She passed away in 2015 from a heart attack. Problems with alcohol were a major issue in her life. She passed in her 60's. Her parents out lived her. So sad. She really was a country music icon. In fact, she was the only country music artist to sell out the Maddison Square Garden. 🙏💔🙏
IDK how old she was in this vid... she was hot.. her voice... her clothes... pure Country.. pure professional... pure lady. THIS is what a woman is in the Great Old USA!!!!
Her cause of death was a heart attack. I read she had difficulties with alcohol the last several years of her life, which is unfortunate. However, she sounds great here, and looks to be having a good time performing.
My goodness her vocals remained intact…..don’t know how old she was here but that voice never let her down. I miss her. She was a gem. RIP Lynn. You’ll never be forgotten.
She was 63 when this was taped. Her voice was still golden, practically unchanged when she first recorded this when she was 23. It became a huge hit worldwide. She had 5 No1 & 18 Top Ten hits on the Billboard Country Charts. Sadly she passed away just 4 years after this performance. RIP Legend.
That song made her rich. You never bite the song that feeds you…and she was more than happy to keep singing it. I’m glad she did. She was a rare gem….,and very beautiful with that long gorgeous hair.
@@laurenurban3942 It also made her a superstar. This song was a once-in-a-career song if an artist is lucky. Way beyond just another No.1 record. It crossed genres, went No.1 around the world and did so much for country music, period.
I have always loved her song here and her voice!! Don't know why- maybe because I can understand every word she was singing in This song but - melancholy! What's that my young self questioned?? 😆
And, Lynn did a lot of drinking in her day BUT her vocals stayed very crisp and strong right up to the end. It’s the smokers who lose their beautiful voices over the years…..tobacco and smoking drugs will destroy your vocal chords……ala Whitney Houston (who should still be alive and singing strongly today) but we all know that sad story.
I love this song............I love the way she sings it.........after 36 years of marriage, I sang this to my husband........................it was perfect....................his response was " How do you know this song?" It was perfect, word for word, And I said " where have we lived for the past 36 years...............?"
I GUESS IM'E GETTING BEHIND IN THE TIME'S,BEAUTIFUL LADY"DID NOT REMEMBER OF HER BEING GONE,AND WE ARE SAD THAT CHARGE PRIDE IS GONE ,THERE'S ABSOLUTELY KNOW ONE TO TAKE THEIR PLACE,WHEN WE GET THIS AGE ,CONFOUND IT ,IM'E ALWAYS FEELING LIKE I MISS THE DEAD PEOPLE MORE AND MORE ALL THE TIME., BUT WHEN THE FUN PART IS GONE,WE HAVE OUR TAPES AND RAIDOS AND WE HAVE THE MUSIC AND THE"TEARS"AND HAVE TO JUST KEEP GOING ON.&GOD BLESS.
“Was” is the keyword; she’s not a fantastic singer here. Proof that abusing drugs and alcohol does bad things. I mean look at her here, she looks half dead and reportedly reeked of booze and body odor.
She was my first crush. I was only 6 years old, but I thought she was so beautiful. I cried when I heard she died. I still love this song. It's so wonderful to see her singing it after all these years. R.I.P. Lynn. You are truly missed. 😥
This was one of the biggest hits in popular music history. As Billboard wrote, ""Rose Garden" was as big a hit as anyone could have possibly had at the time, and Lynn Anderson had it."
It played and played on the radio in 1970…..very much like Joplin’s Bobby McGee….both very popular songs at the time. I clearly remember it….and miss those days.
Saw her live about 40 years ago, Duluth, Minnesota as part of the home and builders show. I remember her singing this song and really connecting with people in the audience. 2 shows a day for 3 days. Lovely lady, great voice and tons of energy😊.
Lynn Anderson was the one that got away. Of course she never met me and I was 14 when I feel in love with her. Seeing her on stage with Marty Stuart, another idol from the early 70’s, brings back such fond memories of a life that was far less complicated!
Was lucky to meet her in Taos, New Mexico in December of 2002. Was getting married and she was with her Mom and Dad at the same Hotel as my fiancée and I stayed. She sent a bottle of wine to our room and invited us for dinner! She was amazing and beautiful! What a wonderful memory!
Yes we have always felt blessed as she was so happy for us! When talking to her you felt like you were friends. The people of Taos treated her like the local that she quickly became. Yes something you never forget and a memory to always treasure
When I was a little boy I saw her perform at the half time show at that San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and got to shake her hand. Most performers would come out and ride around the arena in the back of a convertible waving at everyone before taking the stage out in the middle. Not her. Lynn comes out wearing a blue sequin outfit and white cowboy hat riding a white horse like she was born in the saddle and goes all the way around the arena shaking hands and talking to all us kids hanging off the rails and took her sweet time to make sure she got to talk to everyone. When she was done she kicked the horse into a gallop and jumped off on to the stage to do her set. I've never seen anything like her and I guess I never will. I was gutted when she died. RIP Lynn. You were the best that ever was.
OMG! 😲 MISS. LYNN ANDERSON STILL HAD THAT GLORIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE MANY YEAR'S AFTER SHE RECORDED THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG! SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY SWEET LADY. I WAS A YOUNG TEEN AND MY DEAR GRANDMA USED TO BLAST THIS INCREDIBLE SONG, SUCH HAPPY MEMORIES. THANK YOU MISS. ANDERSON, YOU SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. R.I.P. BEAUTIFUL ANGEL. 👼 ✝ 📿 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹 🕊 🌹
