Porter Wagoner Show - Guest, Webb Pierce (1969)

[@aloisemason3044]

Webb Pierce what a country music legend that is sadly missed..Greatest vocalist and guitar player ..what a melody and the rhythem is phenomenal..great entertainer and love the performance..this video is old and darkened..

[@kennymartin3416]

Hard to believe this was recorded live..the mix was spot on.

[@allenstolz2055]

People really need to remember how great these guys are, and how they shaped country music.

[@bobbythornton2510]

I remember watching these shows as a kid growing up in the 60's. Thanks for posting.

[@jdramsey9862]

I just gotta say that I love going back and watching all these old music shows... it's just so home drawn and down to earth and heartfelt... it's hard to even try to replace it with anything else.

[@mosrite60]

Porter and Dolly still the best duo in country music. This show goes back to 60s, yet the show is very entertaining. Porter was awesome.

[@debrajeanwagoner3520]

Went to High School with Webb's daughter, Debbie. RIP Debbie Pierce. She was a lot of fun, had a great personality, pretty too.

[@2packs4sure]

She sang well too.

[@keithclark486]

Debra do you remember talent day at school when she use to sing ?

[@aloisemason3044]

Webb Pierce singing Rosa is beautiful..never heard anything this beautiful..What a wonderful story told in a song.. phenomenal..thank you

[@webbjr37]

Great job by the #1 hit maker of the 50s, Songs like this was the reason

[@nono-zc1dj]

Webb pierce is just so good but is very underrated and he found some many country stars and he also was the biggest country artist after hanks death

[@shirleyharrison2580]

Love the song 'Little Rosa'.. I have it on a cassette tape but don't have cassette player in my new car so can't play it there anymore. My husband, deceased now, loved Bluegrass music & had a lot of tapes & old record albums. I have a record player & sometimes play them. We neither one liked the country music they have now. Just the old ones of Loretta Lynn & Conway, George & Tammy, Porter & Dolly, Buck Ownes, Bill Monroe ,Flatt & Scruggs ect..

[@mosrite60]

Little Rosa.....what a song....great to hear again thx for uploading

[@DrMatey215]

Great episode Dolly Parton was a treat. Professional job by all!

[@manoelluiz2697]

Demais, ícones do country music, o Porter W., sempre com seu estilo característico, que lhe identifica entre os demais, roupas estilos e elegantes, o mesmo para o Webb Pierce. Já partiram mas deixam saudades. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS -Brasil.

[@EbenezarGold]

The steel sound of Don Warden just knocks me out every time.

[@pkranz937]

Oh yeah. He really had his own sound. I think he worked with Webb Pierce and Red Sovine as well.

[@jameshepburn4631]

Also a big fan of Don's style.

Mais uma vez assisto este grande este grande espetáculo, a grande apresentação musical de outrora, bom demias; maneco - Porto Alegre-RS -Brasil.

[@tannertaylor9432]

That little rosa song makes me cry every time Red Sovine could always write a tear jerker

[@rowdyyates724]

My parents never missed an episode. Hee haw as well an Wilburn Brothers to.

[@kevinscarborough9882]

Dolly just kills it on Move It On Home. Her voice is so strong and clear! Always a pleasure seeing Mack Magaha, the dancin' fiddle player.

[@tinabutkus4619]

This is 1969 the year Dolly joined the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 23 was so beautiful and still is so funny her laugh just kills me just love it 😍

[@MsHillbilly24]

Enjoyed watching this .thanks for sharing with us .

[@grammadee9443]

THANKs love watching your shows. Lots of memories of porter dolly & band they were jn our area many times 70s 80s. I'll be watching ykyr other videos also.

[@josephhooker3035]

23 year old dolly is flipping adorable!

[@taylorarmour340]

I fell in love with Dolly Parton the first time ever hurt her she's still beautiful

[@taylorarmour340]

I want trying to say is I fell in love with Dolly Parton the first time I listen to her saying and I still love her

[@bazthehandyman]

The fabulous Porter Waggoner....he got Dolly off the ground...and many others.

[@packingten]

Porter shows just make u feel good!!.

[@manoelluizteixeira8073]

Bom demais, eles deixam muita saudade, - uma vez que que intérprete e músicos de hoje não chegam a categoria e performance deles, seja na criação ou mesmo na perfeição técnica, emoção, improviso e muito mais. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.

