When I was 12, still in Primary school my folks bought me a small boxy looking transistor radio for my Birthday, I was delighted with it, it was a gateway to the world, I listened to it every night in bed. I distinctly remember this song coming on, and how great a song it was. That was 1971. I can still remember the smell of it when it warmed up, Strange what 1 song can do to you,

Lovely song

TUNE ❤

Hangover Sunday … decided to play this song on repeat most of the day through my AirPods. Had to blame my puffy eyes in hayfever. Takes me back. Don’t know where we lost humanity but we did but it somehow lives in us still. World changed too much lately and this song makes me ache for the old days to return so my kids can life that way. I’m an R&B girl but this is in my top 5 all time. That line makes me sob ….

La cd mex de noche impresionante, Guanajuato Magico de noche,san Miguel de Allende, Cancún de noche, Vallarta de noche, Zacatecas de noche,los cabos de noche, Veracruz de noche, Oaxaca de noche,y así podría nombrar Miles de hermosos lugares de nuestro bello y bendecido país 🇲🇽

I hear this song first time in titles of Ozark serial. Its so nice and peaceful composition.❤

I am from the UK and in this song I see a man chasing the American dream. So intern he is hard working and the thing that keeps him going is his love for his woman. The sad thing is the American dream is just a carrot on a string. If you do make it to the top there is no grantee of happiness.

I love this song always think of my dad he was a lineman 39 years

I thank God for Jimmy Webb what an incredibly gifted man who had so much heartbreak he wrote about it. His music has been a huge part of my life since my Father would play The 5th Dimension Margic Garden album when i was just a baby..Webb's music has been with me ever since. I'm 54 now. Thank you Jimmy Webb and my Father 🙏

Heard this while watching ozark s2 e9.. Wow

Who is listening in 2024😀

A piece of tranquility from a generation past. The man makes his claim. He loves her from afar. He has his job, which is to love her from a distance prescribed, and carry on. I can't try to relate this to 21st century.

Petty Officers messman alone when all the P.O.,s were at work this was one of my favourite songs 👍

Thank you Michael Ball for paying tribute to Steve Wright in keeping his program alive and carrying on the baton to the future. And playing this song as “The Last Dance.” Steve Wright would be proud of you for it.

6-9-2024. I need to take a road trip with this song playing over and over. Any peaceful soul care to join me?.Not kidding

My dad worked as a lineman for Hawaiian Electric in the 60, when I was a kid and I remember seeing him on the poles . He moved us to Oregon in 1970 and worked for PGE in all kinds of weather not climbing poles but maintaining transformers until his death in 1998. He loved this song and I often play it to think about him climbing those poles!

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Hauntingly beautiful

Took me a bit to get to get through ❤😊

I grew up in Tucson and boy did I love this song 🎸🚙💫😢

This is weird but I’ve asked my family to play this song at mt funeral. I’m not sure why, but ir has to do with I need you more than want you.

Wow qué hermosa melodia que nos transporta en el tiempo.... sentimientos encontrados... feliz,triste...no sé mi vida pasa en estas notas...me hacen sentir muy feliz,pero triste a la vez ....amo ésta melodía...

Perfection 💯👏👏👏👏 The masterpiece of music genius Barry White blending classic violins and funky guitars the loveliest 70s piece ever 😭🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️

My sister recently told me this was my dad's favourite song he died in 1972 when i was a baby now i get emotional when i hear it. 😢

I am a lineman for the county And I drive the main road Searchin' in the sun for another overload I hear you singing in the wire I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line I know I need a small vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows that stretch down south Won't ever stand the strain And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line

Thank you for the hard work! You all are appreciated! God Bless!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG

Wonderful, insightful video. Jimmy Webb from our Elk City, Oklahoma. Insightful writer, as well.

My father loved this song and yes he was a linesman as we called them in Australia back then in the 60"s.

Used to hear this when we traveled when I was little, around 1968 or so. Loved it as a little boy and still do on the other side of 60

Brilliant song, great singer

Love❤

My very favorite GC song

Merci à Art Mengo de m’avoir permis de connaître cette magnifique chanson (France inter le 29/04/2024 13h55)

This song makes me think of my parents and grandparents. They're all long gone now😢

Once upon a time, there was an ordinary lineman who lived in Wichita, Kansas. He was corn-fed. He fell in love with the admiral's daughter. However, she was engaged to some British officer. The Wichita lineman was broken-hearted.

I grew up 20 miles outside Wichita. When this song was released in 1967, it would be playing on the radio, on a record player, on a Public Announcement system, or in an advertisement at least once every 15 minutes. It's such an excellent song that it still sounds great after being overplayed. Those lush, vivid colors of the Kansas sky in the video make me homesick. Kansas is the most beautiful place that I ever lived.

Carlos pls don’t ever delete this

2024 😂

Allá en el cielo, Gracias Barry White!!

Best GC song, and one of the best songs ever recorded, in my opinion.

One of the best videos I have ever seen to go with this Timeless song! This song is so representative of many of us out here working in all types of weather to maintain the electrical and communications network during some very difficult times

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

You Need Nerves Of Steel To Be A Lineman😊

Hauntingly beautiful, eternal, and a classic song.
