[pickles7691]

All the good ole' songs.. wish they would come back....

[jerry3136]

Any one who has ever had to say goodbye to a love that had meaning in their life can relate to these words.

[bensundy]

I REALLY LIKE THIS-JUST GREAT MUSIC--THANK YOU

[jeanie2020]

todays music sounds nothing like this.these new singers have nothing like this.

[MrSunlazer]

I remember buying this cassette in the 80s. I'm still listening!

[dearhunter691]

earl rocks

[Queendust1]

The very best there s!!

[Delapaz28]

Remember my Relation with Brett Allen, I still Love Him

[lascivious95]

[trapperkatie]

[FctxsBC]

one of my favorite songs when country was country

[Danawriter1]

My all-time favorite ETC song. Thanks for posting.

[justinp1964]

7 number one hits off of one record!



[michaelc9999]

Earl Thomas Conleys voice is so unbelievable reminds me of growing up. Does anyone think that he could pass as Keith Whitleys brother?

[starr522]

does anyone else but me get hate responses when they say Ms Swift, Zac Brown or Darius Rucker isn' t country? Or is it just me?

[musclecarluvr1]

This takes me right back to the days...the good times, the memories, the best music ever!

[jay78251]

This is when country was country

[ufomsg1]

Wow i forgot about this tune. This guy is the real deal.

[harv33z]

Should not Swift be in the same category as Bieber and the Gag, the annoying adolescent music category. Not sure what she is but not, i repeat, not country.

[696frances]

@harv33z you are so right, Swift gotta long way to go before I call her Country. Don't think she will make it to the ranks of Reba, Loretta, Sugarland, Tammy and the other good ole country female singers!!!!

[Leblon56]

THE golden era of country. Gives me the chills. Pure talent.

[GeorgeStraitLover01]

Sallyjane82 I think george strait needs to be on that list.

[jerdeb4evr]

Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, we still have some good country singers

[blueboy9456]

I sure do miss the GOOD OL' COUNTRY MUSIC, not the crap they call country today. Taylor Swift contry? Give me a break. I'll take ET, Ed Bruce, RVS, George Strait, George Jones, etc. any day of the week, that is PURE COUNTRY.

[Roscoe8383]

@blueboy9456 You damn right my friend!!!!!!!

[sweets87401]

ahh i live  just like it daay by day lol

[suzieq0007]

I still love this one

[acadien64]

@suzieq0007 Been and still is one of my all time favorites!!

[Mrscateyes57]

This is real country music...



[emmytyra]

The song I want to here is "DREAMING'S ALL I DO" by ETC I can find the lyrics with no problem. What I can't fine is this song to listen to or to buy.

[MidwestKamikazeDisco]

this explains my life perfectly right now.it just comes down to who i decide to hurt.

[twgish]

@MidwestKamikazeDisco wheres ur heart...who owns it

[emmytyra]

Does anyone know the song "dreaming's all i do" by ETC? I would love to fine this.

[TheRichboy44]

@emmytyra Go to google type in Earl Thomas Conley Dreaming's all i do it will give you the lyrics

[byTheFish]

DONT READ THIS BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT ON THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NO, YOUVE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MIN. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON YOUR SCREEN INBIG LETTERS. THIS IS SCARY CUZ IT ACTUALLY WORKS

[jumper0608]

This is without a doubt real country music. I beleive most men have experienced this at one time or another in their life - or at least had that fantasy. We are a strange bunch at times.

[dbeck94]

this song definently reminds me of the girl i love

[ztoneish]

Everybody in there 40s - 50s wishes this stuff was on the radio nowawadays, now........... if somebody can put that "Time Tunnel" tv show back on, we could all jump in the tunnel and go enjoy this music in Real time once again....

[811friday]

@ztoneish i'm in my thirties and wish they would play good music like this on the radio. I can't stad todays pop country.

[5musiclovers]

@811friday There are some good songs, as well Great Artists.

Alan Jackson is one, Garth, Travis Tritt, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton

But I agree the late 70's early 80's was the type I LOVE the BEST. I get

tired of todays, everything is so much the same. But I suppose one could say the

same about any time frame. The music was and still is so much better.

[Stinger357]

@811friday going to see john conley in concert at the choctaw casino in durant oklahoma on feb 10th WAHOOOO!!

