My Mom and Dad were huge Ray Price fans and on Saturday mornings would occasionally call in a song request to a local radio station and dance while it played...Sometimes if I blink real fast thru the tears I can still see them dancing...

Gives me chills. Best ever.

That's so beautiful. No one will ever top Ray Price in todays singers.

I have listen to this song 5 times today because I had never heard Ray sing it before and by darn this may be the greatest song he ever sang. I LOVE THIS SONG and THE WORDS. GREAT RAY

This particular cut, being a previously UNISSSUED cut tells you something. That Ray left more top-shelf material behind in the studio than today's alleged country music hot-shots jam into heavily-produced and pushed albums. What a legacy of greatness Ray Price left behind. RIP brother.

Damn now this is country music!!!!!!!!

Here's another gem that never made it to disc. Just when the last Ray Price tune finishes playing and you think that you've finally found your favorite, along comes another to tug at your heart and whisper softly to your soul...'What about me!' Ray has always been just that good with his heartfelt delivery showing a dedicated respect for the emotions the songwriter wants to project with his lyrics. You're still number one with me Raymundo. RIP

It don't get any better than this.

Has a voice like no other... I Love Ray Price.

A great treat for us senior citizens ❤

Ray Price and Buddy Emmons....it don't get no better than that. and to top it off, Ray wrote the song.

I love this song and this is real country music..when radio starts playing music like this again I'll turn it on..this new music is pure garbage and shouldn't be called country

THE MASTER! My God, This is pure greatness. Thanks for sharing.

I just love this song!!!....I miss these kinds of real country songs so much....Ray Price really was wonderful...thankyou for sharing!

Just when I think I've surpassed it. Darn it Ray! I run into this gem 💎. And it brings me right back🙏🏼

Love the harmonies. Can't get enough of big E.

This man could sing the phone book and I'd love it!!!

Absolutely awesome as always!

I fell in love with traditional country music when I began listening to Ray Price circa 1968-1970. I'm still in love with it today!

Quels bons et merveilleux souvenirs a reeeecouter

from the first time I ever heard this song I loved it and each time it just gets better. Thanks so much Ray

Mis saludos for the Cherokee cowboy. What an amazing song that captures every amazing element Ray and the band harnessed!

My grandfather, Pete Burke Jr., who Is in the third picture, was one of his bass players!!! Thanks for your post!!

Recently deceased Buddy Emmons' masterful artistry on the pedal steel sends chills up and down the spine. This is real country music not the shit of today coming from Chesney, Paisley, Keith, McGraw, etc .

WOW, had never heard this song before. It is beautiful, can't imagine anyone singing it any better. RIP RAY

Bohémský hlas,to je prostě úžasné, děkuji tam nahoru Mr.Ray Price - Tvoji věrní fandové!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

of course his voice can't be beat,but the music is just great, !!!! pure country!! something we don't hear now days,such a shame!!

Surely someone - anyone from NASHVILLE might get motivated and look through all the unissued cuts and make a brand new unissued CD. This is perfect - and should be on the jukeboxes today for us baby boomers to listen and dance to. Fantastic music, I can close my eyes and feel him on the stage singing. This was when Country Music was at its best. Can't find this today. My Dad would love this.

I absolutely LOVE Classic Country music!!! Ray Price, Faron Young & Patsy Cline are my favorites!!!

Good Lord. This is as great as ANYTHING he ever recorded. Particularly since I read here that he wrote this song, how could it have possibly escaped being released?!! So, here's an idea: RELEASE THE RECORD NOW!!!!!!!!

Ray was the greatest male country singer of all time!

Oh wow! Love love this song!! Beautiful and 😢heartbreaking at the same time . ❤❤

Such a beautiful song, I absolutely love it!, love all of Ray Price songs!

Hard to believe this song was unissued, this is a jewel.....

Dynamite& classy!!!

powerful voice..love this period in his recording...voice amazing !

