This is a vintage live performance by Jeannie C. Riley of her hit song, "Harper Valley P.T.A.", written by Tom T. Hall.
Riley was raised in Anson, Texas. This song immediately became a gigantic hit for Riley and went to number one on both the Billboard Pop and Country charts, a feat not repeated until 1981 when Dolly Parton released "9 to 5". Riley and the song became an overnight sensation, and the song earned her the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and the Country Music Association Single of the Year award. Riley also became one of the very few country artists ever nominated in the major pop Grammy categories of "Best New Artist" and "Record of the Year".
The song was a phenomenon which led to Riley making country music history in 1969 as the first female vocalist to have her own major network variety special, "Harper Valley U.S.A." Then in 1978 there was "Harper Valley PTA" the motion picture, and in 1981 "Harper Valley PTA" the television show.

Remember the song as a little girl my mum bought the single , then the show with Barbara Eden. Anybody here in 2019 for the Ken Burns PBS documentary? 😁🇨🇦🇯🇲 ? Great music no matter the genre crosses all cultures or wherever you come from. 😃👍

Can we get thumbs up for that badass dobro playing!!!???
His name's Harold Morrison -- you can find lots of recordings under his own name as well as his session work.
For SURE
👍👍
That jacket is fire.
Culturally significant. The future generations will thank you for putting this on UA-cam
They are attending harper Valley and don't have the same freedom. Musicians or chances
How so? 😂

My mom loved this song I saved this song because of her she passed away May 27, 2023
Сочувствую.
My mom loves this song too. Sorry for your loss
🙏🏻 Lost mine in 2019
Sorry my friend. Much love!
Sorry for your Mum. Your Mum had excellent taste in music. I lovee this song as a teenager in the 60s and 70s listening on the radio.
They couldn’t have found a more perfect woman to sing this song WOW !
What a Hottie!
They couldn't have found a more perfect women to play the lead in the movie.
Can we also give some love to that slide guitar player? Those are some incredible riffs n fills by any country or rock n roll standards from any era!! Perfect!! And of course, a great song and voice and a beauty singing it!!
I was thinking how AMAZING that guitarist is on slide!
He Kills It,,🙏👊🦊
Salute to your ABILITY to get ALL THE NOTES !! He izzz GREAT !
You need something like that in a simple, repetitive story-song like this.
Yes!
This song is timeless, still fun in 2024 to hear how she "socked it to the Harper Valley PTA"!
I remember as a kid, my mom singing along with this when it came on the radio while she was cleaning the house.
RIP Mom ❤
Awesome memory my friend.
Got the feels....my mom would always turn this up on the radio and started to dance around. My mom passed in 2020 and I play this song once a week in her loving memory
Cherishing memories ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My mom loved this song too 😢
My mom loved this also,miss her dearly love u Molly Conner/Farmer RIP❤
I love the way she looks surprised when they start applauding. She glances over at the audience, kind of surprised. So sweet.
Great eye. It was well deserved. A perfect song against hypocrisy.
Gracious lady
Bless her 🎉
That spontaneous applause & her reaction never fails to make me smile, every time I watch this video...which is a lot. This is a terrific time capsule of a different time in music history.
I grew up in the Netherlands, born in 1963. They played this song regularly on the radio as I grew up. Not speaking English as a kid I had no clue what it was about but I knew she was pissed off by the tonation of her voice. I moved to the US in 1990 but never heard that song again until I was driving around in Tallahassee a few weeks ago. I recognized this song from my childhood and listened carefully to the text. She sure was pissed off about something, the Harper Valley PTA! They don’t write songs like that anymore.
Hello,how are you doing..?
Hypocrites! In any language.
As a kid this song was catchy, as an adult it’s completely real, a lot of people casting stones when they shouldnt
Amen
hipocrisy
Welcome to Back-Water Kentucky and the South!!
Bless their hearts.
@@lamonthamilton667 And the north. Idiot.
In 1968, this was #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, And it was also #1 on the country chart. Huge hit worldwide.
And recently covered by Squeeze, oddly enough!

RIP Tom T. Hall. A writer's writer. Brilliant storyteller.
