Such a sweet song! My folks loved each other for 50 years.. shortly before my daddy's passing (and my folks 50th wedding anniversary)... I miss you dearly, Mommy and Daddy. And by the way, they were the BEST parents in the whole wide world! I am soooooo blessed! Thank you God for giving them to me~
My mom made me call a radio station and request this song once. The deejay asked me how old I was and I told him 13, and he said "And you're calling to request that dirty song?" When he got back on the radio he said my name and then "I don't know about these 13 yr olds anymore!" That was 33 years ago and I still love this song. Thanks, Mom!
My mum and dad . Skint in Blackpool. Hopped on a bus upstairs and found a blanket on the back seat and cuddled. I love their story . Different songs means different meanings..
One of the biggest hits in Country Music History! This song was No. 1 in the USA in 1975 for many, many weeks! I loved all of her music! She was a huge influence in Country Music Worldwide!
hey dayday, i was there too. i only went to see Lena Martell coz shes been my favourite singer forever. It was a good nights entertainment to see Lena sing One day at a time and Billie Jo sing Blanket on the ground all in one show, eventhough theyve lost the power in their voices i still enjoyed it.
This was my mums favourite song ever she passed over 5 yrs ago sat here crying i will never get over it im 55 blubbing like a small child i miss her so much this song does remind me of all the good times but dam it really hurts
A real singer who has real talent. Thanks for posting this. I love this old song too. The way music is today, Billie Jo would never see a recording booth because she isn't 22, with a figure like Barbie, wearing a skirt up to her crotch and five pounds of makeup on her face.
Brilliant. What a great song by Billy jo spears. Rest in peace my beautiful singer. You will be remembered for years to come with this great hit. I hope everyone agree with me.
I haven't heard this song for quite some time until I heard someone singing it yesterday on karoake so I just had to look it up on UA-cam. Always liked this song ever since I first heard it in the 70s. Thx for sharing.
This song always gets me! I mean in a good way. A song that when you first hear it reaches deep down inside you and just holds you there. Excellent combination of lyrics and music!
Sad to hear she's passed on. She was a graet favourite of mine back in the 70's. Just bought a cd of her hits after getting back listening to her stunning voice on you tube..Fred McLarty
A #1 hit for Billie Jo Spears on the Country & Western charts. It was the 336th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #2 on the Canadian C&W charts and #6 in the United Kingdom. It would be the only #1 of her career. My cousin had a large C&W record collection and her version of Harper Valley PTA was one of them.
We played this at my aunts funeral 2 weeks ago , she lost her husband 8 months prior , I bet they're so happy now . Rest in peace aunt Margo and uncle Noel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm 49 yrs old now & these classics from the 70s are SO GREAT!!! I remember riding around with my dad when I was around 9 yrs old in 1978 in Dothan Alabama in a 1972 Chevy C/10 L.W.B. p/u truck...307 V8...3spd on the column...no a/c...both windows rolled down. We would ride down old country back roads & listen to the country classics of the 70s on his 8-Track. I remember him telling me..."one day I'm gonna give you this truck"...in 1985 when I was 16 I got that old truck & was so PROUD of it. I drove it to high school in 85-86. I really miss that old truck but I miss my dad even more!!!!
7 years now mum I miss you every hour of the day. I'm so glad I got to share a special day with you when you got to see your favourite singer in real life. Xx
ust saw her tonight on her 2011 Ladies of Country Tour in the UK, at Tunbridge Wells. Her voice is still huge but there's next to nothing left of the lady herself. She doesn't look too well I'd say, so get to see her while you can. This song made me cry...even more poignant when sung by someone whose blanket days are long behind them...
One of the many talented singers ever and Beaumont tx has gave us some of the best in the business and we are very proud of Billie jo spears for her music she gave us and 2022 still listening to the old country music when country was country and what Nashville is doing today ain't country
Great song, sung by one of the greatest if somewhat underrated Billie Jo Spears. One of her biggest fans in Britain was Ann Robinson who regularly played her songs when she had a programme on Radio 2. I love the way Billy Jo is smiling while she sings this, her biggest hit.
I Love this song.I'm a widow of 2 yrs. my new friend is a widower of 14yrs.tomorrow he is picking me up for the day. I'm so nervous. but I was told to just be me.so that's what I'm going to do.
This always was one of my favorite country songs. Her voice makes it come alive with feeling and is so romantic, I melt when I hear it. This is what country is all about. The story.
She was so cute and i love her incredible voice, thank you for sharing it wiith us. that smile is wonderful. Why is she not in the hall of fame??????????
I'm not a fan of country Music in general but I'll make an exception for this wonderful lady! Her voice reaches out to my heart and the lyrics in this song are beautiful!
The memories . I grew up in the 80's. My sister who was 20 yrs older than me I was born in '67. Between her and a brother that grew up in the 70's. and my Dad that grew up listening to Hank Sr . I got the full meal deal.
I played this song to my beloved, after 20yrs, and an ensuing separation, we'd grown tired of each other and apart. Then my brother (her favorite sibling of mine) was killed in a car wreck.(just one week after my father died from a fall in the hospital). I played her the song again. We're STILL hangin-together, and back in good graces. That song (and my Father & brother's death) saved our relationship!
johnmorris008. Songwriters say 'show don't tell' This song does just that. No worn out cliches, words or expressions. Beautiful presentation too. A fav'rite.
I listened to this tonight in memory of my best friends mum who passed away yesterday morning as she loved this song. RIP my good friend Kitty Boyle, we'll keep your memory alive :) Eddie, Glasgow, Scotland
Billy Joe is still touring.I saw her last night in Ballymena ,Northern Ireland in concert with Philomena Begley (25th Feb 2009).Phil is still in great voice but Billy Joe is showing all of her 72 years.
andrew says billie thank you for bring me up to listen just to country for 30 years and my age is 29 nearley 30 rest in peace and rest at last and i hope you see evis preseleyup there to. good night and bless and now i want to learn to pray thankyou you for support.
love this song my friend i used to sing this from the back of the bar down the beer pumps for the customers in the pub we used to work at, many moons ago.
This is a great song and she does a great job singing it. I can't understand why anyone would give it a thumbs down.
This song has it all. Beat, tone, tune , words, and singer! Billy Jo Spears is absolutely right for this song.
It doesn't get any better than Billie Jo. A great loss for us alal.
What a great song, to hear after all of these years. It still sounds as good today🤗
Such a sweet song! My folks loved each other for 50 years.. shortly before my daddy's passing (and my folks 50th wedding anniversary)... I miss you dearly, Mommy and Daddy. And by the way, they were the BEST parents in the whole wide world! I am soooooo blessed! Thank you God for giving them to me~

One of my very favorite songs!! Love it!!
I met my wife in December 10, 1974. This was a favorite song for both of us. My wife Pat, was a sassy woman just like Billie Jo. I love this song.
