Gaither Gospel | Best of Buddy Greene | May 23, 2025

Bill gaither: life is made up of moments...
00:00:08.031 --> 00:00:11.468
... like turning the pages of a photograph album.
00:00:11.468 --> 00:00:14.170
Our memories preserve for us the relationships...
00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:16.806
... and events that tell the stories of each of our lives.
00:00:16.806 --> 00:00:21.711
Happy, sad, joyful, and painful.
00:00:21.711 --> 00:00:25.215
The memories of our days make up the fabric...
00:00:25.215 --> 00:00:28.251
... of who we are.
00:00:28.251 --> 00:00:30.153

♪how they ever flood my soul♪
00:00:44.701 --> 00:00:57.914
Bill gaither: an unforgettable memory was made when dozens of friends...
00:00:57.914 --> 00:01:01.351
... who had spent their lives in gospel music...
00:01:01.351 --> 00:01:03.553
... gathered to sings some songs from their own...
00:01:03.553 --> 00:01:06.022
... personal treasure of memories.
00:01:06.022 --> 00:01:08.858
For these folks, many precious memories...
00:01:08.858 --> 00:01:11.861
... had begun around a piano somewhere.
00:01:11.861 --> 00:01:13.796
They're sharing songs about how their lives have been changed...
00:01:13.796 --> 00:01:17.867
... by god's amazing grace.

00:01:23.673 --> 00:01:25.308
- in the summer of 1986, i was introduced
00:01:25.308 --> 00:01:27.810
To a talented young musician by the name of buddy greene,
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:31.281
And that very year, we introduced him
00:01:31.281 --> 00:01:33.049
To our audience at praise gathering.
00:01:33.049 --> 00:01:35.585
The crowd instantly loved this fun-loving,
00:01:35.585 --> 00:01:38.888
Harmonica-playing country boy from georgia,
00:01:38.888 --> 00:01:41.991
And he soon became an important part
00:01:41.991 --> 00:01:44.460
Of the homecoming video series.
00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:46.429
I learned very quickly that this good ol' boy
00:01:46.429 --> 00:01:49.432
Is quite a sophisticated musician
00:01:49.432 --> 00:01:51.634
And a very profound thinker.
00:01:51.634 --> 00:01:53.603
He has a rare combination of credibility as an artist
00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:57.173
And a genuinely humble spirit that god has used powerfully
00:01:57.173 --> 00:02:01.611
On the homecoming stage
00:02:01.611 --> 00:02:03.580
As well as through his own influence
00:02:03.580 --> 00:02:05.682
As a solo artist.
00:02:05.682 --> 00:02:07.317
Audiences love him, and he's a joy to work with too.
00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:10.853
It is my privilege to offer you an up close and personal look
00:02:10.853 --> 00:02:14.591
At the life and music of my friend

