I used to LOVE Connie Smith when I was a kid. I haven't thought of her in 35 years. WOW, she was all over the country radio when I was a tiny wee shaver, then she got religious and turned to gospel type music.
@bklane1 There's nothing wrong with it, but like so many other artists that find religion they devote all their time to it and then don't make the same music they did before. It's lessens the fan base. She's still great no matter what she sings.
DON'T READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS TO AT LEAST THREE VIDEOS OR YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DON'T STOP THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVER NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN THE BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARE CAUSE IT ACTUALL WORKS
I collected more than dozen of Connie's albums. Every one is a treasure.
It's amazing that the video of this age was kept in this condition of picture and sound quality. I can also see the Jordanaires in the background. They appeared in many country performances in this era. Oh gee, these were the good ole days.
Bill Anderson wrote it. Connie Smith made a monster classic out of it. He also wrote her utterly stupendous Nobody But A Fool. Doesn't get much better than that.
@tigerbrooks1 - If you really pay attention, you'll see that a lot of youtube videos don't ever sync up with sound. But another thing to take into consideration is that a lot of shows back in the day NEVER used live singing. Everything was lip synced in order to preserve sound quality and simplify taping in the studio. Like @DrMcCoolsz says, this video is the real deal... though I wish I would recreate it :)
@cherrydelro Yeah..................today the "singers" NEVER sing live on TV and many of them lip-sync in concerts!!! Think about it.....................they charge you $99 to let you listen to the radio.
I grew up with this stuff--even though these numbers were already 5 years old when I was born. My favourite number off her first album is 'I Don't Love You Anymore'. My mother calls it a great number; I think it's a very under-rated song. Find it. Listen to it.
thanks to zooey, i came to watch this... this is connie from way early on.. i wish i was a teddy bear was the one i remember & liked from the 70's - what a beautiful voice connie had - and she was gorgeous, & she still looks great today.
All these so called country performers in the "new Nashville country" need stage effects, smoke and what not to put on a show. It's not about all that junk its about the music and Connie can sing. What a great song!
@tigerbrooks1 ....Its an old video. Take a look at most videos from back then, theyre all like that. And as for her mic...could be either in her dress or hanging above her, as they have alot there. hope this helps answer your question. None of this video is fake.
I discovered Connie in 1965 and I'm; still in love with her ...... (I'm 61 old..... Wish she was single.... Je lui ferais bien la cour ... Big hello from Belgium to all the fans )
if connie was 23 in '65...and i was 17...what a great time ...to be young...except for the vietnam war...the unrest in all the colleges..about the war...and the draft...and the hate in the south with the blacks fighting for civi rights....and getting hosed down with those fireman hoses...and k9 dogs bitting them....everything was just fine...i am now 63...which would make her 69...
The only #1 hit of Connie Smith's career which made it to the top of the Country & Western charts. She is the only female artist to have a long running #1 on the C&W charts (8 weeks). It was the 80th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era.
I wonder if the up-coming lady country stars of these days could sing as the retired queens of country..Loretta Lynn, Connie Smith, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline..etc..but I guess not..close...close maybe.
what a song....i took the words from this song and changed them slightly in memory of my Dad, who i miss everyday all day long....it will be 3 yars next month since i lost my dad....and i think about him once a day.....all day long thanks for posting
As I almost turn 50, I wish I could go back to better days of people, society and music. Moral and the value system was second to none. Getting older is not the problem, it's the cesspool of society that's the problem. I would like to have been 49 in those days.
I'm 21, and I prefer this music to the music of my generation hands down. This is real country--no smoke and mirrors, just down-to-earth beautiful voices with actual talent. Connie Smith will always be one of my favorites.
@sweetsissy0218 good call.. this music actually says something and not just talk. my girlfriend thinks its funny that i listen to music from the "20's" but she will come around.
@sweetsissy0218 good call.. this music actually says something and not just talk. my girlfriend thinks its funny that i listen to music from the "20's" but she will come around.
@sweetsissy0218 I'm 46, was brought up on old country.. even older than the great connie smith, and I hate todays country.... Country singers today have no idea what country is
Diarmid63 - you are NOT an old curmudgeon - some of today's 'country music' is not what I call country music either. This is what I define as country music. Youtube is awesome for this and there are obviously many many more that feel this way - otherwise we wouldn't have these great posts. I don't know where people find these to share - but I'm grateful.
I'm kin to her. My mama goes on and on about it. I guess she does kind of look like me when I was younger. I never tried to sing like her. Maybe I will try.
Speaking as a Texan I hope WV never forgets this Beautiful country music ...What a Lady ,what a song...sounds of Days Gone forever but NEVER forgotten.
Great song, great video! I was 7 mo's old when that was filmed. I love watching old clips like this and see how the fashion and hair and character styles were then.
She has such a strong voice, and I'm surprised how long they stayed on the back-up singers.
When Country Artist Marty Stewart was 15,his Mom took him to a CONNIE SMITH SHOW. Marty met Connie back stage and told her ,"someday,Im going to marry You".......and He DID!! hahahah
Growing up in New Zealand as a farmers son I loved country music! I followed my childhood dream & became a Country Singer myself.
.Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings & the greats are amoung my influences but I had a musical treasure, inspiration & my first childhood crush...Connie Smith!
That powerful, pure, soulful voice taught me a lot. Jonnie Mac.
I saw this movie, "Seconf fiddle to a steel guitar" in 1965...i was 12 yrs old...and I have never forgotten how touched i was with Connie Smith then. And to be quite truthful, things havent changed!
Absolute utter perfection. Bill Anderson wrote it. Connie Smith sang it to perfection. Check out her clip of Nobody But A Fool from the film Las Vegas Hillbillys, in which she is backed by Bill Anderson's amazing Po' Boys band, with the great Snuffy Miller (drums) and the legendary Jimmy Gateley (rhythm guitar). Country music at its finest!
I was 14 years old at the time and I fell in love with Connie Smith, as did many adolescent boys of the day. A beautiful face and beautiful voice. I do miss those days so.
@ceylon1964 Try mailing Bobbee Seymour (just search for him on this site) he knows just about everybody in the music industry and may be able to help you. :-)
It is amazing to recall that once upon a time music acts had to get by on talent as they simply stood and sang. No dancing and prancing about, no pyrotechnics, no special effects. Just a band, a voice and backup singers. I guess I am an old curmudgeon, I prefer the days of yore.
Ok, my old lps are a little bit scratchy, but I listen to them every week ... Listen too to "I love Charlie Brown" ... She's the best !! Greatings from Belgium !
No naked women,fireworks,look at the rest of the singers and players. NO ripped up jeans,anymore they look like their out of a homeless shelter,of course none of them can sing anymore,all of them sound ALIKE,it is about how they look anymore and gimmicks,not about talent or their voice Sure miss the REAL Country the ONLY Country,Down with TRASHVILLE Now a place for Losers, nothing there anymore except Rock and Roll and Pop Singers
@Diarmid63 i'd put money on the odds she's miming. not knocking the song but facts is facts, its all smoke and mirrors, always has been always will be.
Connie Smith has the greatest country voice on the planet. Clear as a bell, great style, powerful yet feminine, She is as gorgeous today as she was back then.
@pedalman Its funny. When I read this, I thought instantly that the greatest female voice was Anita Carter. I love them both, and after a moment of thinking, I still believe what I just said, but I find I cannot argue against you by picking Connie either.
Roksaltnnails , you know you could be right about Anita Carter, I hadn't thought of her , two different voices but they might just have to share the same pedestal.
From the movie "Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar", featuring Sonny James' "Southern Gentlemen" on background vocals off to the right. Duane West, Gary Robble, I forgot the name of the third one, then Lin Bown on the right.
I was in high school when this came out and fell in love with Connie...........she sure came out with numerous songs that were great, but I really favor this one. Thanks..............
My apologies to all the Connie Smith fans for my exchange with "BearStar1." This forum should be about the MUSIC. And Connie represents the best of classic country. She just has no peer.
We are very lucky to still be able to hear her sing every week on rfd-tv on the Marty Stuart show. Marty is very lucky also because with her in the show its near impossible to have a bad one. Thanks for posting.
i think i hear auto-tune...........ya right...not needed with her...infact no one needed it before...why is it most need it now????