He was ahead of his time God bless him, writing this song from a single mothers perspective, risque lol... but you're right, a great story teller.🙏🏼😘
I live in ky not one word about his death in tv or print media........sad asses
@@sic762 crying shame ! I’m here in North Georgia & I learned of His passing about a week afterwards . Always Loved Tom T . Hall . I got to see Him whenever I was 7 , My Momma & Sister let Me tag along that night 👍🏻😃♥️🎶.
I totally agree about Mr. Hall, my particular favorite by him is “Salute To A Switchblade”
When did he pass?
This always reminds me of my mom. Not that she fought the PTA but a woman raising a boy alone in the 60's and 70's had to be tough. Mom is gone, Im grown but she never complained and she took very good care of us even though we lived on a waitress salary. Josette B Medford, my mom, was one bad broad.
Me too, raised 2 boys on a waitress wages, divorced and I had to tangle with a smart aleck teacher trying to embarrass my child over his clothes in front of everyone. I socked it to that rude high fuluting b****, better be looking at that mini skirt she had on you could see everything she had but picking on kids because their parent was struggling to provide new fancy clothes.
Awww 🥺😔
She had to be. Good for both of you.
I started working in a restaurant when I was 14 in the early 80s and new plenty of waitresses raising their kids alone and I always admired them.
Had to be ..... my mother was too she could change flat tires bang on the battery seal the radiator she drove Roadrunners Javelins Mercurys she had Tavern Jackets from every bar in town with her name on them she did so much with so little for so long she was a legend she ratted her hair up high with chips of razor blades stuck in her hair she’s gone now but the memories remain.........
I am sorry, but this is PURE CLASSIC....legendary. I don't care what type of music you listen to, this is one that has stood the test of time and epitomizes what music is all about.
yeppers it surely is..
There is no sorry about this song and performance. She hits it out of the park!
Generally I don't like Country & Western. This is a great song but if they could get rid of that country guitar style in the original it would have been a far better recording. The original even had an organ in the backup. I do love the way the song picks up tempo as it goes along.
Then I sure don't see why you're sorry.
Just good music.
This song and Ode to Billy Joe are my two favorite all time country songs. The best!!!!!!!!
Harper Valley Hypocrites, love it. 50 years and this never gets old
Jeanie C. Riley was such a doll. The way she delivered this song was just great!
Unreal she is great
Back in the day, she was my future ex-wife.
@@richardaylesworth1460:
Can´t blame ya.
I always thought that was Loretta Lynn 😆 🤣 😂
She’s totally gorgeous.
i love jeannie c riley love this classic song it sounds so great in 2024
You can thank Tom T. Hall for this gem, still listening in 2024.
Tom lived close to me in Kentucky. Great folks they were.
@@chrisrose_krii_lun_aus That's cool, when I was an infant, Bobby Darin lived 2 houses up from ours in New Jersey but, became famous and moved before I knew who Bobby Darin was, my mom said he moved after he married Sandra Dee.
@@Musician-r5q I'll tell you another one. I worked in a Coal mine in Van Lear Kentucky near where Loretta Lynn grew up. I got to meet her once, but worked with some of her family. Also Keith Whitley and Ricky Skaggs saw many times live when I was growing up. It was like a little 100 mile radius of some greats. Keith Whitley and Rickey Skaggs were in Ralph Stanleys band and that's where i meet them. I was blessed to meet Ralph many times.
I haven't heard Bobby Darin in so long. Lol. Getting old sucks. I'll have a listen to Dream lover today anyway. God bless
@@chrisrose_krii_lun_aus Lol! I hear ya on the getting old thing, I just turned 63 in March, had a major heart attack in April and I'm still here pluggin away, Lol!
This song is a legendary verbal smack down! It is the ultimate "Bless your heart!"
Bless your heart... ? Are you a southern lady... And I love your user handle... I am also a hippie... forever @ 60 yrs.
Spoken like true southerner. 👍
@@byrddog2495 Me too! Turned 60 in January but born and raised in Northern Va. so I’m not really southern. Lol 🙂
LMAO 😂! Exactly! I’m in my 50’s and this was my favorite song when I was a little girl.
Muffled Laughter.
I'm 14 (15 soon :D) and am obsessed with this, my great grandma used to sing this with me!! When she passed away she left me a CD with this song on it 💚🍄💚
Credit goes to Mr Tom T Hall, who wrote the song. Good luck with your life.
