What a lovely, warm, and classy lady K.T. Oslin was. You can just tell what a beautiful human being she was. And extremely talented. I hope she knows she'll always be loved down here.
I got to be with her family the night she was inducted in Austin, Texas. She was gracious and kind and such a beautiful lady. Her niece is my friend and has all the same awesome qualities… I consider meeting her as the best time I ever had!
😂🤣😂 I don't know what is more egregious, your failure to use most of the English language, or your use of four periods for an ellipses. I agree with the message though. 👍👍👍
she is the first person that brought back my love of country music such great story telling first song and video was come next monday i was about 12 it's still one of my faves
@@pupsystem127 In my opinion, there's no one that could write and deliver a song like K.T. She had such a special gift and then to add her beautiful voice.. there will never be anyone like her ever again ❤️
@@rebeccawoods1892 i totally agree i think it says a lot that she was covered by such a wide range of artists and also men and women fans and i loved her and so did mom and my grandmother it just was music from the heart and i heard 80s ladies when i was in my early teens and although i was born in 78 i loved it and made me think of my mom and generations before her it's still one of my favorite songs
What a fabulous interview! What a treasure KT was! Thank you for sharing yourself with us Ms. Oslin. Sing with the Angels and show them how it's done. RIP
I can’t believe in all my searches for everything K.T. I’d never found this interview. What a gem, I really feel I got to see the real her in this. What a sense of humour and quirkiness. Miss her.
Her recent passing brought a tear to my eye. I saw KT twice in concert back in the day - the first time she opened for Randy Travis in Toronto...the second was her own tour at Ontario Place Forum. Had the memorable opportunity to briefly meet her outside the venue as she was boarding her tour bus. Shook her hand and told her how much I loved the show. She was sweet and gracious. I always tuned in to watch her every appearance on Johnny Carson's show at night (she was one of his favorite guests I recall). Bought all her albums over the years...just loved her songs, her voice and her southern charm and attitude. Wicked sense of humor, too. RIP KT - you'll be sadly missed.
So jealous. I have loved K.T. ever since I was a kid. It was my dream to see her perform and to meet her. I am so happy she uploaded all the old concerts and performances before her passing. When I heard she passed. I cried all day!. I am from Ontario myself. London Ontario actually
I never liked country music until K.T. came along and then I was hooked. My Mother loved her as well and although her music lives on it's painful for me to listen to now that both she and my Mother are gone!
OMG GOD BLESS YOU! This must have been K.T.'s last interview before she passed away. I am still so sad. When she came out with her new album Simply a few years ago. I was one of the first to buy it. My dream was to see her live and meet her and thank her for writing the soundtrack to my life. I loved Kay ever since I was a young boy. I miss her so much!
I can't tell you how much I would love to meet some of the women of country music. And KT is way up on top of my list!! Thank you so much for all the great songs. God bless
Great interview! I was 11 years old when "80s Ladies" came out, and even though I was just a kid, let alone male, I loved the song from the first time I heard it. Maybe it's because my mom is an 80s lady, but it has that same kind of Wonder Years appeal to it. Bittersweet to look back. KT was a great singer and songwriter, and even though I'm sad she's gone from this world, I'm glad that she got to do so much of her career on her terms. She left quite a legacy.
Your comment resonated with me. I was also a boy of 11 years old when 80s Ladies came out, and, I instantly loved the song. The way she told a story was captivating. I still listen to it occasionally and her other songs from that album. Her voice still takes me back in time and carries a lot of nostalgia. I was sad when I heard she passed away. She left a legacy, indeed. Thanks, a lot, for sharing your perspective.
The fact that she started out as an actor first makes sense. In watching her videos, I see so much skill with subtle emotions. The "Hold Me" video is just beautiful.
I was born in 80 and I remember being a kid when 80s ladies came on. I really didn't know who she was then but it was played ever so often. I live in TX and country is one of the most popular genres naturally. Her voice was always unique and I picked up on the women's perspective. I had so many strong women role models in my life and she was so much like my grandma. Independent, talented, beautiful, smart, witty but yet vulnerable. Reflecting back now at 42, I miss the passion and class of writers and singers like her. She disappeared and didn't know why. 80s ladies came on one day and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I looked her up. I was so sad to hear of her passing. My great-uncle had Parkinson's and it's difficult thing to watch someone go though. She was a treasure.
K.T. was just as sweet as she was a great singer and songwriter. I was blessed to see her live in Lake Tahoe, sitting right below her as our table was right up to the stage, under where she was standing. She was so wonderful.
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this. Thank you for posting. Rest in peace, K.T. Oslin...and thank you for sharing your wit, talent, and beautiful music with the world. ❤️😢
