Emmylou Harris, Dolly & Linda - To Know Him Is To Love Him

[NANDIKHANNA]

Simply marvelous,though the rhythm is slower than the version recorded for Warner Bros Records in 1987, yet a better musical arrangement compensates.

[daymryt]

whose the one that looks like a dyke or a man/ lol.

[goatloochie]

@daymryt ignorant dipshit

[ryderwayland]

that giutarist with long hair looks like the guitar player from Black Sabbath & Dio. Is he?

[LancetTrooper]

Three Queens...

[FARANDOLA35]

I try to do it, I really try to

[motney555]

There's too much fire in Emmylou's character to comply with these lyrics

[estelle715]

the back-up musicians are also stars of this show!Magnificent!

[dougalduck13]

I believe it is David Lindley on electric gutar.

[8rosal]

Beautiful!!!! Stunning voices! I love all 3 :) The best part is seeing David Lindley, my favorite everything, playing that beautiful lead on that cool, red, guitar. He is a genius. What a treat!!

[ADonovan43]

MY TROUBLE IS THEY JUST WON'T TAKE THE TIME TO KNOW ME. Take care ADonovan43

[bensimte]

Melodies and sweet to my ears

[amaroq69]

Somone looks like Jeff Foxworthy...

[Betty0954]

....just to see him smile makes my life worthwhile....

[Mrphatbastard1]

Probably the most talent ever gathered in one spot!

[meinLiebsterFeind]

phil spector wrote this song about his dead father

[acidyin1989]

That's David Lindley on guitar!!!. He was with Jackson Browne for a while!!!



[troll1335]

i remember this on the tonight show. they did almost the whole show. the guy who followed them, don't remember who it was, came out and johnny apologized because there was no time left. he said, no, it's ok. i was watching in the green room and was thinking "i hope they bump whoever is next so they can sing more"

[tickyreal]

LUF THE SONG.....LUF THE ALBUM..LUF THESE ADORABLE GIRL-SINGERS..

YOU MADE MY DAY..

ERIK TIELMAN, FLORIDADADAAA

[heavymetalover123]

What instrument is that in the back, the one with the sliding thing and looks like a guitar?

[pro3tlb]

@heavymetalover123 That is an acoustic Hawaiian Steel Guitar. 

[mosesmcmillian]

@heavymetalover123 a dobro ( hawaian steel guitar)

[jjmuni]

@heavymetalover123 The guitar looks actually like a weissenborn. they are made from sound wood with a hollow neck. There is a few companys still making them.

[etransform]

To know them is to love them. The most beautiful angels here on earth. We are blessed to enjoy their music - thanks for the posting

[2691mary]

love this song

[FLE22P]

WONDERFUL!!!!!

[rolandrog]

I prefer The Beatles version. lol

[Chuckv57]

Love their voices all together. So beautiful

[tanisb]

Is that Russ Kunkel on percussion?

[laarbe]

Three beautiful and wonderful voices blended together in perfect harmony. This is such a treat from Three Living Legends.

[cunnidvd]

wow lots of talent on that stage!

[krazikiwi01]

This is a great combination of three great singers together and a band to match. Thank you for posting

[MrSeremban75]

All that and Mark O'Connor on mandolin! GREAT

[pipelineron]

This is just beautiful

[Georgewos]

The times they are a changing. Imagine Carrie Underwood. Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert singing this song dressed in the 2011 styles..

[OL8Twho]

David Lindley has some cool guitars.

[barrybamford64]

@OL8Twho 

[naturestorms]

good song,good ladies

[AlainBradette]

Emmylou Beauty in her soul. dolly and linda beaty as well, and when they performed this song it was gorgeous melodically and in great harmony. What I wanna know is who is the guitarist playing the red electric guitar? he does a nice solo at the end!

[niallwhite1969]

@AlainBradette that's David Lindley. He was Jackson Browne's gutiartist for many years. Several other well known country and rock musicians in this band

[nightman1231]

some things just cant be betterd

[NANDIKHANNA]

can not say who is better of the TRIO.GREAT SONG.

[Solsticesun1]

amy who?

[saintbenjie]

love the three of you. nice

[O9ALa]

fantastyczne anielskie miękkie głosy:)Miło się słucha tych nutek:)

[jaigros3]

Amyyyyy!!!!!

They are completely overshadowed by your side. Is AMAZIIIIIIIING!!!

