Rose Garden

[JJayFin]

who are the 8 idiots who "disliked" this video?

[delidude1999]

they both do this song excellently--and i think that Lynn approves or she would not have been there with her

[DaisyMcLee]

I love Martina. she sings better.

[Mattea68]

A timless classic that sounds even better

[JJayFin]

Kudos to Martina for paying respect to one of the main ladies (Lynn Anderson) who helped pave the way for her to be singing on more shows other than the Grand Ole Opry. Lynn Anderson was the first female country singer to headline and sellout Mad. Sq. Gdn. in 1974 and, throughout the '70s, was on a lot of "Hollywood" shows that you didn't normally see country stars booked on. Lynn's still got it, as is evident in this video. Thanks for sharing.

[quieterrps]

I think that Martina was a little reserve in her singing on this tune out of respect until Lynn started to improvise a bit around about 2:06 . Great song not done harm by being dusted off this way. Nice!

[Oniqua82]

Martina does not have the right voice for this song. It is right is too thin for it. But a great song!!!

[Mattea68]

@Oniqua82 i cant agree with your comment, I think Martina does well with this song

[peteykkk]

2 superstars! Lynn is especially amazing! Martina is prettier!

[flythatbyme]

I don't thing the audience fully comprehended what they just heard....If artist were bible characters....It would be like having EVE & MARY on stage at the same time!

[saddletramp69]

@flythatbyme  lol yeah that would be true....

[cmlbob]

Too bad some of the other "modern" country singers don't realize the importance of helping remember the older artists and their songs. Much respect to Martina...........and many flowers for the great Lynn Anderson!!! Great video! Really enjoyed it!

[russdowns]

Man, this is amazing, THIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC! Thanks for posting this.

[Ingi0803]

Amazing ..

[baritonebynight]

I'm glad that Lynn Anderson is still singing

[richardcwood]

I would to see Country Music return, I never liked the new so called Country.

[Sam7svu]

Everytime I hear Martina sing these old tunes it just amazes me how much her voice fits them! I'm hoping for a Timeless 2! :)

[careullyyyy]

martina wow beautiful women

[dennello]

Lynn looks as great as she did back in 1971!

[Ianwoodcraftsman]

Great Duet!!!

[divadevil67]

This a blast from my past! Was raised on country....now into black metal but still revisit my country roots

[meredithchandler73]

I don't know much about country music. I found Martina's cover of this song and really loved it. I love the original as well. I don't really think one is SO much better than the other - they are so similar (the instrumentation, arrangement, song-styling). For me - it boils down to the voice and while I like both voices, I feel that Lynn's is a little brighter and goes with the song just a little bit better. But I could listen to either version anytime. It always puts a smile on my face!

[famous9n9the9future]

This was only a few months after Martina had her third daughter, Ava. If anyone has any Martina ?s, ask me!!

[boomboominspace]

thanks, this is great!!!!!!

[SCRWOOD]

SUPER THANXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[suspectdevice7]

Wow!!! This really made me smile. Loved it. Thanx for posting.

[drsewell]

Sorry but it seems like Lynn had to work not to overpower Martina.

[divadevil67]

Lynn is way better........

[LeniSofie]

Perfect!

[adelgado75]

What years was this?

[clapolla]

2005 or 2006 ... 'Rose Garden' (by Lynn Anderson) was the biggest selling album by a female country artist from 1970-1997, until Shania Twain broke her long-standing "record"

[lynnandersonfan]

October 22, 2005. I was there! They are amazing on this great song!

[mrguinea101]

Aww! Your so lucky you got to be there!

[lynnandersonfan]

@adelgado75 Oct. 22, 2005. I was privileged to be there!!!!

[locobuick]

The Scottish psychiatrist Dr. Charles Follen Mckim Maloney often listened to the Lynn Anderson version of this song in his flat in Edinburgh after a long day with patients.

