The Tennessee Waltz - singer Patti Page 1950

[misyespitelk]

I miss my father when I hear this song.

[BrownSkinn1]

I've never heard this version before. It's beautiful. I'm used to the Sam Cooke version.

[mollymagoo1000]

My Mom's favorite song.

[firecat1415]

This was one of my father's favorite songs and every time I hear it, I see him shadow waltzing around the parlor. It breaks my heart into a million, million pieces because he is gone and I can't reach him...

[dennisfrenchman]

this was number one the week i was born, such a lovely song (sad too) and now my daughter plays this on utube and loves it too!!

[crazybay46913]

@dennisfrenchman That's cool! That's why I looked it up (for my father-in-law). First time I heard it but it sound really sad, in a good way.

[DigiBentoBox]

Wow, infidelity is so sad.

[bjorkmanful]

I'm not familiar with her but, wow, her music is emotionally good.

[johngchamberlin]

In the fall of 1951 I was 4 going on 5. We moved into an old farm house in Iowa when my grandmother died and my Dad went to Germany with the army. The previous renter had left an old wind up record player on the porch and there was a record in it. I turned the crank and it played the Tennessee Waltz. I played it over and over and it was my favorite song. I thought it was wonderfully sad, which probably fit my mood, even though I didn't really understand the song.

[ThePendraGonKin13]

i keep on playing this till it lulls me to sleep. one of my favorites...

[Reptargrr1]

she has a beautiful voice. 

[jlr123abcdoctor]

Poor poor patti. If I were her I would have went over there and kicked that il hussies ass and she wouldn't have stole nobodies nuthin again.

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

A beautiful song sung by a beautiful lady.

[ekmarkr]

My grandmother always use to say that Patti Page sounded like she had a "little tear" in her voice. (That was a HUGE compliment)! I think I know what she meant...what a beautiful voice she had!

[Lloydhl]

Yup, us guys tear a mite, too, his was my Mom's fav song, bless her heart, how she is missed!

[jamesefenton]

My dearest dad would sing this in the shower when I was a young lad and what a sweet memory for me. I lost him in 1978.

[MsRedfield97]

I used to listen to this song with my grandfather. We would sit in the living room listening to this song every Christmas Eve while drinking hot choco while the others are in the kitchen. *sigh* What I would give to have those times with my grandfather back.

[alphashed]

Got chill bumps here - whoever said some songs trigger memories was spot on! A kinder, gentler time but alas a fool's paradise. Oh to be in that paradise again.

[johnstock100]

Love her x

[jcrobso]

I was 5 when this song came out, it was the first country song that I had ever heard.

[attra91]

To all those who hit dislike, You need ears! Bunch of DAs.

[sulasno]

one of my favourites

[malamminggu2001]

i love it

[HeatherGlen33]

I have been on the computer for several years, but now I see that more and more updates are provided, and I have found the singers from so long ago, whom I loved. I don't need to buy the old classics and put them into my TV. I don't know how to upload, but I can still find so much on you tube, that I never knew existed. I am 82 yrs old now, and the great songs to me so far surpass what our kids have to listen to today. Thank you

[SpaceCowboy641]

@HeatherGlen33 I hope for you to know download ! If no,m then google for Free Youtube Downloadhelper ...

[redbutterflynine]

@HeatherGlen33 HUGS my mom would have felt the same but she sadly past away in 07 -- i so glad that some of our older generation is able to listen again to their favs - God bless you tube it does so much good for so many -- i wish all the people in nursing homes all had a lap top - how they would again enjoy life !!

[musicleeful]

I REMEMBER THE OLE RADIO DAYS AND THOSE GREAT FEMALE SINGERS , I,M LUCKY I LIKE ALL MUSIC FROM COUNTRY , BLUEGRASS TO CLASSICAL.

TONY LEE

[don417]

So in 1950 she'd have been 23. Not bad for a youngun.

[LordPorcupine]

When was the last time you heard something this pretty on country radio? I think it's time to Occupy Nashville until they bring back real music.

[IX19UT8O]

@LordPorcupine: I agree. Nashville is pop not country.

[Markthompson123]

damn 

[kennyyg]

Opp Patti Page was beautiful !

[twbk369]

素晴らしい

[44bearr]

How lovely it is. Time has taken nothing from her artistry, or from this haunting, bittersweet song. Thank you for every nuance; for the beauty you've shared.

[gooboo1000]

WAY BEFORE MY TIME BUT WOW, I KNOW INCOMPARABLE TALENT WHEN I HEAR IT!GORGEOUS VOICE!

[Lonestarry]

Yes...I lost my little darlin'....the night they were playing....

The Beautiful Tenessee Waltz.

Does this song bring tears to anyone else's eyes?