These 3 giants of the music appears without a soul. WOOOOOWWWW

You are a fallen angel and you can to rise from the ashes

Beyond the music and songs, you could make a great mission in this convulsed world.

COME BACK!

[lorenzoweyler]

I love Emmylou Harris. I am only 8 years old. I wish I could marry her.

[mmglavina]

If you're not crying now,you're dead

[wag0nette]

Looks like Herb Pederson is in there, too!

[DaveWollenberg]

Studio version hit #1 in Billboard, 5-16-87. God bless ya, girls!

[etransform]

A beautiful song sung by three beautiful melodious angels! God, it's good to be alive to enjoy such a pleasure. Thanks for posting this on youtube

[JohnE2Bad]

Wow - that is so beautiful...

[gitsegukladude]

Still love this classic

[c130mover]

wow takes your breathe away

[derwillider]

who plays the "Weissenborn"?

David Lindley accompanies on guitar, too.

[9walrus9]

Oh, that they would have done it on one microphone, like John, Paul and George live on Yes It Is. This is not a 3 solo song, but a great harmony song. No one shares a mic anymore. Except Bruce, Paul and Neil.

[arcel41]

awesome....

[c130mover]

fantastic



[anthonydansullivan]

The three best female singers in da world and this from a Brit, lol Sexay :D

[Sugarbehr1967]

One of my favorite versions of this song..what a beautiful blending of voices..thank you for posting..

[YoungSage04]

Golly! I don't know what they were thinkin'... Linda looks like Toad from Mario Bros. and Emmylou looks like an anorexic Richard Marx....and the makeup......it's a shame cause they're both so pretty....I won't comment on Dolly

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

@YoungSage04 Hahahahahaha i know what u mean cos they are so pretty and could have look better lol but u know, we all have those days we look bk and asked? what we we thinking ha

[nc19638845]

the best female trio you'd ever hear singing together!! Iwish they'd record another album together! 

[YoungSage04]

@nc19638845 There was a second Trio album...it's got all three's kiddie picks on the cover.

[john9944]

Mark O'Connor on mandolin and David Lindley on guitar. What a treat. I guess everyone wants to play with them, These girls have a future.

[Melissa4U1987]

I love this song :)

[Hopkins1148]

Awsome! Thanks for posting.

[hideyho67]

That slide guitar is out of sight.I wish i could hear more of his playing.

[kitty1066]

I love him, I know him inside out and upside down...He is my world my life my everything..... I Love You!!!

[zaaritha]

Great version!

[thiaanthony]

The very best version I can find!

[radiosandclocks]

the voices speak for themselves, but Emmy's hair needs to be mentioned by me! All I can say is "Roadhouse" (the movie)

[Anamorphosis]

did this group ever record this song in the studio or put it on record??

[atlbobby]

@Anamorphosis Yes, this was on the first "Trio" album, released in 1987.

[landrykkb]

Yes,they recorded their first Trio album in 1986 and their second in 1999.Even before their first album,they had recorded and performed together on numerous occasions.

[barbj7121]

i fell in love with this version when i first heard it?? i love the older version too? but they did a good job with this song

[atseasanjuan]

Very good, It gets better though, the Country Christmas, And even better is these women and a few more doing all the Beach Boy songs, one of the best CDs I have ever heard.. Find it, im going to look now...

[lorenzoweyler]

Emmylou Harris, will you marry me?

[mannixisle]

Dolly has a very sweet quality to her voice.

[fordude60]

I remember when they did this. They did an excellent job with it.

[zaaritha]

Great version!

[mrblindfreddy9999]

kitty wells emmylou loretta sorry daylight to the rest

[nektlag]

Phil Spector wrote this when he was 17. Fact.

[doublefantasy6999]

@nektlag and recorded with Teddy Bears it went to number 1 in 1958.. pretty old song :) and I´m not sure ho would like this version :D

[ELCANO62]

I LIKE THIS SONG SO MUCH

[tangogirl100]

@1heavygold - I agree with you, they are all behind Emmylou, she is in a class all by herself..

[Avillageidiot59]

I vaguely remember this show and the amazing harmonies between these women. Everyone was talking about it at the time.

Did they ever record an album together?

[MrDougLong]

Yes, the great "Trio" (1990) album, plus a sequel, "Trio II" (1999).

[mouthisi]

Was that Ziggy on the right

[piaffreak1]

3 stunning voices, what a delight to hear them together.

[Acynderela]

so beautiful

[Aphidboy]

Wow. Great job by three great ladies.