I think you are right on with your comment, I would like to use it too.
connie proves that young people knew how to sing country, unlike their pathetic attempt at it today.

It is amazing to recall that once upon a time music acts had to get by on talent as they simply stood and sang. No dancing and prancing about, no pyrotechnics, no special effects. Just a band, a voice and backup singers. I guess I am an old curmudgeon, I prefer the days of yore.

@Diarmid63 I agree with you on this one. I love the old days when ppl could sing. Today all i see are naked ppl on stage with no real talents

@Diarmid63 Your totally right
No naked women,fireworks,look at the rest of the singers and players. NO ripped up jeans,anymore they look like their out of a homeless shelter,of course none of them can sing anymore,all of them sound ALIKE,it is about how they look anymore and gimmicks,not about talent or their voice Sure miss the REAL Country the ONLY Country,Down with TRASHVILLE Now a place for Losers, nothing there anymore except Rock and Roll and Pop Singers

Connie Smith has the greatest country voice on the planet. Clear as a bell, great style, powerful yet feminine, She is as gorgeous today as she was back then.

@pedalman Its funny. When I read this, I thought instantly that the greatest female voice was Anita Carter. I love them both, and after a moment of thinking, I still believe what I just said, but I find I cannot argue against you by picking Connie either.

Roksaltnnails , you know you could be right about Anita Carter, I hadn't thought of her , two different voices but they might just have to share the same pedestal.

I just love these great old classic country songs and the stars that sang them.
Thanks

From the movie "Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar", featuring Sonny James' "Southern Gentlemen" on background vocals off to the right. Duane West, Gary Robble, I forgot the name of the third one, then Lin Bown on the right.

My apologies to all the Connie Smith fans for my exchange with "BearStar1." This forum should be about the MUSIC. And Connie represents the best of classic country. She just has no peer.

We are very lucky to still be able to hear her sing every week on rfd-tv on the Marty Stuart show. Marty is very lucky also because with her in the show its near impossible to have a bad one. Thanks for posting.
