When I was in middle school, I used to hurry home every afternoon just so I could call in to my local radio station to request "Walkaway Joe"! It's such a great song.
I love me some Trisha Yearwood and Babyface individually and as a combo. Trisha doesn't get the nod like some other female artists who have less vocal talent. Trisha is the best.
@Peachstarlet forgiving me for using this medium to let you know that i think you're an attractive woman with calming smiles, It's seems the town you guys share does produced phenomenal women. How are you and your family ?
I'm obviously in the minority. I love Babyface and have several of his albums. But I don't see where he added anything to this particular song. Trisha's voice is immaculate, both live and on the original recording with Don Henley. Babyface felt underused as an accompanying artist, and when he got the lead, his phrasing interrupted the flow of the song completely and just felt wrong. Trisha has an amazing songbook; I wish she and Babyface had dueted on something else ("Real Live Woman" would have been a perfect fit for Babyface). This just didn't work for me.
I only knew trisha yearwood in how do i live, but.. recently i noticed CMT is featuring black artist like alicia keys and now babyface? Awoke from reality? Good sign
It’s also worth noticing that Trisha Yearwood was a leader in encouraging diversity in country music. She recorded duets and performed live with artists like Toni Braxton, Brian McNight, Aaron Neville, and Babyface. She also tried on multiple occasions to add black performers and actors to her music videos long before Nashville was ready for that.
Red - totally inappropriate post. Country music especially Trisha ENCOURAGES diversity. If you can sing, you can sing. No need to bring up "race" issues.
@@TheSpud1129 Having worked in the industry, I feel compelled to say: Trisha Yearwood surely does not represent "country" music--she is an exception in an industry as racist (and misogynist) as they come. And speaking only of her talent, she's too good for Nashville.
@@nicholasconnell6934 I understand your sentiments and truly do appreciate you commenting on my post. I was merely saying that there's no need to bring up the fact that Babyface and Alicia Keys are "black" and that CMT is featuring them. If you can sing (which all three can indeed), than it shouldn't MATTER what race you are. Is Jimmie Allen getting profiled? No. I'm sure he came up on some hard times, but he made it. Coffee Anderson? Charlie Pride? Hell - Jamie Foxx?? I'm white, and grew up in the inner city in a really rough town. I went to an all-black church and SANG. Why? Because I was really really good, and I (along with the congregation) didn't care that I was the only 10 year old white kid in there. There's enough stuff going on in the world today to constantly be bringing up the differences in people. Appreciate it for what it is. Good music. Which transcends space and time.
The best thing about this is Babyface understands he’s an accompanying singer and doesn’t try to over perform, but matches her mood and tone.
Right.

I saw her sing this at the Royal Albert Hall many years ago, she has a pure silk voice... Pure magic.
Baby face is one talented artist, he’s everywhere!! what a combo with Trisha year wood both incredible
Babyface and Trisha did an amazing job on this song . This is a beautiful song.
Babyface
Sounds good togather
Love them both
Trisha has aways seemed like such a pure genuine soul and IMO her demeanor and talent hasn't changed since the late 80's!
this is just simply beautiful!!!!
babyface is simply smooth perfection.
trisha sounds so nice next to him as well.
Just beautiful!! I’ve been such a huge fan of Trisha Yearwood since the 90’s. LOVE HER and Babyface is so incredibly talented!!
Trisha is the best female singer ever IMO. She can sing anything or anyone’s songs and make them better.
I’ve been listening to this song for over 20 years plus. How ironic when the “one” who walked away and crushed my heart was named Joe.
Wow just wow! Beautiful version with Babyface!
I never get tired of hearing this song.
I just recently heard this song on the radio and instantly fell in love with it. This is truly a beautiful song
I've always thought Trisha is the greatest female singer. Love her voice
Still is
@@SeanEvans2 corrected, is

Proud she and I are from the same small town!

How are you and your family ?
Just saw Babyface a few weeks ago in concert, I had no idea he did this song with Trisha!! They sound so good together.
Gorgeous version with their two voices.
Thank You crossroads, can you post their performance of “Take a Bow”. 🙏🏼 pretty please!
Simply beautiful!

One word Beautiful
95’ when you walk away from ex husband @19 and hearing this while your mom is driving you away 3-states away
Love this
Great version
Trisha's voice is so underrated
Has Babyface aged at all. I first thought this was an old video. Damn Trisha even looks good. Who does there work LOL. Oh the song is awesome too.
This session wasnt recorded in 2021 breh.. Judging by babyface's and trisha's weight i would say this was anything between 5-10 years ago..
Damn
❤

Don Henley was better...
Born to be a leaver…

This was from back in 2008
