The Waltons - Merle Haggard - Nobody's Darling

[@lynnkanerva4519]

Merle Haggard and 'Nobody's Darlin' can't get much better than that.

[@Joy7BS]

Cant get any better then that-----

[@paulcollins1918]

The greatest Waltons Episode ever.

[@nancy9478]

No one sang like Merle. No fancy tricks, no runs, nothing fake. Just pure talent tugging at the heartstrings.

[@megiloth3634]

Dad was stationed at Fort Sill (Lawton, OK) at the time this aired, and Mom recorded this from the speaker to an old cassette recorder so she could play it. Mom was a huge Hag fan. RIP Mom (1952 - 1997)

[@susansheldon3177]

Sorry for your loss, she was so young . GOD willing we will all reunite with loved ones some day 💞🙏✝️🕊️

[@megiloth3634]

@@susansheldon3177 I absolutely believe that. Yeah she turned 45 just a few months earlier. The “ big c” got her. Led fairly healthy life. Didn’t drink smoke etc. things just happen I suppose.

[@susansheldon3177]

@@megiloth3634 they do, we lost a lot of family these last 3+1/2 years.2 brothers, 4 sisters, the 4th sister only a month and 2 days ago from a massive brain stem bleed. It's hard, but I keep my Faith in The WORD of GOD , and that gets me through.

[@stevekelley7738]

THE ORIGINAL MOLD for how a classic country voice and music should sound . Awesome !

[@catfishcooler1566]

Merle Haggard lifted his entire vocal style from LEFTY FRIZZELL. It was so blatant both he and Lefty use to joke about it. Merle was a better songwriter but it was Lefty's style that continues to influence country singing to this day.

The Hag is missed by many many people. RIP Merle

I saw The Episode Of the Waltons just today, this man's voice is just beautiful and comforting.

His sons are pretty amazing. They sound a lot like him.

My ex wife loved the waltons. God bless her and twenty tears togeather

[@kellyshomemadekitchen]

My Dad and I both were always HUGE fans of Merle Haggard and he always sang Nobody’s Darlin to me when I was little. He wanted it played at his funeral but my awful mother wouldn’t allow it. So every time I visit my Dad’s grave, I always play this song along with a few other songs of Merle’s my Dad loved….😓

[@johnboyle3884]

the good old days,never again.............

[@volfanjohn5042]

This scene always brought a tear to my eye. Merle was great.

[@lisabishop7880]

For sure me too no matter how many times I watch it , actually more I think . Crying now

[@phspalace1021]

Merle Haggard, the best voice in country music. 👍

[@johnsonn9517]

It's gonna be a long time before the world sees talent like Merle. He truly a once in a generation gift.

[@jimbrew3058]

I was watching this program and thrilled to see Merle perform, years ago. I've never forgot how beautiful the performance.

[@char4him99]

The best, right!!!

[@violetbennett2407]

I saw that show too.

[@Tonetwisters]

Boy, that's good. His voice instantly gets down into your heart.

[@jeanlabbe1188]

I have enjoyed this special appearance of Merle Haggard on the Waltons. He has a wonderful singing voice that represent the traditional country music style that is too quickly disappearing.

[@sadee1287]

@ImNotMad ButUR No, not gone. But hard to find. Radio won't push back against the labels' trend of "new country," so you have to dig for it. Sad reality unfortunately.

[@petewheeler3146]

One of the gifts in my life was growing up and enjoying all of Merle’s one 1 hits and was so many that he had,,,he was one of a kind,,,my book one of the greatest ever

[@markc9071]

That's something special right there! That's one of the best scenes from any episode of the Waltons.

[@mikestansberry2720]

This summer will be 30 years with my little darlin'. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Her unconditional love and support has never stopped. We enjoy watching the Waltons (made the trip to Schuyler, Va. to Earl Hamner 's home and the Waltons museum) and still watch it today. Lucky guy I am.

[@dusteys2]

what a beautiful song well done Merle

[@VernonJoseph1211961]

His voice is so soothing & awesome. Yes Merle

[@midgie4410]

Mere Haggard's voice......wow!!

[@rogerrambo6436]

saw him 24 times , met him briefly twice

[@coreyhammonds2859]

One of the best to ever step on stage.

[@RackwitzG]

To me the Golden Voice of Country. So sad he's gone.

[@donaldgrier1991]

Two of my favorite things Merle Haggard and the Waltons at one time. Loved the Comeback! Plus Merle wore a short brim while singing. Remember my Dad Big D always saying I got to get me a short brim like old Merle. Binging the Waltons for vacation.

[@hoseagray4505]

Young guy of 23, but my grandfather raised me to be a man as my father died when I was 10 years old. My father first showed me hunting, and than my grandfather made me love the forest as I would a person because he brought his traditions with him as he showed me how to respect nature like a good movie.. “oldies” and I call them. Im forever grateful he showed me old country that I listen to occasionally as I continue to try and be similar to him. (Grandpa)

[@robertmoore2049]

I’m sorry you lost your dad, but I’m so very glad and grateful that you had your grandfather. You are truly a blessed man. I love the old country music, too…

Merle and The Waltons, what more could one possibly want?

[@rexfoster9629]

"Atta Boy Red!!!" Love this episode! Switching actors for the Red Turner part seems a little hokie, but Ken Swofford (great actor) never could have pulled off that song. "Atta Boy Merle!!!"

[@thelastjohnwayne]

I think that Merle was the Greatest "All Around" male Country Music singer of all Time. Especially when you look at his full body of work.

[@broganmoffet7173]

The best that ever sang a country song. Rip merle
