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!
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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~
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.
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!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
she was so sweet i remember on sundays as a kid going and eatting lunch with her at her bbq place in port neaches. she would sing we would eat.... it was great. She autographed my coloring pages and my napkins all i have been able to keep up with over the years is a napkin. She will be so missed. George Jones said it so well in his song years ago.... Who's gonna fill their shoes.......
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!
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.
Ahh, If only country music was like this today. A song like this today wouldn't even make it past the front secretary even if she slept with the boss. It is so sad that country music has lost its identity. Thank you for a beautiful reminder from a lovely lady with a great song of how wonderful country music used to be!!
It's almost your birthday mom, hard to believe 7 yrs since you left us !! I will sing ur favorite song forever mom xoxo rest easy pretty lady ❤ 💋 💜 💋 xoxo
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
This takes me back to my youth. Nice to hear it again....🎸🎶 Songs you could either sing along too, or dance too. Innocent stuff. Nothing too serious,...great times.. The world has gone mad now
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.
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
I Still Remember, 1973, 74 Era, Our Mom And Dad Would Take Us To Lengeng Lake ( Keshena, Wisconsin.) Mom And Dad Would Always Bring A Blanket. They'd Lay It Underneath This Oak Tree.😥😥💔 Miss You Mom And Dad, Love Lil Man Shawanomitta. Mis You, Marilyn, Cathy, Pete, An My Baby Sister, Liz 💔💔💔💔💔💯❤️
Brings back good memories this my dad used to sing it wen he was drunk, he's been dead for 16 years this year an still remember him singin this like it was yesterday
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!!!!

It’s a great song- talking about staying in love

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.
She was a gem. So underrated
My husband proposed to me with this song. God rest his soul.
Whoa!

Old Country. Times change but the message in this song is timeless. She had an incredible voice.
When country music was country God bless Billie Jo Spears
This song has it all. Beat, tone, tune , words, and singer! Billy Jo Spears is absolutely right for this song.
What a great song, to hear after all of these years. It still sounds as good today🤗
Know it’s a cliche but they seriously DO NOT make beautiful songs like this anymore! RIP Billie ❤️❤️
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!
This was one of my dad's all time favourites and we're playing it at his funeral next week 😭
Bless your dad and bless you ❤
@@chrishearfield234 ciao Chris!🙋😍😘💘🍀
I'm sorry for your loss.
More couples should listen to this song and remember to love each other and do things together as when they first met.
Doesn't always last
@@leeannecosier6651 oh, it does when you have the right partner ;)

My dads favourite song. He’s passed away but I listen to this constantly. Reminds me of him so much. Great song
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our mum passed away in February 2021 and we played this at her funeral. It was her favourite 💔
No words!

I remember my mum swinging me about to this at a family party in my village when I was around six. Good memories!
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.

PORT NECHES!?!?!? HI, neighbor! I grew up in Groves and graduated high school at PN-G in 1966.
One of my favourite female country singers. This is also a great song with so much meaning. I love it.

+Terry Warner Too bad it took such a tragedy.
She was only around 20 when she first sang this,her voice hasn't changed
Late reply., but by 1975 she was 38...She was born 1937. 💞

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.
