- ALPHA CENTAURY TREASURE!!
Welcome to one of the true pearls in music...
The best version of this beautiful ballad written by Sandy Mason Theoret. Willie Nelson comes close, but this is IT !!
From the 1978 vinyl-album on Elektra Records... Well.. just E N J O Y !!!
THE ALBUM IS A CLASSIC, Start to Finish... so proud to have it in my collection, near mint, too :)) !
This Jack Clement album features the original version of his song 'Gone Girl' , which was picked up by the Dutch singer Jack Jersey too, who made it one of his biggest hits.
With the album being fresh for Clement he patched 'Gone Girl' on to his longtime friend Johnny Cash, too. It became the titlesong for one of the two 1978 Cash-album.
Jack Clement produced the Johnny Cash album 'Gone Girl' too. So it was no coincidence that the Allen Reynolds song 'It'll be her' appeared on both the albums.
Jack Clement was always more a producer than a recording artist. He started producing in the early days of Sun Records in Memphis and was sitting behind the recordingboard for many many sessions in those days.
Jack Clement has also written lots of songs: some of Cash's his earliest hits like 'Ballad of a teenage Queen', 'Down the Street to 301' and 'Guess things happen that way' . He also wrote 'It'll be me' for Jerry lee Lewis and 'Let's all help the cowboys sing the blues' for Waylon Jennings, amongst others).
In 1982 he pitched another song from this 1978-album to Johnny Cash (when he produced yet another Johnny Cash-album) namely 'We must believe in magic' for release on the 1982 'The Adventures of Johnny Cash'.

Love and Hope and Peace to all of you

I was his CNA the day he passed. I was In his home with 2 ginger cats.. smh.. this still makes me cry.. Nights like this
We played at my hubby's funeral and every one loved it as hubby requested it
"So why do I go through life, with nothing at all?" Thank you.
My father's favorite song. (And one of mine as well). He used to play the vinyl single of this Jack Clement record all the time, over and over - in the late 1970's, and all through the 1980's, and he'd sing along to it at the top of his voice and make it fun and funny so we'd laugh and join in. Later on in his life (late 1990's) I recorded the vinyl record song into my computer and converted it to MP3 - complete with the vinyl snap and crackle and pop - so he could listen to it. But by then he had dementure and could not remember the song at all - could not remember that he had even heard it before, let alone that it was his favorite. But I remember for you Dad. RIP. I still love this truly beautiful song. Tears streaming down my face every time I hear it .... they are now as I write this.
Thanks for sharing such a personal story.. All the best from NL. One of my alltime favorite songs too..
No tengo palabras, por tu historia bella muy interna...si muchas lágrimas, tan emotivo sus recuerdos que los imagino. Gracias por compartir parte de su vida.
That brought back so many sweet memories of my dad.He loved to play his guitar and piano and sing.I only wish I had some recordings of it now.I know he's in heaven with my sweet mom and I'll get to hear him soon.Thanks for sharing.
One great love song
It is impossible to listen to this without crying.Thank you!
One of the most beautiful heart rendering songs about longing for that special person
I heard this nearly thirty years ago... this morning it popped up in my mind...and here I am... enjoying this wonderful song.
We were fortunate to see Jack perform his live at Hordern Pavilion Sydney around 1983 as part of Johny Cash show.Absolutely marvellous.I am lucky to have it on tape.Nobody can match his version.
David - Fully agree1 Peace ;)
I first heard this in 1978 on WSM at 2 am on the way to Nashville' Baptist hospital for the birthing of my son. My copy was destroyed in a fire in 1986. I agree this is the best version ever.
My No. 1 all-time favourite song. I never tire of listening to it although it usually makes me shed a tear. Thanks and RIP Cowboy Jack
Unbelievable how this songs ..just brings everything in there out❤️
The more I listen to this song the more i become emotional..I love this , the voice does it. Jack please rest in peace...sincerely my friend...
Some songs you just never tire of . This is most certainly is one of them .
God bless you Jack. We will always remember you and your classic song that others have sung. But to me, it's YOUR song. John. Sydney, Australia..
Maybe the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
One of the most beautiful songs ever, I always though He wrote it.
So sensational expression of this never, never end for me , I wish I could do sing it to my beloved one .
Just a wonderful tender song by a great reader of songs- Jack Clement
I had the memorable pleasure of watching Jack Element perform this exquisite song, in Sydney, Australia, in 1980. He was touring with Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash. I have loved it since. It reminds me of my departed partner, Marcel Pierre Cleymans, who departed this universe of 9th May 2009. He was the love of my life. Linda Cleymans Australia
* Jack Clement!
"if you believe in magic ....
heard this on the radio today. What a song! Isn't it marvellous how you can find a song that moves you. I'd never heard it before. Wonderful.
Words escape me as to how good this song is
So beautiful! Thank you Jack😘😘😘
Without a doubt one of the best songs produced ever, all artists who sang this great song were great themselves, love them all including Willie Nelson.
One of the most talented and beloved persons in the music business. He will be greatly missed. I knew him quite well, and he was great fun to be around. This is my favourite version of this classic song. He greatly deserved the honor of being one of the latest to be elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame RIP Jack
I'm thinking Waylon (my all time favourite singer) didn't sing this because he knew that no-one could top this version. One of my very favourite songs I first heard it many years ago, have loved it ever since and never tire of listening to it. RIP Cowboy Jack
One of the all time greats a wonderfull song with a message. Its ageless i never tire of hearing it so simple and pure lyrics.
Experienced the absolute pleasure of hearing Jack Clement sing his beautiful version of this song, in Melbourne, when he toured with Johnny Cash. A thoroughly memorable night , thanks to two of the best. ❤️🎼🎸❤️
I've played this a thousand times so look fab
I was laying in bed asleep ...then I heard this beautiful soft song .to keep me awake wrote down the version and now I cannot stop playing it..so relaxing and sooo true thank you Jack !!!
This is music that touches the soul
Absolutely beautiful 😍 love this x
This song has the actual atmosphere of a cafe. It's just the song to listen to while you're drinking a cup of coffee. All you really need is an acoustic guitar, an electric piano and a standup bass- you've really got it made!
Can't help loving this
Love this song could listen over & over
One of the best ever ❤