[esacnitsuj1]

I Totally agree with sb2244!!! :-)

I still love the Classic Country & the Classic sound(s) These days, some groups get a tad to Rock, Pop, & it doesn't really sound country anymore & I want new groups to come out doing more Alan Jackson, George Straight, Keith Whitley, Doug Stone, Hank, Farron, T.G. Brown & the list goes on!

We have lost some of the greatest country artists whom I've known about, as I was born Oct. 11, 63

BUT...They'll always B remembered on YouTube :-)

David

[TheJer1963]

@esacnitsuj1 I agree my friend. Dec. 11, 1963 for me. Starting to feel every year of it to. What a joy it was to have grown up with music like this. This is the reason I became a drummer.

[esacnitsuj1]

@TheJer1963

I play Piano & Electronic keyboard. I have a beautifu piano in my home & a great Roland,

But, there is nothing like a Real Piano :-)

Gotta love it!

[MrHeljam]

kind of hard not to love this music!!!it is timeless to say the least!!!

[cowboysangl420]

this is a classic song that makes me think about lost loves

[bacsi19461]

etc is one of the great ones of all times. his son gs and voice are timeless. please come back and save us.

[ladylinda1967]

I love this song . I can relate to the words . I know I am not the only one who feels this way. I am sure there is quite a few out there who has or is married to the wrong one.

[charleseastridge]

been there?????????????

[manuelelias100]

Brett, REMEMBER ME????

[jtgreer34]

wish these songs were on the radio still

[SuperWanda1964]

the song writers don't write the same way they did back in the day,

[J2TheeD]

all i can say is wow ,i love this

[Rubiglo]

If you want REAL Country you have to listen to "Austin Glen" One of the greatest guys around and the talent to go with it. Look him up on Facebook or go to his website. He's also here on You Tube. You won't be disappointed. He is one of the best anywhere!!!

[TRobinson1971]

One of the greatest country music voices of all time...IMO. His voice is along the lines of George Jones. And yes, you dont hear this music anymore. We still get Alan Jackson, but thats about it. I was practicing guitar and for some reason I started humming this song...not sure why...lol. So, I looked it up. Cant Win For Losing You is still my favorite of his though. Thanks for posting this...a classic.

[StephendeRafael]

These kind of songs that you don't hear anymore strike the perfect blend between music and lyrics, heartbreak and irony. Good stuff. What happened to all the good writers of country heartache?

[robystarnes]

oh what a beautiful song...it means so much to me!

[Sallyjane82]

THIS is country music...him, Conway, Vern Gosdin, Gene Watson, Merle, Waylon, Keith Whitley, Dottie West, and Tammy Wynette. This POP goes Country would make Elvis laugh.

[beenthere38]

@Sallyjane82 You got it right! The flash and glitter will wear off and todays music will wear off with it. The GOOD STUFF will be around forever. (although we may have to look for it)  Trust me.

[chance501]

@Sallyjane82 Give Jamey Johnson a listen, best country artist out there today. hit me back if you listen tell me whatyou think.

[Sallyjane82]

@chance501 I do like Jamey Johnson. There are several artists coming along that are country now. More than they used to be. I do have HOPE.

[clive573]

@Sallyjane82 i agree, zac brown band is my fav. of todays country. they actually have a country sound, with country lyrics

[Sallyjane82]

@clive573 I could not believe Zac Brown band won nothing the other night, and Taylor Swift won!! WHAT is that about? Mercy day!! If she is country, I am a five foot tall, blonde, brown eyed virgin.....and I am still fifteen years old. That is so far from me it is 180 degrees in the other direction. She can't carry a tune with a handle on it.

[TheWilliamjsmith]

@Sallyjane82 This is true, Zac Brown should have won.

[TheWilliamjsmith]

@clive573 I'am fr\om alabama, and I totally agree.

[mechanic9015]

@Sallyjane82 amen



[mechanic9015]

Respond to this video... amen 

[wantabe12345]

@Sallyjane82 AMEN to real country music!

[wantabe12345]

Respond to this video...  Amen to real country music!

[jay78251]

@Sallyjane82 John Conlee and Kenny Rogers want to have a word with you.