🌼❤️❤️❤️🌼
Better than the shit on the radio nowadays good for you!
You were so lucky to have that kind of Grandma! Sympathy to you, you will always treasure those memories! (For me it's Grandmom's pantry, & her coffee cake!
OhMyGod, faith in youth restored. I do appreciate younger people listening to this music & keeping it going through the generations ❤️
As young girls growing up in 70's small town Kentucky we were looked down on for Momma being divorced. We sang this for her then and now that she's gone, we sing it to remember her.
That's what we were talking about today girlfriends at the table . I played this song for them and told them how my mom sang this with me and told me it's a girl power song....iv always sang it in my head whenever I have had to set someone straight ! We're in KY girl 🎉💕🎉💕🎉
Deanna, would this song be another way of warning neighbors not to gossip about each other?
ua-cam.com/video/xktXglFD6MY/v-deo.html
I went to school in the 70's also, and I only had one kid in my whole class who lived with only his mother. My mother when she came to school functions or would pick me up and she would see him would whisper to me in a hush tone, "Is he the one without a father?" Funny, how times change, now half the class of kids, come from broken homes and it's normal.
Sorry for your loss and keep those memories, God bless
From one KY girl to another...my mom was a widow, her best friend moved in with us to watch my brother and I while she worked nights. Boy, no one understood that; rumor mill started that they were lesbians. As a young girl that was hard to understand. I lost friends over that. Her best friend ended up moving out years later to get married. But no one ever apologized for thinking otherwise. Remember the sitcom Kate and Allie?
I’m a 49 year old ‘mrs Johnston’ and I’ve always loved this!
Hello! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe!
I'm a 66 year old who would be having nips of gin
I’m Mrs Johnson too. Hello
@@DianneJohnson-x5v Hi it’s a pleasure meeting you, I can’t stop myself from listening to this song anytime am lone! if i may ask which of all her songs is your favorite? You take care and be safe
I'll always remember the first time I heard this song on the radio. I was in the car with Daddy, a lawyer who specialized in representing school districts. He burst into laughter and said Sheri you have no idea how TRUE this song is.
Hahaha
how old were you ?
Sheri, your Daddy sounds like a true visionary and a great father.
I cant tell you how much I like the SEQUEL
@MR ENIGMA how sad
I was just 3 years old when this came out. And I woke up this morning singing it. I'm now 56. This will NEVER grow old!
I'M 71 it does not grow old trust me
Never 😁
I'm 56 as well, and can remember the first time I heard it. And the MOVIE 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I grew up loving this song. I even loved the movie with BARBARA EDEN as the mom.
@@murielsutton2582I forgot about the movie!!::I'm 63.😁
I'm black and from the hood and I Love this song
Im white and poor
And I like this Song too
Cory Washington loves you
Cory Washington she is gorgeous
@@brianaparks4180 yes the music is
It's awesome.
I can't believe how your daughter is the exact picture of you. What a true blessing.❤
The guy who playing the dobro is in a zone I mean this is his jam!! Look at his head and shoulders he's all in.
That's my Uncle Harold Morrison.
Not a guitar but a dobro
genius!
@@WolfgangR5150 That's really cool, I've read about him online. He's really fun to watch.
@@gunrunner465 I’m glad someone corrected him.
I sang this as a kid, I'm 47 and she still kicks ass
I love it more now than i did in the 60,s
Worse gang of hyprocrits today. No shame for the MAGA cultist and their ORANGE little dick leader.
Who’s still listening in 2024???…
All the time!
Me. 16 March. she has good intelligence about the PTA. Unfortunately; she couldn't use certain words.
Me 🎉
April 2024. The song never goes out of style
It's actually 2044 😅
Written by the legendary Tom T. Hall and performed to perfection by Jeannie C. Riley!
I have a whole new appreciation for this song as an adult.
A girl and her scale great Jeanne
Yeah baby , me too
Right? Great comment.
I do know what you mean
The Guitar Player here should Be in the Hall Of FAME!!
He's playing! Could be Herb Tarek with that jacket!
Mickey Mantle is in the HOF.
In her prime, Jeannie Riley was a super attractive woman. She is still alive in her late 70s.
