  • Lovely Ladies ... Beautiful Song! Thanks

  • Just the best none to compare with this..

  • What a talented singer!!!

  • Martina is Great on this song but no one can ever match Connie on this song. It will always be Connie's Song.

  • @bmxshowtime Connie's only #1 song, which she's milked to death ... geez.

  • @JJayFin Thats 1 more than you've had

  • God Was In A "Good Mood" when He Created "Connie"

  • Dnload the audio from this vid at soundnabber doht cohm.

  • Truly good!!

  • FYI: At 85 years, THE GRAND OLE OPRY is the longest continuously running program ON THE PLANET.

  • Hey, I love this stuff! Used to hear Connie on AM radio, all there was then, and fell in love with her voice way back then. Otherwise I could not believe this lady is about 20 years older than I am. And Martina, well there isn't a finer voice in modern music and she isn't hard to look at either. While she has her own style and success she clearly has great r

  • Hey, I love this stuff! Used to hear Connie on AM radio, all there was then, and fell in love with her voice way back then. Otherwise I could not believe this lady is about 20 years older than I am. And Martina, well there isn't a finer voice in modern music and she isn't hard to look at either. While she has her own style and success she clearly has great respect for tradition. Bringing these two together on the Opry Stage is a REAL TREAT!

  • Awesome!

  • Oh My......WOW I'm blown away!!!

  • OMG..........I've Died and Gone To Heaven!

  • They are both amazing. In both talent and personality.

  • Connie Smith still sounding great. And for those of you that haven't heard 'Timeless' yet, check it out. One of the few major "country" record label albums that actually is country music.

  • Wonderful. Connie is outstanding.

  • Martina McBride couldn't shine Connie Smith's shoes!

  • I know connie, who the heck is martina?

  • Martina is great on this song but no-one will ever match connie on it. It will always be connie's song.

  • so many comments on here seem to sense bad feelings between Connie and Martina. I dont see it. Connie is a first class act and a devout Christian. also feel Martina is humbled to sharethe stage with a legend singing her song. Maybe Im wrong but I see nothing more then a fun timeon stage here.

  • @stashnut73

    I agree - it looks like Martina is paying homage to one of her idols - I see nothing but respect and talent here .

    Believe it or not , I had never known Connie Smith until today and I am old :) My mother always listened to Patsy , Timi Yuro Tammy , etc and that is the " older music" for females that I knew best. What an amazing voice she has - rivals Tammy and Patsy - will be on the lookout for more - better late than never !

  • How could she be so stupid or arrogant to think she she could compare to Connie Smith.?

  • She is so arrogant or stupid to think she could sing next to Connie Smith and not seem so foolish. What was she thinking?

  • @gharms8 Martina is a great singer and she does about as close to country music as any female singing today. It's just hard to sing a song that someone else has made a huge hit and satisfy everyone. I agree that Connie Smith is probably one of the best female country singers that I have ever heard and I have heard a bunch in my 40 years here in this town. They duet well together also...

  • @coleyman1 I don't think McBride is at all close to good country such as Connie Smith, Ray Price and etc. back in the 50's, 60's, and perhaps 70's. Connie Smith could sing the crappy McBride songs and make them much more enjoyable.

  • @gharms8 Oh, I agree 100%!! Connie Smith is by far a better country singer than McBride and could do just about any song that is popular today better than the orginal artist. The problem is 40 years! I love Connie, but times have changed and for some reason you have to be 20 something and hot looking before they will put you on the disc. I love to hear Martina sing, but I would pass up a McBride concert to hear Connie sing one song on a street corner somewhere. Martina is good but Connie-WOW!!

  • Both, Super Stars In Their Own Right!!

    Carry On Gurls********

  • Connie in that second verse basically showed Martina no one can sing her song like she can. Connie is a very nice lady, Martina on the other hand not so nice. Martina knows shes a star and she will make it plain to you, she expects you to know she is a star as well. It's a bad thing when a talent you have that you can share with others gives you the big head.

  • DAMM THAT CONNIE SMITH SOUNDS AS GOOD AS SHE LOOKS.. I THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO PUT AWAY MARTINA THE SAME WAY THE PARKERS ARE GOING TO PUT AWAY THE STEELERS TOMORROW IN THE SUPERBOWL..GO GREENBAY KICK THOSE STEELERS ASSES...LETS SHOW THE AFL HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL JUST LIKE YOU SHOWED THEM IN THE FIRST TWO SUPERBOWLS...MAKE VINCE SMILE AGAIN...