[Sallyjane82]

@jay78251 and what word would they want to have with me? I love John Conlee and Kenny Rogers, but to me, neither one of them were in the same category as ETC. Everyone knew, when they heard John Conlee sing, exactly who he was...and same with Kenny. But I could listen to ETC all night and not get tired. Like Gene Watson!! GOOD!!! OMGoodness Good...,

[memphistenn77]

@Sallyjane82 YOU ARE SOOOOOO RIGHT !!!!!!!!!

[TheChancesmom]

Haven't heard this song for years, love it, thanks for posting.

[junknapper]

There's still a few stations that play country, 103.9 Country Legends out of Louisville Ky. It's the real deal but needs more wattage. Their broadcast are limited to the Louisville area.

[lilmisstorres76]

Even at 35, I guess compared to most ppl I am part of a dying breed becuz this is TRUE Country as far as I'm concerned!!

[tracer28583]

country music has went to hell in a hand bag nobody plays the greats anymore why not???god live the great classic style of music

[lieyes72]

nice

[keefer2111]

Did you see the look on George Strait, when he was passed over?

Tell me where is Country Music going? its being flushed with all the other crap.

[SHSATNewYork]

What a magic!

[curvy71]

i love this song who has ever been in this situation like the song?

[SuperGrandmaT]

@curvy71 I have ...20 years ago , and it's still hurts! That could be my "usd to be 's" words !!

[curvy71]

@SuperGrandmaT thats bad to hear i could have been in that situation thank God i didn't

[CHAMBLER34]

grits are good too but i like biscuits and gravy better

[heinekenguy247]

One of the best songs of all time... I don't care who you are, you can't step to this

[dlew71662]

I bet Taylor or Keith never had hamhocks with a side of grits!!!.. If that bitch is country I'm a billygoat!!!

[Sallyjane82]

@dlew71662 That is just TOO funny!! Taylor and Keith would have to Google 'hamhocks' to be sure they were not being cussed. HA!!!

[lostcowhand]

@60sSaxMan

Probably the same idiots that think keith urban, etc. are country.

[misskitty813]

he deserves the Hall of Fame not just as a singer but as a songwriter too. This is true country music.

[Arcticfox36]

Vote ETC into the CM hall of fame! Go to thepetitionsite and sign your name. Earl has done a lot for us with his great music. Let's return the favor now!

[W6CSAhamradio]

I am in New Orleans and they just don't have a station that plays real country music here. Its sad I wonder if I could get a community pledge from locals here to get an FCC license and equipment to start a radio station that plays this kinda stuff.

[cartman0817]

Damn what an amazing song this is. they just don't write many songs anymore that have this much feellings put into them. I Love this song. This real true country music.

[granno67]

If you are in the Dayton, Ohio area there is a radio station playing these and many more old artists. It's 100.3 with Chubby Howard and they play some of Wyatt McCubbin's music. 16 year old that writes his own and does old Waylon and many others. Check it out.

[Luvtrinity31]

I Love Earl Thomas Conley, and all his music, always will!!!

[oldlostone]

I miss good country music like Earl

[chitwood03]

@oldlostone you got that right......No true country any more....

[SuperGrandmaT]

@oldlostone ....I can't figure out why Earl did not make it big! He has one of the most beautiful,, purest voices i have ever heard ! What a shame ! He was booked for a Concert in Edmonton , Alberta, and it was cancelled because not enough tickets were sold ! What a shame !!

[oldlostone]

@SuperGrandmaT That's too bad, it's nice to get together with others that really appreciate the good music that they don't play anymore

[EclipsePrincess1994]

I can clearly remember when this song came out. True country music will never die it will live in the hearts of all us true country music fans. I am happy to saw that my 16 year old daughter was raised on this fine music.

[sarahh2009loved]

When this song does come on the radio, my husband turns it. He says he doesn't like it. Should I be suspicious? : /

[amydiane197831]

@sarahh2009loved I would be suspicious. Look at his facial expressions & how he says to change it and just his actions. I've found out recently that some men will die before they tell the truth. I am pregnant and the father (the love of my life for 17 years), doesn't want to be a part of me or it. I know why cuz he has someone at home he's with. I just know by things that happen. He will never tell me though. But I think I deserve to know. I hope ur man isnt cheating. God bless u.

