This was called the Ford show because its sponsor was the Ford Motor Company, but most viewers called it the Ford show because of their fondness for the humor, warmth, and singing of the star Tennessee Ernie Ford.Tennessee Ernie's music was special. He recorded many rockabilly songs such as "Shotgun Boogie" in the early 50's before anyone had ever heard of Elvis. He had one of the biggest hits of all times "Sixteen Tons," written by the guitar genius Merle Travis. Yet gospel was in his heart and soul. He always ended the Ford Show with a hymn, his deep melodious voice calling the angels from heaven. After retirement he only recorded gospel music, no secular songs of any kind.Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBVVbNivmCQ Watch all my channels:http://youtube.com/hollywoodclassicshttp://youtube.com/hollywoodclassics2http://youtube.com/hollywoodclassics3http://youtube.com/hollywoodclassics4http://youtube.com/hollywoodclassics5http://youtube.com/hollywoodclassics6http://youtube.com/hollywoodclassics7http://youtube.com/classicanimationhttp://youtube.com/dancefrenzyhttp://youtube.com/classicdocumentarieshttp://youtube.com/vintagecommercialshttp://youtube.com/classicsoundboxhttp://youtube.com/classicmagicboxhttp://youtube.com/videomiscellany
