I love Bonanza I am 52 years old and still watch Bonanza everyday matter of fact I'm watching it right now Hoss was one of my favorites his kind gentle spirit and always out for the underdog how could you not love this man and everything he stood for

gone but never forgotten, hoss was a great character, he left this world much too early and the ponderosa was never the same without him,as a kid in england i loved this western and hoss was my favourite character, but at the same time the whole cast was perfect,,god bless thm all,,,they left us some wonderful shows to treasure for ever,,

I loved Dan Blocker - he was truly a gentle giant - he had a kind heart and his smile lit up the sky. I miss you Hoss - you will be forever in my heart. Sandra Sawyer- Toronto, ON

This is so sweet and so good! Thanks so much! Him and Adam are my favorites on BZ. I love this.

My father- John Mitchum wrote the spoken text for Dan and he sang the songs. It was released back in 1964. They were both very proud of that album.

que grande hoss !!!!!!!!!!!!! aun dsps. d tantos años no me pierdo un capitulo de bonanza , aunque aveces los repiten . que actores aquellos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! roberto d argentina.

@Songsmirth hi there songsmirth, l dont think they do now, but as im 54 this great show like many others at that wonderful time in the 60s, l never missed, loved all the cowboy shows from the states, especially bonanza,,it was so well made,its surely a classic,,l still watch the old westerns when they pop up on the telly, dan was a true gentle giant,the ponderosa really made an impression on me,,,they seemed like the perfect family on the perfect homely ranch,,take care now,,

Oh wow lovewesterns that was beautiful. I love that you put a pretty song with it. So many videos made of Hoss are coupled with guffy songs not that those aren't a treasure and funny to watch cause they are. It just nice to have a more serious song to honor him cause he was more then just a funny guy.

I´m spanish, and i don´t speak a correct english, but in my bad english, I´d like to say about Dan Blocker, he was a good man and a beautiful person. And forever he´ll be Hoss in my heart. I miss you a lot dear Dan and dear Hoss. Greetings for you in the heaven.

The gentle giant of the Ponderosa.,,,,,great old western series from my childhood.

My favourite from this great show-how much i loved it as a child and still. (Luckily after a long time there is a tv station here in germany running Bonanza again) As long as i live Dan Blocker will be always in my heart.

Love Bonanza i am 72 year old still watch Bonanza 😢😢😢😢Dan blocker was funny

Dan Blocker was a big man physically, but more than that he was a big MAN. Like many big men he was gentle. No need to push people around or animals either. His size and obvious strength meant he never had to "prove" himself. It is said that unlike the character "Hoss", Blocker was a very smart man. But his character on the series was pretty much who he was.

Such a gentel soul. Miss him deeply.

I recently started watching this show thanks to the reruns, I was shocked to find out how old it is and that Hoss' actor died so young. He was only 42 I beleive. Mr Blocker definetly stood out as a very likeable character on Bonanza.

I would wish to have met Dan Blocker, see him in this video must be enough for me. He built a wonderfull character and unique, I guess He was a great person too. Thank you Hoss!

Very beautifully done.Dan Blocker was one of the finest men ever to walk this earth.Save a place in the western part of heaven for me near you(and Michael and Lorne too)

Dan is my all time favorite actor. Thank you for all the good times!

Dan was also a teacher my mom had him for a teacher for a bit and she said he was a little intimidating because of his size but made learning fun and non of the kids ever gave him any trouble...RIP Dan/Hoss you were a big sweetheart of a man

POR SIEMPRE MI GORDITO LINDO,ESA RISA SU PAZ INTERIOR ...Q.E.P.D.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Nice to make your aqaintence , noglobalist. The fact that they were both proud of this album makes me feel that much more fortunate to own a near mint copy of it! I have it protected within a plastic sleeve, and have played it only one time.

I definately agree! Hoss was more than just a funny guy, and IMO that's why we love him so much :-) Thank you

Los amo, pasa el tiempo y sigo siendo tan fan como cuando tenía quince

I will always love you Hoss-Dan.

Love Dan blocker he was funny R.I.P Dan blocker 😢😢

GOD BLESS DAN BLOCKER

Dan Blocker (Hoss) was the best.. He looks like my dad, and my dad died bevore 3 years. when ever I see Bonanza i start to cry.. sorry for the bad englisch but I´m german;)

Great tribute!!!!!

RIP, Dan Blocker/ Hoss Cartwrights.

Thank you!

Best tv hat of all time

Thanks! :P

@YoungSHolmesfan Thank you, it means a lot! :)) I love them too! (how couldn't I?).

I watched bonanza as a kid growing up in the 60's. What I really enjoyed or realized was that if someone got shot you only saw a small red dot. Now a days you see enough gore and guts for two people much less one red dot. And you wonder why some of the kids these days act messed up. Thank you hollyweird

Thanks so much :-) Your comment means a lot to me!!

Have any of you ever seen the RCA LP of Dan Blocker and Robert Mitchum's brother called "America: Our Land Our Heritage"? Will you look at that sky at 2:13-2:23?!!!!!!

unos de los mejores de bonanza

@bobbycv64 Thank you for sharing this information!

Dan Blocler saudades do Bonanźa

Dan Blocker died too young. He was my favorite "Cartwright". Didn't he also have a group called the Dan Blocker Singers? Thanks for this video.

Si lo eligieron por hacer ese papel fue por algo.

Porque esta solo en ingles deseamos saber todo de el ayudenos a que este traducido

I just can't understand why CBS take off Bonanza episodes after the 6th season to the 14th and don't sell them! Ther are millions of fans all over the world who love Ben, Hoss and Little Joe, who will buy the DVDs! It's ridiculous and a bad business!

How did he die so young?
