's who sang what ever came their way ..

[@1oldbear1]

Watch how all the other singers get into this song!

[@franballa]
