Yrh I am sad that I think its Kiks that has dementia not fair. I can keep him as Young as I want to by listening to their music. I still think Robbie should have been the lead singer or have I got that erong. I could have mixed their names up
When this song originally can out in 1973, I told everyone this would be a big hit someday. B W Stevenson was just ahead of his time. The original sounds almost exactly like this. Cant hardly tell the difference in the vocals.
Both are good versions but I slightly prefer the original. They're in different keys and there are other small differences, but both capture a great song and a fantastic chorus.
I was born in 1992; grew up in a small town in northern Canada; raised by two Alberta parents including one born and raised right on the cattle farm of Olds, AB. When people ask me what song reminds me of my childhood it's this one. From infancy, to trips to the family cabin, to years of traveling the prairies for hockey tournaments, to today with memories of my late father. This song is country to me.
Real country is Jonny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Wille Nelson, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and the like. This is 1990's pop country, still a good song for what it is though.
Before I was born in the early 1980s, my mom had a friend who was a very nice lady who immigrated from Panama named Maria. They lost touch over the course if life. Fairly recently with Facebook, my mom came to find out Maria passed away from cancer in 2011. This song makes me think of her. Very nice song.
@listen2100 Me too. I have only seen pictures and she looked like such a nice lady. Mom tells me she was the type of person who would give up her right arm to help someone.
Ronnie is such a surprise, he stands there with no dance - no horses, nor glitz or glitter and lets loose one of God's most amazing voices in song. Truly awesome recording right there.
Had a friend named Maria, a good friend.. she passed several years ago way too young. I like to sing this to her and remember what a great person she was!! Maria, I love you!!
Sorry for your loss. My dad use to call my Mom "My Maria" before this song came out but it stuck for them. They have since passed also it brings back memories of them! 😢 ✌❤
They stay remarkably faithful to the original. I've loved this song ever since it first came out. It brings back memories of my college days, and being blessed by seeing B.W. Stevenson in person, and listening to his albums over and over. Ronnie Dun's voice even sounds a lot like B.W. Stevenson's. This is one of those songs that always makes me feel happy.
B.W. Stevenson did this song first, and it was phenomenal. Better than Brooks & Dunn. Song written by the great Daniel Moore, who also wrote Shambala (also sung by Stevenson).
I have loved this song ever since I was 14 years old when it first came out, and I drove my sister crazy repeating it and repeating it till the school bus came. ;) Now I'm married to a songwriter and guitar player and he said he would learn it for me and sing it to me My name is Mary
@@maryannphillips1395 Such of Great experience and LIFE !🌤️WITH THIS STRONG SONG...THANKS FOR SHARE IT AND 😅 droved your sister with this song repeatedly lol ..was funny ...Great Energy to you . Fan from Arequipa 🌎🗻🇲🇦 Perú 🇵🇪
My FAVORITE DANCING SONG!! I remember all my children were young and I was a single mom of 3 great and wonderful kids. In my late twenties and we would play this song and would all dance. So much fun. One of our favorite memories. Still is a fav. 25yrs later when I hear it i want to dance. Thanks guys
My Mom is Maria and I love her so much! I cherish every moment with her and hope for 30 more years by the grace of God! I can’t imagine living without her 💜
I have seen them several times in concert and I can say from personal experience that Ronnie Dunn has one of the all time greatest voices in the history of music!!! He can sing his ass off and where his voice really stands out is on some of their slower songs that most people haven't ever heard. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
When my daughter was one year old, we used to dance to this song when it came out. Her father was working on the oil rigs in Alberta, we were always alone. It was our song.
l agree with you, indeed Brooks and Dunn is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days. d gives you lot of beautiful days.
If you can listen to this song ,without tapping ,clapping , bopping or trying to sing that addictive chorus, you just may be musically dead. Amazing tune.
Congratulations ! 😍 ❤️💯You are very much in love with him ! So stay with him ! I have a girlfriend who have The same name as you . A Thousand miles away from me ! And yes that's Dwight yoakam song .
Are we ever going to get back to this level of quality in country music?! This is definitely one of the best driving music songs ever Dunn! Staring at the horizon, a 100 miles to go and just belting this song out for the world to hear - or not, who cares! Clutching on the steering wheel trying to keep the high notes! The repeat button on the CD player being hit enough times to qualify for an assault charge! Wonderful stuff!
+Byron Wolters No we will never have it this good again. Too many stupid people on this planet that accept anything they are fed, and then ask for more. And sadly, this is not just limited to music.
This retake, just solidified Brooks and Dunn's career, amazing duo, brilliant chemistry, and we, the listeners are the richer for this tour de force, I wish they tour again, love this song!
I'm black from the hood and this will always be my shit. I had a crush on a gorgeous girl named Marina in high school, so I just adjusted the name when I asked her to prom. Of course she went. So Kix and Ronnie get a cookout pass in my family as long as I'm on the grill. It's always funny seeing the looks when I work a wedding as a videographer and the families and friends see me singing my guts out when the DJ plays this.
@@richardwilson3379 seriously, it's the universal language, if it's good and you like it, then it's good and brings everyone together which is all that matters.
I met Carol my wife in 1965. I was 19, she 22. We've been within reach for over 55 years. And, we still dance. With Carol, it's like floating on a gentle breeze. We can still show them how it's done in our mid 70's. Our motto "always and forever". Still magical.
"Gypsy Lady, you're a miracle work for me" is a classic line from one of the best C & W songs of all time. Brooks' & Dunn's harmonies give me chills...
I’ve loved these guys since the late’90’s! Just saw them again ( we have seen them 6 times) 1&1/2 yrs ago in Tennessee! I try to never miss them but some times life gets in the wad! I have “every” album!
Driving thru Texas. It was 105 degrees..AC went out on the car. We put my Maria in the cd player really loud and sung along over and over. And laughed and it was a great day!! Memories!
Hey Im pretty much into hard rock n roll, metal, psychedelic stuff....but when it comes to certain country tunes..... MAN O MAN I could listen to stuff like this all day long !!!
l agree with you, indeed Brooks and Dunn is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days. d gives you lot of beautiful days.
Brooks and Dunn are awesome. Their music always sounds fresh and new. They are extremely talented and original. I love them as much as I love Strait and Yoakam. I hope they continue to make more music in the future.
My dad had a black lab named Ruby that lived to be 11. This was her favorite song. She'd wag her tail so hard I thought it was going to fall off. Whenever I hear this I think of that precious dog.
Great cover..they did a great job doing the original song! Always loved the original version but Brooks and Dunn performed it very well..almost sounding likes like the original!
+Sarrah Smith , Baby girl he will always be with you, he must have loved you sooooo much, I have three daughters and a grand daughter, and I love dancing and singing with them.
+Steven Bivens thank you for that, I'm sure your girls love when you sing with them. it's definitely something they will hold on to for all their lives.

