Isn't a shame we have to go onto Utube to listen to wonderful country music like this now. BRING BACK OLD COUNTRY! SOMEBODY!!

I remember when it first came out listening to it at the bar. Great for crying in my beer. 😊

Just what I needed to hear tonight. Lots of lonely people out there, hiding the hurt with a smile.

She has a voice that enhances every song she has ever accompanied, without withstanding her quality as as a solo singer

Janie Frickie is one awesome singer herself ❤ i think she has been backup for every artist in country music

Merle had an angel singing behind him. Great job Janie and Merle.

One of the most beautiful county music performances ever.

I love this song. Such brokenhearted lyrics. It gives me chills when I hear it. Merle is so missed

i can listen to Merle every day all day

American country singer Merle Haggard left behind a legacy that forever changed country music. Merle Haggard was a devout Christian, stating “It’s almost embarrassing to know that the Lord cares that much for me, but I’m going to shout it to the world.” Much like his late friend Johnny Cash, Haggard was no saint.

He may be gone, but his music will stay forever.

Isn’t it just glorious we can go onUtube to listen to wonderful country music like this, now!!!

At this point Merle still had his voice and playing ability. He exudes confidence and was at his best. These recorded concerts are priceless of a super artist.

No one greater than MERLE HAGGARD, never will be anyone to match this voice

Gives me goosebumps. THIS IS REAL COUNTRY

I was in the kitchen enjoying this song. I thought I heard Janie Fricke singing harmony. It was. So happy to hear you both.

Janie has one of those voices she could sing with just about anyone.

I think we all are looking for a place to fall apart after this pandemic. Keep strong and God Bless

I have. been listening to Merle for 60years now and he is now teaching the Angels how to sing. As far as I'm concerned there is no one better. I miss him.

What a combination, Merle Haggard and Janie Fricke. They complimented each other like no other two singers I have ever heard.

What a great words in that song,if there is someone who fills lonely ,sad unwanted,broken,come to Jesus,and at his feet you will fall apart

As a kid, I can remember listening to this on the radio when it first came out and I was so moved, almost to tears. And of course part of that was because of the way “The Hag” could almost transport you into a song for those 2-3 minutes in that absolutely masterful way. BUT ADDITIONALLY, The ONE AND ONLY Miss Janie Frickie, was(and still is) also an ABSOLUTE MASTER in the way she could add to songs, and to this day I don’t think she EVER got enough credit (outside the Nashville community) for how she helped so many songs SORE TO #1, because of the sound she helped create. And this song is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!

Like Merle they are the real deal! Love to see and hear them perform!

Janie Fricke makes the song work and so very Beautifully. Best version Ever!

Oh Beautiful Janie and Merle ✌❤ to y'all

May Almighty God bless you Merle. Thank you for all the joy you gave me. May you rest in peace. From Ireland 🇮🇪

❤keep it up friends we all miss him 😢

What a duet the best brought tears to my eyes another brilliant country song 🎸🎸

Heard this a dozen times but it still gives me chills when it starts. One of the best if not the best. RIP Merle.

To get thrown into San Quentin for non-violent convictions and prior escapes, and then to come out of prison and redeem himself to become an accomplished writer, singer, instrumentalist, and performer. Hag was a real country legend. It's hard getting used to Merle and the Strangers not coming around and doing a show every year.

A song a listen to so many times during my divorce tear jearker

Terrific, two great voices and Merle's nice old Telecaster, what's not to like?

Love Merle's version of this love ballad. Miss you Merle!

It's been a long time since I heard this song. Love Merle and Janie together. Still brings back goose bumps and tears. love it

Janie, has a hauntingly beautiful voice, a perfect match to Merle

Janie compliments this work so well. Enjoyed every moment.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING, BROTHER, SIR ! A true American Champion from the days that he sat in Saint Quentin main room, on his bench, listening the the Great JOHNNY CASH CONCERT! He said that THAT has changed his life. I LOVE THEM, BOTH !!

Janie Frickie ..."made" many duets...she was a master of just the right touch to each song....

Merle and Fricke made a forever landmark

Never stayed in a bar that didn't have the man that wrote my life. Thank you my old friend.

AROUND ABOUT THIS DAY, IN 1985, THIS SONG HIT # 1~~~R.I.P. MERLE

I miss him immensely. He sang from his soul and gave us his heart

anyone who has been encountered a loss, including a wife or loved one that have passed away suddenly. a song that makes me cry, i love your songs Merle with all my heart. one of the best music artists of all time.R.I.P Merle

the hag,,,greatest of the great

I fell apart the day you left us Merle, Could listen to you the entire day! Sleep well !

Never heard this song before, just wonderful. She just keeps coming in at the right time, bringing back so many memories listening to Merle and Willie Nelson 😪 I am following this with A Moment of Forever, I'm in heaven! Memories are so precious. I have loved these two since I was fourteen years old along with lots of others. Didn't we have some of the best Country singers x

I can't tell you how many times I've watched and listened to this. I can so relate to the heartache of this song from a relationship long ago with a guy who throughout his life has been afraid of getting too close to those that love him. Every now and then he still contacts me - even after 37 years.

Merle never disappoints.

