In my opinion Roy Clark was the greatest guitar player of all time.

Orange Blossom Special is a song that goes back a long way.

Roy was a musical virtuoso. If it had strings, he could play the fool out of it. Banjo, guitar, fiddle ... country to classical!

Hahaha ... Jamal the "ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL" is a TRAIN.... the name of a famous train. That's why they have that lil' jock *car go... Beep~Beep... (Roy say's) but (Johnny say's) Honk~Honk. Roy has a quirky sense of humor... he's always joking around as watch more video's you will see.. And not many people play more than one harmonica at a time. That style of playing is really famously done by lot's of musicians in the 40's and 50's according to my dad..lol He's not an authority or anything... he just grew up watching Westerns. In those days dad said; many Cowboy's became movie stars.. I've enjoyed watching your videos with your brothers. Take care

Roy Clark - the guitar fit him like a glove!

Roy was from my hometown of Meherrin, Virginia. He used to come back "home" a lot. His family still live in the area, and one of his nephews married a woman from my church. Roy used to visit our church to watch our annual Christmas play. I can say with full honesty that Roy was one of the most humble and sincere people to ever walk the earth. All of his relatives have some amount of natural musical ability, and the same easy-going disposition. He was so proficient on stringed instruments that he could continue playing even when a string broke. It's something of a joke in the country and bluegrass community that you can't play a proper solo in Virginia without breaking a string. Roy was one responsible for starting that joke. Great review, and I hope you get the chance to check out more of this humble superstar who was right under my nose most of my life.

Roy was one of the greatest guitarists and multi-instrumentalists of all time, my young connoisseur of music. And Johnny Cash, well, no need to explain how unique his talent was. And both were "good humans" to top it off. Love you experiencing this music that influenced much of what we hear today 💕

I guess we "older" people are used to hearing the clapping when performances are taped live.

The Orange Blossom Special was a rail line that ran from New York to Miami from the 1920s to the 50s- I think it was considered to be one the most opulent forms of travel before airlines were really a thing, particularly in the winter season when all the entertainers, gangsters and Wall Street types would head south for the winter. Sounds like a more boutique version of toady's "Silver Meteor" Amtrak service. I had the pleasure of riding that a couple of times end to end back in the 90's with a berth and it was a really great trip: excellent food, full bar, movies and an excellent price. I recommend it if it hasn't changed. A "luxury" version of that seems maybe a little redundant, but it could certainly be a real stylish way to travel. Airlines pretty much destroyed that system of travel after WWII; people are generally more focused on the destination than the journey these days: why take a two day train trip - albeit "luxury" - when you can just take a flight and be at your destination in a couple of hours? BTW Jamel, since you recently visited the world of Grateful-ness; you have to be a little more careful how you use the word "tripping"...it could be misinterpreted! PEACE my friend!

This was from Johnnie’s TV - variety show in the ‘70’s. None better on the guitar than Roy Clark… (any string instrument for that matter) he could play anything!

Orange Blossom Special was a train that ran from NYC to Miami via the Pennsylvania RR then the Seaboard Railroad. In turn A song written my Ervin Rouse about this train. It was one of Johnny Cash’s biggest hits

Can you imagine what it would have been like to be in the audience for this performance? Grew up listening to both of these greats. Watched HEE HAW with my family when I was a child, Roy Clark entertained on that program. Thank God for the internet where they can live on FOREVER!

Roy Clark was one of the best guitarists who ever lived (IMO). He and Buck Owens were the big stars of Hee Haw. And Clark's version of "Yesterday When I Was Young" is one you HAVE to check out if you haven't already.

They were having so much fun! Got to see Roy Clark in concert, he never stopped smiling even when a guitar string broke! I cannot remember how many different instruments he played but it was awesome!

In the 70’s when I used to work at a disco, they would play the instrumental version of this, everyone would clear the floor and we had a bartender and waitress tear up the floor dancing to this….lol Only in Texas 😵‍💫🤣

Regarding the applause you commented on: TV shows in this era used a lot of "enhancements" -- in the old days they were called "canned laughter" or I think "canned applause" -- but these days it's generally known as "sweetening"... which in both cases is adding pre-recorded applause and/or laughter to a show that's already been recorded, with the intent of making it sound more appealing to the listener. Back in the day, the canned laughter was limited to a very small number of recordings of laughter, which is why on certain old sitcoms you can hear the exact same sound of laughter if you listen for it (and once you notice it, that can become almost impossible *not* to notice, lol). Nowadays, though, there's _way_ more variety in the thousands and thousands of sampled sound effects that sound designers and mixers can choose from when sweetening a show -- and they are also a lot more subtle with it these days, because viewers have gotten more aware of how obviously it was used in the past. (I worked with a mixer at a cable television network for a number of years, so this comes from personal knowledge -- at least as far as how it was done for the shows we produced.)

"Orange Blossom Special" is a country jam standard. Everybody plays it. Roy does a comedic version of Johnny's "Folsom Prison Blues," and there is a video of them doing it together. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbakgpN-0N3Ph6c.html

Roy Clark was a real nice man. He said he always wanted to be remembered as a good old boy but in the best and highest sense of integrity.