Thought I would mosey over to the Wonderful World of Country Music this morning. This is my first stop. Pure velvet for the ears. First time I heard this many years ago, I thought "well, this will sell more than a million" ... never doubted it.
Beautiful... love is something so Devine that the Scriptures couldn't prove it less... it's what you feel and can't define, but what you feel and don't express!!
When I was younger my dad and I would always jam out to this song because my name is Maria. If the radio was on in the kitchen and this song came on we would dance together. My dad said that song was made for me so for the longest time I thought it really was lol. I miss those days...
Ha Ha! That's a cool story! Music always brings back memories of where I was at that time! I used to go to the OK Korral for 2-step dancing when B&D were singing this! (mid 90s) Neon Moon was played last song of the evening many nights!
Great rendition of this classic by B.W. Stephenson who sang it best but died at the young age of 39 - brings back the year 1973 just by the tune itself
I'm hardcore into edm and I love Brooks and Dunn as well as other rebel country, reminds me of where I grew up. I have no shame singing this song as loud as can and enjoying every dang minute of it!
Kix and Ronnie will forever be legends.
Legends? Lol
@@BobBaker-v9v yes I believe that's exactly what I stated.
@@2WheelsTrav - Now that's funny
@@BobBaker-v9v cool story. I must've missed your 30+ year music career👍

😂Watching and old pisode on heehaw and the twin did this song and I thought it was a knew song good back then and now😅
Both are good versions but I slightly prefer the original. They're in different keys and there are other small differences, but both capture a great song and a fantastic chorus.
kinda like comparing Dolly and Whitney's voices in "I Will Always Love You" they're very different in tone strength
that would explain the yodel; that documentary on country music mentioned that it was a feature of early country music; he pulls it off though.