[@7550375503]

America was in a better mood back then. Porter was always in a good mood .

[@dave4854]

back then, they made real music and not a lot of noise

[@7550375503]

Yes.

[@harrybeavers9906]

America was in a better mood. Yes. Vietnam war with protests and turmoil. Kennedy bros. assassinated. MLK assassinated. Malcolm X assassinated. Nixon just getting started w/cover ups and dirty tricks. Yup, those were better times!

[@7550375503]

Harry Beavers You were obviously watching the News. I was watching P & D.

[@harrybeavers9906]

Touche, my friend. Well played.

[@briancharette5005]

This was a classic show for a lot of years!

[@coreyguthrie5485]

There on the RFD channel now, only certain provider's carry the channel though, RFD airs Porter Wagoner Show, The Wilburn Brothers' Show, Country Carnival, Nashville On The Road, Pop Goes The Country, & Hee Haw, plus Country's Family Reunion & Larry's Country Diner....

[@jandeband]

COUNTRY PERFECTION

[@Grahamgusbull]

October 1969,I was in the queue outside the Ryman,a stretch limo drew up and out stepped Porter and Dolly in matching outfits,plus cloaks....magic!..... The nearest the U.S. ever got to Royalty!

[@grammadee9443]

graham bull love yohr statement 3 yrs ago on porter & dolly oh theres a story i could tell 1972 at the hoilday inn in [?)MASS. Its no longer there but the memories sure are not with P&D but we had fun with the band.😊

[@kellyjay2447]

So...........I had heard that Willie Nelson bought all of these old country TV shows just so Rural TV could reintroduce them to America. If so, great job Willie!

Love Buck Trent's GUITAR playing!

[@johnnyjerrell1088]

Use to listen to porter every sat night miss them

[@SGComun1dad]

These guys were my hillbilly heroes, back in the day. I had to get a guitar and make those sounds myself. They played this great music on the radios during the week days, just the way they play this stuff coming out of Nashville today that they call country but it isn't because they didn't grow up on real country and don't have it in them to made those sounds.

[@markcarbonaro6524]

Contemporary country music is nothing more than bad rock n roll sung with a twang. There's no pickin', very little steel and the fiddles sound like they were hired out of a symphony orchestra. Not good at all and not very interesting to listen to.

[@stanharnett3434]

I'll grant

[@t4texastom587]

@@markcarbonaro6524 TOTALLY agree Mark👍

[@Pickinbuddy]

NOBODY sings like Webb Pierce!

[@aloisemason3044]

Dolly Parton is a legend of country music..This is really where she got her fame and glory..Porter Wagner was so supportive of Dolly and he did not go wrong..She is tremendously good..

[@mosrite60]

The shows were pure and simple back then. Nowadays just so commercialized that it is difficult to even watch. Sure, all new country stars have the talent, but the delivery package has changed dramatically. The music is focused on the 18-25 age. Forget about us folks over 45. Good to have reruns on Hee Haw, Porter and others. RDF-TV

[@t4texastom587]

As most lovers of authentic country music know, Webb Pierce was the top selling country singer during the 1950s until the explosion of rocknroll put a huge dent in the popularity of Pierce and country music in general. Pierce got his start in recording in 1949 on the 4-Star label, and then on his own label, Pacemaker. He, along with Hank Williams and many other great singers, groups and bands, was one of the very early members of the Louisiana Hayride.

[@dianewilson8173]

The song you asked what he was singing first was Easy Come, Easy Go - Porter

[@dianewilson8173]

Thank you Jimmy Thompson for responding to this. I just saw your message today. I didn't realize I could get messages. Loved Porter Wagoner. Finally got to see and meet him in a Casino in South Dakota as I was travelling back home.

[@kevinmallow2826]

I takes a lot to stir my emotions but the clown got me!

Webb Pierce equals real country music

[@wolfedavid3700]

leather shirt?........great song #1 hit......remember it well........skating rink tune in the south....

[@alanoffer]

After Hank died Webb pierce was the biggest country star in the fifties , if you look up the number of weeks some of his hits had in the charts it’s incredible ,

[@MIKECNW]

Move it on home. Wonderful.

