[ariadne2956]

The smile of Patty Loveless can melt the snow away

[SUCKMEISTER005]

What nut job gave this a thumbs down???

[pushygalore001]

I loved this time in Country ~ These group of singers were all legends in their own right !!!! This has always been a favorite of mine ! If I am not mistaken this was at a Country Music Award !

[pushygalore001]

Emmylou Harris/ Kathy Mattea/ Trisha Yearwood/ Pam Tillis/ Patty Loveless & Suzy Boggus ~ all great Country singers in their own right !!!!

[RogueKnightReturns12]

Who are the other women backing up Mary on the stage here? I'm curious.

[pushygalore001]

@RogueKnightReturns12 ~ Emmylou Harris/ Kathy Mattea/ Trisha Yearwood/ Pam Tillis/ Patty Loveless & Suzy Bogguss

[sniperking738]

Back before country devolved into a bunch of skimpy dress chicks failing at singing.......this is true music beautiful women and beautiful voices long live the old country!

[jodiefoster11]

[NJtuber88]

Truly an awesome song when country was still country and the women of country were talented as well as truly beautiful.....not the tarts they put in tight jeans now with crap pop/country songs!

[tigerdog1954]

Best country video of 1992 Live from Women Of Country Music show from CBs

I'll never forget watching this live on CBS in 1993

[sderax456]

holy shoulder pads

[wsaer56]

Does CMT have this available on DVD for purchase?

[nwosukz]

[dogslife04]

Absolutely one of the best performances in the history of the world!!!! Thankyou so much for posting it11

[PotomacDog57]

She is such a smart, smart songwriter!

[sdavis171]

This was taken from the CMA awards show from the early 90's, which I saw live and was able to tape the performance at the time. On VHS of course! It's great that this is posted online.

[sidcarp1]

I too have this on VHS recorded off CMT along with some other great stuff.It is fantastic how we can get all this now on YouTube.

[1calvinfunny1]

@sdavis171 I saw it live at the time also. It doesn't get any better that this.There should be 10,000,000 views of this video.Woman watch this videooooooooo.....

[Swordsfor200Alex]

@sdavis171 Sorry to burst your eyewitness bubble there sdavis171....but this was from a Wednesday night CBS TV Special called "The Women of Country". NOT THE CMA's. This was the last performance of the show, hence, why all of the performers came out on stage. Just read the second liner note and it also notes where the performance was taped from.

[BiteMePlz101]

god i love this women i grew up with this music my mum loved her and it brings back memories of her went to see her when i was about 13 god how time fly's ,she's legend x

[Mulepick]

My favorite "I hate men" song.

[FMS1950]

What an ubbelievable back uo group! The who's who of female country at the time!

[Earthdancer46234]

@FMS1950 Totally agree and Mark O'Conner on guitar.

[luvperu1]

@CountrynIrish --Thank you for the share--

I enjoyed it very much...

[nwosukz]

WE MISS YOU MARY!

[PurplesunnMusic]

As a songwriter who has sold a few records in my day, that is not just one of the best songs, but the best live performances of any song I have ever heard. Loved it when it came out and love it more now. Thanks for sharing!

[braveblunder]

Queens! ..... Wish would been there ...

[HermitGenius]

One of the best country songs of the 90's

[cynthia6637]

This is such a true story behind the song!!

[wsaer56]

If only country was still like this these days and not full of that talentless bullshit glitzy glam wanna be country crap !!!

[RogueKnightReturns12]

@wsaer56 Don't you DARE slam those present day stars of country. This is the old school, still has its place but the people's tastes and vision of what country is belongs to the younger generation who are just as talented and maybe sexier than Miss Carpenter above. Times change, music evolves with history, so lay off.

[rocknrolnever4gets]

@RogueKnightReturns12

One thing to remind you about. It takes some losses, including your innocence, and a lot of time grieving, to find out there's only so much healing can be done. Surrender and the the strength and courage to stripmine your soul and put it in your music rarely come without a great cost.

[wsaer56]

@RogueKnightReturns12 Modern country sucks. plain and simple.