Great song better the crap they play today on the radio. This Is country music!
Real country is Jonny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Wille Nelson, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and the like. This is 1990's pop country, still a good song for what it is though.
Tom Petty referred to modern country as “Bad rock n roll with a fiddle.”
It's really not country but will take it 🤔👌👌❤️❤️❤️
Heck yea
new country is twangy pop

2023 still playing this song strong…. Just love it❤
I never knew this was a cover

I think covers should be announced clearly, just for respect
Married a woman named Maria and I play it every time she's pissed at me. I can't lose.
Stay strong King

Lol
I think the name Maria should go in style…
Smooth 😎
Absolute banger. Idc who you are
My sister Maria past away from covid.. My family and I listen to it today. She would never hurt anyone and had heart. Our Angel is in heaven.

You got that right!! 🤗😘
It's not even a country song - pop song from 1973
Idont everyday
TRUTH!
This is a Dance Alone Song!!!!!
Great song, Ronnie Dunn has the pipes to kick this into overdrive.
Brooks and Dunn are truly on of country music's greatest duos.
Had a friend named Maria, a good friend.. she passed several years ago way too young. I like to sing this to her and remember what a great person she was!! Maria, I love you!!
I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend! ❤
Sorry for your loss. My dad use to call my Mom "My Maria" before this song came out but it stuck for them. They have since passed also it brings back memories of them! 😢 ✌❤
this comment made me tear up brother
My condolences to your loss, you have memories of her and this song helps. Take care and stay happy and healthy
I have a friend named maria at school

This song always makes me think of my dad. Just shared it with my sisters so we can think of him together. Miss you Dad.
I'm sure he appreciates it dear❤
We miss our Marie both grandma and our daughter😢
Yes the best country music ever made 90s
Makes me think of my late wife when I hear this. She set my soul free. ♥️♥️♥️
Like a ship sailing on the sea!
That is so lovely. So sorry for the loss of your wife. 😢
amen
I’m so sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss...may God bless you with love again.
Ronnie Dunn's voice is just -perfection.

I love you Brooks & Dunn
Still listening in 2024 ❤
I miss the great country music I grew up with in the 90s 🤠
Same
Everything’s got the same snap and drum beat behind it now, this era is undefeated
50's, 60's, and 70's country was the best, imo!!!!
Same!! Country is not the same
I am not a country music fan but this song is so inspiring and uplifting! Ronnie Dunn what a voice!
thank BW stevenson
B.W. Stevenson did this song first, and it was phenomenal. Better than Brooks & Dunn. Song written by the great Daniel Moore, who also wrote Shambala (also sung by Stevenson).
@@jramsey9690 brooks an Dunn is a little bit better, that’s just my opinion…
Not a country fan but I love this song I'm probably gonna take my other half she likes country just so I can hear them sing this

B.W. would be proud of this version of his iconic 70s hit from back in 73 ..
I love both versions of this powerful song. Thank you Brooks and aDunn.
RIP BW Stevenson. a Canadian fan 🇨🇦🙏🦋🌹
I'm I'm missing BW Stevenson! He wrote this beautiful song and I love it! B&D did a wonderful job in this, but it can't replace the original IMHO. 😊❤️

Best song I’ve ever heard of the blessed Virgin. Notice the churches, altars, candles. Nice a religious song disguised as a wonderful country classic.
This is always fantastic! It STILL takes my breath way all these years later! No joke! It has the most amazing vocals on it anyone could ask for!!
A true classic that will always get toes tapping and spirits lifted.