My mothers alltime favourite song. I grew up with it. Crystal Gayle's version is also very good, sung from a woman's perspective.

Absolutely unusual and dissimilar voice, exceptional personality, divine music, so deep, impressive, touching, healing, purifying... What a great man...
amazing , thankyou jack clement , you are an outstanding performer xx
Lovely song with beautiful words. Thanks Jack.
Maybe the best album ever cut.
Makes me think of someone I miss so much .

God bless Jack Clement.
Just love this song - thank you for sharing.
Makes me cry too. Love it
The best version of this song. I have loved it for almost 4 decades.
me too .. there is a film of Jack actually recording it, late night in the studio .. I wonder where that piece of vision is now .. I've been looking for it for years. Apparently, the studio had been in session most of the day/night, and when everyone had packed up Jack just walked in, sat at the mike, the engineer kept it going and Jack played & sang this song .. I think it was the first time anyone heard it .. and it was recorded. I don't know if that is this soundtrack .. but I would give my eye teeth to own that piece of film .. .. very moving .. I've never forgotten the words in all those nearly 40 years ... x x x
It is on youtube. I have seen it...just gorgeous.
this is a beautiful song so nicely presented. I love it. thanks for sharing it.
lovely! this is the first time I heard it - the third version I found here and picked this one!!!!
My Lionheart. My soul, my everything.
Love it.
very beautiful song,thx!
As I look back on my life I I guess I have spent a good portion of my life just dreaming it away.A dream is a good dream if it can make a difference make things better for some one some place. This song is a beautiful song.a great post. Take care ADonovan43
remember when i first heard this song , i was knocked out . bought the 45 record next day . tony lee australia.beautiful
Truly a treasure. Your best recorded work.
Beats everything else by a country mile.
Easily the best version by far of this beautiful song. While there are some nice recordings of the song by other artists no one gets even close to him singing it.
Linda Cleymans, tu comentario me llega al alma tanto como esta canción , interpretada con tanto sentimiento, he quedado anonadado. También me recuerda al amor de mi vida María Del Pilar Osorio, recuerdo ese rostro de ángel, esa mirada suave y llena de gracia . Que Dios la bendiga donde quiera que este y que sea feliz. Emanuel Serralde.
damn jack, I miss you.
have always luvd this song sung by JC...beautiful...Thank u:-)
INCREDIBLE HUMAN INTRODUCED VIA JIM SANDERSON, HUNGOUT, AS BEAUTIFUL AS HIS VOICE.

Deep and Deep Voice
Beautiful.
beautiful jack
Love this makes me cry
This song was sent to me after by a reader of 'Undone'.
Touched my soul.
Jack Clement was not widely known as a singer. He produced a bunch of hits on early Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis, later on the first black country superstar, Charley Pride. Also a very successful songwriter. And sound engineer. He even produced a cult-favorite movie, "Dear Dead Delilah." And we in the Nashville music business always cherished him as a great character. But he was never thought of as a singer. And then he cut this great album, and specifically this wonderful Sandy Mason song. And all of us who knew him were blown away. It was written as a female song, Crystal Gayle had a very big hit with it. Then Jack, "Cowboy" as we all called him, made this song his own . He changed the female line "I can put my makeup on and drive the men insane" to "I can put my makeup on and drive the crowd insane" and suddenly he becomes a Shakespearean actor..or maybe a clown, possibly an evil clown. What an awesome, timeless recording by Cowboy, not a kid anymore, in his late 40s, giving the world one of the great vocal performances of all time.
Thanks for this comment. And thanks for the like on my old channel. There's a new channel on my own name, too. Yes, this is certainly one of the real true treasures in music.. To me Anyway.. All the best from NL, Rob
Great song. please release on CD pleaseeeeee.
emotion, he adds his, beautiful
