Oh Shan baby, my lovely lovely thing to see. Just see, Wanda,
(02:51):
you've been love the baby, my lovely lovely things to see.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Just see.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
That's Billy Joe Spears with living our love together. If
you've seen some of those little critters we call roaches
in your house, here's something you should know. For every
roach you see, there could be hundreds more you don't
see inside your walls. That's why you need raid Ant
and roach Killer. RAID has penetrating vapor that seeps through
cracks and crevices to get behind walls and kill bugs dead.
(03:41):
Spray raid along baseboards and around cracks. It kills on
contact and keeps on killing. Raid Ant and roach killer
with a penetrating vapor that kills bugs dead. Now, it
naturally follows when Bill Anderson is the guest that eventually
you get around to the song Still. Perhaps, I guess
your most famous copyright Bill.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Probably so Ralph, the one that's more closely associated with me.
It's probably not the biggest song that I've ever written,
but it's the one that everybody thinks of Bill Anderson
when they think of Still.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
What is the biggest song you've ever read?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Worldwide? The tip of my fingers.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I don't want to get tips.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Of my fingers or whichever it is.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Worldwide, that's the biggest one.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's been a hit four different times in America and
half a dozen times or so, you know overseas.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right, I want to go back to Still now
because you have brought a special recording of Still that
we're going to play before we get to yours. You
might tell us about that. Well.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Still has been recorded by Bing Crosby, and it's been
recorded by a lot of different people, but it's never
quite been done like James Brown has just done it
in his.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
New album You Mean Soul Brother number one?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
James Brown Soul Brother number one. He does the song
totally different from any way that it's ever been done,
and about halfway through the song he stops and starts
talking about me, which just absolutely knocks me out.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
All right, we're not We're not going to play all
this record. This record is quite long, it's over six
minutes long. But I thought we would play a little
excerpt of the record to show you how uh, the
rhythm and blues version of Still would sound or does sound.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
You know, a good friend of mine coaching Weston's College.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Beautiful man, Brother Bill Adamson, he said this, Bill told me,
go dream my head, he said, Brother Brown, he said,
go on and tell the world that I want to keep.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
On and telling them.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
For anybody that may have the problem and you feel
that you want to love one back, just keep killing him.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I love and that's hot? Is that? Is that the
first time that's been done? Redvand blows?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
The first time the song's been done?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Have you had anybody to do a rhythm and blues
version of any of your songs?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, yeah, Aretha Franklin, did I May never get to Heaven?
The one that Conway Twitter's got out?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Right? Now?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Did you actually in fact tail Brother Brown those things?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
No. I wanted to, but I just never had the chance.
I love the way he does that, though. It just
knocks me out.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Bill. Did he tell you he was going to record
your song?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I didn't know he was going to record it until
after the record had already had been cut. Part of
it was done at the sound shop here in Nashville.
And I was down there recording one day and his producer,
Brad Shapiro, came in and he said, here, I got something.
I want you to listen to and I had no
idea what he was going to play me. And when
he put that on, I nearly went through the floor.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Bill And looking back, did still follow Mama Sang a Song?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I know you got into this pattern of talking on records.
I guess with Mama Sang a Song? You also somewhere
back in those days did Golden guitar?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Golden Guitar came about three years later. Mama Sang a
Song was the first record I ever talked on, and
still was the follow up record to Mama Sang a Song,
and then Golden Guitar came about three years after that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But I assume first time you did it was an
experiment totally.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And when I go back now and listen to the
old record of Mama Sang a Song, I sound like
an eighteen year old disc jockey from Commerce, Georgia, which
is about what I was at the time Mama Sang
a Song?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Were you his breathday back in those days?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
No, And if you listen to it, my voice was
a lot higher, like far and young, he says. I
listened to my old records and I sound like a girl.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right. Now, how do you think you sound on that.
We're going to go back and play the original version
of Still.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I don't like to hear the original version of Still,
except for the voices. I loved what the Anita Kirse
singers did on this, but as far as myself, to me,
I cringe every time I hear the way that I
performed it because I feel like it's so overdone. But
I didn't know how to talk back.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Then, Well, you feel like it's too contrived.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
It's to me, yes, it's I've lost count of the
hours I've lost track of that. I think of chev
Woolly doing the al every time I hear me.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was funny. What year are we into? Bill?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Nineteen sixty three?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
All right, here's Bill with one of the yeah and
this is the first time he went pop too, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Well, Mama Sang a Song flirted around the pop charts.
Of course, there were other records on Mama Sang a
Song by Walter Brennan, by Stan Kenton. My record got
some pop play, but this was really the This got
a lot of pop play. This got a lot of
pop play. This was this was a top five pop record.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
All right, here it is again, Bill was still.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Though you broke my heart.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh we're far apart. After all this time, you're still
(08:55):
on my mind.
Speaker 10 (09:13):
I've lost count of the hours, and i've lost track
of the days. In fact, I've lost just about everything
since you went away, everything that is, except the memories
you left me. And that's one thing that no one
can mar. I don't know who you're with.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I don't even know where you're gone.
Speaker 10 (09:35):
My only hope is that someday you might hear this
song and you'll know that I wrote it especially for you, and.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I love you wherever you are. Still, after all.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
This time, you're still on my mind. This flame in
(10:14):
my heart is like an eternal fire far Every day
it burns hotter, and every day it burns higher, and
I haven't been able to put out one little flicker,
not even with all of these tears. My friends think
I'm crazy, and maybe I am. But I'll carry this
(10:34):
torch just as long as I can. For some day
you might just decide to come home, and I want
you to know I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Though you broke my heart, so we're far apart.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Who is it that does it steal?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Don Boone?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, he said, wonder what Bill, say steal.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Don Bowen, Really I used to get after you. I
think he's the guy who named you whispering Bill.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I didn't know this until recently, but he's the One.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Fact is he's the first person I ever heard call
you whispering Bill.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, you're the first person that I ever heard call
me whisper.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I got it from Don Don at that time was
on your television show and Don would call me at night.
I was on the radio at night. He would call
me at night for whatever reason. I used to put
him on the air and he play a lot of characters.
But he I say, where you've been, I've been over
doing television with whisper? Yeah, I said, who whispering Bill?
(11:52):
That's about That's about the way that came about on
our show. You've heard Bill Anderson sing. Still Bill, I'll
just let you have at it with old job.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Here here's another former disc jockey made good, John Conley
and before my time he lies.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
He cheated until he broke your heart and you can't
count the gundra you pride. He made you afraid. Jimmy
a new star and that's why.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Name for drive.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
But that was it all.
Speaker 11 (12:54):

