No electronic vocal enhancement- just pure voices, awesome instrumentals, composers and absolutely no low cut outfits needed. Just their pure talent! ❤🇨🇦
I had the great joy of seeing the Rankins a few times, I'm from Inverness county, Cape Breton, as well. They're our pride and joy here, along with John Allen Cameron. Timeless Celtic music!
Absolutely stunningly beautiful.......haven't been home in 2 years....just made a 6 minute and 42 second trip....thank you so much Raylene,Heather,Cookie Jimmy, John Morris and of course Howie MacDonald
I for one would queue up to buy a Rankin Family Compilation DVD. They were fantastic and so unassuming. I don't think they realised how amazing they were.
Amazing does not even begin to describe their singing I am privileged to sing a couple of their pieces with a choir that is presenting Celtic songs this springs
I’m English and proud but I’m proud of Ireland more they accepted me when I moved there and the people are just amazing helpful happy friendly people I wish I was Irish
I remember watching this on the TV back then. The Rankin Family then toured Scotland and we were lucky enough to see them at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness.
Same here. I have 4 of their CD's. The one currently in my car's player has both those songs on it. My grandkids request I play the CD especially Belle of Belfast whenever they are in my car.
Check out Cookie's facial expression toward Howie @ 1:25:00 not exactly the friendliest for sure. I'm not sure Cookie was a big fan to say the least though I could be wrong. It has happened once before I just can't remember when
This is a fantastic; I remember seeing it on TV. Any chance you have an excerpt from the same performance that includes the Gaelic song Chi Mi na Mòrbheanna? I would love to see that performance again.

Molly Rankin’s dad shredding on that fiddle…🔥🔥🔥 And her aunts…😍😍😍
A'ye:
But that's Howie MacDonald on fiddle with John Morris Rankin playing piano.
Grew up with these guys...a party isn't a party with out "Feel the Same way too"
Literally my childhood.
Same!
Yes! My grandmother was from Cape Breton. As a child, she and I would watch all the specials on The Rankins as well as other Cape Breton musicians. ❤

Thanks very much irish piepols🤗🤗!
Brings good memories.. Keep rockin Rankin's!
Agreed brother:)
A minor correction, the name of the song is actually "Tell My Ma".
The abashed look on Cookie's face when her transition ended up flat was priceless. lol
i know and her brother is so sweet , watching over her as she does her solo, i just love the love!
Cookie's unpredictability was always a big part of her charm.
I am sad and happy . You Rankins made and still make music from the Heart.
One of my fav songs from childhood!❤
I saw this wonderful group from the East Coast beautiful and their music is a gift from GOD
I love these people. Such talent!

Wishing that Schools taught Gaelic here.
They started again in Scotland a few years ago teaching the language , thank God for that .
This is a fantastic; I remember seeing it on TV. Any chance you have an excerpt from the same performance that includes the Gaelic song Chi Mi na Mòrbheanna? I would love to see that performance again.
Great what else can you say
Which one died middle, left or right ???
The pianist I think.
+Mike Keenan yeah but which girl
Not sure. Wasn't aware that any of them (other than John Morris) had died until I saw this.
Middle
She has a name, it's Raylene Rankin.
Blessed Be Raylene and Rankins.
Only 3 surviving Rankins: Cookie, Heather and Jimmy.
QuasarDiamond cookie past away too
Cookie is very much alive and healthy today. Heather is promoting her solo music as well as Jimmy.
Saw Heather this fall at Celtic Colours Festival.
From this lineup, there were 12 siblings to begin with.
John Morris’s daughter Molly has become fairly well known in the indie rock world over the last few years via her band Alvvays.
Ahhh I had the biggest crush on Jimmy
How many of them are surviving. I think it surely sucks that the good die young. Maybe their children will make great music, too. It's in the blood.
There are three of them left.
Look up Alvvays
