  • R.I.P Dixie Carter

  • SUCH a moving episode! I cannot watch without welling up inside...Indeed, How GREAT Thou ART, oh Lord, AMEN!

  • RIP Dixie Carter amazing voice!

  • I remember the first time I watched this I was pretty young maybe 13-14years old. My aunt watches this show. When Dixie came out and sang. I was just stunned, almost on the verge of tears. Then my sister about 7-8years old says "look at the lady's big glasses." UGH! She totally ruined the moment.

  • @LADiEHAMO88 Aww, I know it was a moment killer, but you cracked me up! I had to watch the video again because I didn't notice the lady with the glasses until I read your pose!!

  • I listen to this song in the evening before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning it's still playing in my head. what a wonderful voice she has.

  • You are singing in heaven's choir with the angels now, Mrs. Carter. Thank you for posting this

  • r.i.p dixie!! you are sooo missed!!!!!! your voice always makes me smile

  • RIP DIXIE CARTER........NOW IN HEAVEN SINGING WITH THE ANGELS.....LOVE THIS SONG, AN ALL TIME FAVORITE, ,,,,,,,,ITS EVEN BETTER WHEN AN ANGEL SINGS IT....IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE ONE AND ONLY DIXIE CARTER....FOREVER LOVED

  • This was a shock for me when I first heard it. I still feel the chills over 20yrs later

  • If I had a voice like that...man oh man. Truly a wonderful voice...hearing her sing gives me chills

  • She is happy now.

    God bless this amazing talent.

    You are missed.

  • TYVM for fixing this ! I needed to hear it . Tommorrow I will bury my niece , she turned 17 three weeks ago.

  • I have been looking for this for years , now that I find it ---it will not play for me !

  • What ever happened to shows like this that were entertaining and kid safe

  • @TheCoupechopper Exactly. Watching this as an adult, I can catch on to the inuendos. But watching it as a kid, it was a safe show and fun to watch b/c the things they'd say were so above the head of a child that you could just enjoy it.

  • One of my favorite episodes!! I saw Dixie perform on Broadway several years ago and waqs very impressed by her vocal talent!!

  • Wonderfull singer, actress, and human being. Loved her.

  • A class act..... None other can compare.

  • I know this was lip sincing in a studio but Would have loved to have been in the studio audience to witness and hear this. What a talent and Dixie will be missed.

  • She did hit the high note!

  • I wish I could find the clip of the earlier part of this episode, when Bernice so elequently tells the preacher off. She speaks of women's rights, and how after the crucifixion of christ, after all the MEN went home, it was WOMEN who stayed till the bitter end!!!  Any help out there?

  • @SplinterG66

    I ORDERED THE SECOND SEASON OF DESIGNING WOMEN BECAUSE I COUDLN'T FIND ANY RECORDINGS OF THIS. AND I, TOO, ABSOLUTELY LOVED BERNICE'S REBUTTAL TO THE PREACHER'S COMMENTS. I COULD LISTEN TO THIS OVER AND OVER FOR HOURS...

  • Is this available on CD

  • What a wonderful voice!!!! I hope she went to heaven singing that song!

  • Love this.. Makes my believe more, and opens my heart! Tears runs down...

  • This song I like want to play at my beloved Mother's funeral.

  • Tootpla..Yes she was on Broadway. One of her roles was Edith Piaf.

  • This is beautiful. Dixie's missed a lot in my family God bless her.

  • Holy heck. This gives me chills everytime. Was she ever on Broadway? She should have been!

  • Diixie Carter was one of my favorites on the show, Designing Women. I admired her for the spunk that she portrayed on the show,and she looked beautiful, and respectful doing it. I only wish that I had met in person. I really liked her charactor.

  • You are missed Dixie, but we know you are in a better place full of love. Hal, may God comfort you with the knowlege that you'll be together again. What a talent.

  • I remember when this aired, and it makes me teary-eyed now, considering that Dixie is no longer with us.

