I just saw this and shared it with Ricky Van. He sincerely appreciates all your kind remarks. And thank you for sharing his music.

[@SousChef77]

Miss Bettye, thank you for your post, and please let your sweetheart know that he has so many fans even to this day...and to thank him for all of his music. May God Bless you both. This song always blows me away.

[@davidhunt3689]

Ricky Van Shelton one of the strongest voices in country history.

[@janesmith3123]

Always loved Ricky Van Shelton, I still listen to him now.

[@pammorgan721]

I'll leave this world loving you, Simple Man , Somebody Lied , to start

[@brendaisajiw3417]

Right on! Some great ones!

[@nancyhamilton9756]

My favorite of his is Life Turned Her That Way

[@TheNanadale57]

I absolutely agree on this one...it explains why some ladies are the way they are.

[@yvetteadshead4212]

What a lovely voice

[@SuperAdviceGuy]

Ricky Van Shelton After the lights go out., another great song

[@f150bft]

Damn....that man can sing. What a voice!

[@CindyCowan-w7z]

Never heard a bad Ricky Van Shelton song. Love his gospel songs.

[@pikeevans8559]

My favorite Country singer of all times.

[@lc52071]

That was an Elvis play back! You can't find it on the net but you should hear him sing Elvis! "I'll love this world loving you"! He also wrote children's books! Look it up! Yes all the classics were in that room!

[@timcarr6401]

Ricky has/had one of the finest voices period. When you were struggling to explain the fact that he doesn't have typical Country twang, all you have to say is that he is Elvis-like in that respect. Elvis sang all types of music, but when it came to Country music he was devoid of an accent. When he did it, it couldn't be called strictly Country anyway. Elements of Soul and Pop were present. Ricky was certainly surrounded by stars : BJ Thomas, Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle and Lorrie Morgan to name a few. To feature the best songs of that group would occupy you for a long, long time.

[@dawnbailey910]

Classic country is correct!!! Same as Classic rock!!!

[@LittleWolf576]

Van Shelton had several awesome hits...!!

[@delladawn1149]

Retired for some time now. Ricky use to say people said he sounded like Elvis. He sang Elvis’ Wear My Ring Around Your Neck. I have many of his CDs.

[@karenkyoungsc]

Ricky Van Shelton Crime of passion. Dolly Parton and Ricky Van Shelton Rockin Yeats.

[@robertgreene6320]

Karen Young rocking years

[@patgrimes298]

Ricky Van Shelton recorded many other songs, won many awards too. Type in his name, you will see many of his recordings listed, listen to them too. From A Nashville Girl (MUSIC CITY USA PROUD!)

[@SousChef77]

Thank you so much for this. Lots of greats along side of this wonderful man in this video. Love you my brother in Jesus.

[@rgaskins54]

This was originally done by Jack Greene in 1969 and it was #1 for two weeks on Billboard's Country Chart.

[@edford1693]

The man to RVS's right in the rhinestone suit was Porter Wagner. It was on his show in the late 60s early 70s that introduced Dolly Parton to the world. Dolly's "I Will Always Love You" was her tribute to Porter.

[@larrywright6214]

If front, on his right is Lori Morgan on the left is BJ Thomas.

[@brendaisajiw3417]

One of my favorite traditional Country singers and wow what a looker! I haven't seen him in quite a few years but still enjoy his music. 😍

[@sallyatticum]

He just up and quit singing! He didn't like the fast life, wanted to spend time with his family. Gotta respect that, I guess, but, man! that makes me sad. Maybe some day he will decide to record again... I hope so.

[@elvisaustin9553]

Ricky Van Shelton was a great singer in the 90s. There are 2 songs you should check out from him. One is Keep It Between The Lines and another is Crime of Passion. I grew up listening to him and really enjoyed his music. Thank you MRM for doing this one.

[@kimberlywiederhold627]

Thank you. I was trying to remember the title of the song about the guy who picked up a hitchhiker and then they robbed a gas station. I believe that was mama's favorite Ricky Van Shelton song.

[@pammorgan721]

Omg , so many great classics fro this man here :)

[@lindawalker2851]

This song was written by David Tiffin of the Temptations

[@cbilky2914]

Dolly Parton and Ricky Van Shelton Rockin Years is also a great song..I have always enjoyed Ricky's songs..the blonde with the short hair next to him in the video is Lorrie Morgan, she was the wife of the late and Great Singer Keith Whitley

[@margaretpatton4806]

That song is over 60-70 years old. First recorded it by Jack Greene. Ricky has some great songs out there and wonderful #1 hits. Check him out. He also did a remake of "Pretty Woman" I think you'll like.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

This song and “Somebody Lied” are my favorites of his 👏🏻🌟❤️‼️

[@TexasMagnolia]

One of the lost legends! That voice.

[@cindycowan249]

What a sing along !

