Connie Smith -- Ribbon Of Darkness

Like a moth to a flaming candle, I keep getting attracted back to this!
Superb composition that is given to magical performances by Connie Smith, Marty Robbins and Gordon Lightfoot all!

Gosh. Make-up and Hairstyles in that era were so beautiful. I really wish that bigger hair and "The Flip/bouffant" would make a comeback. AND not with that stupid "bump-it" device selling on infomercials now, but with honest-to-goodness hot rollers, a can of hairspray and some teasing. That's true Vintage.

Man, she is a good lookin' woman!

I remember seeing this on Hee Haw when I was a kid. God I love her singing this song. She has such a wonderful voice.

Just don't get no better. A living dream.

This is the Connie Smith I remember, it don't get much better 5*****

This is my favorite song of Connie's. There's only one thing wrong with this clip, and it's that the background is too loud & thumping. The recorded version has much lighter bass and delicate acoustic guitar work that is perfect. But Connie's performance is without peer. Marty Robbins may have had a bigger hit with it, but to me Connie will always OWN Ribbon Of Darkness.

Connie Smith or Marty Robbins....this Gordon Lightfoot beautiful song is the real winner!!

Was Gary Stewart ever on the show?

As big a Marty Robbins fan as I am, I've got to say Connie sings it better. Sorry. *****