[Morglay]

@Lonestarry I'm a man and this did not bring tears to my eyes. No,no it did not bring tears to my eyes!

[AngryEyebrows96]

@Morglay Your not a man just cuz you don't cry.

I was raised on Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie

[Syzygy60]

yes she's a beautiful singer but I believe I sing as well as anyone when singing the right song

[Syzygy60]

I can make myself cry

[Syzygy60]

I sing like that

[net60man]

If I was born then then I would be lost too.

[1busybeekeeper]

There are so many songs from this era that were / are GREAT, sadly it's a bygone age, but they will remain in our memories for ever, I just wish my Grandchildren had the same "taste" in music.

I guess they will learn one day!

[jajus125100]

sentimental feelings are not easy to explain , but it is what i feel , and it is beautifull, every time

[eyvonne2006]

[blisflix]

Too sad, beautiful and makes me want to hug a dear friend!

[dingerbohl]

Cool

[jamesweisz]

my grand mother sang and loved this song.

i will always remember her this way.

[taxid3rmy]

@burltable449 ... ummm, you wanna revise line 3, verse 1 - and again in the repeat verse?!? Unless there's "something" you know about Patti Page the rest of us don't, i'm pretty sure Patti was no "tricycle". 

[sk555246]

My father loved this song even though he lived in Korea.

He had momories with song.

When he drank, he listened up this song again and again...

Sometimes, I listen up this song because of my father.

This song makes me remember my father..

[oscarshwartz]

What an awsome rendition of this song! She made it famous! It is now the state song of Tenn. Along with Rocky top!---Lee

[yenkim2417]

[roseangel1005]

a very sad story ,a very graceful melody!

[Bushbratz]

thank you for posting this! My mother isn't expected to make it through this weekend, and this is one of her most favorite songs! I really appreciate it being on here! (the rest of our family will as well) Thanks again for the comfort at this tough time for us!

[STupIDsuPerME]

It's funny how people's memories gets triggered so easily by songs.

[nula07]

@STupIDsuPerME

Yeah, and some of us who were there at the time are still alive. Surprise! It's not a trigger, it's in there. Patti's "Cross Over the Bridge" "Doggie in the Window" "Old Cape Cod"....iconic songs. Sung by the singin' rage, Miss Patti Page. So, what are you listening to, today, that you will remember, when you are 65? And what iconic music will you be looking up that doesn't need your grandchildren's assistance? I'd guess, not this.

[STupIDsuPerME]

@nula07 mm excuse me for not being in my 60s, however by trigger i mean when i was little my granny that passes away (86) a couple of years ago use to listen to THIS song when she misses my grandpa which also passes away 10 years before my granny did and now im missing my granny so im listening to this song and what trigered MY memory was when i was giving my granny a back massage whilst she listens to this song. will i rmb it when im 65 yrs old? i dont know, but this song will

[STupIDsuPerME]

@nula07 always be my favorite song forever... :DD

[Keckacka]

Shall we dance?

[IllLookForIt]

My mom sounds like this <3

[Mikanator93]

This is so L7!!!

[Freyja1133]

Wouldn't A Tear Fall be a good  flip side for Tennesse Waltz?

[seepersad8048]

TRUE Beauty and Talent. I only wish that my generation could be blessed with someone with half the talent as her. Instead I'm stuck with Lady Gaga.

[PinkyJezebel]

@seepersad8048 @seepersad8048 Actually Lady Gaga is pretty talented and has an amazing voice if she channels it the right way - her duet with Tony Bennett is pretty impressive

[seepersad8048]

@PinkyJezebel She can have a good voice but she's still trash.

[hunbun32]

My grandmother and grandfather would dance together in the living room to this song by themselves <3

Sleep tight...

I love you <3

[iamalwaysawoman]

I was 5 years old when I first heard this song...it brings back memories of our old home in Manila, Philippines!

[94114SF]

Absolutely the best version of this song ever.

[cscdigitalgraphics]

Going back in time to the good old days.... :-))

[jaz062910]

whoa!!!!!what a VOICE! i love this song my late grandpa used to sing this..

[23618618]

I very much enjoy listening to Patti. I was friends with her late husband Jerome and hearing Patti makes me remember his kind heart, easy smile and endless charm. Rebecca from NH

[DantheMan28821]

I drove down to Florida from Chicago in Feb. of 1950?+/- with my mom and dad and every place we stopped for bfast, lunch or dinner they were playiing this song........what memories!

[PolarSkua]

@DantheMan28821 What a fabulous-sounding memory.

[kamckenzie]

This was a big favorite of everyone and every time I hear it, I think back to then as all of us do when it was such a huge hit. Thanks for posting.

