Watch this beautiful live performance of country music legend Don Williams of his signature song “”You’re My Best Friend.” This song was released in April 1975 as the first single and title track from the album You’re My Best Friend. The song was Williams’ second No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in June 1975.
“Scoring at least one major hit every year between 1974 and 1991, Don Williams had an impressive fifty-six chart records. Fifty of these reached the country Top Twenty, and forty-five made the Top Ten; seventeen went to #1. In 1978 he was the Country Music Association’s (CMA) Male Vocalist of the Year, and his recording of “Tulsa Time” was the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Single of the Year. In 1980, readers of London’s Country Music People magazine named him Artist of the Decade. Born May 27, 1939, in Floydada, Texas, Don Williams learned guitar from his mother and performed in various country, folk, and rock & roll bands as a teenager. “(source: Don-Williams. com)
Song by Don Williams
You placed gold on my finger
You brought love, like I’ve never known
You gave life to our children
And to me, a reason to go on
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend
When I need hope and inspiration
You’re always strong when I’m tired and weak
I could search this whole world over
You’d still be everythin’ that I need
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend
