R.I.P. Marty :( (She didn't make it)

[Mondayrose1]

Johnathan Edwards is an awesome singer. Like seeing him with Kenny White on the keys too. I sat in with him at the Lone Star in New York and got to play Shanty with him and me on piano. Brought the house down. Great memories.

[MrJimd2010]

We have been married 40+ years now and I have wondered the same thing! I love Johnathn's music, always have! Looking for a good copy of Give us a Song sweet Jesus.....anyone know where to grt it?

[glenmann62]

why does he wear the red pants in almost every video?

[airmojo]

@glenmann62 Must be his lucky pants... kind of like Superman's "pants"...

[GeorgieWise]

This man is a real man in a world full of posers. Like your dad, if you have a good dad and not a poser. You can learn from him either way.

[pnb1130]

Could he think he's any more precious, or be more full of himself? So pleased that these self-obsessed Boomers are dying off...

[GeorgieWise]

@pnb1130 yeah, you'll grow up and let go of your hate someday when you are old. If you are as lucky as we are, don't bet on it though, I don't.

[margy357]

Jonathan Edwards is sooo awesome -- to see him live in concert is one of my most favorite -- he puts on a wonderful show!

[tinacious1969]

just beautiful. never've heard this before. love this man. excellent!

[jags2rags]

Sure wish I could hear him sing Emma!!!!

[fethard1]

I first saw this guy when I was 15 years old in 1972 at the City Hall in Portland Maine, I just saw him last night here in Portland and the guy is better than ever. This guys one of the all time best, too bad he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

[scarletdaisies]

Really sweet song! Nice guy with lots of talent!

[lomez]

Gorgeous, man. Kudos.

[Johnfern99]

What an awesome entertainer! And what a class act to play there for a good cause!

[shuffleslunuffle]

I can't stop from thinking this song and Jonathan

should be all over the media...come on...!!!...beautiful sentiment and such a voice...

Aa

[rnbateman]

The name of the song is-Where did we go right!

[jopa123]

Shanty is one of the best songs ever written.

[beckyboolou]

This is an amazing performance. What tone and elegance and beauty. I'm buying everything this man has ever laid down. Jonathan - if you read this, please reach me via youtube. So goooooodddd...

[othercousin]

I love this guy....but could someone please get him on the "Extreme Makeover" show.lmao....pink pants and a faded grey t shirt! Must not be married..lol

Thanx for posting this - I really enjoyed it

[skipplet]

He looks like Red Foreman with a goatee

[ceeloshady3]

HAHHAHAH!!! You're right!!!

[matt85306]

lol thats so true

[thebraveadultclub]

this is just awesome. i've watched

it several times. i posted it on myspace to

share with friends, and am on the verge

of completely burning it out. what a talent

this guy is.

[twinadultclub]

twin brother you are exactly right. I'm learning this today and playing until my fingers bleed. So powerful. Why doesn't youtube have a repeat button.

[zencaper]

Jonathan

Thanks so much for being there.

[ponytoes]

Thanks for posting. I bought his albums years ago...my fav if I recall was "King of Hearts". If you haven't heard it, go find it. It is awesome. I hope he is back performing and comes to California. kat

[vlunney]

that's sunshine go away today. my bad.

damn this guy is good...

isn't it funny how relevant the music of the sixties is today? miley and the rest have NO FREAKING CLUE what music is!!

[AmayaYuukuno]

Song's actually only called "Sunshine."

And as far as music goes, I rarely listen to music newer than -95; some things really were better back in the days.

[jdmarcus59]

ok never mind i know who he is now my brain was asleep lol.

[jdmarcus59]

i have never seen are heard of this guy before who is he? I know that may sound like a dumb qustion, but mabey you can tell me of some hit he may of had....he kinda reminds me of gorden lightfoot of whom iam a huge fan.

[vlunney]

you might have heard " sunshine go away again" his biggest hit.

[bitterchew]

sounds like Steven Stills

[fenderdude91]

way underrated

[freesk8]

This guy is still every bit as good as he was back then...