I'll have you f in the time of mine.
Speaker 1 (13:09):

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Someone you love you so strong that nothing else matters
at all. I know you carry those hardys to know
(13:43):
and now you're afraid to fall.
Speaker 12 (13:51):
But that was all mad.
Speaker 11 (13:58):
And I'll help you again in the arms of mine.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
What happened before?
Speaker 11 (14:21):
I'll help you fall again in the arms of mine.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
What happened refall mat.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, that is another disc jockey who became a success
story as a singer, John Connley and Johnny Duncan to
the come to mind. John Conley was before my time.

As Elvis would say, you better believe it. That's just

are back to raise stories, and earlier we played a
record in the Last Hour by Conway Twitty, I May
(16:08):
Never Get to Heaven, which was written by Bill Anderson
and Buddy Killen, your producer, and years ago Don Gibson
had this record out, this song quite successfully and the
story I was telling Bill a story he'd never heard,
but I believe it occurred in East Tennessee at a
radio station, maybe have been in Knoxville. It was always
(16:29):
told me that way that it was customary at this
station to have a hymn of the day played. Now,
you got to be careful when you play in records.
You better listen to the record first before you put
it on, sometimes you get in trouble. But Don Gibson
had previous to this, recorded an album of hymns, and
I suspect that's the reason this happened. But the disc
jockey came on and without listening to the song, I
(16:52):
may never get to Heaven, put it on the turntable
and said in somber tones, and now, friends, here is
our hemn of the day, Don Gibson singing I may
never get to heaven. And of course it that kind
of song at all.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I wonder what he said when it was over.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I heard a story one time, I don't know if
it's true or not, on Father's Day that a disc
jockey went to do a tribute song for the father's
and he said that, being as today as Father's Day,
I want to do this song for all the fathers.
It's called father Along, and played the old gospel song
further on.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Well, so much for that, I must move on. Susie
Allenson is here with a song.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
No I can't care see me and your faces you
believe it, But I guess that's just the Wayestobeko, you
always smile, Baddy, you you sorrow sure.

Oh you said show why don't get marvel when I
think about so well, I had to SA dinner, let

you know what you should know about?

