Ive never heard this recording, one of the best !

You can tell Sammy practiced 10 hrs. a day. He's spotless and clear on the lyrics. Him and Ralph harmonize the best I've ever heard with CMB 's!

Jr. Blankenship thank you for conveying the message ! Salute!

Roy Lee Centers was the greatest lead singer ever in Ralph Stanley's band, hands down!

Beautiful Music 😊

Whitley had recently been poached by JD Crowe

The best bluegrass music 😂

Slow er down a bit, boys!

I love it!!

Glad to find this good music. I love finding Stanley music with Charlie Sizemore.

Ralph Stanleys fiddler just burns that up. Whew he is the best. Suprised his fiddle has not got sawed into.

Much of the music of Ralph Stanley is gospel music. Like Bill Monroe they sing for Gods glory.

良かったです❤ありがとう😊

Perfect!

What an excellent video. I love Vesta with its strange parallel troughs, presenting an image as though a massive truck had left tracks that go all around his minor planet.

Junior Blankenship was 18 years old here and Charlie Sizemore was the grand old age of 17. Just kids.

Charlie Sizemore always sounded really good with Ralph.

Man of constant sorrow in the key of C! 🤯 🗣️🎙️🔥🪕🔥

Ralph Stanley was a treasure to the human race. I got to see him live one time and it was amazing.

12:33 Ralph is so cool onstage he gets a rebel yell in England!

Oh, that is interesting. So there existed a connection between Breathitt and Dickenson before Roy Lee Centers. I'd love to know she and Sam Stanley got together. Hey, thanks and greetings from Floyd County (not but a short ways from Decoy).

Man, they were tight as a drum that gig. The sound and tone of the instruments is outstanding.

Can't understand a word they are saying

This is a wonderful historical record of Ralph and co. Irrespective of audio clarity, it is a great pleasure to see them move and hear them talk. Thank you for sharing this long ago.

Is this movie Bluegrass Festival available to view in it's entirety?

This show is a treasure!

That’s a darn good time! I was 4 years old lol.

This must have been right before Keith joined.

Mighty fine music! I've been hooked on this music since 1944 . Bluegrass is the best music ever was - nuff said .

Ernie Thacker could sing the phone book what a voice

This is fantastic! Thanks.

The 1st version was issued on REM (KY) 45 - 353 which has a RCA Custom pressing code of RK4M-8340/ RK4M-8341 which means it was pressed in 1964 not 1965.

One of my favorite songs. Masterpiece . I just think I'll go away. Nobody could sing it like Carter and Ralph . RIP Carter..I never had a chance to see you in person .

28:25 Dr. Ralph regurgitates

This was my mamaw & papaws festival 🥹 this was definitely filmed before I was born but brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting 💕

Beautiful music

Thought I heard all their numbers but ‘Who’s gonna mow my grass’ never heard before. Nice stompin’ sound. Love it.

It looks like Jr. is play Carters guitar

I love this stuff

WOW THEY ARE ON FIRE IN THIS RECORDING. Ralph did such a good job keeping CMBs alive after Carter. MOre than alive but thrive.

The tramsition from thr choo choo song to how mountain girls can love - legendary!

This never gets old!!!!!!! ❤

Ralph Stanley The best ❤️. Thanks

Sammy. Akins is a great Lead Singer Junior Blankenship is a Great #1 Guitar picker

Now thats what Im talkin about

I was unable to attend, due to the predicament of being a baby, but it sure is cool to know he played my old hometown!

This music is awesome

The photos are superb

I can’t help myself. I went to high school from ‘75-79 in Jackson KY where Mr Centers is from. By a strange chance my great mamaw’s 2nd husband was Sam Stanley, Ralph’s uncle. I never met Ralph but can tell you Sam was an outstanding man.

33 years ago today!!! Gives me chills. The soul of mountain music.👍🏻