Thank you for taking the time to bring a very talented and creative woman in for your interview. She will always be missed. God bless you and K.T. forever in my heart .
As a professional cosmetologist I must comment on her stunning Hair color and cut/style , Cudos to whoever is responsible, it might be a wig I can’t tell , I love it though . Gorgeous, one of my favorite songs is Do Ya . ❤️
Her voice is so pretty. I love K.T Oslin. Her song writing abilities are great too. 80's ladies reminds me of my two best friends angie, Kelly and me! Although we grew up in the 80's and 90's. K.T Oslin will be missed. BTW, she is still as beautiful as she alway was 🙂
She was a National Treasure. She was always a lady. Such a talented singer & songwriter. A wonderful Human beautiful inside & out. I am so glad she was still living when she was inducted. So many artist die before they are ever nominated much less inducted. Do Ya is my husband & I's song. We were married in Las Vegas in December of 1984. This December will be our 40th Anniversary. We still regularly listen & sing along to any & all of her music. I have always claimed we had a special conection because of the gap in our front teeth. LOL It's been said some of the most famous people have the same gap. Well it's my story & I am sticking to it. Thank you for doing this with K.T.. R.I.P. P.B.F.H.
It was great that KT did this interview. She was quite ill by this time and was living in an assisted living home. She seems like a wonderful person and sounds genuine.
Wonderful interview! The host was very gracious. Thank you for focusing on her career and how she became a song writer and singer. Great job! She was an amazing lady and her music was fantastic!
K.T. sincere the first time ever I heard your voice I knew you were very special! Man oh man was I right! Still love in your music you're talent a your personality. Thanks for the good times. Baby your the greatest☺
This is a wonderful interview- Thank-you Ken Paulson! In regard to Dusty Springfield doing "Where is a Woman to Go" it was Mary Chapin Carpenter who sang back-up with K.T. Love you K.T. and I'm sure gonna miss you. XXX
Parkinson may have taken your voice KT but you gave it to us before that monster appeared! Anytime i want to hear you, i can just turn you on and listen til my KT fix is filled! You were great, a beautiful soulful voice and never asked permission to do it your way! Thank you for sharing with us! I surely enjoyed every minute!
K.T. Oslin was a true treasure of Country music! I loved how entertaining she was. She had this way of how she sang. I really loved her songs. They were all so good. I was so sad when I heard she passed away.She will be greatly missed!!!
An outstanding interview conducted with grace and respect. I always felt KT and I were lifelong best friends ... best mates. And of course I never met her. Such was her down-to-earth warmth and humanity. Some of the greatest lyrics ever written that still elicits a resounding AMEN from me and I dare say legions of 80s Ladies like myself: Oh, we've said "I do" And we've signed "I don't" And we've sworn we'd never do that again … Love and miss you, KT ❤️
Oh my gosh, I'm crying! I love her, have loved her since I was a little girl and my mom pointed at the radio and said, "This woman is something." I will continue to learn so much from how she led her life on her own path. What an incredible soul 🙏
This was an amazing interview what a fun loving and gracious brilliant lady. I can’t listen to 80’s Ladies without sobbing cause it was my life. Such great memories stir up. ❤
I loved this woman! Used to listen to her music in my car all the time! Hardly recognized her here, but when she gave that big show-her-teeth smile, I said "there she is!!" Can't believe she's gone. Ima dig out her CDs! 🥰😊💖
One of K.T.'s best songs is "I Don't Remember Your Name, but I Remember You." Part of it was used in the movie "The Thing Called Love" that starred KT with River Phoenix and Samantha Mathis. If anybody out there has it, would you please put it here on RUclips. Thanks!! And if anyone has her singing "River in the Rain" from the Roger Miller Tribute I will appreciate that too. Fans, if you don't know either song version, you will love it!
So wonderful you made this interview while she was mostly still with it. I'm about her age and had gotten really interested in Country in the late 80s and early 90s when it was at its peak while Royalties were still coming in. Right away I picked up on how absolutely genuine K.T. was so hopefully it wasn't just ladies who were encouraging her at just he right moment. Now ofcourse the whole house of cards of country songs and videos have disappeared, but what a contribution she made.
Did KT have Parkinson's ? I couldn't help but notice her hands shaking. I really miss her. Such a prolific songwriter and an absolutely beautiful voice. Her voice spoke and sang with emotion. Her voice cried when she sang some of her soulful songs.
@@CCrawford522 Yeah, I heard about this but I still don't get it. I've never heard of someone needing assisted living within a year of Parkinson's diagnosis. I think she must have HAD Parkinson's for a long time before the diagnosis. But then, why would she have it for so long and so bad without a diagnosis? 🤷♂️
Sorry - On the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Facebook page gives the date of interview of June 28, 2019 as when it would televised on Nashville Public Television - I would say it was recorded a few weeks before. ·
The song "Hold Me" moved my soul. Maybe everyone wants to feel loved and this draws the emotion and yearning out of you from deep within somehow. Maybe love you wanted from the person you loved but never got. A truly great song and K.T. sang it with her heart. Damn!

