  • What is that song in the video? It's awesome.

  • It's "Northeast Texas Women" by Willis Alan Ramsey, recorded on the album, "Willis Alan Ramsey" back in the early 70's. I've not heard anything from Ramsey since then, but his debut/only album is a gem of original songwriting. He is something of a mystery in Texas music. The original vinyl is a valuable collector's item. I hope he doesn't mind my using this great song for this humble tribute to Ann.

  • I meant very well done....

  • Thanks. She will be missed.

  • RIP Governor Richards and give them hell up there in Heaven........... You will be missed, you were one of the last late great Texans.

  • This GREAT LADY was a true AMERICAN who cared for this Country deeply. She left the State of Texas in much greater shape after her governorship. I just wish she would of won that November of 1994. I was truly saddened and somewhat depressed when I learned she had lost. Governor Richards was a TRULY BRIGHT STAR.

  • Rock on Anne! Miss you

  • A classic example of a real Texas woman...

  • Great woman...great video...

  • Okay, anyone who is presumptious and stupid enough to assume that Ann Richards would automatically be for Hillary Clinton obviously doesn't know anything about Ann.

  • What kind of Texas woman wouldn't already know about this amazing goddess? What is wrong with you people!

    Oh, and Ann would NOT have endorsed Hillary...Ann was a no-bullshit taking, staunch progressive and even endorsed Howard "Screaming" Dean in 2003. So I guess you can maybe figure out who she would have gone with.....

  • This tribute is excellent and very moving. I want to learn everything about Ann Richards now. Hillary 08!

  • Ann Richards is a woman I knew very little about UNTIL Hillary's campaign showed me what she was like. Ann was outstanding...what an awesome woman! I really admire her. I hope Texas women come together and they show their support for Hillary at the polls and caucus sites. Ann's daughter said that Ann would support Hillary with a passion. Hillary and Bill loved Ann and they were friends for over 30 years.

  • Ann Richards set the standard for what all of us Democrat women should be ... strong, independent and outspoken. VOTE FOR HILLARY in the memory of Ann Richards who I know would be her strongest... and loudest... voice! Gov Richards was my hero. I miss her. Let's put our first woman in the White House and since it can't be our Ann, Vote for the next best thing... Hillary Clinton!