It's one of the highlights of my life that I got to briefly meet Ray and his crew before he passed. A true gentleman and helped inspire a deeper love of old country

Can’t believe this song was not issued...It’s beautiful. Glad you brought it out! 2018

I sincerely wish Ray had released this song. It would have been a huge hit.

I love his voice! I'm so glad I got to see him in person! This song is awesome! Thank you for sharing!!

What a champ, Ray always embraced a song so damn well

this is the first time I have ever heard this song. Beautiful as I would expect of Ray. So dang good

So many good songs that will never be sung live again.

I love this song so much. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs that he has sung!

Ray Price was so good. One of the very great voices. Rock isn't country. Ray Price was country. Jim Reeves, Faron Young, George Jones..... These men were country.

Ray did another version in the late 60s with horns and it was "operetic". He also did a version which was softer but really country with lots of violins. Most versatile, greatest voice, and a gentleman. Ray wrote this song

Faron Young said Ray Price was his favorite singer.

Love those shots of Jimmy Day and Johnny Paycheck!

This song is beautiful!

Buddy Emmons: steel guitar. The Big E. RIP Buddy & Ray

This is a beautiful song by Ray. Can't believe it was not issued.

Ray was and always will be the best !!

As usual another great song by Ray Price. No one could do it better than Ray.

This is one song that CERTAINLY should have been released. What an opportunity lost! It hits home with many, many people.

Rest in Peace Ray. You were one of a kind.

This is real, pure, genuine, ole fashion classic country music as it should have continued in the now 21st century instead of the watered down country music as it is.

Wow, what a gem ! Classic Ray !

Fantastic song 💖💖♥️♥️♥️

Been a Ray Price fan since about 1950, the best voice ever recorded, was great at the start & got better with time.

A Triple Crown Winner: Wonderful Song, Great Singer and an Outstanding Arrangement. Ray Price and his Cherokee Cowboys at their BEST!!!!!!!

I love this song from the get go Ray and this song go perfect together and I love his vice so much. I guess since we meet in 1948 at homecoming you could say we have been together for a long time. GOD BLESS YOU SO!!!!!

MR.PRICE YOU ARE THE BEST.......

He could sing anything and make it special

Back before the corporate jerks tried to make Ray a lounge singer. He had a sound like no other

Do I understand correctly that this went unissued after being recorded? That's crazy. Someone was an idiot this song is beautiful. This is a great song. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love Ray Price.

Simply the Best .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Would have been another number one hit! Ray was the greatest singer ever!

Just incredible… this song grabbed me by the heart and made my hair stand up on end! Turns out this WAS released a few years later arranged with the very lush sounding Ray Ellis Orchestra. I think some producer in Nashville knew this was a bullet no matter how it was produced, and intentionally held it back! At that time I think the more exalted powers that be in the Music Industry said: “ Hold it! I think we can do better with a full orchestra and release it as a softer easy listening crossover tune..” Think “ For the Good Times” and you might understand their thinking. So I saw it releases and it can be played on a collection call Sweetheart of the Year, which I guess was meant to target that mellower audience.. But you know what? THEY FAILED! This song should have been released just the way you hear it here! This is just about the most perfect Mid 60s Ray Price 2 step shuffle tune I’ve heard! A stone classic out of the box! Someone on Music Row had more dollar signs in their eyes than sense, and blew it with a later, by some 3 or 4 year stretch, release of the Ray Ellis orchestrated and arranged version, which is also relatively unheard, and now lost in the annals of Mid century Classic Country…

The story I was told, Johnny Bush was once Ray's drummer, he wrote EACH TIME. Johnny's career was booming about the time Ray cut it, they had cross-words just after, Ray told Columbia not to release it. No question, it was as good as anything Ray cut around that time. Unfortunately, he met Cam Mullins, who convinced him he needed a new sound, with a 20 piece orchestra.

I love this version of Each Time

C'est un plaisir d'apercevoir Jimmy Day. . là dessus

No words can be said. Just let it be heard.

Great music & old photos - Thanks, whoever posted -

No one can do a song like Mr. RAY PRICE....A TRUE LEGEND!

