How did I miss this interview back in the day? Thank you so much for posting this! I've never seen her this raw before in an interview. She is truly amazing! She is the Queen of Country Music!!
Barbara was like the 'Carrie Underwood' of her day. Most candid interview I've ever seen of her. Geraldo being a journalist really got her to open up. Fascinating personality on this woman, multifaceted. I never realized until recently how similar Barbara and Dolly Parton were, in how driven they both were, and their shrewdness. I notice Dolly and Barbara both listen very intently when being asked questions, with a very serious look on their faces!
She knows her heart ♥️ & that her precious Savior lives in the center of that place. She prays, trusts & forages onward with a mighty stamina. She’s the best of the best in the Country Music industry
I wonder how many ppl have been to her concerts that were atheists and heard her acknowledge and give praise to God and sing gospel songs, and knew where she stood with her relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and stayed until the concert was over.
BARBARA YOUR THE MOST TALENTED ARTIST IN COUNTRY MUSIC AND MY VERY FAVORITE SONG THAT YOU SING IS I WAS COUNTRY WHEN COUNTRY WASNT COOL WHY BECAUSE IM YOU EXACTLEY IN THIS SONG MY LITTLE BROTHER TOLD ME THAT IM A TWIN OF YOU EXACTEY SAME BLONDE HAIR DO AND EXACTLEY THE SAME HEIGHT SAME SHOE SIZE HOW SOOO REAL IS ❤ THAT GOD ❤ PUT US ❤TOGETHER FOR A REASON GODS ❤ BLESSINGS TO ❤ YOU DEAR SWEET ❤ BARARA MY DEAR FRIEND ❤ ILL LOVE ❤💙 YOU FOREVER AS ❤ MY VERY DEAREST FRIEND
I would walk barefoot to anywhere in America to see her come back just one night.I was born just a couple years too late to really appreciate her until after she'd retired.
She is very genuine, honest, stunning, a music genius, strong, intelligent, gutsy and confident. She knows her gifts were given from God above, and honors/respects her gifts. 😊 She and Dolly are awesome and great friends!❤ (Geraldo can be a very insensitive host. He kept interrupting her and to say she was too busy to raise her first two was rude. She had them with her all the time, a wonderful husband, parents and sisters thst helped her. You can tell she was uncomfortable with his questions/style.)
@Doug McComas I think i now know your connection. You played with Barbara. That is you behind her after the Jimmy Carter segment isnt it? What a blessing to you and for Ms Barbara ❤
BARBARA YOUR TRUELEY GODS SENT MIRICLE TO COUNTRY MUSIC AND ALL OF THE PUBLIC MUSIC LISTENERS OMG IM SOOO AMAZED THAT WE TWO HAVE THE EXACT SAME HAIR DOOS AND THE SAME SHOE SIZE AND THE SAME HEIGHT AND I WAS BORN ON A FARM ONE OF 13 CHILDREN IN 1953 AND I FIANALLY GOT TO ❤ GO TO THE GROCERY STORE ❤ WITH MY PARENTS AND COKES WHERE SMALL GLASS BOTTLES FOR 5 CENTS AND ❤ AND I WOULD DRINK A LITTLE BIT ❤ AND THEN POUR MY PEANUTS IN MY COKE THAT ❤WAS IN 1958 GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU BARBARA ❤ MY FAITH ❤ IN GOD IS THE SAME AS YOURS I WILL ALWAYS LOVE 💘 YOU
I had NO IDEA Barbara Mandrell was on Geraldo. That’s really wild. God I adored - still and will always adore that woman. Disturbing to see Geraldo purposely bringing up extremely painful, personal things that BM is obviously resisting and uncomfortable with- I had forgotten how his show operated, how he spoke to guests, the blech-type q’s the slimy flirtation &why I didn’t watch it. Really glad she used it as a platform for seatbelt advocacy. We forget how car safety/seat belts/kids car seats etc were NOT common or even nonexistent. But I do not like Geraldo or this interview style.
I'm thankful that we have the ability to watch things like this anytime and as many times as we want. I love Barbara Mandrell and her family. ❤️
I LOVE her speaking voice. It's so beautiful.. She has just the right amount of raspiness and calm.

Beautiful woman and i loved the show they ( sisters ) had.
I wonder how many ppl have been to her concerts that were atheists and heard her acknowledge and give praise to God and sing gospel songs, and knew where she stood with her relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and stayed until the concert was over.
Such a beautiful person inside and out.

She is so beautiful in this clip. I love Barbara. I want her back in music. SHE IS THE BEST!
So talented and beautiful Wish she still made music
I would walk barefoot to anywhere in America to see her come back just one night.I was born just a couple years too late to really appreciate her until after she'd retired.
I saw her in concert more than 40 times! She was one of a kind!

It's hard to watch Barbara relive some moments, especially the accident and personal moments.

❤ what a gracious lady vs the creepiest guy ever
Where is Barbara now?
She retired from the music business in 1997 and still lives in the Nashville area. She rarely makes public appearances anymore.
@@dougmccomas3073 How does she spend her time?
@@dougmccomas3073 Sad and understandable. Grew up watching her shows.
Are you from CLEVELAND ? WJW TV 8 ! I am from CLEVELAND !
Beautiful lady and so very amazingly talented. Geraldo Rivera has as much talent as a stone. No tact, no class at all. Cannot stand this guy.
Coke-cola and peanuts are great!
I am so sick of people saying it's in the book .
Dolly will always be the best ever.