My Mom is Maria and I love her so much! I cherish every moment with her and hope for 30 more years by the grace of God! I can’t imagine living without her 💜
I'm Maria as well 😊
Ronnie did not want to do this song because he didn't want to sound "like a girl". I'm glad he did it because that guy has some KILLER range!
That Ronnie Dunn is 1 yodeling cowboy, ain't he??
Russell Smith My Maria it's a great song
He sick with the flu and did not want to record it that day, but was the last song so he did, glad he did I bet, great remake hit!
Great head voice...
another "yodel" song? Listen to John Denver singing Calipso...
I'm not much a fan of Country Music but this is one of my favorite songs of all time!
So inspiring and uplifting
+1 👍
It used to be a Pop song in the 60s(?)!
@@LydiaStarz 1970's,73 to be exact
Huh! I wouldn’t say the sixties or even the seventies….. but you’re right it was done in 1973 by BW Stevenson.

He can sing his ass off and where his voice really stands out is on some of their slower songs that most people haven't ever heard. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

I agree. When he does the slower, moodier stuff his voice just soars!
😄
Anyone still gonna be listening 2024 I know I will
I never thought I'd admit this , but thanks to brooks and Dunn this 90s grunge kid likes country music now 😆
Same
Good music is good music no matter what the genre. I’m a singer with many styles

Are we ever going to get back to this level of quality in country music?! This is definitely one of the best driving music songs ever Dunn! Staring at the horizon, a 100 miles to go and just belting this song out for the world to hear - or not, who cares! Clutching on the steering wheel trying to keep the high notes! The repeat button on the CD player being hit enough times to qualify for an assault charge! Wonderful stuff!

Brooks and Dunn are awesome. Their music always sounds fresh and new. They are extremely talented and original. I love them as much as I love Strait and Yoakam. I hope they continue to make more music in the future.
Hello Brad, nice to meet you here also.
I'm doing ok.
New and fresh...Song was written in 1972 by folk country hippie BW Stevenson. The original version is "Shambala/My Maria"
@@jonathanmosher72a superior version to be sure. The music is especially superior to Brooks and Dunn version.

Good god when he’s singing in falsetto it hits some kind of emotional nerve and I burst into tears every time.
Gonna go hunt some cougars with this at karaoke lol
Ronnie Dunn is one of the greatest vocalist in the history of country music IMO
Oh yes Ronnie Dunn is
Still a great song after all these years. Can't beat those vocals!
Can't add more to comments...just great!
Beautiful... love is something so Devine that the Scriptures couldn't prove it less... it's what you feel and can't define, but what you feel and don't express!!
Ronnie Dunn is one of the best male voices in country music IMHO ! Love this Video too.
THE best of all time, in my humble opinion ...
When I was younger my dad and I would always jam out to this song because my name is Maria. If the radio was on in the kitchen and this song came on we would dance together. My dad said that song was made for me so for the longest time I thought it really was lol. I miss those days...
Beautiful anecdote--and an equally beautiful woman
Ha Ha! That's a cool story! Music always brings back memories of where I was at that time! I used to go to the OK Korral for 2-step dancing when B&D were singing this! (mid 90s) Neon Moon was played last song of the evening many nights!
I like the way Ronnie Dunn sings this song!!I believe its best ever done!!
BEST COUNTRY DUET IN THE 90S HIT AFTER HIT ❤️👍❤️👍❤️❤️❤️🎵🎵🎵
I love the way this man yodels!
Fantastic song!
Ill yodel for ya !
Mike Brown Ronnie Dunn is the best
Not quit a yodel, more of a falsetto but yeah, really good voice I agree.
aqueenwaits you
Nice day
always makes me smile. what a great song!
One of the very best songs I’ve ever heard in my entire life thank you Brooks & Dunn
Thank BW Stevenson and 3 Dog Night. BW Stevenson wrote it as Shambala and the chorus is inspired by the 3 Dog Night version.
Great version..what vocals!
Great rendition of this classic by B.W. Stephenson who sang it best but died at the young age of 39 - brings back the year 1973 just by the tune itself
I'm hardcore into edm and I love Brooks and Dunn as well as other rebel country, reminds me of where I grew up. I have no shame singing this song as loud as can and enjoying every dang minute of it!
Brooks and Dunnnn got THAT like what is that heavenly voice coming from that country boy 😂 gotta love it!!
I Just Can't Get Enough of Listening to this song it's got one of the most melodically Soulful Guitar Solos ever in a Country Song