That was awesome

This is so beautiful, just so beautiful.....Thank you so much for this lovely share!! ~Marianne...

wow i thought that herd all rays music.thanks for posting

awesome

Fantastic singer 👍😎

Fantastic.

Great song by a great artist.

This superb cut should come with a WARNING label: Imminent Dancing. Push back the coffee table and grab the one you love.

SOMETIMES IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO COMPREHEND THAT A VOICE AS GLORIOUS AND HEART-STIRRING AS THIS ACTUALLY EVER EXISTED. CERTAINLY RAY PRICE WAS ONE OF THE IDOLS OF EVERY COUNTRY SINGER THAT EVER HEARD HIS IMMORTAL VOICE. ACTUALLY, HE SANG WITH THE BEAUTY, ELOQUENCE AND POWER OF AN OPERATIC TENOR! THE PEDAL STEEL GUITAR WAS EXEMPLARY, BUT I WISH THE PLAYER HADN'T BACKED OFF HERE AND THERE AND PLAYED STRAIGHT THROUGH. I SUPPOSE THIS IS BY ORDER OF THE ARRANGER. SO OFTEN IN COUNTRY RECORDINGS THE STEEL GOES SILENT WAY TOO LONG FOR MY EARS. (I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT YOUR FINE CHANNEL HAS POSTED ONLY ELEVEN VIDEOS IN THE NINE YEARS OF IT'S EXISTENCE. AND THOSE FEW VIDEOS WERE POSTED DURING THE FIRST THREE YEARS. SO 2007 WAS THE LAST YEAR A VIDEO HAS BEEN POSTED. I AM SURE ELATED THAT THIS VIDEO BY RAY EXISTS, BUT ALSO VERY CURIOUS AS TO WHY SO LITTLE MATERIAL IS HERE.) RESPECTFULLY

perfect song

Thanks love this song..

Don Law really screwed up by not releasing this shuffle beat killer of a song. Emmons was as good as ever right here. This is bone chilling good. That turn around by Emmons and And TJ was top notch the finest. Emmons was doing some fine shuffle stuff on here and filling with stuff unbelievable. Bona Fide of Ray Price's genious. He wrote it and sang it. So get back. A gem, obscure, but not a better example of Noble Ray Price in his prime. Little Shannon Burns you see pictured here, at 43 was killed by hospital staff administering the wrong medicine. The love of my life for 25 years fell silent killed as sure if they has used a gun. Remember the number 3 cause of death in the US behind abortions and autos is medical malpractice. My angel Bear is in heaven now.

OMG 🔊🔊🔊❤❤SO LOVELY WOUNDERFUL country,BY RAY. Irealy REALY LOVE THIS sound 🎤🎸🎻🎼SO GREAT ❤

Great song I’d never heard and pics I’d never seen! Thanks!

Ray🙏🏻Price & Buddy🙏🏻Emmons.. . they don’t make em’ like this anymore ....

like all of Ray's music it is much underrated/

Beautiful song sung as only Ray Price

True country. Thank Goodness

Awesome!!!! First time I heard this was on WSM. Eddie played it and I about drove off the road, seriously. The Chieif at his finest, plus he wrote it!! .

I thought the 3/4 time cut was great,but I think I like this 4/4 cut better. I love that slow shuffle with the walking bass.

Yes so beatifuuuuuul lovely🎤🎸🎻🎼Love it realy🎶🍃

Should have been a number 1 hit

Ray was the master, he had "underlings" like Johnny Austin Paycheck Willie Nelson & Roger Miller doing his bidding & *liking* it ! Ole Ray even sang & *drank* with ole Hank, now how many can boast about doing that. Well good ole Hugh Cherry who taught me all I know about country music, could.

how true rich, this is true country

Johnny Bush covered this song later along with I'll Be There (if you ever want me by your side).

Fantastic version. What a contrast it is with Ray's 1969 released version. That one was the full-on MOR, non-country direction that pretty much put Buddy Emmons off from recording with Ray any longer. This one's a keeper; the other was more Lawrence Welk than Nashville. Even the greats take wrong turns sometimes.
