Vince Gill- "Go Rest High On That Mountain" *REACTION*

[@sherribrock2726]

Patti Lovelace and Ricky Scaggs added so much to this song!

[@joannep705]

💕 Vince has the voice of an Angel. 🎶

[@brianbrooks-in5yy]

He wrote this song to his brother because His brother was dying. He loved his brother even though his brother chose a harder life to live than Vince did. Us white folks use this song a lot at the funeral home as we send our kinfolk off hopefully to Heaven. I believe this song should be used at everybody's funeral not just white folks.

[@memorywhitton5527]

Amen 👏

[@toniturk5556]

Every funeral in my family has had this song played. Can't listen to it without crying ❤

[@stephanieparker9494]

This is such a beautiful tribute to his brother! Vince has a one of a kind timeless voice just like Kenny Rogers ❤you are right this is hard to listen to without emotions taking over! RIP to all that have left us! 😢

[@jeffthompson7952]

He actually started writing it about Keith Whitney as they were good friends when Keith died and Vincent brother passed before he finished writing the song so he then wrote it about his brother and Keith whitley

[@shawnj1966]

Originally, the song was about Keith Whitley. The first verses reference Keith Whitley songs. It was left incomplete until his brother died and then it was finished and dedicated to him instead. What any of that has to do with white folks, is beyond me. Of course people that aren't white can use the song at funerals. They just don't because they either have never heard it, have other options or their loved one isn't being buried on a mountain!

[@larynanntapp6333]

Keith Whitley was the reason that Vince began writing this song. As a neighbor of Keith's hometown, he is still missed and never forgotten.

[@rebeccayearian8731]

We never know when our GOD will reach out and touch us.....thank YOU Greg for seeing, hearing, and feeling HIS power in this song!

[@hayleyvine6350]

He works in mysterious ways.... but it all is for a reason.. when its your time to go home to heaven... god will call you home.

[@bigrig4177]

Many have said that he wrote this song for his brother. He actually started writing this song after the death of country Superstar Keith Whitley. Keith drank himself to death and died from alcohol poisoning. The first verse pays respect to Keith when he says you were no stranger to the rain. One of Keith's biggest hits was a song called I'm no Stranger to the Rain. Vince didn't finish the song for many years until the passing of his brother. Yes Patty Loveless was the same female singer in the last video that you did.

[@sabredesatanas518]

Played this at my son's funeral. Always makes me cry.

[@bubsmomma]

Brother died in 1993. What an amazing and very special tribute. Ricky Scaggs is the greatest mandolin in country music history

[@ericreep5341]

About those harmonies, Tommy Chong said it best. "Kinda grabs you by the boo-boo, don't it?" These are all tops in their field! Such a great combo! Bless your heart, brother! Peace

[@ValliDavis]

That is Patty Loveless and the great Ricky Scaggs…. Ricky made his tv debut playing and singing bluegrass music at age 7…. Legend

[@KimOdom-z7s]

Gives me chills every time I hear it So beautiful

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

That’s that bluegrass harmony singin’. This song has been played at every funeral I’ve ever been to. Next you should hear Vince’s duet with Reba McEntire “The Heart Won’t Lie.” Or “I Still Believe in You.” That’s probably his most popular song.

[@reformedwheat5648]

I heard that he wrote this after he lost his brother. I think of my loved ones who have passed every time I hear it and the sweet memories start to flow ❤️ Thanks for your reaction!

[@westridgerunner]

Wonderful reaction, imagine how many people this song has given strength, hope and love to, as they struggle through the steps of grief. I am one of those people 🙏

[@Reenie581]

I loved hearing your response to this song. Vince is such an excellent artist in everything he has done. I agree with you, the other two singing along with him are outstanding. In my youth in the early 70's I remember Vince Gill singing along with a little mountain band/country music group going by the name Pure Prairie League and they came out with a song called "Amy". You would be blessed to check our their album and/or their hit single "Amy" from that album. I have it still in my collection from my old college days. Please look it up. I think you would like it. It's a fun song with a snappy beat.

[@Reenie581]

Oops, I spoke too soon. The song "Amie" came out in 1972 and Vince Gill didn't join the group till 1979. Love that album "Bustin' Out" . . . played it endlessly and followed many of the artists on that album who went on to other venture in their musical careers. Really, check our "Amie".