[MsClassic45]

All ETC Fans:

Call attention to the Country Music Foundation that Earl deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame by going to ETC Fan Club Page on Facebook and click on the link for the petiton and then adding your name to the petition. Thanks for supporting him. It only takes a minute. We must get him in because he is so deserving.

[tatflash]

Danm!!

[hopiking1]

Yup I remember the days we use to get up at 4am and give to horses water and give the lambs and baby goats milk. And we carey and big radio around well herding sheep :-) listening the earl and other country singers!

[ChopperDemon1971]

You sure hit the nail on the head, they just don't make this quality of music any longer and its a damn shame.

[hopiking1]

This song takes be back to the time when I use to heard sheep on the rez at my grandmothers house.

[WVbornnraised88]

im only 23 and this music takes my breath away! Thank God for being raised in a small town where real music still exists!

[SouthernPride67]

@WVbornnraised88 im 15. And COuntry music dont get any better then this

[SouthernINDIANAgirl]

@SouthernPride67

Im 16 and totally agree with u...... My friends listen to country but not old country i use to think my dad ruined me when i was little... lol.... Im glad there are people my age listening to this stuff..... :)

[erniedsutton]

@SouthernINDIANAgirl girl in texas thats all young people listen to its in there roots , at our rodeos if its not old they dont play it

[SouthernINDIANAgirl]

@erniedsutton

Thats great.... cuz if you ask one of my friends if they like Merl Haggard or David Allen Cole their always like who?? Then im like whoops nevermind haha

[jimmymcmi]

Gospel music sings about God, rock makes a lot of noise, rap is not music at all, but classic country sings about me!

[Josephsockwell]

I left the mother of child, the only woman to ever really care about me, for someone I loved. We dated in HS, lived together in college. I contacted her to get closure, it re-ignited something I had buried. When the seperation was legal, just after her divorce, she just quit returning my calls. Hearts don't break even, and that'll be the last time I ever let someone hurt me that way.

[14truthisbeauty]

daaaang it.... now they both gone,,,,hell yeah!!!!

[pebbize]

This song has such meaning to it..... The words are a true meaning to me.... I have loved and lost.... But they are true.... The hardest thing I ever had to do was to walk away... Yet my heart still belongs to that person.... Even though i am not holding anyone but my daughter now days!!!!!!!

[MyHenryco]

This should be among the great classics.......today's country singers all sound just alike......why in the world would someone pay big money to hear this 'canned' sound!

Ray Price, Marty Robbins.....Hank.....Willie...­......tops..........

[liveandlearnangel]

@MyHenryco I agree. Great song. But if this song were "real life" what a cop out this would be. We all have had our "love of my life." Myself included but after loving him for 10 years......I realized it had all been one sided. He was only using me. The hardest thing I've ever had to do......understanding that I was used.

[dsmit13]

It's tough to make that decision when that woman is good as gold. Dang sure glad I did though.

[PowPow2001]

I was the other woman, a few times. Not purposely either. But how I loved them!!

[grizzyman92]

here you go calvin!!!!

[1questionable]

The 10 cs that disliked this song never had no one to hold

[kingstram2002]

There will never be songs like this again the country sound is gone it is all about the money making and not about the message anymore.

[sb2244]

Dam crying shame the direction country music has taken these days. This my friend is true classic country but you will not hear it on the radio nor will you hear Waylon George, Merle or Wille. You can however listen to "country stars" likeTaylor Swift...Kieth Urban...Rascal Flats! LIke I said dam crying shame!

[steelermule]

@sb2244 i agree 100% Another crying shame is i cant find ETC album BLUE PEARL on cd nor song Too much noise aka truckers waltz on youtube. This is one of the best albums ever, every song is great,i got it on turntable right now.

[hiloli32]

@sb2244

not sure what station you listen to or where you live but where I live in Arkansas we have radio stations that this is all they play is the good old country.

[msblue44]

@sb2244 I agree..I am from the old school...my dad didnt like the new ones either....

[Tat2dcntryboy]

@sb2244 Not sure where your from BUT here in South Kakalaki we DO! have a station that keeps it real on a daily basis. Sadly Rascal Fags and Taylor Gimp do pay the bills for radio stations. BUt find comfort in the fact that just because you cant hear it dont mean country aint still country. You cant deny what made you no matter diluted it gets. Country is re blooded and no matter what you mix it with in the end you still got COUNTRY!!!!!!

