I've always loved this song. I lived in Seattle for many years and will return for a visit in August. I wish this were still available for download to my iPod, but apparently it's no longer available except on used vinyl. Thank you for at least making it available to listen to, and I agree, great job on the montage.
Thank you! What a beautiful tribute to a great song! Connie performed this song last night on the Marty Stuart show with a string ensemble along with the Fabulous Superlatives, brought back some fond memories.
Connie Smith can sing ANY song and make it a hit. Dolly Parton said, "there are only 3 female singers: Barbara Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie Smith, and the rest of us are all pretenders." Seems true. Today I might add Celine Dion as a 4th, but Connie gets my vote every time. Love this gal. She's the greatest. True Country class and a classic Country singer.
The best female voice in country music. Dolly Parton once said, "There are only 3 real female singers in music...."Barbra Streisand, Linda Rondstadt and CONNIE SMITH.....the rest of us are just pretending!"
Thank you so much for this video. Connie is my husbands fav since the early years and he played with Marty. We tease about her pink lipstick (becuz I wear it), but she is such a great talent, beauty and nice woman & as is Marty a great guy and her beloved husband. Seattle background is great. Thanks again, enjoyed alot.
wonderful song, beautiful voice...we need such a song for Berlin -Germany -))...but I only found two great songs by Connie Smith...it`s this one and Ribbons of Darkness...they make me realy creasy ...greeting from Berlin...Micha
Oh the many million memories that come back when I listen to Connie sing the songs of my youth. Her wonderful Christian songs really left a mark on my soul. I'll never forget her. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video and song.
GREAT photo montage with video. I love Connie Smith - & your attention to total detail made this a VERY accomplished & well done video. Thank you for posting.
Always loved this song and no one but Connie can sing it! Saw her last summer at a festival and yes she can still sing just as great and those eyes still send me!
A song of hope and promise with a view towards things beautiful. If all that was true, how much better the world would be for all of us to live in. . .
This is the first time I've heard this rendition of the song. Connie Smith sing it leaps and bounds better then that pretty boy punk Bobby Sherman did, but nobody sang this song better then Perry Como
Great song, the more I listen to it the more it grows on me. Connie is one of the regular performers on the Grand Ol Opry, so I can listen to her over the internet almost every Saturday night.
That's alright, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that perhaps Women can see more beauty in other Women than Men oftentimes. And now we KNOW for sure that there's NOTHING wrong with YOUR eyesight!!!
@donnyvango Thanks for posting this. IT IS a great song, as I find myself living in SEATTLE and thinking "once a "day, every day, all day " Another Connie great. FYI I was priviledged to hear her sing with husband Marty Stuart about 2008 at the Tanana Valley State Fair in Fairbanks, Alaska. I'm sure glad they DID that concert!
After seeing the many images of the LOVELY Connie Smith in this Slideshow, I'm totally convinced that she is one of the most BEAUTIFUL Women in the World ! There's nothing wrong with Marty's eyesight !
Love Connie and her hubby, Marty Stuart! She is one classy lady with the best voice in country music. Just saw her at the Orange Blossom Opry in Florida. When she sings "How Great Thou Art" you know it's been sung!