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Vince and Patty Loveless

I've heard this 1000 times and I still cry when I hear it...❤

[@sandralorenz1796]

Great harmonies. Vince wrote this song.

[@barbarafrazier3242]

Vince Gill has an absolutely beautiful voice! For male voices…. It’s one of the prettiest voices ever. Lots of songs in his library, many are very upbeat. Definitely worth listening to more Vince Gill!!

[@barbarastewart603]

Back in the day he was part of Pure Prarie League. He has a "storied" solo career. For last several years, he sits in as part of the Eagles when they appear in concert. AND....Yes, he wrote this song.

[@kysteelworker]

Every funeral I’ve ever been to

[@rhondadonald7315]

I’m so glad you reacted to this. ♥️

[@earlzach]

Originally was being written for his Friend and artist Keith Whitley. The reference. ' No stranger to the rain" was a Keith Whitley Hit song title. while in his writing he lost his brother. In this version you also got a real treat to hear the harmonies with Patti lovelace and Ricky Scaggs. Please find the works of Kieth Whitley. he was remarkable. Im no stranger to the rain, or When you say nothing at all. the hits he had were fantastic.

[@JustRader2]

I played this for my father on August 23, 2000… hardest day of my life, I still cry 24 years later.

[@sarahcontento9516]

I’ve heard it at many funerals.

There’s a great song by Patty Loveless you might like called “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am”. She the woman singing here with Vince and Ricky Skaggs.

Agreed. I was thinking of "You'll never leave Harlan Alive" too.

Vince started in bluegrass at a young age. I was young also, when, i first seen him on stage. It was at a bluegrass festival, my stepfather, played banjo with another band.

[@1BEAVIS13]

Vince Gill wrote the song.

[@samf.6298]

Vince wrote this song in honor of his brother who had lived a troubled life and had passed. It's been sung at many a funeral and rightfully so. Just heard him and his lovely wife Amy Grant in Nashville over Christmas and it was fantastic! Such a talent, beautiful voice and just such a good guy. Great reaction! Keep going down this Vince Gill rabit hole my friend. You won't be disappointed.

My uncle sang this at my daddy’s (his brother) funeral omg I lost it and I don’t know how he sang it without loosing it but he did!

[@ValliDavis]

Keith Whitley, one of the friends who inspired this song, had a huge hit “I’m No Stanger to the Rain". In true classic old country style, Keith died of bad moonshine.

[@kimking6036]

I would love to have this played at my funeral but it has "son" in it. It always reminds me of my brother ❤

So, Patty Loveless is singing with him on this, you gottacheck out her singing You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive! It will put chills on your body

Vince has sung this song with several people. But Patti Lovelace and Ricky Scaggs sound the best with Vince. Their voices just blend so well together. Patti Lovelace. Ricky Scaggs are artist in their own rights. Need to check Patti out.

[@chantzbland4144]

Vince wrote this song originally for Keith Whitley when he died hence the no stranger to the rain, then finished the song later on for his brothers death.

[@travisshelton7423]

If you think Vince Gill can sing, you should hear him play guitar. He's incredible

[@cowboyfanwitten]

This was written for kieth Whitney. You weren't afraid to face the devil you were no stranger to the rain are lyrics and the name of kieth Whitney song. You should check out kieths"s song I'm no stranger to the rain. I think you'll like it.

[@bren6967]

Excellent reaction. Check out *Monsters* by James Blunt.

[@stevesnow315]

You asked if the song was written by Vince or a hymn, the answer is yes. May I suggest "No Future In The Past".

[@lindaguess9808]

As a rule, I'm not big on country music, though there are a few voices that sometimes jump out at me. Vince Gill is definitely one of those. Another one is Allison Krouse. Has Greg ever vlogged her singing "When You Say Nothing At All"?

[@dearbhlakerr6497]

He wrote it. His brother passed in tribute to him

[@coversbyroy15]

I don't know if this is where you can submit requests, but please do, in my opinion, the most underrated country artist of the 90s, Collin Raye. "Love, Me" is a good one to start with. His voice is amazing!