Now she is not because she is old?
@@GregNormal-c2g No problem. I love the song and I love her voice.
Riley is a smok'n southern Fox!
Dude was playing that guitar within an inch of its life, and man, she was smoking hot.
😂😂😂😂😂
yeah he is wicked awsome
Michelle Boswell
That guy can really pick a dobro!
Transpocolypse Now channel, Epic Sellouts channel, Truthful Spirit-Blue Heron channel
2022 and this song is still awesome
That guy with the guitar is just the best.
excellent guitar A+
Chris Malan a guy posted above and said that was his uncle!
It is a dobro ! And yes he is awesome
You got it right about the guitar man, he's good n he knows it, keep it up n become famous!
That man is my Uncle Harold Morrison, miss him.
Beauty and musical skill in equal measure. Her wisdom and wit really shines through in her lyrics.
She didn't write the song. She simply sang it. The song writer is Tom T. Hall.
I love this performance!!! She’s so pretty and I love how sassy she is!!!!! Music just isn’t the same anymore 😢
I heartily agree with you on this subject, Shaunee - we need to get back to a good and noble root, if you will, in popular music - performers with talent, good songwriters, great production staff; in other words, let's make music the way it should be made - the real way!
for that decade ..she is******beautiful..
Jerry Lowry lol well they did the best they could With what h
I agree.. Pure Country .. Great Song. Great performance ... If only. Right ??
@@ClownWorldRebel Your beautiful ❤️ also
gives me chills to this day, don't mess with a momma who's doing the best she can...ty momma
I agree 100%
This is what REAL COUNTRY MUSIC is about. Jeannie C. Riley's talent and Tom T. Hall's songwriting skills were the perfect match for a CLASSIC like this.
This song brings back great memories. I raised my 2 beautiful daughters in the 90s. They know this song well. When you are a single parent, theres nothing wrong with having a little attitude and a extra spring in your step as you address any PTA. Just be yourself. ❤️
So glad my mother got me into this song, it's so catchy and the story is great.
Moral of the story children... Those who live in glass houses ought to not throw stones.
This song was extremely popular when it came out and was country but it crossed all genres in popular music. I was a kid when it came out in the late 60's. Everyone was singing along to this song because it was so popular.
sarcasm at its best and she made it look pretty darn good as well
The pot calling out the kettle. Hypocrisy is still alive and well today. Put the light on it whenever it rears it's ugly head. It can't survive the light.
R.I.P Tom T. Hall who created this masterpiece of a song. You will be missed.
You not a bad guy you just out of place
My mum, 82 now, but what a formidable force 🎉🎉🎉🎉
One song that never gets old!! Love it
Hello friend, how are you doing today???
@@williamrolls9024 very well thank you
I never understood this song as a child but I could still tell that delicious, delicious tea was being spilled all over the place in this story. It's even better now.
It wasn't tea
Yes, better. My mom loved this song because she was a divorced woman in the south! I and everyone else loved her! PTA across America can suck mine and learn a huge lesson. Not a reference.
She is such a beautiful woman. The song is so well done from such a little sweet heart ❤❤❤
Hello,how are you doing today
The '60s and '70s was the Golden Age for pop ballads, a music form almost unheard of these days. There's Harper Valley PTA, Ode to Bill Joe, Little Willy, The Night Chicago Died, The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia, Midnight Train to Georgia, and I'll probably remember more as the day wears on.
How about “The Night They Drove ol’ Dixie Down”?
Yes, these are all great songs - I would add to this list, Tammy Wynette's, "D-I-V-O-R-C-E." When I was divorced, some many years back, I wrote in the "memo" (on my check to my lawyer) "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" (My divorce was a friendly one, thank God). Anyway, it seems my "song-joke" went over his head - he never questioned it in any event. Cheers to all!
I remember my Mama saying this was a controversial song back in the day I think it's bad ass in its 2022 and I think it applies today🤨😁
Hell yeah it does today. Mrs. Johnson is hero for her daughter & all of those who aren't going to take crap from hypocites for gossiping.😀
Sadly truth is controversial today.
@@roddycreswell8613 Ikr!! But ALWAYS tell the TRUTH SCREW THE SNOWFLAKES DUDE!!!!