Wow Nashville classics! Love what you're doing Jamel!

How many of you remember Roy Clark's Big Note Guitar Songbook? It was a lesson book that came with stickers that you put on the fingerboard where the book instructed to teach you how to play the guitar. Besides him being a fantastic guitar player he wanted to pass on his knowledge to the rest of us so we can make music. May they both rest in peace.

I miss those days back in the middle seventies . Watching the JOHNNY Cash show Hee Haw and Sonny and Cher show. Those were the days of the greatest music ever. I graduated from high school 1976🏫 , I grew up with in greatest music in history. Country Rock and Roll 🎸 Soul and even Disco 💃 . I loved them all.

The two of them had a mountain of respect for each other.

This looks like it was from Johnny's variety show he had in the 70s.

Roy Clark was an highly underrated musician, country or not. Thank you for reacting to him. Many people of the younger generations don’t know what they are missing.

Brother, Roy Clark was a beast on guitar. Check it yo!

If you want another train song, GUY Clark has a song called “Desperados Waiting in a Train”, a song he wrote about the relationship between he and his grandmothers boyfriend, from Guy being a young child, until the death of his grandmothers boyfriend. Guy was a well known songwriter in Nashville, and my dad went to high school with him.

I know y'all are on the Left Coast, but highly recommend going to Merlefest in North Carolina one spring in the future...you will hear this song plenty of times over the course of the festival... But seriously, I HIGHLY recommend going. This past year Melissa Ethridge, Mavis Staples, The Cleverlys and Los Texmaniacs were just some of the acts that performed

My Dad loved these guys

Driving from SoCal to New Orleans with my husband, 2 yo son and father in law to go see my grandmother in law. My big tough father in law singing this to my son. It became known as the "woooot woooot song." ❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful memories.

I've never seen this performance and I leterally got chills. Johnny cash songs touch my soul. This is amazing.

Two you've got to see: "12th Street Rag" (look for the one in black & white), and "Caravan," the one from "Hee Haw." My two favorite performances from this great, great guitarist.

I live close to the AP CARTER STORE. It is in Hiltons, VA. This is where Johnny's wife June Carter Cash grew up and played country music with her parents and siblings. They still play every Saturday night. They play classics like the "Orange Blossom Special" and everyone gets out on the floor and "clogs". Clogging is an old type of hillbilly dance. Johnny used to make surprise visits to this place and play.

You said you love seeing Cash and Clark smiling and enjoying this show. That's exactly why I enjoy your reviews! You're having a blast and it shows. Keep it up, its infectious, in the best possible way! Love ya.

The entertainers of the past, are in a class of their own; nobody living now, can hold a candle to them. I suggest you keep looking on youtube, and you will find them. God bless their memories.

Roy Clark done a concert in our High School in Lincoln County Tennessee to build a football stadium for our new high school. I should say at the time our only high school. We now have 2. He is amazing. Such a likeable man and huge musician

Roy was one of those rare players who crossed every genre line with just how unbelievably talented he was. Even the hardest metal guitarists respect him. You should hear him play Flamenco guitar, he's unreal. Got to meet him a few times through the years, and though I've heard when performing, he could be pretty strict with the crew and band, he was always nice and friendly to me.

Dude could flat ass play, and to be that happy and enjoying himself. Special

Usually played as a BLUEGRASS standard. Orange Blossom Special is a song about a train. These two took great liberty with the actual lyrics, but that’s part of what made it so much fun. Another is with Roy Clark and young Jimmy Hendley, (( and : SLEEPY MAN BANJO BOYS)). 📻🙂

Roy shredding and looking like he's leaning back on his front porch. That man was beyond talented.

Man Roy Clark was one hell of a guitar player

Late 70s early 80s,we run the dance halls...every one closed at the night with this song...my husband had a few drinks in him by then and out there he'd go...dancing to every beat of this.....

I remember Roy Clark best for his Banjo playing, a talented artist and one of my favourites

Two consummate entertainers, who were also fantastic musicians.

Roy Clark was a phenomenal instrumentalist Rest In Peace

Thanks for this! Roy Clark was so good!

Jamel, as was already said below by others, Roy Clark was amazing! He played anything with strings--fiddle, guitar, banjo--and he was a master of all of them. You ought to check him out on an old comedy/variety/country show called Hee Haw, especially when he's playing with a 12 year old boy named Jimmy. Orange Blossom Special is the name of the song.

Johnny always amazes me, he's a master at his trade .👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶💕. And sous Roy 😂😂💞. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Johnny Cash had a variety show and he had a lot of country western and even rock and roll guest.

Roy Clark also plays the fiddle and sings. His big song was "Yesterday" . Not the Beatles song. His song is beautiful.I heard someone play it the other day and it was from when he was much older, Bless him. You need to hear it when he was in his prime. His beautiful tenor voice and the emotion and lyrics are awesome. There is also a clip where Roy Clark and Glen Campbell are playing guitars together. They are pretty evenly matched and it was a wonder to behold. You can probably just type their name in together and find the clip. You will thoroughly enjoy it.

