Porter Wagoner Show - Guest, Mel Tillis & Stonewall Jackson

[@lloydrich522]

I remember as a child watching shows like this in the 1960S with my parents a classic time gone by a simpler time.

[@donaldsavitski9433]

Our uncle George McCormick is the man playing guitar with Porter and Mel

[@user-ci6by1ky6e]

The greatest Country Show of All time there will never be another great performance like this ever again and there hasn't

[@penney304]

Porter always seemed to have so much fun on his shows... Miss him and shows like his.

[@dreamman002]

These shows were great and at 79 I still enjoy watching them!!

[@sonnydave8551]

Stonewall deserves to be in the CMHOF. As good as any male singer in there.!

[@jtoo6060]

Very surprised He’s not in there

[@bozbad]

So true

[@davebob65]

@@bozbad Been thinking that for many years along with ya, and Ole Johnny Paycheck deserves a spot there also, in spite of his problems

[@gordonipock9385]

Stonewall Jackson is a favorite of mine. He has one of the best voices ever for country music. So authentic. And he wrote a lot of great songs. "Washed My Hands in Muddy Water" is perhaps his best of many.

[@chuckprojects9840]

You mean he's not?

[@deenacrow2453]

The great Mel Tillis . He will never be forgotten or replaced love this. Man and his music. Singing in heaven now. God always takes the best.

[@MrJTPEPPER]

Here in NC on Saturday night there were three shows that we always watched. Porter Wagoner, Flat and Scruggs and the Wilburn Brothers. I don't remember the order. At some point I had to get dressed in my formal outfit so I could go out and play. I played bass in a local rock and roll band and I would watch these shows fully dressed to perform until I just had to go. Country music back in those days was written mainly for the older generation but I enjoyed them just the same. I am now 68, and I still play but there is no music written for us now days. I'm sorry for that.

I used to watch this show with my Grandma! It's so crazy to be in my 40's and seeing all these people so young!

[@daisyflowers9334]

Saturday was the day for the Country music shows. I looked forward to them every week as a kid. Porter Waggoner and the Milburn Brothers Show. The Grand Ole Opry Show. They were all so great.

[@wolfedavid3700]

that's WILBURN brothers...………...

[@mosrite60]

And don't forget Hee Haw after 1969. What a lineup for Sat night country music. Those were the real country shows during 60-70s era.

Lester Anderson, thank you so much putting these Porter Wagoner videos up. Dolly Parton sings like an angel.

[@joanlawlor1639]

Fantastic show and great singing artists as well . Love Porter Wagner and I also his fabulous Suits .. Would love them to come back again! I have two Sons and they were both brought up on Country Music! I had my Son, Wife and two Grandchildren .. My little Grandson who is only 2 1/2 years old and I couldn’t believe what he said to his Dad , can you put my music on and I hear George Jones Singing 🎤 I listen to the music all night long brought me back to my Radio Shows when I was a DJ so hard to think at his age that he loves Country Music!! I love Mel Tills and my favourite singer is Stonewall Jackson, play him everyday for my playlists I have made on Spotify .. Alexa is fantastic to have, she will play anything for you!! Dolly is one awesome singer too .. Thanks for a fantastic show Mr DJ .. Love my Country Music till I die 🎤🎸🎶🎵🌟💯

[@jvsmith7888]

Fantastic rendition of All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers. This really makes me miss the old style country music.

[@tinabutkus4619]

Thank you LesterAnderson for posting the porter wagoner. Show ! It’s nice to see these singers that are now gone except Dolly. She is still going strong at 75. and she is better than ever ! Here Dolly is in her prime. Such a beautiful young lady ❤️❤️❤️ Mel Tillis the stuttering boy when he talks but singing you don’t hear it and stonewall Jackson he was a great entertainer too

[@terribarrett9381]

This takes me back to my childhood in the mountains of Leslie County KY. We had a TV antenna at the top of the mountain with a booster....when the antenna was positioned just right and the weather was good we'd get all 3 network channels from Knoxville TN. I loved watching the Porter Wagoner Show, Cas Walker, Hee Haw and the Bonnie Lou and Buster Show. If I could only go back to those wonderful days of my childhood!!

[@mosrite60]

Dolly Parton what a superstar she has become. Has come a long road from Porter's show where she got her first real exposure. Later got into a legal dispute with Porter.

[@patriciajrs46]

Slewfoot was always one of my favorite songs. Loved these. I watched them as a child.

+Scott Beard The high tenor who harmonized with Porter was George McCormick; he played a big f-hole Gibson.

[@skottybeard]

+Tim Mercer Good deal.. Thanks again...

[@dankemble2718]

George McCormick was a legend in his own right. A rock solid rhythym player, he also worked with Wilma Lee and Stony Cooper, the Louvin Brothers and Grandpa Jones. The Wagon Masters were a great band, and George was a big part of their distinctive sound. Don Howser, by the way, was the announcer for the show.

[@lornebain3659]

😁😁

[@Amaberean]

All the folks that I’ve ever heard that worked with Porter said he was a jerk. My dad grew up with him in West Plains, Mo. He said he was a jerk even as a kid. Lol