My mom would sing this and I was a little kid..but my mom is gone and this just makes me think of her...and how fast time goes by and you cherish those simple times. ❤
Yes, though it's a good song, I wouldn't want to hear it in any other arrangement than this, the one that made it a hit! And they absolutely nailed it.
Even if it is more than 5 yrs. since this music video was posted and most likely, no one will read the comments. It doesn't matter, I need to post my comment for myself and how it makes me feel... Thank you for posting this highly memorable song sung by the great and beautiful legend Lynn Anderson! ❤️ Today when this music video came up on my suggested feed, I instantly clicked on it and turned the speakers up on HIGH... I'm not ashamed the least bit, to say that through my streaming tears, I sang along with Lynn. I still to this day know every word and vocal-cords in it... This brings back soooo many memories from when I was a small child. Way back when I thought life was finally going to be good, that there WAS love in the world. I was only 5 yrs old and had just been adopted, after having survived the worst abuse a child or, anyone for that matter could have been been forced to live through. In a box in my new home, I remember finding a small battery driven handheld transistor radio 2 days after I had moved in with my new "parents". I didn't know what it was at first but, rolled the plastic roller thingy on the side and nearly dropped the radio when it started coming to life. THIS was the fist song I had ever heard in my 5 yrs of life. I am now 60 yrs. old and this will ALWAYS be my favorite song and Artist. It is the song that has always managed to give me hope, even if it is bittersweet... I soon found that I had to hide this precious radio, since in my new home, I was not allowed to listen to "heathen music". 5 yrs old, I somehow managed to find an earbud to this transistor radio and would sleep with it under my pillow with the earbud in my ear. It was my only comfort when I finally realized that, life is still not roses and sweet smelling flowers... And never was... However, this little old beige colored radio was my lifeline, it was what helped me through the darkness and cruelty in life. It WAS what helped me survive and grow to be the strong individual I want to believe I am today. A WARRIOR for abused children and women. With all that's going on today, I really needed to happenstance across this song and not only listen to it but also sing along. It has given me the courage to feel that, I CAN STILL FIGHT. I can still make a difference... Thank you 🙏
@@theycallmerosie7 yeah, I love this song but all this while, I was only familiar with the old classic version. It's refreshing to hear Lynn sang her old song with a country western flavour.......
Such a powerful and amazing voice, miss Anderson at the top of her game. Marty and his superlatives made this live performance one to remember! What a beautiful lady.
No idea how I got here but glad I did. I remember Ma singing this when we were kids. This lady here can sing better than some more than half her age! Brilliant. Confident, talent and entertainment all in one 😉
I was pleasantly surprised at how excellent that was. Although being older of course - BUT the Vocals, strings and all the musicians as a whole were on point - one of the best on the Marty Stuart show in my opinion - and of course Paul Martin always hits a home run - amazing musician
WOW ...sing it Lynn!!! I haven't heard this in 35 yrs. I use to listen to this song . It was one of my favorite. Just to hear this and see you on video. Gave me the biggest smile and it's been a while since I've smiled. Thank you❤❤❤
Marvelous voice (still) and cute as heck in those pink Cowgirl boots!!! My mom and I loved this song back in the early 70's and when I heard it recently, it reopened those joyful memories! Fabulous to hear Lynn singing it when she's older.... She hasn't lost a thing! BRAVO, I love her!!!
My partner was at Quang Tri Vietnam 70/71. Rose Garden would be regularly played on AFVN every 3/4 hours. At the army bases, fire support bases or in transports/APC’s if safe to do so radios would be turned up when Rose Garden was played. Now 5 decades later each time he hears the song he’ll cry/tear up. Brings back memories of his buddies who were KIA in VN or have passed since DEROS.
I had youtube playing while looking at another screen and this song came up. So I only was heearing it. When I clicked over to see the screen... OMG! Can't BELIEVE this is Lynn Anderson's voice in 2011. Wow!!!! Based only on hearing the sound, I really thought this was some TV show live version from 1971 or 1972. 40 years after her original recording of the song, her voice is still spot on here!
So cute she still sings that song among others very well Love her pink cowgirl outfit & Pink hat and beautiful cross earrings. Very cheery while snging .
I remember I was 17 yrs old at the time this song came out. I was working at the marine base as a summer job hire. The Marines Corp had posters “ I never promised you a rose garden.” 🌹
Just keep watching this video. Just love watching her performances on youtube. Always loved this song. Love her personality when she sings. Miss her so much
One of my very few good memories of a difficult childhood...i lived in Southern California and heard this song 100 times and always made/makes me feel so happy- Queen 👑 and beautiful soul.... RIP Sending you all the love and light I have 💜🔥💜🔥💜🔥
When this song was on top she performed at the fair near Paris TN. My brother and I were just little kids. We worked our way to the stage stairs. I wanted a kiss and he wanted her autograph on his shirt. She kissed my cheek with a big smile and signed his shirt. Lynn, Brother, Shirt, and Kiss are all gone now - but the memory remains. Till I have passed and then it's gone too. Thankfully music survives forever.

