Who Will Sing For Me - Foggy Mountain Boys

[@dalegribble60]

Growing up in the 70's & 80's I was a rock/heavy metal guy. Now in my 60's, I find myself listening to this genre a lot more lately. Guess it's more my speed. 😅

Brother I'm in my late 20's and here I am ahahah

[@sandburgmartin7947]

Used to watch Flatt & Scruggs Martha White show on Sat afternoons with my dad. He was a super picker on his old Gibson jumbo. Sometimes he played along. That coupled with watching old black & white Friday night Gillette boxing with him was priceless, wonderful memories.

[@macjolly6748]

One of the most beautiful sights in the world to me is Earl cradling that guitar like that.

[@debbieharrison1911]

BEAUTIFUL SONG AND AMEN LOVE THIS SONG

[@ronframe2529]

The song we played at my grandfather's funeral.

[@williammills8953]

Beautiful song. My dad used to listen to bluegrass gospel all the time. I know why I' do to.

[@brewsky38c]

It doesn’t get any better than that! 👑

I love this song. I sang Amazing Grace for my mother as she crossed over 5 months ago today.

[@erykstrumienski6029]

I sang Wayfaring Stranger for my dad when he went over Jordan 8 months ago, went home to see his mother and father kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3PXZoOHaM2masU

[@donwalters8877]

When will our country get back to this, probably never. But I will always love this music. People who listen to this are getting thin. Praise the Lord

[@banjogregcantrell6235]

When Earl Scruggs threw that guitar up to meet his ear we knew serious things were happening. His whole soul was going into his music at that point. It was clear just how important Earl was in completing the "Gang style singing"

Another great favorite of mine - both song and artists. Flatt and Scruggs are peerless!!! ONE of the very best and most heart-warming!!!

[@Pickinbuddy]

60 years later....and they're STILL better than anyone else!

[@slowpoke7759]

Pickinbuddy They’re some of the greatest bluegrass musicians ever some 70 years later. They are bluegrass standards. Every musician that plays bluegrass, is measured by these two groups past, present and future. Just as any bluegrass band that formed in that era, they all started with the grandfather of bluegrass “Bill Monroe”. The music that represented the people that listen to them and there music.

[@MrJack6869]

does anybody know the history of this loud and punchy guitar this will always be the best group that ever lived don't anybody else or take anybody out!!!!!!!! god bless them all.

@@maryannsmith1989 Same here.... Though I sang this many times with my friend Kerrie at Open mic nights about 12-15 years back. Great song. Learned it listening to Ricky Skaggs. Phil (Australia)

[@russharbaugh2028]

thanks for uploading this................Earl Scruggs was a world class finger pickin' guitar player, something that prior to the internet I didn't know. These guys............every one of them, are fine musicians. Lester Flatt's singing grows on you, he doesn't ever to seem to attempt anything that is beyond him, perhaps why he was so good at what he did attempt. The net also makes Lester's duets with Mac Wiseman available for those not fortunate enough to have seen them live, or own their vinyls. I feel sorry for the 3 people that gave this a thumbs down, the tune is remarkable for the quality of both the guitar and the dobro if nothing else.

[@turnstyles7485]

While the overall performance was good, Lester was flat on the high notes of "sing". Perhaps that is why some gave a thumbs down. Some folks seem to think being "country" excuses singing flat. But when you are allowed to start below the note and slide up to it, there is no excuse for a professional singer not to slide all the way up to the proper note. That practice is just laziness.

[@packingten]

@@turnstyles7485 Why don't you take yourself&Your negative comments of Lester elsewhere!. I bet your part of the new Order of BUTTHOLES. No one forced you to listen to Lester "FLAT(T)", So LEAVE!. So now my opinion.. So long PUNK!.

[@packingten]

@@turnstyles7485 Just saw your contribution to You Tube, Nada,nothing,no content,so yet another freeloader with nothing except negative remarks about a Legend the majority loved!, Except MORONS!.

