cookieman15061 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have never seen this video. I know Willie is not everyone's cup of tea but he is an original and a terrific songwriter/guitar picker in his own right.. Here singing one of Paul's best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_12lzRizYw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think I read somewhere that Willie wasn't gonna sing, just be a songwriter. Someone heard him do one of his tunes and said "oh no man, you gotta sing that!" Words alone cannot express the talent Paul Simon has.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57classic Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm not generally a fan of Willie but what a beautiful treatment of that song. Thanks for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think I read somewhere that Willie wasn't gonna sing, just be a songwriter. Someone heard him do one of his tunes and said "oh no man, you gotta sing that!" I heard that story right the opposite. He wanted to be a singer but the Nashville boys told him he had a horrible, annoying voice, strange look and he needed to stop playing nylon string guitars. But they liked his song writing.

Daryl M Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Willie was a Nashville recording artist in the 1960s, but not with much success. It was true that the 'establishment' didn't care for his voice, but really liked his songs. Here is a great old video of Willie trying to do it the Nashville way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMKv-whSanY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl M Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 One more thing...I think this must have been filmed not long after Patsy Cline was killed in 1963. Notice how Willie gets choked up at the start of 'Crazy'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
