Cowboy Music it is! I used to hear this in Orlando, FLA---back when it was a cow-town! Good Gawd, she was just SPELLBINDING---a goddess,for sure!

[mlhpaints]

This is definitely country music

[luneda2]

She would win any beauty contest, if I were on the jury panel anyway. Gosh I find this late war style fantastic. Just kind natural. Wonderful darkish voice into the bargain

I think Cliffie Stone once recorded this also. Great old song.

[50sJohnny]

Have always loved her music but I must admit this is the first time I rememeber hearing her sing. She sounds great to me even if she doesn't have that 'country sound.'

Jim Reeves was one of my favorite singers and he loved to record her music, but he would seem to put more of the orchestra sound than I care for. It seemed that everyone tried to sound like Elvis when he started. I love his old music but it is NOT country music. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

She is one of my distant cousins---Her Father's last name was Eiland--My grandmother's grandmother came from the Eiland side of the family--in Mississippi--I think Cindy moved to Texas--She is beautiful and a great songwriter and singer--She looks like a movie star from the 40's

come on home, Cindy Walker

[hfuryth]

How come this is the same picture that shows up on a Skeeter Davis video - Singin' In The Summer Sun?

[gm0618]

@hfuryth Cindy Walker wrote it is why

[panzalarga]

Cindy Walker wrote many great songs, but not this one. It is by a male songwriter named Walker.

[panzalarga]

No, it was written by Wiley Walker, as you can confirm at any number of on-line sites.

[pastore0506]

@panzalarga according to wwwdottcmradiodotcom/news/Janu­ary/Jan9.htm it was written by Gene Sullivan

[kibblebits54]

I hear you MoJooPiano ...Jim Reeves recorded a bunch of her songs...when i was a young'n I used to flip the LP over and if I saw Cindy Walker songs were on it became an automatic buy.

Wonderful Singing here

[Daddymccourt]

Backing everything hillbilly music should NOT be! Piano, drums and even trumpet. It was the introduction of those things that marked the death of country music as we all knew and loved it.

[badbrian1]

Jimmie Davis used the same instruments

[Daddymccourt]

I know, more's the pity. So did Jimmy Rodgers, Bob Wills, Hank Thompson and many others. They started it, Chet Atkins jumped on the bandwagon, introduced them into mainstream country and killed it stone dead replacing it with the Nashville Sound, soon to be copied by many others.

[Bbcfunguy]

I love her voice, wish I could find more songs by her.

[horatiobaltz]

got to love that wonderful muted trumpet nice post!

[twerpy7]

Fabulous.

What a great treasure from the past.

[sheelaghm]

What a surprise - I love this song and the only person I've heard sing it was Elvis.

Love this version.

[MoJoPiano]

Not only a good singer, an OUTSTANDING songwriter, but my, what a LOOKER too! It has been estimated that more than 500 of Cindy Walkers songs have been recorded and that her songs made the top-forty charts (country or pop) more than 400 times. In September 1997 Cindy Walker was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame (together with another songwriter, Harlan Howard). THANKS LILLY!