What it is to fall in love . . .  Oh, yeah.

[lalaggg]

make me cry ;)

[strat8383]

Best again Emmylou ... Dolly and Linda

Read this recently: proof that God loves us that that we have music...Beautiful!

[Tottibytes]

gwgillwilkinson. The person who discovered that these 3 voices gel together like this is a GENIUS! Love the two albums Trio 1 and Trio 2 which they made together. Magic.Thanks for posting this video.

[radiosandclocks]

@strat8383 very true! And I credit Santa as well!

[mmasny]

@strat8383 Proof that God doesn't love us that that we have wars. Holy cow. Two proofs disproving each other.

Leave God alone and listen to the music.

[Marci3261957]

AWESOME!

[robertchallen]

must have been a hard song for Emmylou with Graham Parker being dead.

[1heavygold]

Not surprising Emmylou acknowledged the band before taking a bow.

There's Emmylou, then a whole bunch behind this angel.

[Raylor1974]

@1heavygold : thats a great insult to 2 other queen of country friend.

im a huge admirer of emmylou harris her ballads and voice but dolly and linda are standing right besides her in voice capability

there's emmylou surrounded by two more legends supported by a insanely capable band

[robinwatauga]

Killer! from Dolly's show? What a band! Lee Sklar & Russ Kunkel (from all those 70's JT records!) Mr. Dave's signature lead guitar sound, Mark O'Connor & Herb Pederson. Couldn't place Weissenborn player at the right or guitar player at far left. Thanks for this slice of musical heaven!

[etransform]

Such a beautiful song sung by the most beautiful country music ladies. Such close harmony! It's great to be alive to enjoy such a treat. Thanks.

[azulespapi1]

tree angel's

[newporter42]

Is that an old Weisenborn at 2:07 ?

Great sound.

The whole clip is great !!

[BlShkspr]

Look up The Teddy Bears singing their original version of this song. And then take a guess who the guitar player is.

OY!! (He also wrote this)

[Grifiki]

The Teadybears sung this song, when I first heard it in January 1959..

[alisialtd]

peters332/ Thanks.../Tack /Grasias/

[purbrookian]

Just superb. All three ladies sing beautifully...but, oh, Linda......!

[kesmit100]

Emmylou has an angelic voice..her highs are perfect

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

I fully agree.

[TunesNorth]

Absolutely beautiful, I love this song, and three legends of country music. What a bonus.

Thank you for the video

[onebaud]

To hear them is to love them!

[lasdancing]

Espectacular! =)

[galafeafufu]

lovely, lovely, lovely Great

[billythedoggie]

three aces in country music singing, looks, and over all class..

[sparxss]

Really excellent..... love all three of them!!

[VealParmigiana]

Excellent trio. I like Dolly the best of the three. My favorite country singer.

[derwillider]

Why didn´t they try the "Mercury Blues"?

The Weissenberger sounds good.

[johnnyyogi]

wow

[dulzainero2]

From a folk-singer and musician from the Old Castillia (Spain): I don`t tire hearing these three Big Country-Folk Ladies.

...Since I was seventeen in 1980...

[dancedagain03]

no one can sing like emmy

[DollyParton2000009]

Dolly can!

[sHaBoIaDaNuN]

o and yeah dis is d best version ive heard too..my dad has dis version & listens 2 it now and den

[sHaBoIaDaNuN]

hmm dis was one of mi mums favourite songs...as a kid i didn't like it cause well when ur young u don't really understand a song..as i got older & listened 2 mi mum singing it i totally luvd d song haha...my mum passed away exactly 2 mnths ago 4rm 2dae...now d song is sad lOlz

[coastranger]

CooL

[PCPrabbit]

that's david lindley right behind dolly on guitar!

[timladmf]

love this song ty

[swampfoxgeneral]

Emmylou, if I ever meet you, I'll sweep you off your feet, or maybe I'll just stutter and stammer like a blubbering idiot.

[jennyfurkat]

today I heard this song and it brought tears to my eyes because it reminds me of my nephew Matt because to know him is to love him!!

LOVE YOU MATT!! YOUR AUNTIE JENNY!!

[barrister2u]

I am not a country music fan, but this sure got

my attention.

[shj1401]

These three ladies are the tops. Add Patsy Kline, Alison Krauss and Gillain Welch and you have the creme de la creme. Not bad backing guys as well. See the DVD "Down from the Mountain" for morem of Emmylou and others.

