I remember listening to him with my dad as I grew up. I’ve always loved his music. After my dad died I got in his truck and started playing a greatest hits tape of Don Williams. Lord I Hope This Day Is Good began playing.

[@ladyhawk6999]

I have been a life long fan of Don Williams. His voice is very soothing. I remember him well in the seventies and attended one of his last concerts . May he RIP

[@davidflett8107]

Why do you put the sad ending . You do my head in. Hopefully you'll have a sad ending. Prick.

[@chandamusonda6883]

Grew up listening to this music. My dad would play it from the tapes and cassettes. It's the music I still listen to even now. RIP Don Williams

[@robertfish4052]

8 tracks babe, 8 tracks. Ooohh yeahh. Dr Don Williams. He could dilute a row with the mother in law and fix it.

[@kimmyhawk5530]

Don Williams was a great singer/songwriter.... RIP Don.. ❤️🙏

[@okoma247]

I can't stop listening to Don. I grew up listening to Don, Jim Reeves everyday in my Mum's car and the song I play daily now is "If I needed You" amongst many others. I ended up with a total collection of Don Williams hits. May His Soul keep Resting in Peace.

Hi Mary, how are you doing? sorry for infringe your privacy dear, his songs are lovely

[@jenniferperkins4387]

My aunt and uncle named their youngest son, born on my birthday when I was 9, after Don Williams. I remember many a day sitting in their living room listening to his music with them. They even wrote to him and told him about naming their son after him and how much his music meant to them. The got a lovely letter back. It broke my aunt's heart when he died but she did get to see one of his last concerts.

[@jackiemcadams6727]

Don Williams has my one of my favorite singers in the world J M

[@jasonharris9990]

I've loved Don since I first heard him in the late 70"s. His song that I liked the most was "I believe in You". I had tickets 2 years in a row the last years of his life but unfortunately due to his health both times they were cancelled, a big regret in my life that I never got to see him in person.

[@mermaidgirl9232]

Don was the best ever. I can’t remember how many times I saw him in concert,he would come out on stage and sit on a stool. His music was and still is fantastic.

[@josecarrasco9609]

What was the "Tragic Ending of Don Williams"? The man lived a successful live, with his God given talent . We ALL die ! Of one thing or another. At what age of dying is accepetable?

[@jacquismith3277]

It's ridiculous, isn't it? I read the tragic truth about George Harrison - no tragedy except his death. Who writes this tosh?

[@davidjacksonjackson3212]

Another great artist we have lost, his voice was very distinctive and sounded good ,I enjoyed his music very much, RIP

[@almostlivechannelkjlw-42pr4]

His music lives on.....🎶

[@jeannettesills5349]

I grew up listening to Don Williams along with many other country music legend's but Don Williams was my favorite! What I really loved about him was he had his own way of singing and I loved it. I loved his music 🎶 so well that I recorded myself singing his songs. I was driving to town one day listening to the radio and the station I was listening to got interrupted by the news and they said that Don Williams just passed away and I couldn't do anything but cry 😢. I wanted to meet him so bad but never got to but I know someday we will All be "Gathering at the River" in the Sky Lord 🙏 in the SKY 🙏! The world 🌍 misses you Don Williams 💗

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

So far, this one is my favorite! 💘

[@charitysndhlovu7274]

Rip legend will forever be missed

[@patmurray1076]

One of the Best Concerts I've even seen..RIP

[@nickmoen6051]

Most underrated country star of all time in my opinion. He wasn't really in the whole outlaw country scene so I think he gets overlooked because of that but a voice like butter and simple lyrics everyone can sing along to!

[@ikechukwuezenwaka4127]

Don has always been my best when it is countryside music

[@gloriacedillo2112]

I loveed his music and still do. You are missed Don Williams. May his soul Rest in Peace and perpetual light shine upon him❤❤❤

[@nyikomakaringe3454]

I love Don Williams, i always listen to him ❤

[@garymiller6594]

Followed Don Williams for his entire career & saw him in person at Billy Bob’s in Ft. Worth in the late 90’s. Phenomenal voice, extremely friendly & the epitome of traditional country cool. God gave him that wonderful voice, Don shared it with us.

[@antonchayadi7507]

Rip Don williams, u are my best singer country song

I missed a concert of Don's in Spokane in the eighties I believe and have been kicking myself for years. NO one could sing like that man and still can't. Oh, for another chance!

[@muanpuiam.khupno7289]

Lord, I hope this day is good

This is my favourite lyrics and song,besides John Denver and Jim reeves.

[@johnland1528]

Gone but never forgotten

[@BRM202]

I was in Kigali, Rwanda back in 2006 and was visiting a French couples house. We were listening to all sorts of French records when the lady told me that she was sorry that they had but only one record album in English. Low and behold she drags out a Don Williams "Volume Two" album. I told her that she couldn't have more of a perfect album for that moment. The first song on the album is "I wish I were in Nashville". Being that I was in the army at the time, from Nashville and on a mission far from home. It hit deep. Also, this was my father's music and now that he's gone it reminds me of him and when we would listen to Don Williams on the 8 track in his truck.

[@lynnnewton3876]

I saw a Don Williams in Odessa, TX in 1981 or 1982. He sat on a high stool with just his guitar. Absolutely beautiful. Remember him with the Pozo Seco Singers (spelling).

[@josephr.lejeune4539]

Thank you for sharing. Don Williams was a wonderful song writer!

[@MASS1866]

Why are all of your click bait videos “sad” endings “. I’ve known this about your channel for a long time and the only reason I clicked this one is I’m such a fan of Don Williams. The only thing sad about performers like this is they have to get old and leave us like anyone else. You should be changing your titles as most of your content is pretty good and informative as well. You don’t have to be quite so histrionic in your titles to get views in my opinion just provide good content. My opinion. Take it as you will. But thanks for this one.

[@nkechimordi]

Thank you

He died of emphysema, not natural cause . If didn’t smoke too much , he will still alive , I think .. sad....

[@rebeccagandi5301]

Why you Said Sad Ending Because William is A man of our Time?

[@lavanderwilliams794]

When the voices, sung legibly, and instruments, played, both without computers, made the music. That was my time, and probably yours too.

[@terrencedube9702]

He even lived full time,l don’t see tragic

[@bryannelson6139]

Great video but what's so tragic about his death from emphysema ? It's sad but that's not tragic, he didn't die in an accident, and he didn't die young.

Thinking of him on what would have been his 84th birthday.

The Don is dead (1973)

[@BrokenneckYgor]

Don forgot to take his meds

[@BronzeAgeDeviant]

How is this a "tragic ending?" Everyone dies. Clickbait. Don seemed to have had a normal ending. Died at the average age for men.

[@hulenbryant5637]

So he had a successful music career that spanned DECADES, had a great life and died of natural causes basically. Talk about click bait titles. I think I’ll skip them from now on since that’s how you seem to title everything.