[W6CSAhamradio]

@sb2244 You forgot this cowboy rap shit too

[southeasternman201]

@sb2244 We still get them on Saturday night on Y-96 out of Dublin Georgia!! There's just so many good CLASSIC country songs which will ALWAYS be listened to by generation after generation long after we're all gone.

[onegrandlife]

@sb2244 --You said it brother.  This is the music I grew up on, listenen' to the radio in the car with my Dad--there are a hundred other forgotten country classics like this one--Sunday in the South--one of the best of all time and I doubt many of today's fans know it exists.

[oDayton]

@sb2244 Down here in Tennessee we are blessed to hear these old songs quite often.

[gill72441]

WOW wonderful job.

[ewokvn]

It's home and I miss home.

[bmontybrian]

@ewokvn I hear ya man, me too I'm a trucker and I miss home alot there is nothing like it... and never will be.

[TapANuPie]

9 ppl must have been the one that was being held.

[antifreeeeze]

I searched this guy because he was the second artist to come up when I typed Earl. WOLF GANG

[jerry3136]

I lived these words in the 80's, there is no going back.

[Miracle4908]

I am confused as to why we give in to those that love us & yet we end up with someone that we aim to statisfy..I was wrong I held on to someone afraid to tell him he wasnt my fit..I have pulled away from him ..Now the one I turely love tells me he knew I made a mistake & forgives me & yet I am afriad to commit to him...pls dont be hard on me I have a termial illness & dont want to hurt him anymore...if its meant to be it will be..thanks..

[timy3673]

@Miracle4908 Life is cruel is all i can figure out. I think we doubt and second guess ourselves..sometimes thinking the one we really want and need would never love us back so we settle for second best. On the other hand sometimes we make a commitment only to meet someone later in life that really fits...then its too late and too involved..If I had life figured out I'd write a book and be rich,but, I don't..I haven't..and I'm not. I am sincerely sorry you are ill and I hope you find happiness

[lassie999]

@Timy you are a person I feel has never loved and by your words alone I doubt anyone could love the likes of you..........as for you Sanfranciscobay keep smiling love will find you

[timy3673]

@lassie999 O, I have loved. I have loved till it hurt. I have loved till i was nearly crazy. I have loved till i was empty. I have loved till the person i loved came back around. I have stayed... Can any one love me? I have some one who does.

[Rogers01able]

LOVE HIS MUSIC.

[bdscarlett]

My story put to music. 

[joshuabrooks21]

Great song from the 1980's. This is one of the three Earl Thomas Conley songs I can remember hearing, the other two being "Fire And Smoke," and "Brotherly Love (Feat. Keith Whitley)"

[delindakalley]

the grass ain't always greener on the other side. Some of ya will just have to find that out for yourselves-just remember-i told you so.

[sweetandwild80]

One of the best songs ever!

[girlnativeful]

The best country songs are the old one's. :)

[bobalopigus]

yeah hits home and damn dont the best country come from real pain

[classiccntry]

Great! It certainly looks like Earl THomas Connelly and Keith Whitley can share everything musical. Got the same looks, the same features, and the awesome vocal features which are perfect. Cm'on people! Do you 6 people who show dislike actually believe what you are thinking? He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones is great too!

[terrysmithful]

the man i love is married to someone else he tries to love her but loves me more

[slavica5d]

i love this beautiful song

[billntacoma]

[MrKeelan10]

[TheKraitman]

[ddak32]

Reminds me of my girl in the 80"s Good old days!

[ryanhoffcicle]

ya this fits

[tiredironrepair]

This song makes me cry :.(

[jd450lh]

Been there, done that!

God Bless,

Jeff

[kajuncowgirl]

when I gave you my heart? I gave you my whole heart, and I never really got it back.. so now.. I'll find the one that I can live with and be happy during the day, wishing you would return your heart where it belongs

[rzimmerm70]

went through this predicament myself. that second verse really said it all

[MrHalfastar]

SUPERSTAR, This says it all. Dont give up on me.

[kimismail1]

thanks for posting this. listened to him in the 80s and now u cant find good stuff like this anywhere but here