[MrAsset]

this is the best version around

[513dianne]

We do see emmylou, we see an angel.

[bocataz]

The first time I ever cried with this song was ten years back. Now, I can listen to and only remember.

[nuttyfruity]

they do sing great together

[ThiagoAraujoT]

Amy Winehouse does it better [+1]

[hfelknor]

She DID do this very well back when she was straight. Once she burnt her brain with the drugs.......well, that was that. What a waste.

[thealicebarton]

Amy Winehouse does it better

[bruceok]

That's what I thought, the first time I heard Amy. I thought she was great. But she didn't stand the test of time. I can listen to Lindat, Dolly, or Emmylou over and over and over -- and have for the past thirty years, but I found that I've tired of Amy. I don't know why. Listen to the passion in Emmylou's voice, and the passion in Linda's voice, and the loveliness in Dolly's voice and maybe that will help answer. There's a certain fluidity in their voices I don't hear in Amy's.

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

@bruceok i fully agreed

[jen2damax]

@bruceok i think amy sings her own songs better

[jen2damax]

@bruceok i think amy sings her own stuff better, and maybe this is an older woman's song.

[c130mover]

to have 3 legends sing together and a graet back up grop is heaven

[saskatwo]

WHEN i DIE , I want to be where ever these 3 beautiful ladies are gonna be so I can here them sing FOR EVER AND EVER . That is my favorite afterlife wish I think heaven must have this kind of singers and music !! SO I BETTER CHANGE MY WAYS !! UMM????

[Georgewos]

This song brings back so many memeories when I was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. Abig hit for the Teddy Bears.

[DeanLisi]

Linda Makes me cry

[Silvio4300]

It is the very best from thies trio...

[HeartSingerFR]

One of the most beautiful song I never heard!

[iriswigle]

Did anyone notice Alexander Gudovnov in the background?

[jesscathug]

is that JERRY DOUGLES ON DOBRO ?????????

[iriswigle]

Dolly once asked Emmylou Harris on stage in the beige buckskin "What makes you so crusty?"

"Driving a school bus?" "Stop! Or I'll throw you off the bus!" Dolly asked why are you so bossy?" "Well...that goes with driving a school bus too." 80 children, from 4-20 need a driver that can "be in control."

"Next x u do that...I'm gonna tell your ma about those magazines of yours."

[airdoc123]

WOW WHAT A TRIO AND A GREAT SONG

[pbyardh]

This was back when the Tonight Show would allow performers to do more than one number. I think it was called the concert segment. Sorely missed, but I think it was a 90 minute show, then. 10.30 to 1 AM. East coast, anyway.

[phillyhorn]

You mean 11:30 to 1:00

[centex46]

Your comment is obvious, Emmylou Harris can sing harmony with just about anyone and she has for many years.

[lynneshape]

what a heavenly blending of voices

[20322Avenue20]

Such a GREAT album

[Dutchgeert]

Thanks.

[girlitheglen]

Their album "Trio" is awesome. Go get it immediately.

[freshair345]

For God...

[spalof]

who is the girl with the long black hair,seen in the background???

[mainedrummer]

Do you mean the guitar player? That's David Lindley

[alienhuman]

yeah.... I thought that was DL! That whole group looks like a whos who of session men. Can anyone name the line-up? A great crew to say the least.

ps. I love Emmylou... but that solo should have been LR. just an opinion.

[2wheelsturnin]

As mainedrummer pointed out, David Lindley on the red guitar, and it looks like Russ Kunkel on drums.

[farman10122]

love this!

[tumke22]

super

[Gillesscott]

Wonderful song ... all my youth !!! and Emmylou is superb as usually !!! Very great clip.

[orbit15]

emmy is my queen and dolly is my joker. linda should be president.  b

[Gandalv51]

Emmylou, Dolly and Linda - as close to Paradise as it can be!

[54spiritedwill54]

Great song, very well done!

[kdlee1776]

Thanks for video. You have EXCELLENT taste. :) Kris

[thumpereilly]

Beautiful people - every one of them - making beautiful music!

[kroses]

They don't make music like this anymore. This is beyond beautiful! In fact, nothing is beautiful, anymore. Life has become disgusting since Reagan/Bushes & their neocon friends!!! There have been no music, jobs, happiness, LIFE, as it has always been known, except for the wealthy!!! If the people don't wise us soon, the entire earth, and everything on it, will deteriorate into a vast NOTHINGNESS!!!