  • how can I get a copy of this its my uncles request to have it played at his funeral, he said its the most beautiful version he ever heard hawkefanatical@yahoo.com

  • @hawkefanatical

    It is possible to rip the file from youtube and use media player to strip the audio. Honestly, though I agree Dixie's version is amazing, it's actually a "re-do" of Sandi Patti's original version, I think your uncle would fall in love with her... just a thought. I have the recording, I would gladly give him if he wishes.  my email is blake.deveraux@yahoo.com

  • It made me cry the first time I heard it. And it's made me cry tonight. Go with God, Miss Dixie. I look forward to meeting you.

  • She was indeed wonderful. This is one of my favorite episodes!

  • Whenever I watch this video, I end up crying my eyes out. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, and it was my mom's favorite hymn, so it means a great deal to me. Thanks for posting.

  • If we could hear Angels Singing. It would probably sound like Dixie Carter...

  • I think this is just great, the networks would never allow this to be sung like this on primetime. Amazing show, but it went downhill superfast when Charlene and Suzanne exited.

  • How dramatic!

  • This is a little late, but the angel choir in heaven got a new member with Dixie Carter.

  • I have been looking to see this clip for over a year and Finally found it. Thank you so very much. It means a great deal to me.

  • My favourite episode!! How great He is!

  • one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever heard....

  • @MsSouthernpatriot ......Amen!!!!!!!!!

  • My favorite episode! Thank you

  • @shortydog27 mine too!

  • i'm glad all these Designing Women videos on youtube. i love all the old ones with Suzanne in them. Dixie Carter will be missed.

  • Can't drop link but google Methodist Dixie by Mark Tooley at American Spectator.

  • R.I.P.Dixie singing with the angels with that great voice.

  • I did not know that she had passed on. But I agree, she is singing with the heavenly choir now. Putting a smile on God's face with that superb soprano voice of hers. Wow...it brought tears to my eyes.

  • What an exceptional voice.. Such a powerful song..I don't think I've ever heard it sung more beautifully...no, I don't think so.

    We'll think of you singing with the angels now, dear Dixie, and we'll miss you~

  • Dixie was an amazing and true lady! We are so blessed to have had the chance to get to know her. My deepest sympathies to Hal Holbrook and her daughers. Dixie was a true first class lady with a wonderful voice, the voice of an angel! I hope to one day get a copy of this song to be played at my funeral. I definately would love to have Dixie sing it for me! Love her! R.I.P. Mrs. Dixie Carter Holbrook. You will be missed, our Queen of the South!

  • Whatever happened to Meshach Taylor!?!

  • OMG, This was my favorite episode of Designing Women. I just loved Dixie Carter SO Very Much, and every time I hear her sing this song it just sends chills up and down my spine and brings tears to my eyes, so beautiful. RIP Mrs. Holbrook and my condolences to your family, You will surely be missed! America loves you! God Bless!

  • This is not a Catholic church and i don't think Charlene is Catholic

  • Rest in Peace, Mrs. Holbrook.

  • I sit alone crying for the worlds loss, Our true queen of the south is gone.

    but never forgotten, this song will be played at my funeral.

  • She's in heaven singing now.

  • @wannagoback052 yes, thank you for this response. She is singing with choirs of angels now. Indeed

  • I remember the first time I saw this episode and heard Ms. Carter sing this hymn. I cried then and I cry each time I hear it. Not because it's sad, but because of her talent. I have to agree with jaybird74, Ms. Carter singing to God's face, and Him saying, "Welcome home, honey!" Amen to that! She will be missed.

  • If you have never heard or don't remember hearing Dixie Carter/Julia Sugarbaker sing "How Great Thou Art" take a listen to this...... and listen all the way through .Truly awsome.

  • Always loved this arrangement. Still gives me chills.

  • This was one of my favorite episodes. The plot dealt with women not being allowed in the pulpit in the Catholic church! Charlene was going to leave the church but came back to hear Julia and she tore this song up!

    RIP Dixie!

  • @ProfessorCDG1906 Amen! I loved this episode and this is my favorite version of "How Great Thou Art". Charlene's reaction at the end is priceless and great acting by Jean Smart. Very sad about Dixie Carter as I LOVED Julia Sugarbaker and use quotes from her often.

  • She was a class act. RIP.