She passed away in 2015 from a heart attack. Problems with alcohol were a major issue in her life. She passed in her 60's. Her parents out lived her. So sad. She really was a country music icon. In fact, she was the only country music artist to sell out the Maddison Square Garden.
🙏💔🙏
She played MSG?I live in NYC and never knew that(?)
IDK how old she was in this vid... she was hot.. her voice... her clothes... pure Country.. pure professional... pure lady. THIS is what a woman is in the Great Old USA!!!!
This was 4 years before she died at 67, so she was 63 here.
Wow- she died rather young at 67! At 63, she seems a bit shaky, but sounds good!
Her cause of death was a heart attack. I read she had difficulties with alcohol the last several years of her life, which is unfortunate. However, she sounds great here, and looks to be having a good time performing.
My town is twice as old as your country...
❤❤
My goodness her vocals remained intact…..don’t know how old she was here but that voice never let her down. I miss her. She was a gem. RIP Lynn. You’ll never be forgotten.
This was 4 years before she passed away in 2015, at 67.
Exactly my sentiments!! She didn’t have a easy life…. And considering that, her voice remained.
@@clapollaHOW DID SHE DIE
@@LeeH864 heart attack while in hospital for pneumonia
@@LeeH864She died of a heart attack!
The lady is truly having fun
She was 63 when this was taped. Her voice was still golden, practically unchanged when she first recorded this when she was 23. It became a huge hit worldwide. She had 5 No1 & 18 Top Ten hits on the Billboard Country Charts. Sadly she passed away just 4 years after this performance. RIP Legend.
Not to sound mean or cruel but she looked a lot older than 63.
Sorry but I think you were mean and cruel why say anything if you can’t be nice 😊 @@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm
Always nice when a singer has a voice that never deteriorates despite them getting older. Lynn's voice here sounds like the original recording.
I agree.
Better as the original recording ... :-)
True, given the advances in recording & sound systems
Sorry to burst your bubble, but she's lip synching on this clip.
@@barbwire539 Not true.
One of the great Country Songs sung by one of Country's greats!
Remember this old tune when I was a kid. My goodness her voice is still amazing ❤
Hi Bell💐💐
Same here.
She had it until the end. RIP Lynn and thank you for the memories of a better time.
Look at the smile on her face she loves what she is doing.
Lynn Anderson was a beautiful singer!!
At her age she remained singing.
Her voice was still powerful!!
I’ve never seen a singer so happy singing a song what a legend

