I love this story and have deep respect for Herbie Howell, the performer who I filmed way back in 1969. I have posted this clip before but the algorithm is completely ignoring it and sharing it with no viewers. I believe some of you would find his story meaningful and so I am posting it again.
My documentary team and I went to Nashville, Tennessee in 1969 to film the Nashville country music scene, performances at the Grand Ole Opry and behind the scenes stories as well. It was all in celebration of the 45th anniversary of the Opry. We got the chance to film the greatest country, bluegrass, old-time, mountain music singers and songwriters and dancers and the result of our efforts became the documentary feature film Nashville Sound, now a classic.
We recorded stars like Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Charlie Pride, Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, Porter Wagoner and so many others. And then there was Herbie Howell. A sweet man. A wonderful singer and songwriter. And we filmed him just as he was getting his break with one of the most powerful agents and managers in country music. He left Nashville feeling that he was on his way to country music stardom or at least success. It didn't happen.
I don't know why the YouTube algorithm has been ignoring this story so I decided to present it again to my subscribers and other viewers now in honor of Herbie Howell and all of the unknown but great country music/bluegrass/mountain music talents who come largely from the southern states of America to Nashville, to seek their fortunes.
If this story touched you, I would appreciate your support by clicking on the Super Thanks button below the video screen to the right. That support allows me to take the time to go to my archive and make videos like this one.
Thank you