[@tinabutkus4619]

This was also the year that Hee Haw premiered and yes Archie was part of hee haw that was a great show too ! it’s sad that country went more pop than keeping its heart and soul ! This is true country music

[@indiancreekspirit5102]

Great work you rock

[@Docsjeff]

His car in the CMHOF is AWESOME!!!

[@gerardlarkinhaverstock5153]

A great singer and a true American.

[@zzubuzz]

Growing up in the North (Mich) the Porter show was never broadcasted here, bummer, never saw any of this show till KZbin was online, sure was a good show. Sometimes the performances on his show were even better than the recording studio, or were a one-off.

[@hennihabeck8502]

Well, No usw to complain! You Had W.K.Z,O. Rem Wall!

[@zzubuzz]

@@hennihabeck8502 I don't get what a "usw" is, or a what a "Rem Wall" is, but I am familiar with WKZO, which is a Kalamzoo AM radio station which does not broadcast all the way to the Detroit region. I listened to WKZO via smart phone streaming radio app, up until they cancelled my favorite conservative talk show host (Dr. Michael Savage/Savage Nation)...otherwise I wouldn't know what that meant either. In any case, here in yankee land, we were lucky to get the Johnny Cash show and Hee Haw, but no "Nashville tonight" or Porter Wagoner. I'd know because my dad was a Tennessee native and would have been watching them.

[@hennihabeck8502]

Usw Stands for use! W.K.Z.O. had a TV Station with a regular Country Music Show, even older than the Grande Ole Opry! The Country Music Star was the Well known Rem Wall WHO lived inKalamazoo. His Family is still living there. His Son Rendall worked for Gibson Guitar Co.even after they moved to Nashville, he was still their repräsentative. At Times of Porter Wagner Shows and the Like RemWall was already a Star at W.K.Z.O. I know theynow moved some place Else,Rem Wall passed away and Rendall, in the mean time 79, still works for Heretage Guitars once in a while, that is of Corona did Not Catch him!?

[@fullshark09]

Rare footage of porter wagoner without a flamboyant suit. He explains it midway tho.

Wow what a fiddle player..sensational along with Porter Wagner..

[@craigwood7063]

This is why Red Sovine needs to be in the Country Music hall of Fame.

[@mosrite60]

man these shows were great.....too bad they're not around or anything to replace these pure country shows from Nashville. Where oh where did Nashville go so wrong? It is really pitiful that they have gone so "mainstream" this is really sic!

[@cwad31wad27]

Anyone know what brand acoustic guitar Porter and Webb are playing? They have the same picguard and headstock shape I've never seen before.

[@fullthrottlejeffry]

Porter's were custom made by a Nashville company I forget the name. Those guitars had an incredible tone and Porter had several...

[@keithclark486]

​@@fullthrottlejeffry Grammar Guitars Made by Billy Grammer.

[@JRPetruk]

Webb was a great country performer. He really invented the Bakersfield sound and taught it to Buck Owens

[@sandracross542]

This is Sandra cross buz butler is my dad you can find him on you tube I'm trying to get him the recognition he never had if anybody can help please hit back from the original mule train makers daughter

[@7550375503]

The Wagonmasters worked with precision. A hand crafted, well oiled machine. they nailed "More & More" with Webb, "Little Rosa" is the instrumental version of "Teardrops In My Heart", performed by "Coco"/Red Sovine. they nailed it too. Miss Dolly's song however they butchered. She had HER part down pat.

[@2000toddowen]

Webb looks like Robbie Rotten from Lazytown. Still an inspiration though.

Are these RFD broadcasts the first time Porter's show has been seen since its original broadcast? It's vary rare to see these type of shows in reruns.

Dang that porter can sing

[@markcarbonaro6524]

Little Rosa by Webb Pierce is a great song

[@7550375503]

..cold a been an "off day" that day...Porter naked from the waist down & all.. Still in all, the very worst of anything they may ever do is over the moon compared to that crap I call Nashville Now,(not your show Mr. Ralph Emery), rather the recorded garbage that used to be deserve "Country" in front of the word music. Can I get an Amen?

Raises the hair on the back of my neck & every where else. Webb held the record for #1's until Conway TwittyI believe-over took him. Will have to Google to say 4-Shure :0

What's the song he's singing at the start?

+Brew That was "Fireball Mail"..originally done by Roy Acuff in the 1940s. Earl Scruggs turned it into a banjo showpiece in the early 60s.