get it. I can't.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Miss Susie Allenson singing without you. You see a lot
of gals at the wheel of pickup truck these days,
and it's not surprising that so many of them are
Ford pickups. After all, Ford is America's best selling pickup
according to RL Polk registrations. Gals appreciate the class and
comfort of Ford pickups as much as the guys do,
(20:34):
especially Ford's top of the line range You're Lariat with
its handsome upholstering, deep pile of carpeting, and extra insulation.
For extra room, there's Ford's Supercab, America's Roomius two door pickup,
and to make driving easier for everybody, Ford has options
like an adjustable tilt steering wheel and automatic speed control.
(20:54):
There's even an illuminated vanity mirror. Now that's a tender
touch for a truck. But make no mistake, fellas, these
new pickups do a man sized job. They're built Ford tough.
The ladies just happened to like them too. Take your
shopping at your Ford dealer and find out for yourself. Bill,
(21:15):
do you know this young fellow here?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I think I've met him. I know, I sure do
like this record? Is this is this Hank Cochran's brother
or his son, his son? Oh, I didn't know that.
I sure do like this song though it is called
it's called love Me Like a Stranger, and it's by
Cliff Cocker.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
No, And if you listen to it, my voice was
a lot higher, like far and young, he says. I
listened to my old records and I sound like a girl.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right. Now, how do you think you sound on that.
We're going to go back and play the original version
of Still.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I don't like to hear the original version of Still,
except for the voices. I loved what the Anita Kirse
singers did on this, but as far as myself, to me,
I cringe every time I hear the way that I
performed it because I feel like it's so overdone. But
I didn't know how to talk back.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Then, Well, you feel like it's too contrived.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
It's to me, yes, it's I've lost count of the
hours I've lost track of that. I think of chev
Woolly doing the al every time I hear me.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was funny. What year are we into? Bill?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Nineteen sixty three?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
All right, here's Bill with one of the yeah and
this is the first time he went pop too, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Well, Mama Sang a Song flirted around the pop charts.
Of course, there were other records on Mama Sang a
Song by Walter Brennan, by Stan Kenton. My record got
some pop play, but this was really the This got
a lot of pop play. This got a lot of
pop play. This was this was a top five pop record.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
All right, here it is again, Bill was still.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Though you broke my heart.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh we're far apart. After all this time, you're still
(08:55):
on my mind.
Speaker 10 (09:13):
I've lost count of the hours, and i've lost track
of the days. In fact, I've lost just about everything
since you went away, everything that is, except the memories
you left me. And that's one thing that no one
can mar. I don't know who you're with.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I don't even know where you're gone.
Speaker 10 (09:35):
My only hope is that someday you might hear this
song and you'll know that I wrote it especially for you, and.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I love you wherever you are. Still, after all.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
This time, you're still on my mind. This flame in
(10:14):
my heart is like an eternal fire far Every day
it burns hotter, and every day it burns higher, and
I haven't been able to put out one little flicker,
not even with all of these tears. My friends think
I'm crazy, and maybe I am. But I'll carry this
(10:34):
torch just as long as I can. For some day
you might just decide to come home, and I want
you to know I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Though you broke my heart, so we're far apart.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Who is it that does it steal?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Don Boone?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, he said, wonder what Bill, say steal.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Don Bowen, Really I used to get after you. I
think he's the guy who named you whispering Bill.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I didn't know this until recently, but he's the One.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Fact is he's the first person I ever heard call
you whispering Bill.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, you're the first person that I ever heard call
me whisper.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I got it from Don Don at that time was
on your television show and Don would call me at night.
I was on the radio at night. He would call
me at night for whatever reason. I used to put
him on the air and he play a lot of characters.
But he I say, where you've been, I've been over
doing television with whisper? Yeah, I said, who whispering Bill?
(11:52):

our show. You've heard Bill Anderson sing. Still Bill, I'll
just let you have at it with old job.

story as a singer, John Connley and Johnny Duncan to
the come to mind. John Conley was before my time.

are back to raise stories, and earlier we played a
record in the Last Hour by Conway Twitty, I May
(16:08):
Never Get to Heaven, which was written by Bill Anderson
and Buddy Killen, your producer, and years ago Don Gibson
had this record out, this song quite successfully and the
story I was telling Bill a story he'd never heard,
but I believe it occurred in East Tennessee at a
radio station, maybe have been in Knoxville. It was always
(16:29):
told me that way that it was customary at this
station to have a hymn of the day played. Now,
you got to be careful when you play in records.
You better listen to the record first before you put
it on, sometimes you get in trouble. But Don Gibson
had previous to this, recorded an album of hymns, and
I suspect that's the reason this happened. But the disc
jockey came on and without listening to the song, I
(16:52):
may never get to Heaven, put it on the turntable
and said in somber tones, and now, friends, here is
our hemn of the day, Don Gibson singing I may
never get to heaven. And of course it that kind
of song at all.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I wonder what he said when it was over.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I heard a story one time, I don't know if
it's true or not, on Father's Day that a disc
jockey went to do a tribute song for the father's
and he said that, being as today as Father's Day,
I want to do this song for all the fathers.
It's called father Along, and played the old gospel song
further on.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Well, so much for that, I must move on. Susie
Allenson is here with a song.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
No I can't care see me and your faces you
believe it, But I guess that's just the Wayestobeko, you

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Miss Susie Allenson singing without you. You see a lot
of gals at the wheel of pickup truck these days,
and it's not surprising that so many of them are
Ford pickups. After all, Ford is America's best selling pickup
according to RL Polk registrations. Gals appreciate the class and
comfort of Ford pickups as much as the guys do,
(20:34):
especially Ford's top of the line range You're Lariat with
its handsome upholstering, deep pile of carpeting, and extra insulation.
For extra room, there's Ford's Supercab, America's Roomius two door pickup,
and to make driving easier for everybody, Ford has options
like an adjustable tilt steering wheel and automatic speed control.
(20:54):
There's even an illuminated vanity mirror. Now that's a tender
touch for a truck. But make no mistake, fellas, these
new pickups do a man sized job. They're built Ford tough.
The ladies just happened to like them too. Take your
shopping at your Ford dealer and find out for yourself. Bill,
