I would love to meet her someday in my life. I have worshipped her singing for many many years.....a so so ~* Classy Lady *~...always far too underated. God Bless You Leona!...from Ashern, Manitoba Canada!
Another great country song , it has to be said that Buddy Emmons is always perfection , always tasteful and for almost 60 years been the greatest pedal steel player on earth, and still owns the benchmark .
@TurbinePower69 I havn't heard a lot of Billy Coopers playing, who did he do sessions for and I will certainly look him up to remind myself of him.
There are many great steel players out there who, when I her them I think wow that is superb, then I listen to Buddy and I always think, yes the others are good but buddy puts steel playing to another level.
Complex stuff he makes look easy with precision, easy stuff he makes sound like a million dollars with tone and touch, there will be non better
I remember her great Hickory-recordings.Now this real fantastic singer sings an old song from the real fantastic Carl Butler.Country Music can't sound much better!
The first time I ever heard this song was by Porter Wagoner on his TV show. Porter's voice is just right for songs like this I think. It's a song that is just a good classic example of great country music. Thanks again for posting - Paula
I failed to post about how good I think Leona does this old classic. She really does justice to this favorite. Also, the band is wonderful. Thanks again ronnie for posting. - Paula
I think she's even better today, and I agree that her son Ron is a fine singer. Daughter Cathie Lee is great, too, but she's a reluctant star. She seems to like harmonizing more than taking the solos. Last time I saw Leona, Cathie Lee sang harmony on "Apartment #9" and they were fantastic.
I love this song and Leona does a great job with it. She has made records I know but I've never heard much by her, sad to say. I am thankful to see this video. Thanks so much for posting this old favorite of mine. - Paula
Yes Leona and George sang "Best friends". Great song. Leona is a fantastic country singer. She's still around and doing great. Sings a lot around Branson.
What a great job! Best version of this song I have ever heard. Very attractive woman also!

Nice Job! I had never heard of her before! This is a nice "female version" of Ricky Scaggs' classic rendition.