@@wandac367 👍
THIS IS A TIMELESS SONG. BEAUTIFUL QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC ALMOST 90 YEARS YOUNG IN A FEW DAYS.
WTF!?!? She's 76!
Jeannie C Riley had the most sincere smile of any performer I ever met. I briefly encountered her in 1974 when I was an 18 yr old kid. No fake smile, as genuine as they come.
Absolutely, I met her also, she was so sweet and kind, I felt as if we had been friends forever, her smile and caring way was as genuine as it gets.
Every time the PTA called me, Mom was there Alone defending her juvenile delinquents! I do love them.
Hey how are you doing today?😊
I went to a little country school in rural Georgia in the late 60s and early and they would play this song at every P.T.A function. This song brings back very fond memories of that time in my life.
My mama had this on a 45 record. Loved it as a kid and 50 years later I still love it. Great memories.
I was a freshman in highschool when this song broke to the top of the hit parade! Very rare (in 1968) when a country-western hit would commandeer the regular top-40 hit parade charts. We LOVED the song; couldn't hear it enough!
Today is 1 January 2022. Still an hilarious comment on hypocrisy after nearly 54 years (great DoBro playing, as well). I wonder if Jeannie C. Riley is still living.
Still alive, and living in Texas (according to wikipedia).
Never realized but found out she lives in small town Texas about 20 minutes away
From my childhood! Every car radio through open windows (before cars had AC 😆), every jukebox, in every playground, around every picnic table -- this song was THE song to sing and sing along with! And we DID! At every opportunity! 😂 Adults and kids alike! 💕😃🎶
I remember coming home from school and mama putting that song on the record player--yep she surprised us and bought it while we were at school. Those were the good old days.
Truth Indeed AMEN
When I was in high school I wanted to buy this record, but my parents wouldn't let me. I asked why not, & Dad said it was a grownup song. Did I know what it was about? I explained it was mostly about not throwing rocks at others unless you were perfect already.
He let me get it. Miss you, Dad!
Wow hun
I was reading your comment and then all of a sudden it took a sad turn there at the end.
Sorry for your loss sweetheart.
Life goes by so fast doesn't it?
I try to make so many memories w my kids but I find myself making just a few more all the time w daddy's little girl.
Take care
@@dewalt459 Thanks. He was 'one of a kind, totally unforgettable, so is always with me still- as it should be. Mom, too! Both of them lived past 90, & I was lucky to have them as long as I did. Good Luck to You- I'm sure you will be remembered also!
Where Has All The Talent GONE !! one Musician with a Guitar And A Fantastic Clear VOICE sum A Classic that Stands the TEST of Time.
Let me rephrase that; who's gonna fill their shoes? Answer, no one. Some try...
The song doesn’t hold up tbh. Not a classic by a long shot. Not compared to o music from Dolly or Johnny Cash has. Not knocking it but this is no Stevie Wonder so calm your tits lol
@@deathbeforedecaf7755 Jeez, what would we do without your 2 cents worth??
Not dissing on the this classic, but that's not one musician. They've either got a backing track or she is lip syncing her song -- something very common on TV and especially back then.
I was 16 when this song came out. I only like rock n roll and never listened to country music. But, I liked Jeannie C and thought she was a beautiful woman.
She is beautiful here, inside and out
I was in junior high (known as middle school today) in Napa CA when this song was popular on the country charts. A new student from the Midwest lip synced it at our first rally and we were so embarrassed for her since nobody listened to this “square, hick” music. Complete silence when her performance was over. I think back about that girl now and understand what an amazing brave person she had to have been

I absolutely love this song
Ditto! Loved this song for decades!
Jeannie C Riley is a legend for delivering real messages!
ALWAYS loved this song! My early life reflected this song. My momma was (and still is) a firecracker! She never did anything illegal just lived her life the way she wanted! She is my best friend and my role model. Teaching love, honesty, pride and not taking ANYONE'S crap!!! LOVE YOU MOMMA!!!
Diana Smith Good for you!!! [see my response to another lovely child of “ one of us”, above]
Love you Mama!!!! 😍😍😍
This song is so true about the life especially back in the 60's.