Love Sunshine!

[jmm1000]

the guy is a gift

[access810]

Marty died last year - God Bless her soul.

Jonathan was kind enough to stop by at this fundraiser for Marty when he heard about her serious condtion. He was actually scheduled for a concert at the Lebanon, NH Opera House that evening.

------------------------------­-----MAYO 1954

[thepoint08]

In '06, Marty Laymen-Mendonca was in Scotland, on vacation, and beaten near to death by a recently out of jail woman-beater. She may be dead by now, she still could be in a coma,or she could be fine. I suspect Marty taught at this school, as this is a concert for her.

So _what_ if Johnathan's at a high school. At least he's there for her......

[lesvance01]

This song was originally recorded by Lacy J. Dalton. I love her voice. But Jonathon's interpretation is spot on.

[G0bbleMyG00]

damn hes doin high school shit now

[jws54]

Man, this guy still rocks! when I die, I want to come back as him

[chrissigurl1989]

lol

[nolantitleist3]

where is this?

[mookielovesgod]

never heard this before

its beautiful

thanks for posting!

God Bless the man

whose singing

to recognize

simple love

is not really that

easy

now is it?

[gps100proof]

belive it or not, my dad named me after this guy! i thought it was dumb as a kid, but the older i get...........the more it makes sense. luv you dad

[GeorgieWise]

@gps100proof: You are lucky Jonathan, I named my first boy Kelly, after a friend and the dumb ass nurse changed his birth certificate from male to female. Texas redneck stupid, personified. We fixed it, but goddamn it was redneck stupid.

[pickinpop]

great song

[desiarnesi]

the name of the song is where did we go right i asked the man himself in ann arbor on saturday it is on the natural thing album what an amazing show he signed cds after the show!!!!!!

[alanmorri]

Man! This man has always had an amazing voice, emotionally moving songs and total sincerity in his delivery..it just does NOT get any better than this!

[desiarnesi]

what is the name of this song

[JRoos1972]

Best ever!

[januaryatupdotnet]

what is the name of the song?

[ughUSERNAME]

bump.

[soccer44me]

ha, that's my school, from a while ago

[ginmillsinger]

On a double-date, back in '79, or '80, I saw Johnathan at a small blues bar. It was just him on the guitar, and the audience sat at tables. We were at a front table, and had a great time! It's a favorite memory of mine. Man, He looks a lot different now, but then, don't we all! :c)

[ontario1727]

Fantastic, a truly soul moving song.

[dgross1964]

This is the singer who sang "Shanty" (otherwise known as "Put a Good Buzz On")....great stuff!

[OldenVictor]

5 stare and favour

hello from moscow!!!

victor plden

[bitterchew]

He has a whole lot of "stage presence" more than a lot of much more famous folks

[HellenisticGodess]

the name of the song , please ?

[alwayskeepdrawing]

After all these years, so wonderful to listen to Jonathan Edwards again. Back in '74, old friend Marla had this album, in the hills outside of San Jose, and just kept playing the Jonathan Edwards album, drinking tea and munching on toast with honey, and loving the music. Thank you for this post, and thank you Mr. Edwards! -A fan from long ago.

[hankmacgregor]

Great video love the song

[namnoiz]

This song really grabbed me.Bravo,another great song from Jonathan.

[silmans]

I'd love to know how to get this recording in an mp3 file for my ipod... Great song...

[KingBobCat]

Awesome video from a great artist! Saw him originally in 1977 and would love to see him come back to Michigan again!!!

[tommygun120022000]

In my opinion Johnathan Edwards is one America's finest musicians. Isn't it funny that you can see him here playing in a high school gym when he could be on stage in front of 10,000 people if he only compromised and played mediocre, top 40 music instead of heartfelt folk?

[TyteFystedFolkie]

BUT, "Shanty" appeals to people's baser instincts.

I don't really feel that I'm among my kind when he performs it.

[airmojo]

I was just on JE website... He's playing today June 27th at "The Ark" in Ann Arbor Michigan ! Hurry !