[@turnstyles7485]

@@packingten Such bitterness is sad and unnecessary. I watched the video because I am an avid fan of Flatt and Scruggs. But that doesn't mean I don't notice when they had a performance that was not up to their usual standards. My original comment was in response to someone else wondering why some people had hit the thumbs down. I would say the same thing about any professional singer of any era or style. On the whole contemporary artists tend to be more lazy about singing in tune than those of the past, because they can use auto tune technology to make their records sound in tune.

[@sandburgmartin7947]

Earl used the "tag" riff at the end of each second bar like on the 5 string. Great.

[@JohnWilson-bn1xs]

Yep, I can get really emotional listening to this stuff...maybe from the time it came from...and the country folks that were the backbone of their audience. Nothing else comes close.

[@michaelellis8526]

Stan Whittaker yes them and Shot Jackson. They didn’t clutter it up like Jerry Douglas does.

[@acruru]

I might be a little biased ..but Bob Cline could pick with Josh and Oswald...and did so many times...He practiced to them both...I remember as a child the music playing and dad pickin. Dad, Josh and Oswald became close friends. Every once in a while I'll catch a vision...Oswald, Josh and dad pickin around the throne of the Master, I cant wait to see my dad...standing, no wheelchair to hold him down....what a day of shouting it's gonna be...I figure I'll grab him by the hand and run a while...and I'll hug his neck...and we will join in the new song that even the angels cant sing....and I'll hear my daddy play again...

[@davidhayes7596]

Earl Scruggs , the greatest country music musician of all time.

[@jackcrane7853]

Bluegrass

[@theworldnonfakenews8353]

I understand why he cradles that guitar because I also do and you get a closer hearing and a deeper feeling with the instrument. It's just a close personal relationship with the guitar.

[@PWoods0078]

Legends Of Bluegrass For Sure!!!!

[@rick7872]

Hi Lo Brown is an excellent addition to this spectacular group.

[@sandburgmartin7947]

Rick, if you know who Hi Lo is you've been around a while too.

[@slowpoke7759]

Brown may have been an addition to Flatt and Scruggs but he is not singing in this song. Earl Scruggs playing the guitar with his famous three finger style, Curly Sekler on mandolin, Jake on the dog-house bass, Paul Warren fiddle, Lester Flatt on the guitar, then the camera swung over to catch Josh Graves on the dobro. Yes I am getting old as well. The sound and music just simply cannot be matched with the so-called musicians of today. The sound and music of the cobweb corner will always be the best.

[@BarabooBees]

Roy in the background....Gotta love it.

[@erykstrumienski6029]

When Earl holds that guitar up, it's like he his pressing his ear up to eternity, stepping momentarily out of time.

[@KevTheImpaler]

One has to credit Lester Flatt with being able to hold a note, and he could hold up his end with the guitar no doubt too.

[@jmolloy5733]

I have a guitar pick that Lester Flatt accidently dropped while playing at a Lakefront Festival in Milwaukee Wisconsin 1972 or so.

[@jmolloy5733]

It's a tortoise shell plastic pick. The printing on it has long since worn off, plus my dog ate it, but I collected it after a few days.

[@jmolloy5733]

+nyc3001 - I'll look carefully at it a little later, and see if there are any clues and report back.

[@jmolloy5733]

+nyc3001 - Still looking for pick. It is around somewhere as I throw few things away. Confident it'll show up.

[@maureenbrown5116]

My favorite group of all time. I've seen them perform at least a dozen times in my life; once at Verona Lake Ranch here in 1962, where my uncle Brenton played with them; once in Creswell, Oregon, once in San Diego at the big auditorium, but mostly in smaller gigs. The last time was at the Bluegrass Festival in Lexington, KY in the mid-1980s, when Brenton was brought on a prison bus from the Arizona State Penitentiary to perform with them. He was brought in leg irons (on a one-legged man!) on a big gray prison bus; was hustled on and off the stage by armed guards, and we couldn't visit with him; but he'd fought in court for the privilege of appearing, and won, as he always did.