Thank you Jamel for taking me back about 55yrs of some great memories 💖 Thank you Sir for your reaction, hope you have a blessed day 🙏 sending you love from Lafayette Georgia 🙏 🍑

This is my dad all over. He was glued to Hee Haw every week, and Johnny Cash was one of his very favorite male performers. (Loretta Lynn was his favorite female.) xoxo

Two great talents! Don't get anything better than this! Thanks Jamel

Roy Clark was a regular on a ridiculous comedy/variety show named "Hee Haw." My parents watched it every week when I was just a young kid. Johnny Cash made more than one appearance on that show. Roy was amazing on the guitar, one of the best. Johnny was a country music outlaw/icon, his entire career. I love the switching between the harmonicas. That was amazing! (Side note, If you want to see some amazing guitar/banjo playing, check out Glenn Campbell in "Dueling Banjos!")

Union Station Dallas plays a version of this in the hallway that ramps down towards the train platform. Orange Blossom Special is the name of an Amtrak long-distance route, IIRC.

What great talent on that stage, with those two!

2 amazing artists! I'm glad to have grown up with these artists.

Orange Blossom Special is a song and the name of the train. But that song is old old, Im talking about 20 years before johnny cash even started in music. It was one of Cash's most favorite songs from his childhood and he always enjoyed playing it live. This version with Roy Clark must be from Johnny Cash's old TV show he once hosted Im sure!!!! Nice REACTION Jamel!

I have yet to see anyone react to Roy's HUGE hit "Yesterday When I was Young", I wish you'd check it out.

They’re also called mouth harps!

Remember watching The Harmonicats on TV shows. Man that showed Johnny to switch harmonicas was Country hall of Famer Charlie Mccoy. He was also the music director for Hee Haw - Chalie McCoy Orange Blossom Special recorded at the reunion show of the Cast. Another great Harmonia Player is Buddy Greene Classical Harmonica Medley

Johnny Cash had his own show and had guests. This was one of them. Roy, his guest.

The Dad joke was hilarious especially your reaction 😂

That circle that they are standing on is part of the stage from the original home of the Grand Ole Opry, The Ryaman Auditorium.

Nice one Jamal. Two legends of country.

Two of the greatest of all time Johnny and Roy. Their music and legecy will live for Many generations. Jamal how do we get a request to you?

Roy was the greatest all-around musician I ever heard, and was the consummate entertainer!

Most/All musicians had that relationship with each other back then. It was a harder life.

Love when these guys jam, Roy is a natural entertainer, always a goof and fun to listen to, check him out playing with one of his hero's Joe Pass if you wanna see him in serious mode.

It is a train that runs on the East Coast back in the day. Before CSX it was called seaboard coastline Railroad and one of their trains was called the Orange Blossom in special

Ah yes, Orange Blossom Special. A standard at any decent bluegrass gathering. Roy was a legend with a stringed instrument....miss both these brilliant men.

I enjoy watching you enjoy this. This entertainment was live on television.

Applause sounded like chicken fryin 🤣😂 that’s GREAT it really did sound like it haha

I love the pure joy they exude ❤️

Wow pure talent, just pure talent

Thank you for this! This is the music my parents listened to growing up.Love it!

Orange Blossom Special was the TRAIN. Stay Blessed

Omg how I miss the good old days. It was awesome growing up in this Era.

You are such a joy to watch. So much positivity.

You can see the total respect they have for each other and they really enjoy each others company.

OMG, I LOVED when you stopped it & just Looked! 🤣🤣🤣

Your reaction to the Dad jokes would have made them absolutely happy.

That drummer was killin' it!

It was a train that went to Florida (that's why they called it orange blossom).

What a breath of fresh air.

Orange blossom special was played by many artist. During its time it was expected to be played

I wonder who was playing the drums..WOW!! He never quit the whole song!!!

The Orange Blossom Special is the name of the song.

I remember seeing this when I was a kid, I loved variety shows, it was when TV was fun 😊

Absolute kick ass talent!!

2 country legends that bring smiles to everyone 😀

That's when they hade LIVE people to play in front of. Not caned claping.😊😅🎉

My great great uncle wrote this song when he was a fiddle player with Bob Wills

Charley Daniels playing this on the fiddle, and Roy at other times on the banjo are also great performances.

One of my daddy's favorites! Makes me smile, especially now that he has been gone 13 years.

Orange Blossom Special is the name of the song. That was probably from Johnny's 1970s variety show.

orange blossom special is a song that's been around for decades. johnny cash plays it often in performances. that thing that he can do with the 2 harmonicas is something else. if you get a chance check out his performances in prisons

Orange Blossom Special is an old bluegrass song . Sounds awesome with the fiddles usually played by Bluegrass bands .

My first concert was Johnny Cash and Orange Blossom Special is all I remember ...thought that train horn was the coolest, I was like 5.

Love this song for dancing the 3 step