[@brucecoleman9961]

Another one of Rickey Van Shelton hits was Somebody Lied

[@patgrimes298]

This is a country music song, not every one has to be sung with a twang (there are many not). Ricky Van Shelton recorded it in 1989, Jack Greene in 1969. They both sang it together at Fan Fair, the second time on Ralph Emery's show. I think Jack Greene was very impressed. RVS has had the most beautiful singing voice in country music. He is retired, fans have wanted him to perform again.

[@davidcook5705]

One the most beautiful voices that God ever blessed any man with! Any song he sings is over the top. 👍👍

[@deniserhodes2655]

I love RVS. I was watching orig video and it turned me into Country. That was a big group of top country stars. Beautiful blonde sitting close was Lori Morgan, widow of Keith Whitley. Man can she sing. More great hits by RVS, From a Jack to a Queen, Somebody Lied, He Made her that way, to start with.

[@ksoltar]

that was a room full of legends and greats. and they knew the song. that says something

[@barrettgranger9139]

😂 he’s one of my favorite all time singers and knew you’d like his voice so just wanted to introduce you to him, he’s got a lot of good music so may do another next month .

[@emmahuff250]

One of the best in country music.

[@sundayze]

I took mom and grandma to see RVS when grandma was 90. Ricky was by far her favorite singer. My husband had to carry her to her seat, she had the time of her life. She cried when he sang, "I'll leave this world loving you" because that song reminded her of granddaddy who had died 15 years before. RVS holds a special place in my heart, his voice is so clear and beautiful.

[@OldBoiler62]

This is an old classic country song originally by Jack Greene. Yes, indeed the ones around him and providing some back-up were a virtual whos-who of classic old school country singers. Don't feel bad about not knowing them, I can't put a name to all of them either and I would know their music when I hear it.

[@beverlysanders4209]

Somebody lied by Ricky van shelton is my favorite he gave up country to serve his lord and savior

[@ljriner]

The term is Croon. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett were labeled Crooners. And Yes, Rickey croons with the best of them!

[@okraazy1]

Ricky Van Shelton one oft he best voices! Please do more of his song! Glad to see you appreciated his wonderful voice!! Thanks!

[@onlyme114]

There was a time when people would have RVS plates to put on their car. He had a HUGE impact on country music . A lot of his songs won over fans that never liked country. I remember seeing I LOVE RVS on license plates in back Windows a lot. There's something special about him and when he was on top he packed every place he played. He has always seemed kind of shy but when he took the stage all he had to do was sing without all the jumping around. It didn't matter. His talent is special and so is he.His song Life turned her that way is used a lot by domestic violence advocates. He recorded a lot of songs with so much meaning !

[@lindaeverest2220]

I remember exactly where I was the 1st time I heard Ricky Van Shelton on the radio. Was a fan right away.

[@thekingcobra63]

Saw Ricky in concert, amazing voice, great performance.

[@blu65gibson]

Ricky has a very “Cosmopolitan” sounding voice

[@laurie-lionessnotaewe5902]

I love his version of pretty woman! Soooo good!

[@f150bft]

"Ricky Van" is from Virginia... Lots of great stars in this video.

[@yvonnepeters1914]

Cuz country music is changing a lot. And there's Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle, Porter Wagner, B.J. Thomas, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Willy Nelson, and I think Lorrie Morgan, etc. And I loved when the rest of the stars joined in as backup.

[@saraturner8657]

He actually did a little acting, he was on a Bay Watch episode back in a day

[@saremile]

This was one of the go to songs my Dad's band Southern Exposure covered and he could sing the mess out of this song....miss him

[@wendypowell6357]

Great reaction. Just saw this. A good one from RVS is Rockin Years with Dolly Parton.

[@ljriner]

Other RVS songs: Somebody Lied, Crime of passion,. I'll leave this world loving you

[@JoeHaynie_VJ]

Porter Waggoner's old timey get ups are a hoot.

[@nancyericson4263]

I like "Where Was I?" by Ricky Van Shelton

[@JoeHaynie_VJ]

This was a big hit for Jack Greene iirc. Back in the 60s I think. It became a country standard for a time.

[@ramondwilliam1307]

Ricky has an amazing voice! When he sings it's effortless!

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

You'd probably like his gospel album Don't Overlook Salvation.

[@msvickiGa]

Great choice young man, thank you.

[@marthahigh2171]

That room is full of country stars , the ones that sang real country music.

[@robertclinton6909]

From a jack to a king

[@linkfromhyrule5504]

Ricky Van Shelton's(no relation to Blake Shelton) version of this song is a cover. The original was done by Jack Green in the 1960s.

[@pressendforspanish]

Listen to Ricky Van Sheltons " Keep it between the lines". You'll like it too.

[@tiaelina1090]

What a great song, love his voice as well as the music. Never heard this before, really enjoyed this- thank you

[@yvonnepeters1914]

And one more request....how about Roy Clark's "Ghost Riders in the Sky?" It has to be the one from "COUNTRY ROADS" (formerly uploaded on KZbin under Country Family Reunion). It is GREAT!! I know you'd enjoy it! Thank you! 🙏

[@bigjay123]

In Louisiana thats a 'Swamp Pop' classic. Oldies, R&B with a little 'twist' to it.