She was still gorgeous! And one of the VERY BEST! RIP SWEET LADY❤❤
I didn’t know she passed. Rest in Peace 😢
KT is top 10 women voices all time for me!!
What a lovely, warm, and classy lady K.T. Oslin was. You can just tell what a beautiful human being she was. And extremely talented. I hope she knows she'll always be loved down here.
What a class act she was.

She was the most beautiful lady in every way.
Omg. She's gone . What a beautiful woman. To write words that relate to my life. God bless 🙏
One of a kind talent; How can you not be a fan!
Sure miss ya K.T. you still touch hearts and draw tears and laughter. Thank you.
She was such a BEAUTIFUL WOMEN... MAY SEE REST IN PEACE.
She got more beautiful as she aged. Her songs are a hit to the soul. Related by all. ❤
One of my all time fav's. Just brings tears to my eyes. What an awesome person with an incredible story. God Bless K. T.
Tears! I miss her so much!
Her beauty is beyond words
Her expressions. N sweetness shines threw. The best singer ever. I love her like the rest of the people. Rip
My favorite female singer ever! Wish she was still with us!
Beautiful woman, beautiful soul... so much talent! So missed.

@@marymarysmarket3508It was a joke. You must be the life of every party, lol.
I would watch this interview if it was 10 hours long. Fascinating.
She was so beautiful and so deserving of being inducted into the hall of fame❤️

She was fantastic 👏
This was an amazing interview what a fun loving and gracious brilliant lady. I can’t listen to 80’s Ladies without sobbing cause it was my life. Such great memories stir up. ❤
I always thought she could played Patsy Cline in a movie. She looked more like Patsy than Jessica Lange and she could growl.

Yes 🎶 iiiiiiii 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
God love her the parkinsons acts up a few times see it in her hands at times
So sad loved KT
I noticed it too. So sad to see it.
You can see by her hands she was in the early phases of Parkinson's disease that's too bad rest in peace pretty lady
Mary Chapin Carpenter was the other singer on Where Is A Woman To Go
My best friend bobby I love song hey bobby
😢 i can see her shaking
♥
Did KT have Parkinson's ? I couldn't help but notice her hands shaking. I really miss her. Such a prolific songwriter and an absolutely beautiful voice. Her voice spoke and sang with emotion. Her voice cried when she sang some of her soulful songs.
Yes, she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2015. It forced her into an assisted living facility the next year. I miss her a lot. She was fantastic.
@@CCrawford522 Yeah, I heard about this but I still don't get it. I've never heard of someone needing assisted living within a year of Parkinson's diagnosis.

The song "Hold Me" moved my soul. Maybe everyone wants to feel loved and this draws the emotion and yearning out of you from deep within somehow. Maybe love you wanted from the person you loved but never got. A truly great song and K.T. sang it with her heart. Damn!