[drake88man]

Lynn the first lady of country music!!!

[countryboy0936]

actually the first lady of country music is Tammy Wynette however lynn anderson is very talented

[Clubber2007]

one of the best songs ever

[Clubber2007]

Wow, both my favourite singrs

[lkrdlove]

Madame McBride, Quelle chance vous avez eue de pouvoir partager cette si magnifique avec Mme. Anderson. J'espère à mon tour, pouvoir le faire un jour...et peut-être que Mme. Anderson se joindra à moi... Merci xx

[ingsta2]

They are both remarkble singer,and the greatest country music in all time!!

[ShockDoc]

Jeez- This is turning out to be one of my favorite videos. I come back to it several times a week.Pure spontaneous magic. Lynn Anderson is so charismatic...

[ingsta2]

very good song!!I think one of the best country music at old time!!

[ShockDoc]

Lynn sings it in Martina's key, D, which is higher (Lynn's is C), so Lynn deserves double credit.

[GuineaPigLover23]

Martina Mcbride Rox My Sox!

[meldess]

wow..............

[Cameragirl803]

great post! 5*****Jane

[DeutschlandElvis]

They don´t play it on the American country stations ? well come to Mexiko and you still can hear it, But Be carful, live here is "another world" so I don´t promise you a "ROSE GARDEN"!!!

[wesbeebub]

Beautiful, God bless both of them. Beautiful Lynn forever.

[mthivier]

I always thought Martina had one of the most powerful voices (and she does), but wow, Lynn Anderson comes out and belts this with all the sheer force of a runaway eighteen-wheeler. That's impressive, epeciall since she was in her late 50s in this clip. What a voice! It's criminal that modern country radio doesn't play her these days (or Dolly or Loretta, for that matter).

[Sam7svu]

I know it's sad Country radio doesn't play much of anything other than Carrie, Taylor, and other younger singers. Martina doesn't get played too often either which is a shame.

Beautiful performance by two beautiful women!

[ohmissladymam]

Wow. Lynn puts more feeling into this as an older much wiser woman would AND She is still a very beautiful lady. Great to see her again as I haven't in forever. I think Lynn should do another recording with the feeling she showed here. Puts Life into it. I'd buy it. Thumbs up

[muzikmafia27]

Oh my gosh I love this song! They sing it so good.

[HHS76]

A great cover of another Joe South gem... Joe wrote so many great songs for others & himself... "Games People Play" "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" "Don't it Make You Want to Go Home" "Hush" "Down in the Boondocks" "Clock Up On The Wall" "These are Not My People" - he also played guitar on Aretha Franklin's "Chain of fools"- Simon & Garfunkle's "Mrs Robinson"... Joe is an amazing talent - His birthday is Feb 28th - drop him a note! joesouth(dot)com

[jesusfreak5579]

i love this song martina rocks and so does lynn anderson

[csivegasfreak]

love martina to death!!!!!!!!!!!!

[manslover]

this song is sp fantastic

[gaying]

you right!!both singers are my favorite..they have a golden voice..they really sing a song deeply within their heart...awesome voice!!!

[chknltl]

That brought tears to these eyes...how precious, two wonderful voices, neither doing the song justice but that's not really the point here. 5 stars from me

[watchvideo1attime]

I love this duet...!!!

[natsuyo]

awesome!

[krazyashlee101]

i like when Lynn only sings it

[bugsy200730]

No one will ever sing it like Lynn Anderson!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bugsy200730]

Love it!!!

[AccordionManiac]

both heavenly voices..thanks for the video!

[parkplaceIN]

Lynn's version of Rose Garden wasn't the original. It was recorded numerous times by male singers but didn't become a megahit till Miss Lynn belted it out! If you really listen you'll see that the song was written to be sung by a man. "promise you things like big diamond rings" but Lynn truly made it her own.

[StoogeWatcher]

Yes. Joe South was the songwriter.