[lonestarunlimited]

awesome.

[hmm7273]

You don't have to be from Nashville to be as bright and extremely talented as this woman is. Listen to her every night and I was not a big country music fan. Outstanding performances where ever she sings and what she sings.



[Neenockamockawok]

If these seven wonderful vocalists and jerry douglas on slide guitar aren't enough to make you love this song, you clearly have no soul

[Earthdancer46234]

@Neenockamockawok I  missed Jerry Douglas. Mark O'Connor on Guitar.

Great song and video.

[bgfewell]

awesome on the slide...too bad they only show him once.

[pedpump]

So damn good!!

[velar1962]

I've been searching for this, thanks for posting.

[pix999]

Saw her live in Las Vegas about ten years ago, an awesome show.

I hated the Hard Rock Hotel as the showroom in which she performed was about the worst I've ever seen in a city noted for great venues to see a show. It had a flat floor like a gym and we were crammed in like sardines even though it only filled one third of the room, and they had us sitting on cheap-assed folding metal chairs. I'll never go back there and hope those amateurs fold up and go bankrupt.

[Caretaker24523]

great day.... do you realize just how much talent is on that stage... the sheer number of albums sold would stagger the imagination. A great compilation of some wonderfully talented women.

[setenteromusic]

FANTASTIC SONG!!!

[nwosukz]

We love you Mary!

[Denmanize]

this song is great especially with the other stars good song

[phantom4x4]

Suzy is just so loveable. Cute as a button.

[pyrofella]

Wow - there is so much talent on that stage! mindboggling - love this song!

[nwosukz]

Look how young Patty Loveless is!

[Caretaker24523]

@nwosukz look how young they ALL are.. lol

[thejerseytude]

Happy Birthday Mary! 

[peetyb0y]

Who would have thought that Geritol would have inspired this huge hit.

[doug4522000]

One of her best!

[guitardeejay]

This is my best ever performance of this song. Was also the song that got me into country music. Is also the first song I ever performed live. MCC rocks!! I love her

[carottedesjardin]

this song is so awsome...the fact that there is the 6 back up singer on the stage make the song perfect...the art of music...not all digital like today..

[cheerbear703]

I love this song and takes me back to when 90s country. ♥ it!

[EyerishEyesQQ]

The sound is great!

[claxton96]

@terytery1 Recorded in 1993

[willandlukerule]

Some of the best lyrics ever written

[MrPhil0267]

I am not a big Mary Chapin Carpenter song but even love this song. All these ladies are wonderfully talented.

[tonycipolla]

Suzy Bogguss is the hottest

[MrMouse904]

One of the best singers I've ever heard

[gs7767]

I totally agree CAL

[CAL2177]

Big smokey voice from a little body. She could sing the phone book and I'd listen.

[Candygirl9555]

Great video. I get to see her in concert tomorrow night in Santa Rosa. Can't wait!!! The last time I saw her was around the time this song came out. Then I went through a divorce and really related to this one!!!!!!!!

[claxton96]

For everyone's information, and in case you didn't know, backup singing were the following: Emmylou Harris, Kathy Mattea, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Suzy Bogguss and Pam Tillis.

[terytery1]

@claxton96 Thank, I really appreciate that. I only started listening to her now. When was this recorded ? I just wonder.

[RoyChavezSer]

Her voice has such drive and depth..gives me goose bumps...something lacking in todays female artists

[vicky65]

one of the best performances of all time

[RealTime88]

@vicky65 Yes I like MCC a lot. She is an amazing singer/songwriter. I get a little sad from this song but Mary always makes sense when she sings so it is all good at the end.

[pedpump]

@vicky65

I agree!!

[blairzel]

The music business sucks now...

[1calvinfunny1]

This was a great time for female country music. Lots of good songs by all of those backup singers on this video....To bad Nashville won't give them the time of day anymore........

[lsnows]

This song reminds me of the year I first move to the US. I love this country!!

[badlandjohn]

Nothing like seeing a bunch of classy country ladies at their best, looks like they're having fun. Thanks, this is an awsome video from back in the day....