[buddahnature]

uh uh. She is TOO calm/pleasant singing this, almost happy even. I'd be bustin skulls!

[jelochegle]

such anice song

[TheSheryl2011]

my mums fav songs :)

[sakurasoh]

She owns the most beautiful voice ever..

[ImHisLuckystar]

I think I was born in a wrong generation. I want to hear her sing live :D

[iwanstj22a]

yang nyanyi cantik dan manis, anggun. bagus.

[commissionershuffler]

Kiedy tańczyłam z moją ukochaną Walc w Tenneessee Zdarzyło się , że zobaczyłam starego przyjaciela Podszedł do mojej ukochanej I chociaż tańczyliśmy Mój przyjaciel skradł mi moją ukochaną . Pamiętam noc i walc w Tennessee Teraz wiem jak wiele straciłem Tak , straciłem moją ukochaną . A w nocy grali Pięknie Walc Tennessee ...! Beautiful song.,,,,!!

[nv7103]

were I in the biggest rush of my life to catch the last train for the coast and heard this lady singing it, why i'd just have to find somewhere to sleep and catch my train another day. Just stops you in your tracks and not a dry eye in the house. Beautiful in every respect. Fab! Nick in London

[larry43reed]

when did patti page die?

[Quatarsys]

@larry43reed Oh geez... She's alive - 84 years now.

[Quatarsys]

@larry43reed Sorry - 83.

[likhound]

Wonderful song sung by a very talented Patti Page.

[intercomsec]

Wow what a beautiful lady! What a voice, every word perfectly clear.

[sleepyat2am]

why can't they sing like this anymore?

[Fureyn]

@sleepyat2am because nobody recognizes talent anymore; no loud background music to drown out her voice, no ridiculous half naked costumes, no jumping up & down on stage like an angry chipmunk - just her voice

[CarlBewley]

@sleepyat2am - because women dont wear girdles and corsets anymore :)

[PeterMc54]

@sleepyat2am range

[WhiskeyNinerGaming]

@sleepyat2am Women aren't classy anymore.

[bsauveable]

Mother sang this song all the time around the house. It has been many years since mother passed, but I have to say when I hear this song I can hear her in the background singing. I grew up in an innocent time with old tunes and many memories....thanks to Youtube so many of them live on....Just listened to Joe the Bartender and Crazy Guggenheim...talk about memories

[Richard19551]

@bsauveable My mother just died a few weeks ago - and your message has just moved me - a lot. Thanks.

[anjelina1940]

@bsauveable  I have similar memories.... My beautiful mother and my dad celebrating a time... dancing on the bar room floor in a little mountain town in New Mexico back in 1949.... truly a better and gentler time, if we could only do it all over again...

[MegaDocHolliday]

It was a time of times when this came out. The country was prosperous, and people were in love.. You don't have to like or dislike this song. You just need to have been there.

[don417]

@MegaDocHolliday must've been nice. No school shooting, terrorism, nobody knew what a serial killer was, people would actually help out others.

[paulinus43ad]

what a beautiful lady,,,,,,,

[n64wilbert]

This is so creepy!!!

[Polygurl916]

nice but i prefer Patsy Clines version...=)

[bjuggy1]

From one Johnny Reb to another. This Kentucky hillbilly could waltz to this any ole time.

[TheCj2108]

I was in grade 3 when my mom and dad used to play this song for us to get up early for school!!! and whenever I hear this, it reminds me of my childhood...now i turned 34, this song makes me feel so young and missing my folks at home!

[yoshidasantokyo]

i never know that she was so pretty!

what's more this live performance is flawless, even better than the record version.

[idolming]

I can listen to her the whole day without stopping! I love her voice!

[koky5150]

That is beauty. I wish I could travel back in time and see her sing this song.

[dougshumpert]

I first heard this beautiful song when I was four years old, listening on a not-so-old Motorola radio late into the night and well past my bed time. I have love Patti ever since, and will never forget those golden days and nights of the 1950's when real music was the norm. God, how I miss those days!

[ThatGuyTooHigh]

my grandmother loved this song....RIP grandma, I'll always remember

[qkliang]

What a beautiful, ethereal rendition...

[MrsJuneKortzGem]

I am 29, how I love this song as my mother sang it many a times. Along with other oldies. When I was younger, I taught my self how to play this song on the piano. And for the first time my heart broke and I began to cry,. before i even knew what heart break was. To this day and beyond, I will always have a tear or two, along with shaky hands and quiet voice.

[mrsbelcher1987]

I can't get enough of this beautiful song. I love it so much.

[ZELIG500]

What a voice. What a fox. One of the best songs to feel sad along with...the other is Helen Carter's version of  Wildwood Flower.

