Stay Young - Don Williams - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Don Williams recorded “Stay Young” in 1983 as the third single from the album Yellow Moon, released on March 25 via MCA Records. The song, written by Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle, was produced by Don Williams alongside Garth Fundis during sessions in Nashville. “Stay Young” features a bright arrangement driven by mandolin riff, steady country rhythm and Don Williams’s signature baritone, offering gentle encouragement to live freely and maintain youthful spirit. The lyrics deliver simple, optimistic advice like “stay young with your rock ’n’ rollin’,” sung in Don Williams’s calm, conversational style. The single reached Number 1 on the US Billboard country singles chart for one week in early 1984 and spent twelve weeks on the chart, also peaking at number 3 on Canada’s RPM country chart. Though it departed from Don Williams’s usual romantic ballads, “Stay Young” became his fifteenth Number 1 country hit. Don Williams’s grounded performance and breezy production on “Stay Young” mark it as an uplifting highlight in his early 1980s era.
