I gave it a listen and it’s not my type of music, which is fine. We don’t all have to like the same things. No offense intended.

Thanks buddy.

Looks like people are taking this all wrong.

I've heard this song ever since i was a kid with numerous different artists (good and bad) and I think you don't have to like it to appreciate the harmony and feelings this group put into it.

Obviously I was wrong.

Nice, but I think I still think I vaguely remember a Statler Bros version being much better or was that the Oak Ridge Boys?

Were you maybe thinking of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJyiQzTAXDs as I don't think either of them did three bells?

If I somehow missed it I'd love to hear it.

Thank you for sharing MonBK. This is beautiful. FYI: that was the man himself, Bill Gaither, singing bass on the left. An amazing talent in gospel country music.

No, I’m pretty sure it was three bells. Maybe I got the group wrong.
