Jimmy Martin - 1971 - When the Savior Reached Down His Hands for Me

[@MimicoMuser]

I'm often shocked and saddened by the hateful comments on KZbin. Jimmy Martin is an outstanding performer. I'm sure he'd be ashamed of the comments here.

[@pooroldcancollector2097]

I'm 30 and listen to Jimmy Martyn daily. Hope this brings a little bit of comfort to you. I think he's a legend. If it were me, I couldn't hope for much more than that. And if I have the pleasure someday of having children and grandchildren, you better rest goddamn assured that they will listen to this stuff too.

[@blueridger28]

Ive heard this song 100 times going to church in southern Appalachia, good call

[@OwenMoney1]

I love this song and this performance. Thank you Jimmy and the boys!!!

[@fullshark09]

Jimmy Martin had incredible live performances.

[@bwjr1981]

All of these people talking trash about Jimmy Are STUPID! Jimmy Was the best singer in Bluegrass music! NO ONE can beat his voice! Who Cares if he cussed and talked the way he did! He knew he was the BEST and didnt care what ANYONE thought! Jimmy Martin Is THE KING OF BLUEGRASS! RIP JIMMY!!!!!

[@brewsky38c]

They’re just jealous! Jimmy was the king 👑 of bluegrass….

[@liveordieunholy6143]

Hands down doesn’t get enough credit

[@Over-for-now]

Who talks trash about Jimmy.? I will teach them a lesson

[@brewsky38c]

Jimmy had that voice… best bluegrass voice I’ve ever heard. He can sing and physically change your emotions. A true legend and king 👑

[@cherylcook6837]

Beautiful song beautifully done. My mom a Martin. This man is family. Much love and blessings....

[@brewsky38c]

Made my hair stand up, give me goosebumps then the words took over made me cry like a baby. Thank you father for everything you’ve done for little me….praise you praise you

[@daledebord7368]

Yes it will made you cry very true amen

[@gzkarr3730]

We are all small in comparison to G-d. The fact that He would sacrifice Himself in the Son Christ Jesus is a true testament of His love for us poor sinners. Thank you Jesus!

[@daviddavis3426]

Beautiful song, professionally done!!!!!!

[@rhondalawsonrescuekendinlawson]

I went to my great uncle Jimmy Martins house growing up and I remember Ol Pete. He had a lot of dogs . He made me cry laughing everytime I saw Jimmy. He was the BEST !!!!!!

[@randalclarke5487]

Really????

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

Hey Rhonda, I was down on 57 Easter Brothers had his bus sitting on the lot, I talked to someone there, he said go on board take a look, Jimmy was gone I did a walk around and left, I got some good vides just seeing it.

[@thommysides4616]

Did he take his dogs Coon hunt'in? Ha ha....

[@user-or4yp6qe1c]

Jimmy Martin was a singer of gospel music one of the best

[@MrJDFrog]

Grew up on church music like this. I know Jimmy was a Tennessee boy, but this makes me homesick for my old Kentucky home.

[@sclawman]

Nobody could sing like Jimmy.

[@Anne-po99]

Beautiful. Remembering the early days of being saved.

[@BeingRomans829ed]

Amen indeed!!

[@steinsteel]

He wears his hat like a KING. The Greatest singer in Bluegrass

[@BillMcGirr]

It’s no coincidence that the very hat he wears in this video… is the one in the picture on his tombstone. He bought it at Loretta Lynn’s clothing store at the time. It’s a woman’s rodeo hat.🤷‍♂️ Jimmy thought it would look good on stage. It did.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🥃

[@finnmcginn9931]

​@@BillMcGirrLorreta Lynn had a clothing store? I'm not from the States, where was it located?

[@BillMcGirr]

@@finnmcginn9931 Probably Nashville Tennessee. I’m sure it closed a long time ago.🤷‍♂️

[@willanicole6356]

MY DAD LOVED THIS SONG AND LOVED JIMMY BOTH ARE GONE AND MISSED EVERYDAY. ALWAYS IN MY HEART❤

[@oldmate1342]

Thank you Jimmy and the boys...

[@jbash1970]

Back in the day there was'nt many any better than Jimmy Martin.This was the best version of this song that I have ever heard I love it could listen to it everyday such a great sound and harmony Kenny Ingram really put his all into his playing and singing.Jimmy Martin was the King of Bluegrass.

[@darleneyonker7721]

What great music! Remember when my mom would listen to these same songs! Sadly, I do not hear such singing as this.

[@jasperiffic1]

Pure bluegrass gospel gold!

[@bcg911]

Another great one from the King of Bluegrass! I miss Jimmy and his music a lot!

[@paulrussell5722]

King of bluegrass JIMMY MARTIN

[@thommysides4616]

Man..... this just blesses my soul more than I can say. God bless you all....

[@TruegrassBoy]

I knew Jimmy and he had a kind heart and soul. His voice was the richest and smoothest ever to sing and was God given. Rest in peace Jimmy and God bless you!

