Two kindred spirits now joined. Eternity rejoices as we weep. But our tears are temporary. Memories last. Thank you, John and Nanci.

In April 1984, I was working as a concierge at the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City. I answered a call from a guest's room, and the man on the other end asked where he could get a bottle of whiskey. I told him that was a bit complicated in Salt Lake City, but I offered to get one for him. I walked a few blocks to the state liquor store and delivered the bottle to his room. When the door opened, I realized it was John Prine. I said, "you're John Prine." He said, "that's right." Told him I was a big fan. He said, "do you want to come to the show tonight?" He was playing at Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the U of Utah. I said, "are you kidding." What a show. What a songwriter. What a body of music he created. Thank you, John, for the many memories -- and for a great show in April 1984.

RIP Nanci Griffith today. Now you and John can sing this duet with the angels.

Just turned 76 in March. I can get pretty discouraged about the state of the world these days. Then this.....I have been so fortunate to have lived in the times that I have. The two angels added so much beauty to my life.

The intimacy of this as they both use the same mic. Leaning into loneliness. They are doing a duet for angels today. RIP, Texas girl.

Heard John passed today, Tuesday, April 7, 2020. This one really hurts. RIP John.....and thank you for the miles of smiles. You were one of a kind.

John told me "There's no feeling like knowing you have a killer song in your pocket and you're the only one who's ever heard it."

The two of them reunited again. RIP

Nanci is so tickled to be singing this song with John. We should all be so lucky to have someone look at us & smile the way she does him ~

She's got a million dollar smile that could melt your heart! ❤

His voice has been silenced - his memory resides in his songs which will be remembered and enjoyed for generations to come.

The young folks who are watching and listening to this video, take this piece of advice: STAY YOUNG!

How am I just discovering this man who is obviously speaking to me. 😢

How did he do it. I mean, he has to play the guitar, sing and look into Nancis eyes - AT THE SAME TIME. Superhuman strength that is.

Beautiful, just beautiful, two gems sadly missed.

It’s John’s song but Nanci raises it to a different level. Just a guitar and two brilliant voices. Simple but crazy harmony.

Two all-time legends now both gone. It hurts my heart. RIP John. RIP Nanci. You always stood me still. 💔

You come home straight and you come home curly. Only John writes lines like this. Such a treasure.

He left us today...this world was blessed by his gifts to us and we have lost a one and only....

I was enjoying this duet when I unexpectedly realized I had tears in my eyes. Miss you guys, lots.

What a show they're going to see in Heaven tonight! RIP Nanci!

It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. That's the way that the world goes round. Rest in peace, John.

“these days your face, in my memory…is in the frozen hands of grace against these times…” I don’t think I really understood those words until she became a beautiful memory

I had the distinct pleasure of woking with Nancy on her LP; Live from the Anderson Cohnty Fair. She was a kind, friendly, caring, and gracious soul! RIP, Nancy!

John Prine, the man, the legend. I believe God finally said, "COME HOME SON, I WANT YOU PLAYING IN THE BIG HOUSE".

John came into my life in 1971, never been without him since.

Can't believe they are both gone now. So sad. May you both be reunited now and sing together in Heaven. Rest in peace John and Nanci. Thank you both for all your beautiful music. May you both enjoy your Heaven rewards for sharing the gifts God gave you both.x

I had never heard of this cute baby faced singer till just recently , because of the Corona virus , can't believe that i have missed out on this talent since forever , I'm 70 years old . Thanks to KZfaq , hopefully i can catch up , cheers every one , keep safe xxxxx

John Prine! Clearly one of the greatest songwriters of all time! And Nancy Griffith, what a voice!!!

Nanci and John together, what a beautiful pair! Two Angels!

Thumbs down for 2%? Can you imagine someone so void of poetry and music in their soul?

You know that feeling when someone dies...someone you've never met but you feel like you have. Someone who's always just been there waiting for you to catch up...someone who's influenced you and inspired you and done more for you than you could have ever imagined...that was John Prine. I feel like I'm drowning...

If you listen carefully to the wind you can hear them singing together up there in heaven.

As much as it hurts to lose him, there is some Comfort in knowing his songs are timeless. John was one of a kind

Was lucky enough to see both live, in different years, at Celtic Connections in Glasgow - fabulous. Such a loss.

I used to get drunk n cry to this song . 40 years listening to John . 15 years sober . Foster parent to 4. Grandkids. Laughed n cried to Prines lyrics n rhythms. Still can. Thanks John could tell what a nice guy you were too...

I wonder how many songs John had in his pocket when he left us to start his rock and roll band in heaven

RIP, you and John are playing together again.

We are all so lucky that they came to our world at the same time.

Nanci passed today, very sad, I hope she and John are serenading the angels

Life just got a little more empty. Thanks for the good music and times you gave us.

John was such an humble, shy artist, live with big healthproblems last years. He needed rest and got it. Whats left is.. " sound of lonelyness..".

John was rocking the mullet and Nancy had the voice of an angel. RIP LEGENDS 😢

Sure miss John. He never got the recognition he deserved. A musical genius.

If only music was more like this today,raw and real and talented..

Poor John passed away today. The world will miss him!

Nanci has one of the greatest smiles in the world. Very nice. Old John Prine.

Very few songs are sung with such heart and sincerity and personal experience, and this one reaches me deep inside like no others. Two more souls departed into the eternal light. How I love both John and Nancy.

John Prine. This artist touched my soul. I loved him like I knew him and he knew me. Neither was true. It hardly matters. John Prine the most human human.