  • Now she can sing GOD's praise to His face - and He can say " Welcome home, honey!:

  • RIP Dixie, you will be missed.

  • she is so amazing... her voice, her acting, a class act lady!!! she will be greatly missed!! i have goosebumps just watching it!!

  • The greatest version I have ever heard of this song. She will be missed.

  • I have always loved Dixie Carter singing this song. My heart goes out to her family at this time. She was a true class act and will be missed.

  • This song, along with "Amazing Grace" and "Ave Maria", *always* ALWAYS brings me to tears. Simply beautiful.

  • Thanks for posting this I have always been a huge fan of Dixie and was sad to learn of her death and this is the clip I was looking for very fitting for the occation RIP Dixie you were a true DIVA !

  • RIP

  • I hope Mr. Holbrook and Miss Carter's daughters can watch this today, or soon. It brought tears to my eyes, but it also assured me of where Miss Carter is now. Peace to the family.

  • Rest in peace beautiful Dixie....we will greatly miss you !

  • Dixie had the voice of an angel!!! Love her to pieces! She was an amazing actress and singer! She had so much talent. I have loved her since I was a little girl and now I feel like a part of me has died with her! R.I.P. Dixie! Keep singing your heart out!!!

  • R.I.P Dixie...you are now using that beautiful voice in heaven to sing with the other angels

  • This is my favorite version of this hymn.

    RIP Dixie Carter. Heaven must have needed another heavenly vioce in it's choir.

    My condolences and prayers are with her family.

  • RIP,, a classy lady,,

  • RIP... lovely.

  • I rarely watched DW, but did see this eposide and have to say that this part was really impressive. Lovely woman with a fantastic voice. RIP, Dixie.

  • goodbye Julia sugarbaker! surely you will be missed! Rest in peace

  • I had the Pleseure of meeting her on a flight I was working, she's a wonderful and down to earth person and even hung out in the galley with us and chatted and laughed with us.. A True Lady, in every word, Now there is a New Star in the Heavens .... RIP Dixie, you will be missed a great deal... Condolences to your family and friends....

  • RIP Ms. Dixie!

  • This was one of my favorite episodes! She had a fabulous voice and I don't care what anyone says, she was the master as public speaking. Talk about commanding when she got fired up, I could never wait for her light into someone who was closed minded or just silly.

    R.I.P Dixie

  • What a beautiful class act! I will always remember her as the wonderful Julia Sugarbaker. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

  • 04/11/2010 Dixie Carter has been called home. This is my favorite hymn that is so perfect for her lovely voice. I love watching her husband, Hal Holbrook in the audience looking at her with such devotion and love. I know that her love will be there for him always. I am so grateful that he shared her with us. God bless.

    She is in our prayers as is her devoted husband.

  • Good Bye Dixie You will be missed!!!!

  • You will missed Julia Sugarbaker!

  • This is one of my favorite Designing Women eps (right along w/ The Rowdy Girls). Dixie had a fantastic voice. Had the pleasure of seeing her on Boradway (Thoroughly Modern Millie) and I was all giddy that I had seen Julia Sugarbaker, LIVE!!! RIP Dixie!!! :(

  • RIP Dixie Carter

  • Apparently Dixie Carter and producer Linda Bloodworth Thomason had a deal - for every very liberal minded speech Dixie had to deliver she got to sing in an episode

  • I have been WAITING FOREVER for someone to post this!!!!! Thank you soooooo much!

  • I know she starred in Master Class on Broadway a few years ago, but had never heard her sing live. She's outstanding.

  • Doesn't she have a wonderful voice? I had the rare pleasure of meeting this lovely lady when she was appearing at Disney MGM Studios a few years ago and got to chat with her for quite a while - she is every inch a true lady!

  • @skippyj1955 dixie is my faverite

  • @skippyj1955 thank you for adding this..i looked for it a few years ago and couldn't find it...one of the best ever!!!

    I loved Dixie Carter and can remember hearing this for the first time. It may have been a sitcom, but the tears streaming down my face were real!!!

  • Absolutely Beautiful. Thanks for posting this. Dixie Carter has such an amazing singing voice.