[@dennismurphy8000]

God Bless ya bro

[@joebyrne5277]

This would bring a tear to a glass eye 😔

[@LT1HILLINGHOE]

[@TruegrassBoy]

[@kent9311]

great performance by jimmy. one of the best versions of this great ole gosple song. thanks for sharing.

[@bwjr1981]

@SOTHISISDEMOCRACY , Carter was very good and I love all His and Ralphs music! But Hands down Jimmy Martin Was the best Singer and and his music had so much drive!! Jimmy's guitar playing and RUNS was second to NONE!!!!!

[@AppalachianHarmony]

Mercy! What masterful harmony!

[@dennismurphy8000]

I really love his music

[@bazthehandyman]

Brill.....this sound is long gone now.

[@SigP229R]

This is possibly my favorite song by him

[@jeffstanford6187]

SigP229R yessssssss

[@bcg911]

My favorite Jimmy Martin song is whichever Jimmy Martin song I'm listening to at the time!

[@dustbat]

Jimmy had some good stuff. My favorites: twenty twenty vision walking around blind. I can't quit cigarettes. Ocean of diamonds. Saw him embarrass a player who could not keep time. Stopped the show and told audience to take a good look at this old boy cause he won't be back. Man!

[@lavernesmikrud5875]

Jimmy Martin was a major force in bluegrass music. He could have been a super star in country and bluegrass had it not been for his personality. It's a shame because his recordings are among the greatest ever made.

[@thommysides4616]

Can you expound on his personality? There are truly great men who don't fit the mold of what the world wants. I know this from vast experience!

[@OSCAR82AA]

MORE , MORE . JIMMY IS THE KING !

[@WhtMntWarrior]

You go bwjr Jimmy was The King and Like Elvis to Rock n Roll, No One can ever bump him from that position. Jimmy had more heart in his little finger than most will ever see. May your soul rest in peace Jimmy and I pray you are sitting at the feet of our Sweet Jesus

[@sartainja]

Amen. Jimmy is the King of Bluegrass.

[@sawmilljim01]

What awesome blending vocals and music. Love this immensely.

[@jackhackett80]

My dad drove Jimmy's tour bus for a while

[@thommysides4616]

Cool.... do you have any pics or stories to tell?

[@joshuagoodman3854]

Now, THAT was SOME singing!

[@davidjones9518]

The best

[@pauljacobs1911]

Who else is here because of the interview Otis Gibbs posted of Mike Bub?

[@robertwynkoop7112]

Yes indeed, and I have been looking at John Hartford and Earl Scruggs too, not to mention Del and the boys…..

[@T-roy33]

🙋🏻‍♂️yes

[@jaygatsby1]

Better question. Who has watched this video a 100 times (at least) BEFORE seeing the Mike Bub vid and his mention of it? Still waiting on Otis to post that Amazing Grace on the pipes beside Earl’s grave in the twilight tho.

[@tima1929]

(When he reached down his hand for me) Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way I was wretched and vile as could be But my Saviour in love gave me peace from above When he reached down his hand for me When he reached down his hand for me when he reached way down for me I was lost and undone without my God or his son When he reached down his hand for me I was near to despair when he came to me there And he showed me that I could be free Then he lifted my feet gave me gladness complete When he reached down his hand for me When he reached down...

[@shelibeane]

What a marvelous video of one of the greatest Bluegrass entertainers we've ever known. The impeccable mandolin work by the great Ronnie Prevette defined Martin's music for years. This is such a treat to view. Thanks for sharing!!

[@thommysides4616]

Amen!

[@billbrown8006]

Amen praise God

[@SS-fv6cw]

Beautiful version. My grandfather used to be a pastor and would have seen this. This song always stayed in my heart thank you for posting

[@MaximusWolfe]

Praise the Lord of my soul. And thank you Jimmy for the mellifluous tunes.

[@LT1HILLINGHOE]

You are correct. The Gift of Salvation is something you must accept into your heart. The gift of forgiveness of your sins being bought and paid for by Jesus Christ. Once that gift is receieved, you will live for the Lord.

[@billylittleton3395]

the best blue grass singer

[@afpm7]

My Dad dated a girl that was a bluegrass station DJ. According to her, Jimmy Martin, upon meeting her for the first time, asked for some trim. My feelings for him are, shall we say, muted.

[@joshferguson9703]

Well honestly Jimmy was kinda of a rebel in bluegrass he drank smoked cussed and fought all the time that was the reason he didn’t get to the opry but no of that matters he loved Jesus and was the best singer and entertainer of True Grass in history now I love Big Mon(the father of bluegrass)The Stanley Bros and Larry Sparks but Jimmy was the King for a reason

[@willanicole6356]

BEAUTIFUL ❤

[@Bascomblodge]

That is great soul singing!

[@brewskytrucker]