John Prine - Story teller. The gentle voice of my generation. Thanks for the music, John. You will never be forgoteen.

When John passed I took some solace that Nanci would still sing his songs. Nanci has followed and it's up to us now.

Bless those two. The word is a poorer place without them. Best regards.

The most beautiful ballad ever written..nothing touches John Prine he was a true gift from god..lovely duet here,

Three of the biggest love affairs I've had in my life, Nancy, John, and this song. Never seen a more beautiful women, a wiser man, or a song that portrayed my life closer. RIP my beloved friends.

I miss John Prine. I love this song like I love what’s left of my heart…entirely.

John was a fantastic song writer. Nancy is an amazing singer. She makes this song pop. My wife wants to know when I will get over my crush on Ms Griffith. I told her some day. She laughed.

RIP Nanci...with a tear in my eye

In some ways some people live forever John Prine is definitely one of them

Lost them both in one year. Rest in peace both of you with Steve Goodman.

How sad is it that we have lost these two beautiful people...

John was a very special kind of human being who went through a lot of suffering and wrote about it on the other side. We are all better for him having been in our lives. We love and miss you John Prine.😢🙃

First, John left us, now Nanci...just devastated!! They were both so talented, beautiful, soulful, lovely people..they will be forever missed. Now they will sing for the angels in heaven...bless their souls!!

Ive been listening to nancy for a long time i really miss her rip nancy

Love Nancy Griffith and John Prine 🎵🎶✨✨✨✨

Tonight they're singing this together in heaven.

Wow from Ireland a genuine top person.I drank for 3 days with John In Lisdoonvarna rural West of Ireland I played a bodhran for his new song "song of Lonlyness "A gentleman of epic proportions to here he lost his life to Covid hurt me immensely ,beautiful person John from 🇮🇪 🇮🇪

It was sad the way she passed away .I’ve had a crush on her forever. RIP Nancy, and John . Wonderful talents who remain in our memories

...two of my faves-----sad--she was such a cutie, and good 'ole Handsome Johnny. Glad we've got these few songs of them together--sure wish they'd done their full album together.

John was an incredible song writer and his performances were intimate! If you don’t know Nanci Griffith, she too was a brilliant song writer and had a beautiful voice. She was less known than John but wort getting to know throughput KZfaq and other online music venues! I will add another genius singer-song writer, who deserves more recognition, but on occasion crossed paths with both Nanci and John and that is Guy Clark!

Both are among the greats of our era , what a song !!! They will live on in our hearts !!!

Such a crying shame to lose these two , it hurts R.I.P

Two beautiful souls together again. 💔💔💔

John loved doing duets with female singers and this is a prime example. Every time I hear another John Prine song it becomes my latest current favourite. Nanci is perfect in this setting and has recording a couple of terrific duet albums in her own right. Miss you, John.

With all due respect. .. what in heavens name have I done...God b less Mr prine.thanks for the post

Oh sh!t! Nanci singing harmony to some damn soulful lyrics written by a bad-ass poet. Like Woodstock, or the great train robbery. What a moment in time! Wish i’da been there. RIP the two of youse

Oh, I didn't expect to cry this time

The world is still turning, but John and Nanci made it great while they were here !… I miss them greatly but their music keeps them in my head. RIP to them and bless their families.

now they're both beautiful talented angels... gone way too damn soon

I have a feeling they are together in heaven, and singing this song.

The pleasure and joy on Nanci's face says it all. A disgrace the world of Country Music couldn't even spare a few seconds to pay their respects to him. That was song alone ,deserved that. Shame on them and their egos.

We can only hope that John knows we will be listening to and singing his songs forever and ever.

RIP Mr. Prine. Your music will live forever.

Ecstacy! I met a nice young lady at a Prine show in Lexington KY at the Opera House many years ago. This was her song, what she came to see. She was an elementary school teacher. Always wondered how she came out.

My favorite JP duet!!! ♥️

I feel blessed to have seen them both perform live though not together. Two of the best singer songwriters and storytellers of all time.

John left us today. He also left us all those beautiful songs that we tearfully played and sang tonight. His good soul lives on in his music. Thanks, John

Heaven is a better place tonight, with Nanci Griffith and John Prine up there together. The world lost such talent with the both of you. God Speed, Nanci as you move forward on your journey. You will be missed.

John has passed away. Thank you for all the wonderful music.

Ahhhh. What a beautiful song sung by two beautiful souls. Nanci’s passing today brought back a lot of memories of John’s passing too. Miss you both!

Two great artists, who will not be replaced easily. A generation of players who made music an art and a craft. Marvelous !!

One of the most beautiful duets of all time. Two beautiful souls, one mic, gorgeous song, melodic guitar. Doesn't get any better.

Beautiful song makes me good

I’m very sad about Nanci, and this duet Is so sad, but also heartwarming in that they were able to share their talents and their great public personalities with us, and may they both sing forever.

Such a beautiful duet between two of our favorite talent. You can feel the love.

Both John (RIP) and Nanci are/were great singer/songwriters. We are blessed to have had them.

We all miss john. It is almost too painful to listen to him. He has been singing to me for such a long time. a veteran's friend.

I have always loved this song. RIP brother.

May her memory be a blessing. Forever in my heart. May they meet up and sing with the angels!

How can we lose these two souls and Keith Richards get 4 lifetimes. #lifenotfair

What wonderful songs he left us. I hope a new generation will discover him again, and love him like we did.
