The Best "Obscure" Ronnie Milsap Song - Ever

This is "The Future Is Not What It Used To Be," It is one of my all-time favorite Ronnie Milsap songs, even though it was not one of his big hits. From the DVD "Ronnie Milsap: Live."

do you know where this was recorded ...

[scottruss42]

@BrotherAl74 I assume in Nashville somewhere. Made for a concert DVD.

[llibnorhcop]

Was this on his 20/20 Album?

[scottruss42]

It was on the "Almost Like A Song " from the late 70s.

"I'm a singer, not a vocal stylist. My breathing is correct; my enunciation is precise. Because of that, I can sing anybody's music. Yet there are stylists whose technical skills are so underdeveloped they can sing only their own songs their own way. They might be remembered for their hits longer than I am. I'll probably be working longer than they are. I can sing whatever the times and the trends demand." ----Ronnie Milsap

No one EVER will or will try to even have a voice like his.. i mean crap listen to him!! no voice enhancers like all these country stars today!! each Opry star like Conway, Hank, George, Roy Acuff, have a amazing unmathable voice!!!

This is just unbelievable, a great version of probably one of the best songs ever written. Check out Mickey's version too, it's unreal. The lyrics are amazing on so many levels and can be interpreted on many levels. Thanks for posting!

@BloozeDaddy76 I completely agree with you. Ronnie Milsap also has won SIX Grammy Awards, and George Strait, although I love his music, too, has not won his first Grammy yet. How can other performers who have not accomplished as much as Ronnie Milsap has be inducted into a hall of fame before such a talent as this man?? I had the pleasure of seeing Ronnie in concert in Austin in 1979 and 1983. He is my favorite country singer, and he will receive this recognition, I'm sure!

@BloozeDaddy76..the people in the real world should have their own hall of fame where we name who really touches our lives and deserves life time achievement awards from us, the people who listen to and buy the music...a real peoples choice award ran by and for the people, not by the music industry

Wow! this is a fantastic song. I am going to learn this one, for sure. This is the first time I've ever heard this song, but it sure won't be the last.