[parkplaceIN]

Lynns not a southerner. She was born in South Dakota and raised in California. Personally I think her greatest achievment is her work with handicapped children. She has tirelessly devoted her time and money to many programs that teach handicapped children how to ride horses. That will be her true legacy.

[lynnandersonfan]

@parkplaceIN Actually, Lynn was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and when she was a little girl, her family moved to California. Thanks so much for pointing out her work with handicapped children!!!! Lynn often quotes her late grandmother Grace Anderson: "The best thing for the inside of a child is the outside of a horse!"

[6969wrath]

Country stars didn't used to have silky smooth voices like they must now...this is a really cool duet because it brings two generations together...works well. Lynn seems like she could be a member of anyones family...so real and lovely, and seems like she would be the nicest person you ever met...just as southerners were known for...Martina is younger, hotter, and has a smoother voice...it's two generations. luv it

[lynyrdfan]

I Love Lynn Anderson

She Sings Beautifully.

[4N3Y]

wow shes really attractive.

[deltaguy28]

I dont get the opry here

[deltaguy28]

I don't think they lost their voices it's that they dont use it as much now. Still a great voice.

[fltwoodmacrox81]

you haven't listened to the Opry lately. Greats like Loretta, Jan Howard, Jean Shepard...their voices aren't as strong anymore. It comes with age, not according to how much u use it. They use theirs every Saturday nite.

[fltwoodmacrox81]

Also, whats great about Lynn is that so many older artists have lost their voices to some degree. Lynn, like Connie Smith, still has an incredibly strong voice.

[fltwoodmacrox81]

The cool thing about her new clasics album is that before she was even an Opry member, each time she used to play the Opry she'd do two songs: one of hers and a classic in tribute to an artist of the past/former Opry member. What a great woman to remember her heritage.

[teerome1]

I remeber this song when I was a kid.Martina really does a great job on the updated version! Great performance here by these 2!

[lynnandersonfan]

I was at the Opry the night they were on together, and seeing this in person was FANTASTIC!!!! Lynn and Martina - two fantastic singers and entertainers who both have a lot of respect for each other and others in their profession! Lynn's a sweetie, too, very kind and caring (Martina also has that reputation).

Somebody mentioned Ray Price - he appeared on this segment of the Opry with Martina that night, too. I'm glad to see Martina salute so many country greats on her Timeless album.

[TayGlo]

I love Lynn. Remember her from the Lawrence Welk days. She was very smart to record this great Joe South song.

[clapolla]

Nice to see Martina honoring the lady who paved the way for singers like her, Shania and Faith Hill. Lynn was, as someone said earlier, the original country to pop DIVA!

[Lerum15]

Dont like ths version...

Lynn is better!

[TShania]

Holky jste úžasný:-)

[porscha69]

Great version !

[peteykkk]

2 superstars! Lynn is so fantastic and Martina is also fabulous!

[ikkinyarb]

love this song, and there version together is awesome.

[masstax]

I concur, Lynn has it all over Martina on this song.

[JeffOH63]

Martina put Lynn on her game and raised the bar. Great duet!

[bp51192]

Its really great that the original singer of this song and the new singer of this song collaborated at the Opry.

[austinclingerman1]

Lynn is still really good!

[shirlgirlwhirl]

Love that Lynn is having so much fun singing it after all these years.

[austinclingerman1]

Oh yes I do agree with u so much. she looked so happy and she is still so good.

[Englishteacher1989]

Can you post the other ones. I missed the timeless opry and I know you have others on here but there are a few more. PLEASE POST IF YOU HAVE

[eplafan]

To Englishteacher ... the only two legends Martina had on her timeless special were Ray Price and Lynn Anderson.

[shfletcher]

I prefer Lynn to Martina

[austinclingerman1]

they r both pretty good. can't beat the classics but she was really good. this is about the only song that I can deal with them remaking it

[tocotodo]

It don't get no better.
