They never were together, the just sang as a duet, nothing more! No one ☝🏻 in country music ever crossed those lines nor ever cheated with their spouses just because, they were a duet that doesn’t mean they were a couple having some sort of a affair and, nor were they a couple, it simply is a put on act like Bradley Cooper stated because, you want your audience to buy into the song and, feel it! The only duet that was together as a couple, ended up getting married and, that was George and Tammy! That’s like when, Olivia Newton -John and Cliff Richards sang together it was just them singing together and that was it, even when, she sang with Leo Sayer it wasn’t because, her and Cliff were made at each other or having some kind of disagreement, that’s just how it happened to be sometimes. All these duets have admitted though they are simply no more than friends with each other! Loretta Lynn and, Conway T. admitted that their families and, spouses do things with each other such as went on family vacations and, one of her granddaughters married one of Conway’s sons and, they sing together now as duet!

That’s because, once Ralph Emery stepped out of all of his hosting duties, Bill Anderson stepped into host the Family Reunions, and, it’s always appropriate to make sure they have proper seating to attend their hosting duties! It wouldn’t make sense to put a host in the back with the band where he couldn’t see no one, how dippy would that be? Lol Simple Common Sense, Makes Simple Common Sense!

I think she is a fablous singer and luvly performer

Dorn Tennis d

Jim Ed Brown is dead.

@@twinkletoes.9968 But he was alive 6 years ago when Dorn Tennis commented that. He died in 2015. The comment was from 2014.

Like butter

I'm old but this is how I feel too.

Jim Ed and Helen Cornelius were a duet from the early to mid 70s by the early eighties they started fizzling out and they weren’t even making that many public appearances on shows as a duet! If you heard their songs on country radio in the 90s which they do that, they will play classic country music songs from time to time but, they now have radio stations/ satellite stations or internet radio that play the classics 24/ 7.

I agree 100%.

Agree

I was thinking the same thing, especially Jean Shepards look.

Jim is, obviously, still really attracted to Helen.

Nope, don’t read nothing into it or assume things, they were just a country music duet and, nothing more! There was never assumed cheating on each other spouses or none of that, people in country music have never done that , people start assuming things in their head and, that’s how these nasty supposedly rumors are put out there, it’s all not true, it’s a all flat out false rumor! The only duet in country music that were romantically involved we’re married which was George and Tammy!

what ever

9h

Who airs their husbands private matters after he dies and he has no chance to tell his side. That is so mean and vile. How does he defend himself. Religious she is…I think not!!!

Well, if it’s in a book, it would have been before his death but, I don’t believe it neither, it’s a delusion that people think that these duet partners are having affairs on their spouses, they never have done the such and, they will tell you so, that’s how it was in country music, everyone assumed when, they sang with a someone it was,well, why aren’t they singing with their spouse and, why are they singing with someone else! Well, they didn’t understand the fact their spouse didn’t necessarily want to sing professionally, it was them and, they writers and, the producers along with their managers pairs them up with whoever they think that person would work best for them. Loretta Lynn always said,they always had fans accusing them of having a affair. All these duet partners have admitted to on all the country music shows in the 70s and, 80s that they never had affairs behind their spouses back, nor have they ever cheated on them, they said, their Christian Faith and their Faith in God would never allow them to do such a thing and, they have admitted to loving their spouses too much to ever want to destroy that Union and their family unit. Now, goodness we know Jim Ed and Helen Cornelius looked at times on stage like a married couple and, there might have been others but, George and Tammy were married! But, the thing was it was nothing more than a friendship! Heck, Bradley Cooper said, it’s like your acting and, it’s nothing more than, that you are trying to make it look real for the audience!

​@@beverlywaite9492 agree completely -cldnt say it better myself

Hello Kathy

No, they were a duet for many yrs throughout the 70s and 80s, do your research, they simply were a country music duet, there never was no love affair and, neither one ever cheated on their spouses! People want to believe that was so, but, it never was, especially in country music. The only country music duet that we’re sleeping together was George Jones and, Tammy Wynette and, that’s because, they were married! Aka/ duets aren’t paired up because, they been together, recording executives team them up together and, the people that get paired up together don’t usually have a choice in the matter and, these 2 didn’t! Again do your research before jumping to conclusions!

Oh yes there was. Look it up. He left his wife for awhile. But then went back!

@@kathyrorie4400 nope, you look it up and, you will find absolutely nothing, the assumed affair that people would have you believe is a completely false rumor that someone assumed and put in their head!

His wife even stated that had an affair with Helen.

Jim Ed was ill here and it probably wasnt easy for Helen as at the end of the song they were out of sync. That wldnt hve happened back in the day!!

Thanks. I wondered. :-)