  • Semper Fi , Connie .

  • Thank-you for this fine video. Connie Smith is a vocal legend and what a partner to sing with her, Martina.

  • What a country Classic

  • Now that is living proof that Connie has the stuff that the younger artist just wish they had. Nashville is living proof that 50% of all the producers and Publishers are in the lower 50% of their profession!!

  • She's still got it, no doubt about that !!

  • Congratulations to Connie and husband Marty for their "Grammy" 2011) nomination!

  • Wonderful - two real country ladies - we can be proud of them !

  • Comment removed

  • 2 superstars!

  • I was there that night. As well as Connie and Martina we also had Wynonna. Awesome!

  • I'm so glad we are able to share music like this one .. Once A Day & Every Day :-)

  • Two Beauties! 

  • Great song. Great singers. Great performance. I just think it would have been nice to hear more of Connie and Martina singing in harmony.

    We definitely do hear a fair amount of country-pop and country-rock on the Opry nowadays, but that's because the Opry has always endeavored to showcase a variety of different styles of country music, so as to accomodate different tastes of different generations of country fans. For the most part, the Opry is still dominated by traditional country.

  • @bigbenkentucky. I agree. It's hardly a duet with each lady singing following the other and only a short phrase at the end when they sung together. But I love both of them!!

  • magnificent, makes the genre of country music that more special. thank you petykkk for sharing this song Martina iI recognize all too well,onme of my favorite country ladies. But I can tell Connie is and has been in the music business for some time and one of the building blocks of the genre; and thank you oo ALLEN0955 for posting!!!

  • MARTINA, Your sooooo beautiful!

  • Martina tweeted this

  • One thing that I love, being a fan of Martina, is her respect for those who came before her. She and Connie do a great job here, and both look like they were having a lot of fun, which is all that matters!

  • Its nice that a newer County Music Star would respect this country standard. Two thumbs up for Martina McBride. Also, what a great job singing.

  • Connie can blow the roof off still!! Great as ever....

  • awesome!!

  • I really do like Connie and Martina as a duo here. This classic, originally by Connie, has stood the test of time and she sounds as good today as she did when she recorded it. Great song writing. . Martina is a terrific singer in her own right. Seeing them both on The Opry is a real treat. We met Connie at the Opry - in the old Ryman Auditorium - and she was so sweet, pretty and friendly. She let everyone take a picture with her. - Thank you for posting - Paula (PaulinaRena)

  • This is the respect that country music has. Connie is a legend. Therefore the fantastic Ms McBride gave way to Ms Smith for the song tag. No other form of music has the respect that country does. No form of music has the color cross over as country. The music is first. But I have to disagree with the CMA. Darius Rucker?????????? Get the f...k real. This is a no talent, all sounds the same, no regard for no one but him, asshole. Shame on the CMA. Politics should play no role. Shame.

  • allen0955, you sure posted a WINNER with these two doing this song together

  • Connie still has the pipes and Martina is very good too. Bravo for both of them.

  • Martina has done many great recordings, and it is admirable to share the stage with the Best.

    Connie has been my # 1 singer for 40 years and she cant be beat on her "own songs"

  • Couldn't agree and she has been my favorite for years now myself...she beats all competitors hands down...and what a truley good person she is...I am way glad I'll get to meet her in Heaven, and thank the Lord that she knows Him!

  • Connie is the standard. Martina is good in her own right, but.... How does anyone match over 40 years of consistent hit after hit, and timeless beauty?

  • Sorry, there is no comparison between these two voices. Connie Smith has a depth and soul the other hasn't found yet. It cannot be duplicated here.

  • I'm sorry too that your closed mind doesn't allow you to see what a talented artist Martina is. She is one of the few of today's singers that actually respect, honor and pay tributes to the greats like Connie, Loretta and Tammy.

  • shucks we need video editors in our hobby to stretch back teh screen picture after the credits parts ruin it..

  • this video is just amazing Connie can still sing so great

  • Just WOW, just shows that Connie Smith has a natural country voice, she still has the same great stylish powerful voice she had many years ago.

    This is a great video , Martina is fantastic to.

  • mike ness covered it better

  • This is the apex of country music it can't get any better. The world is so lucky to have this on tape. Please put a copy in a time capsule not to be open for a thousand years, and let the people who open it eat their hearts out. Maybe then they will start singing real country again.

  • Connie Smith still sounds as wonderful as she started out.

    Country singers never fade, the stay just

    like their music, evergreen.