Her energy, smile and beautiful voice is pure sunshine❣🥰🥰🥰❣
such a cute lady....this song takes me all the way back to when I was a kid and this was ALL OVER the A.M. radio dials
It was the one song I didn't get tired of no matter how often it was played. I was also a kid when it came out.
Isn't she adorable here? She looks and sounds great, and like she's having a great time. I always forgot how good this song is!
Me too , nice to go back in time in our minds
Great reminiscing. The one song that I know all the words to. Crazy what sticks in your mind when you’re a kid.
Me too
Those were the days when you understood every word the singer sang. Unlike today where I wonder even if the singers know what they say.
In her later years, Lynn could still ROCK!!!!
One of my best country songs. Loved this song as a young little South African boy, way back in the 70s... Rest in peace Lynn. We missed you 😢😢
My mom has Parkinsons and her memory comes and goes but on this morning she started singing this song out of nowhere.
She looked so happy singing. R.I.P. Lynn
She knew this song was a game changer
I have always loved her song here and her voice!! Don't know why- maybe because I can understand every word she was singing in This song but - melancholy! What's that my young self questioned?? 😆

@@rosemariegray4007 Hello how are you
She looks like a man sorry but I do like song.
She sounds no different than the original recording...what a beautiful voice. This was country music...60's and 70's (early 80's). Rest in peace 🕊️❤️🙏

100% pure American LADY with talent, personality and grace. She was one of the high points of country music and I loved her.
Shes from Norway
Amazing how she kept things up all these years. So great to see her here! Reminds me of childhood.
what a voice....she could sing anything.....and a humble lady with no ego....RARE.
Amen!

She just beautiful. That outfit is off the hook. Classy entertainers. What the hell happened these folks are classy.
The memories come flooding back. Always loved this song. She has a lovely voice.

It's fun watching this lady in her older years enjoy herself so much. She's still got it!!
RIP A total Superstar, amazing how fantastic she sounds at her age in this performance. Just perfect!
OMG The most striking and enjoyable thing about this song is Lynn's smile and happiness singing this song!!

We need more upbeat songs like this during these times
That is for Sure
yes music today isnt music
I always love this song 👍👍👍👍
@@christoby5057 thank you I feel the same way
After my divorce in 1970 I went to Mallorca and the bar other side of the hostel played this song whole night.

This was a huge radio hit....In the 70's, more songs were crossover hits. 💜⭐💜
Oh how I miss the legends....

Now 5 decades later each time he hears the song he’ll cry/tear up.
Brings back memories of his buddies who were KIA in VN or have passed since DEROS.
The strings and backup vocals, just thrilled me!
She sounds the same. Its amazing.
Back in the day, she was an absolute knock out.
She has such a pretty voice. I always loved this song. ♥️
Hi 👋🏻❤️
I had youtube playing while looking at another screen and this song came up. So I only was heearing it. When I clicked over to see the screen... OMG! Can't BELIEVE this is Lynn Anderson's voice in 2011. Wow!!!! Based only on hearing the sound, I really thought this was some TV show live version from 1971 or 1972. 40 years after her original recording of the song, her voice is still spot on here!
So cute she still sings that song among others very well
Love her pink cowgirl outfit & Pink hat and beautiful cross earrings. Very cheery while snging .
Hey how are you doing..?😊
Wow so Impressive !!!!! I remember this song so well when I was a little kid in Irvington NJ . My late beloved parents played this record often !¡!!!!
She's still got the golden pipes.
Yes she did 5 decades ago & even now. Her legendary singing voice will carry on. RIP Lynnn!
She could still belt it out. Great voice and intonation.
I remember I was 17 yrs old at the time this song came out. I was working at the marine base as a summer job hire. The Marines Corp had posters “ I never promised you a rose garden.” 🌹
Just keep watching this video. Just love watching her performances on youtube. Always loved this song. Love her personality when she sings. Miss her so much
No puedo creer que haya muerto 😢!
One of my very few good memories of a difficult childhood...i lived in Southern California and heard this song 100 times and always made/makes me feel so happy- Queen 👑 and beautiful soul.... RIP Sending you all the love and light I have 💜🔥💜🔥💜🔥
Hello, how are you doing my friend?

@@sandibergen2523 welcome
@@sandibergen2523 how are you doing, hope you are safe from the Virus?
So sad, just discovered that she passed away in 2015. One of country music's most significant performers, she will always be remembered.
That Vocals .. after all those Years ... wow :D Love it, R.I.P. .. and keep singing up there ;)
The best! The lyrics are so on point. Just a great song!
When this song was on top she performed at the fair near Paris TN. My brother and I were just little kids. We worked our way to the stage stairs. I wanted a kiss and he wanted her autograph on his shirt. She kissed my cheek with a big smile and signed his shirt. Lynn, Brother, Shirt, and Kiss are all gone now - but the memory remains. Till I have passed and then it's gone too. Thankfully music survives forever.
Beautiful memories ❤
What a great performance here by Lynn and the band with the string section is just spectacular, keeping great music alive !
What a golden performance by Lynn Anderson and the awesome band...