I love the sound of Merle Haggards voice and Lyrics to all his songs, just Fantastic.

i first heard this song while driving down a country road under a full moon, i had yo pull over and stop, i thought the tears would never end

COUNTRY MUSIC AT ITS BEST , Two legends , Merle AND Janie , make it look so easy

If only the world's politicians would listen to this beautiful young lady singing and realize that we live in a beautiful world full of beautiful people who all want the same thing. Love and peace. Thank you again and take care

Hag is gone,but his music will be with us forever! RIP MERLE and Thanks!

I bless the AirForce for sending me to TX in 1971.... OMG did I learn about great music.

How can one make Merle Haggard greater than Merle Haggard? Possibly the only way is to add some supporting voice from the wonderful Janie Fricke. Miss you, Merle; but the legacy you left does not leave me with enough time to replay all you gave us. Thank you.

AS I miss Merle for a year now I thank God For KZfaq As I watch and Listen to This Great Real Country Artist Its LIke He will Always be with us I can see his sons will never let us forget him thanks Noel And Ben And rest in Peace Merle.

Merle and Miss Janie. Masterful country music. Enough said folks.

I heard this song yesterday for the first time. Unputdownable song.

Hag’s voice was particularly sweet on this performance… Superb!

I love this song it's got true words when I here Meryl haggard s voice I think about my life I wish there was a place to let go all the bad things that's happened there 50 people who put thumbs down there is true words from every country collection there is no lies in any of the greatest singer's ever so don't give thumbs down where is the respect that they deserve they have got more fans with thumbs up and there brilliant thank you so much for the greatest singer's here s to absent singers family and friends I miss you all from roberta

So very beautiful! Merle says Thank God during the song. Janie's voice is that of an angel.

WHAT can I say? Its the HAG! GLORIOUS VOICE that melts me as,always!😍

This is one of my most favorite songs that Merle sang..Janie Frickie is just a doll..Oh what to do...I miss him so..One of the many and the only male singer that really touched my heart..

Merle Haggard is one of America's greatest songwriter singer poets for the working man and women will never ever a voice like his will ever come along again RIP "THE HAG"

Love this song. Will always Love and cherish Merle Haggard. It’s like he’s singing from out of my heart. One true Spirit. Mucho love Merle!

Fantastic ole' country song w/ feelings. WOW her background voice; like a perfect angel; amazing!! Her voice could control me! She's beautiful!!

Thank you Merle for fifty years of wonderful memories. There will never be another that touched so many lives.

One of my favorites and Janie makes this song extra special..think of my late wife when I hear it...

Janie! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL vocals!! You are not remembered just for those though! I have never seen you give a bad interview, or throw your reputation in any way. You're a fine example of an upstanding woman, with talent! Thanks for the memories ... you too Merle!!

When an experienced, professional & talented musician sings, they do it with soo much ease and it just sounds sweet

There will never be another Merle Haggard. RIP MERLE MISS YOU FOREVER.

Loved him! Is truly missed! Miss this kind of music.

One of my many favorites of Merles! Janie is a talent all of her own also! Love them both!

Genuine Country & real Western music a total hallmark of the great Merle Haggard and rare in the modern C.C. country crap of today !!!

First off, to the people experiencing this live at this moment...I hope you know how big a moment it was. Secondly, it feels like Merle demands you listen to him because he's telling the truth. Those eyes seem to focus on a few from the crowd but really it's on everyone. Best artist ever

Thankyou old friend for the great music and times,R.I.P, now Merle.

That is real country music, Thanks merle and janie

I wish I could thank Ray for singing what my broken heart feels everyday since my good friend left us

Beautiful. enhanced by the dulcet tones of Janie!

These older country singers could really sing some touching and beautiful sentiments about love. Sometimes when men are younger it is rough to see if they have a heart at the time, but sure enough they do. We need more country singers with these old-time feelings. It really pulls it out of you.

Excellent country is what we all expect from the Hag. Excellence is what we get. Each and every time. No hip pop bull crap here. R.I.P. Merle you leave behind many precious memories. mos60

No One will ever fill Merle's or Janie's shoes, Love them both. Rest in Peace Merle.

Very beautiful 😍❤ 🎶🎵

This and "He Stopped Loving Her Today" are the two best C & W songs I've ever heard.

❤❤. I Love Merle Haggard ❤❤

Many consider George Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today” the saddest country song. And it deserves all the accolades it’s received over the years. Truly one of country’s great pieces. But to me, this is hands down the saddest song, of any genre, ever!

Janie has such an awesome voice. She used to sing in commercials before making it big.

One of his zillion best songs. Miss him every day.

Been looking for that place for a long time ,I have just done it in every day life

Superb voice has Ol’ Merle Haggard. R.I.P.

Absolutely beautiful song from two great Singers.

Merle Haggard, Love this Song. Know how it feels. Love you Merle n Miss you very much. RIP

Reminds me of "Whose Gonna Fill their Shoes?" Recon nobody can fill Merle's shoes.

When breakup songs were written and sang right!

Merle's voice never got old! One of clearest ever.

Dedicate this to my husband who past away recently, Miss you so much my Love''

This was a great show Merle put on with The Strangers..well..whats left of them..Great stuff here.

Merle Haggard. One of the best. Love your beautiful. Songs

+Lord this man can sing..We are all in a better place because of his talent and can associate with all of his songs, which he sings with conviction

had never heard thiis song before earlier today down here in Tasmania and must say it must been one of the Hags best ever. What a loss he was!