  • Do you think Carrie Underwood even knows who Connie Smith is? Me neither.

    This is an awesome recording of two fantastic artists. Thank you so much for putting it up.

  • Why are you attacking Carrie? I'm sure she knows who she is, and Carrie is a great artist. Just because she's contemporary, doesn't mean she isn't a good country artist. She has a phenomenal voice. If you don't like her more contemporary songs, go listen to Carrie sing "How Great Thou Art". I like Connie Smith, but Carrie's version is so much better.

  • I hate to disagree, but Connie sings How Great Thou Art so much better. I get goose bumps every time she sings it at one of her concerts. None of Carrie's songs has ever done that for me. Not that Carrie isn't a good singer.

  • You should listen to Martina's version of How Great Thou Art and you might be pleasantly surprised.

  • Carrie's karoke singing shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Connie Smith or Martina Mcbride. She is a wanna be that won a karoke contest with huge record company backing - she is far from being a true artist.

  • Wow, thats an awesome version. And some male back up singers, just the version I was looking for. That song can be identified with by both women and men, I really love it. Connie's voice really held up well, thats amazing! Thanks a lot for posting!

  • oh yeah these are the best shows the Opry puts on with this talent ...should be more similar with the people who really carried country music when things were tough during the Beatles invasion

  • A classic country song. I love Connie Smith's music, but I don't get the criticism of Martina I've seen in some of these posts. Martina sings wonderfully too, she isn't Connie Smith...she's Martina and she is one of the few country performers today who still sound like country should.

  • The thing that I respect most about Martina is her devout respect and reverence toward her predecessors in the biz. She has been very vocal about this during interviews. This performance only serves to reinforce and enhance that statement....classy performance all the way.

    PRR

  • Thanks real COUNTRY..

  • two superstars. fabulous!!!

  • Martina is hands down probably the best female voice in today's county music, and she cannot hold a candle to Connie...Connie just blows her away, and that is no disrespect to Martina

  • Connie Smith is a legend!!!

    I have many of her LPs & just sbsolutely love her voice!!! This is one of my favorite songs, and I play it very often!!!

    Martina is also so wondeful & has a style all her own!!!

    I love them both!!!

  • Martina did this song Justice just like all the other songs she did! She truly has one of the best voices ever and wow is she soo hott! Love this song btw

  • Connie is the greatest female country singer - EVER!

  • Fantastic!

    This is what Country is all about.

  • Thank God for such pure Country and thank God for the voices of Connie and Martina!

  • Surely, God has blessed Connie with lasting beauty and lasting talent. Martina did a fine job on this song too. Too bad there isn't more entertainment like this on the Opry. I probably wouldn't see it though, even if they had now. I just don't watch it anymore since metal rock has taken over the Opry stage,and untalented, so called stars are on every week.I wish these so called country stars would get their own stage, and leave the Opry stage to people who really have talent, like Connie Smith.

  • I agree 100%. Another thing you don't see much is respect from the younger artist toward the more experienced artists. You can really see how Martina respects Connie and all the artists that came before her. Beautiful performance. I hope the opry will get over their Carrie fad and we'll see more of this type of show!!

  • @ClassicsOnTheNet

    Well Said - Thank You.

  • Martina was right...she couldn't do it like Connie. Then again...WHO COULD.

  • What an incredible thrill this must have been for Martina. I'd have had goosebumps all over!

  • Connie doesn't have to do much...she is an absolutely wonderful performer without any movement!!! She's awesome!

  • Fantastic duet by two of the greatest. Thanks for sharing this!

  • Great video two of the Best Connie and Matina singing together. Thanks for sharing this with us.

  • This is so great, thanks so much for posting it.

  • This is what should be on the Grand Ole Opry's YouTube Channel, oprylive and not Jessica Simpson.I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw her on their site but I do know that I no longer have any respect for GAC and that goes for the CMA as well,with their recent choices for induction into the Hall Of Fame.How can they put in Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris and yet year after year ignore Connie,Dottie West,Jean Shepard and so many more.They should all be ashamed of themselves.

  • Once again you took the word's right out of my mouth and said what I've been wanting to say for a very long time. Absolutely and Postively you have a way with word's.

  • Actually The Grand Ole Opry's youtube channel could use a little less Carrie and a little more Martina, Connie, Faith, Reba and all the other great women of country music.

  • @pottsking  I couldn't agree more!!!!!!

  • love ya connie smith there is no other voice or angels soul like yours - i need to come back to nashville and the gaylord where i did see you ane met you at the opry -