- buddy greene!
00:04:56.285 --> 00:05:57.480
Buddy, how many years has it been
00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:58.815
Since you and i got together?
00:05:58.815 --> 00:06:00.116
What, 20, 22?
00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:01.484
- ooh, yeah, 23 years now. - 23.
00:06:01.484 --> 00:06:04.587
- hard to believe. - and it was funny.
00:06:04.587 --> 00:06:06.255
We were talking before we came on camera.
00:06:06.255 --> 00:06:08.424
It's just--it's just normal to say, "buddy greene,"
00:06:08.424 --> 00:06:12.462
"buddy greene."
00:06:12.462 --> 00:06:13.830
You hardly have a first name, do you?
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:15.598
- yeah, it's hyphenated. "buddy-greene."
00:06:15.598 --> 00:06:18.701
- and it was true-- we talked with you,
00:06:18.701 --> 00:06:20.703
And you came to an event that we had for many years
00:06:20.703 --> 00:06:23.606
In indianapolis called praise gathering.
00:06:23.606 --> 00:06:26.642
It was a three-day event, and you were perfect for that.
00:06:26.642 --> 00:06:29.545
There was nothing to warm up an audience
00:06:29.545 --> 00:06:32.215
Like you playing that harmonica and...
00:06:32.215 --> 00:06:35.885
- and boy, did i love it.
00:06:35.885 --> 00:06:37.253
I mean, what a great experience.
00:06:37.253 --> 00:06:38.988
You know, i was coming out of the field of country music,
00:06:38.988 --> 00:06:41.190
Traveling with jerry reed and--
00:06:41.190 --> 00:06:43.359
And really all of my experience up to that point as a performer
00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:45.828
Had been in secular venues of one sort or another.
00:06:45.828 --> 00:06:48.397
So to find myself in the middle of 10,000 believers
00:06:48.397 --> 00:06:52.235
And celebrating the gospel and, as jerry reed would say,
00:06:52.235 --> 00:06:57.039
"having people throw babies out of the balcony,"
00:06:57.039 --> 00:06:59.075
It was pretty--you know, it was pretty exciting for me.
00:06:59.075 --> 00:07:01.244
I loved it.
00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:02.311
- well, it started then,
00:07:02.311 --> 00:07:03.679
And then you did a lot of touring with us,
00:07:03.679 --> 00:07:05.248
And then, of course, the video series came on.
00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:07.350
And we took you to some pretty prestigious places,
00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:11.454
Including the trip to israel.
00:07:11.454 --> 00:07:13.656
- oh, yeah. yeah, what a great time.
00:07:13.656 --> 00:07:15.224
- beautiful experience to be-- we were just--
00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:19.529
We were in jerusalem, inside the walls there,
00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:22.865
And you were playing and singing
00:07:22.865 --> 00:07:24.800
This walking in jerusalem just like john, right?
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.570
- yeah, with the isaacs too.
00:07:27.570 --> 00:07:29.739
I mean, that's always a thrill to play with them.
00:07:29.739 --> 00:07:32.208
But, yeah, that setting was so magnificent.
00:07:32.208 --> 00:07:35.244
And where were we? in the citadel of david there?
00:07:35.244 --> 00:07:37.446
- yeah, yeah.
00:07:37.446 --> 00:07:38.881
- i loved that song, and i-- i think revelation has become
00:07:38.881 --> 00:07:41.717
One of my favorite books in the bible.
00:07:41.717 --> 00:07:43.286
And to consider that, you know,
00:07:43.286 --> 00:07:45.688
Being in the present-day jerusalem,
00:07:45.688 --> 00:07:48.291
But thinking about the new jerusalem
00:07:48.291 --> 00:07:49.892
And singing that song, it was a wonderful moment.
00:07:49.892 --> 00:07:53.095
- well, let's go there, okay?

- there wasn't a night
00:18:46.682 --> 00:18:48.016
When you were traveling with the group all the time--
00:18:48.016 --> 00:18:50.852
And i think you're gonna do a lot more of that
00:18:50.852 --> 00:18:52.621
In the future again--
00:18:52.621 --> 00:18:54.089
That when we were in a hole, we'd say,
00:18:54.089 --> 00:18:56.024
"buddy, play something."
00:18:56.024 --> 00:18:58.193
And all you'd have to do is
00:18:58.193 --> 00:18:59.528
Play a phrase of an old hymn or something,
00:18:59.528 --> 00:19:01.463
And people would start singing.
00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:02.731
It is also an instrument
00:19:02.731 --> 00:19:03.966
That helps people to worship, isn't it?
00:19:03.966 --> 00:19:05.801
- it is, and once again, i think its expressiveness
00:19:05.801 --> 00:19:08.637
Is so much like the human voice.
00:19:08.637 --> 00:19:11.907
At least, that's what i've always tried to achieve with it,
00:19:11.907 --> 00:19:14.243
In those moments especially,
00:19:14.243 --> 00:19:15.877
You know, playing a timeless melody like amazing grace
00:19:15.877 --> 00:19:20.115
Or i need thee every hour,
00:19:20.115 --> 00:19:22.217
Those--those are wonderful melodies, for one thing,
00:19:22.217 --> 00:19:25.354
But when you can really put some feeling into it
00:19:25.354 --> 00:19:28.690
And find the soul in a-- in an instrument
00:19:28.690 --> 00:19:31.393
Like you can with a harmonica
00:19:31.393 --> 00:19:32.761
And attach it to a melody like that,
00:19:32.761 --> 00:19:34.763
Then, yeah, it can work wonders.
00:19:34.763 --> 00:19:36.632