Impeccable performance and this woman is gorgeous! Ever since I was a small boy hearing her voice singing this song; word for word always made me feel happy 😍❤
Long straight hair and a mini skirt. Southern accents and big hair and country music ballads. Sure miss it all
We had this song on an 8 track tape. I loved it and Jeanie C Riley was just a doll w those Go Go boots. Good times and great memories from my childhood.
Hello 👋 Kelly how are you doing?
Hi Kimberly hope you’re okay?
Man, this brings back memories when I was just a kid! My mama would drop a whole stack of vinyl on our stereo, turn it up and I would help her clean and wash dishes and clothes and we would sing along at the top of our voices. My step-father would turn off the TV to listen to us! Good times!
Listening to this song now has such a different meaning. As a little kid I had no idea what I singing because her voice and catchy tune had my attention. But now, WOW hahaha! Love it even more!
Love country music😊
This is a live performance and not just lip syncing to the studio version. Much respect for that.
twist. she sang and moved around on film and they played the film b4 a live audience
@@hobbygamer6220 Did not know that!?
This is from a (Teddy and Doyle) Wilburn Brothers show.
I loved this track as a child and still do. Released on Plantation Record Label in 1968.
this is timeless! lyrically spot on with Jeannie's sassy delivery-and the memorable expertly played slide guitar👍
I'm 54 n I remember this song as a little girl,my favorite today
Hello 👋 Carol how are you doing?
One of the prettiest ladies of country music. I have always liked this song.
Hello friend, how are you doing today???
Hello Loves 👋... Are is the weather over there now, And how are you doing today, I guess all is well with you and your family?
RIP Tom T.Hall,Ky native,singer, and,songwriter of hits like "Harper Valley PTA".
I’ve loved this song since it came out when I was 5. I was so excited to get to meet her many years ago. She was a very sweet lady.
Hello,how are you doing..?
10/4/2021 I remember hearing this very young. 52 winters later and this song still sounds great. Toronto, Ontario Canada
I had this on a 45. Played it on the hi-fi until my parents said OK! Give that record a rest!😆
Along with a great voice and lyrics, the singer is emphasizing the message in a beautiful thick way.
The 60’s and 70’s had all the talent.
My grandma sang this to me when I was in middle school. I'll have to remind her of this song
Love the manner in the way she sang it.. attitude and all
I loved that single as a kid. The minor chord and the key change, plus the lyrics and delivery, awesome. Produced by Shelby Singleton on his Plantation label.
My granny had this record. I used to play it all the time when I was kitt and she thought it was so cute when I sang it. I knew every word 😊
Rest in Peace, Tom T. Hall, writer of this awesome song.
Ima bout to have a Harper Valley PTA moment soon with my sons school... this has been one of my favorite songs since my oldest started school almost 12 years ago... I'd like to think I'd be like her momma... and now that I'm having issues with my middle kids school... I get to speak my peace
I had a moment last week when I had to “sock it to” the university I worked for - for having no security cameras. My car was stolen in the parking lot. Yes, they were “socked it to” to the tune of a multimillion dollars if they don’t change things.
Classic song, delivered with style, and that perfect voice, excellent pickers. Thank you, Tom T. Hall and Jeannie C. Riley.
My Uncle Harold Morrison on the slide, RIP.
Tom T. Hall and Jeannie C. Riley were good musician. How you Marilyn E. Jess.
@@WolfgangR5150 Damn, he could play the heck out of that slide..but his sports coat is on FIRE!
Quality song in any season humor with a country beat
This woman and Karen Carpenter were in a league of there own! Two amazing woman with amazing voices! I have listened to there music for years, it's timeless!
True...
Yes. But don't forget to add Mary Hopkin to the group. Remember the song Those Were The Days?
Jeannie was the perfect choice to do this song.
I have always wondered something about this song: is it a true story?
MrAmesj but you do know she didn’t write it right
I don't know, you haven't seen my wife do karaoke.
Tom T. Hall wrote it. Jeannie worked by the studio and they asked her to do it. I think she did it in one cut. It was her song.
@cornskid angry much? It's a song about calling out small town hypocrisy.
I was 5 years old when my folks took me to see Jeannie and Jerry Lee at an outdoor festival. I actually remember!!!
Hi hey okay I am coming my name is Carl manahan
This song never gets old good music, good entertainment nothing new on the face of the Earth