[jjj1951]

This was my mom and dad's favorite song. When she passed he could no longer bear to listen to it. He passed away 10 months ago and I hope they are dancing to it once again.

[Akhaggar]

@jjj1951 I'm sure they are. I'm a male, but your comment almost made me cry while listening to this song.

[slipsonic]

wow some of these comments choked me up a bit, its amazing all the history thats brought up by one song, its a great song, Im 28 and feel like I should have been around back then, but I wonder...... will people my age think about the present times the same way in 50 or 60 years?

[TwiceVicodin]

@slipsonic I hate my generation. No one's going to reminiscence about "When I was little, my dad got crunk to dubstep whenever American Idol was on."

[slipsonic]

@TwiceVicodin you have a good point, thats probly true, people arent close knit enough for that type of stuff anymore, kinda sad...

[jaisonlongcop]

[bubbbb0]

Ahh! "Swoon!",,Those were definately the Good Years! I Wished I couldve lived then!

To bad Im 16 and in the wrong Era! :)

[nevillemaxwell44]

I used to dance to this in the 1950's very romantic, magic, delightful music by Patti still thoroughly enjoy

[jgmagoo1]

I was 11-years old in 1950 and this was probably the first piece of popular music I remember.

I distinctly remember my mother singing this as she stood in the kitchen washing dishes and I was moved at the time seeing how happy she was.

A beautiful memory indeed!

[YoureMyEntireLife04]

How I love this song! really really!! even though I'm a 14 year old girl I still adore this song :D

[jeff62rey]

"I was dancing with my darlin." I am now a spent, 88 year old North Carolinian, but I have enough energy to tell my story. I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz. "I know how much I have lost." December 1963. We were in a club in Raleigh. The Tennesee Waltz playing. I was sitting in a booth and Veronica was crying. I came over to her, lonely myself after a fierce argument with Gladys. Veronica allowed me to listen. She put her head on my shoulder. The rest history.

[amckayceng]

@jeff62rey

Well done sir

[don417]

@jeff62rey so what happened?

[Jigaboo123456]

@jeff62rey According to your profile you are 49, not "." I am now a spent, 88 year old North Carolinian" with " enough energy to tell my story" Enough energy to B.S anyway, whattever age you are!

[paulinus43ad]

@jeff62rey that statement transends all boundries ,,all creeds ,,all views ,,all bloody everything,, on ya mate,,,

[jeff62rey]

@paulinus43ad Much appreciation to an Australian kinsman lover of good music memories.

[paulinus43ad]

@jeff62rey no worries matey,,,,,,,,,

[sdlocalboy60]

@jeff62rey What a wonderful memory to share with us. I hope life brought you every happiness!

[MrCallipygous]

Wonderful. Better than the double tracked vocal on the record.

[ngengot123]

Very nice ,really love to listen her great voice

[net60man]

Can understand why she was so great..

[lotusesprit1981]

In my opinion (and Many others too truly) culturally we have regressed into an aggressive "ugly" expressionist society..this song for example..

the simplicity, the beauty..you can sit and listen close your eyes and can FEEL like you are back in 1950...

THAT is magic make no mistake...

the "product" produced nowadays is unworthy

[pushuptony]

This is our corp song for music city

[draaier327]

[MrJaylord2010]

This song creeps me out. It has the ominous feeling of violence about to happen.

Oh for the days when singers could actually sing - and Patti was one of the best.

[aa123802aa]

素晴らしい！good!

[littlelulu1946]

This song was my father's favorite song and favorite singer, I cannot hear this without remembering my wonderful father and how we watched THE HIT PARADE when I was little. Patti Page has such clarity and beauty in her voice with such clear articulating her words with love and feeling. This was music that lasts forever. SEMPER FIDELIS, MY DEAREST DAD, till we meet again!

[222mozart]

super

[drsadewa93]

my mom favorite song :)

[dalanor69]

All class! :)

[dgarnes1]

No one sings this song like Patti Page, with that smooth, mellow voice. One of the great all-time pop hits.

[thelaughingman79]

i am mesmerized....this woman must have been lonely living on a level all by herself

[nathanwaihape]

This lady has a smooth style

[marisadaniela6]

this song and the comments have about broken my heart...

[BoothealFiddler1]

I lived at the lake when I first heard this song & I was on the dance floor , dancing with whom I thought was my sweetheart when he broke the news to me , he said he loved me for the first time & then said he would have to let me go because he got a girl pregnet on a one night stand. He had a car wreck & was killed two days later, I still had his ring & I always think of him when I hear this song.

[sessnazx]

Thank you so very much Mary,

...An old Favorite

[ladiebosz22]

.i always remember my dad when i heard this song...but he already pass away, i really missed him.