[@thekingcobra63]

If you want more upbeat Ricky Van Shelton, try the song Backroads

[@caseyb4425]

This man's voice always gives me chills. I think you might have been thinking of the classic power ballad, but he is true country music. I've listened to him since I was a teenager and all of his songs are this powerful.

[@armywife1641]

Somebody lied by him 😍😍😍😍

[@loisfreeman1646]

This is great.

[@rowdynation1810]

Awesome

[@nateeller2748]

One of the best Baritones, ever!

[@shirleycarr5387]

Always liked that song .jack green did it originally but Ricky did it justice .

[@bobwallace9814]

He was a staple in the jukebox of a dive bar we all went to back in the 90's. Karaoke time and some drunk would always attempt this song with bad results.

[@bobwallace9814]

If you wanted to hear another......From a Jack to a King.

[@lindanadeau1884]

Tried to watch this. Computer went nuts. Had to shut it off and reboot it.

[@margiepelcman9837]

There's quite a few Country Legends sitten next to him❤

[@caseyb4425]

Country's Family Reunion on RFD TV keeps us in touch with our country music legends. It's a great way to hear stories from them about life on the road during their careers. (that was where that video segment came from)

[@CodyCloudWalker]

yep, and none of them could sing as good as him.

[@39thala]

Such a great, strong voice!

[@mikepierce1872]

The Jack Green version I heard some years before this one sounds a little better in my opinion.

[@josiahrobinson6135]

This live version is great, but the actual video is even better. Ricky is my favourite country artist - I have all his albums and have seen him at least ten times in concert. Thanks for doing it. More reactions to any of his music would be appreciated, as would more reactions to my overall favourite artist, Dan Vasc.

[@rhondabutterbaugh1200]

Please react to Ricky Van Shelton and Dolly Parton singing Rocking Years.

[@sallyatticum]

I LOVE Ricky Van Shelton. One of my favorite vocalists. He sang gospel songs, as well. You should check them out. Old Rugged Cross is one of my favorite songs and his rendition is gorgeous. Also Mansion Over the Hilltop. (I love traditional gospel)

[@pennyyoung3166]

I think the original singer was jack green

[@sallyatticum]

His wife posted a video of them doing a home interview in 2001. They basically walked around showing off their gorgeous property and all the goofy stuff RVS collects and builds. "Ricky Van Shelton Home in 2000"

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Please react to more RVS songs...Life Turned Her That Way, Somebody Lied, I'll Leave This World Loving You...

[@randyb8379]

Well sent too soon if you liked his song try life turned her this way and leave this world loving you he sounds more country but like statue bof a fool he's great thanks Randy in traverse city Michigan please try his songs think you will enjoy

[@joanyow7952]

try Jack Green's original version Statue of a Fool

[@barrettgranger9139]

I had to eventually turn you on to some RIcky Van Shelton 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

[@sallyatticum]

It was one I requested, too! I love love this song, even though this isn't even my favorite performance of his. It's a little higher than others. I saw him in concert. Amazingly, he just stood in one place and played the guitar and sang. Amazing.

[@barrettgranger9139]

Laura Kay yea I picked this one bc it really shows the power of his voice, I may request another next month idk bc I’d like to introduce him to “The Voice” Vern Gosdin too so 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

[@triggermanperst]

I think you'll like Somebody Lied

[@jimithy47]

He is a very talented artist but I haven't heard anything from or about him in a few years.

[@lovemyrainydays]

Yes!! He was one of those really good country acts that arrived on the scene toward the end of the 80s, I always loved his voice - kinda smooth and "croony" rather than super-twangy country. My favourite song of his though is the cover of Wear My Ring Around Your Neck he did for the Honeymoon in Vegas soundtrack. Also loved Backroads, Crime of Passion, Keep it Between the Lines, etc.

[@kimberlywiederhold627]

This video is old. Porter Wagner is still alive.

[@beverlyastorga6825]

He retired after 20 years.

[@Bandit77TA]

I've heard his name but not the song. I'm not really into country but I liked this. Heck of a voice.

[@jamesbrackett575]

I loved listening to Ricky his voice was perfect to bad the bottle got ahold of him he writes children's books now

[@rowdynation1810]

Ricky Van Shelton is country as it can get. You need to dive deeper into his set list.

[@loisfreeman1646]

I'll Leave This World Loving You. Try it.

[@carolboe4179]

Listen to God turned her that way.

[@clunkers948]

Backroads is a good one as well. good cruising song

[@duckducknight]

I like Jack Greene's version better. He has a great voice with a sound of tears in his voice.

[@brendaisajiw3417]

Ty, though for the most part Ricky Van Shelton sang traditional Country this song wasn't considered traditional Country at the time. It was a bit of a "crossover" song for lack of a better word but done really well by him. 👍

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Great reaction - now do Keep it Between The Lines

[@bertjarvis5688]

Ricky done a good job on this song but, when you grow up listening to Jack Green doing it there is no substitute for Jack
