#TheMidnightSpecial #music #1970s
Nothing beats old country music
yes sir! country music!
This is what country music should sound like!.
I agree!
What talent on this show!
Absolutely!
I love that banjo and steel guitar
ABSOLUTELY! I PRAY THIS STYLE OF COUNTRY MUSIC RETURNS SO VERY SOON...IT HAS BEEN MISSED BY MILLIONS
These were the good old days of Country Western Music not like the crap they have today.
VH6V+G5R Greenville, South Carolina , you are right about that.
@@virginiadavis7713½
Yep
I hope post Malone can breath some life into the genre, I just worry he’s gonna overproduce the hell out of it.
Man, this is an all-time All-Star collection of classic country SUPERSTARS. What a line-up...And Loretta and Marty were just too adorable and sassy in their co-hosting chemistry!
7:50
Growing up with the midnight special was really special RIP free music 😢
I keep coming back & watching this episode over 'n over, & sharing it also! It takes me back to the 1970s memories of my youth, and touches my soul in a way that only Classic Country Music can do! "Thank you" so much to this channel's creator! 🎸🎶❤☮✌
1970 grad and loved everything from Janis Joplin to Loretta ,Dolly ,Waylon and Willie, Dylon,Joan Bayez. What an amazing time to grow up.
Every episode is a gem, but now and then something magical happened when certain singers were brought together and the show unfolded like a dream. This is one of those magical episodes. Those were the days when record companies fought to sign real talent, not just T&A shakers.
❤💯 correct!!!
I love listening to Marty and Loretta.
George and Tammy were one the greatest duets.
George Jones and Tammy Wynette were the best duet singers of all time ❤
There will never ever be a collection of live great Country Music on another TV show again like this episode. Thanks Midnight Special!!
Hard to beat the power of the country singers - Loretta, Tammy, George, Charlie
Legendary The Earl Scruggs Revue
Wolfman's AW🚫L
Quite a line up.
Tanya!
I was 23 and in that audience. What a trip going down that road again.
“They say you can’t go home again, but brother I was there…”
Wow, what a memorable episode of The Midnight Special .
Loved Loretta Lynn singing "One's on the Way" as well as Tammy Wynette "Stand by Your Man". This was the Golden Age of Country Music...
The best Midnight Special, EVER!
My mon had some cousins who grew up here, around Hardy, AR, and they became country music stars in Nashville. They had a syndicated TV show in the 60s and early 70s and they were first to sign Loretta to a tour contract and appearances on their weekly shows. She became a star later on, thanks much to the Wilburn Brothers...they were a class act and may they rest in peace
Conway and Loretta's duet song is imo the best duet song ever!
How wonderful that these programs were recorded live. I love hearing the performers voices …the beautiful gifts they were given and so generously shared with us.
Blast from the past! Thank you from a boomer!
This is why I love the 70s! Best decade ever ❤
Eh, the best of unadulterated recorded music was recorded from 1890s to 1939 anything after that while it's still might be good music to listen to it was sure on a decline
SIXTIES, if you don't mind!
@@flemingcourt some of the biggest expansions in experimentalism at best and at worst the decline of smart pop the 60 song are weird era
@@eternallife9786you are not too damn bright are you?
Definetly one of them...I feel I experienced the best of 60's 70's 80's 90's✌️❤️
As a Brit from London UK and loving (always have) proper country music. And this is PROPER country music. ❤
This show is the concentrated version of classic country music. I was 16 when I watched this episode of TMS. Wow! Looking back, it's absolutely chock-full of hardcore country singers. What a treasured moment in time. Thanks for the upload. It helped me re-live a great time in my life.
The performer who really emerges as the shining star here is Loretta Lynn--her multifaceted talent is remarkable.
That's 4 sure
She's The Coal Miner's Daughter
I was one of them coal miners daughters and married to a coal miner he passed away he had black lung
Loretta was awesome! I laughed out loud when she told Tammy "yeah, but I'm not sleeping with him". That was funny!
Holy shit, this might be the single best episode of Midnight Special ever!
This isn't really even my main genre not by a long-sight, but the concentration of legend-level talent here in one show, the one-after-another legend-tier songs performed by Pantheon names... this is truly Special.
70's country is top notch guy
@@eternallife9786
No doubt about it. And it's like they got an All-Star group to come on for this show, one after another. Even Don Gibson's set is gold.
@@honeychilerider I've always been partial to country music from late 20s up to the mid 70's but to be fair it wasn't really called country music until after world war II it was still being referred to as hillbilly music we didn't really get the term country music tell the later reincarnation of the Carter family
I agree . . . But the biggest surprise to me is Johnny Rodriguez sounding like a Tom T. Hall clone. Glad he developed his own style.
YEP
This one hour show is about the best example of country music as you will ever find. It does not feature all of the genuine country stars, but it embodies the "soul" of country. It is truly priceless!
The lineup is a treasure trove!
Hi Jen how are you doing 😊❤
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😊
No one sings like Marty Robbins ! Wow
Marty Robbins on Midnight Special? Incredible…
Thank you Mr. Sugarman
🙏🤗☕️cheers
You are very welcome, Burt Sugarman
Dear God, I apologize for not knowing how good we had it back then.
The lineup on this show was insanely great!!!
You don't know how long I have waited for footage of Conway Twitty singing on this show. Very much appreciated
I know right. I had to go back and watch him three times.
(“Bum Bum Bum”) (“Bum Bum Bum”)🎶 whew what a sexy song, I need a cold shower now 😅 😂
This is the first time I see Midnight Special. What a treat this is. Sure wish Country still sounded like this today.
Burt Sugarman, thank you for sharing this historic show. They just keep getting better each time I watch.
You are very welcome, Burt Sugarman
@@themidnightspecialtvshowplease more like this Mr Sugarman ❤.
😅😂😂😅❤❤
Marty and Tammy should have had their own variety show after this !! Great chemistry, hilarious banter. Marty was a huge talent that left us way too early
Priceless Music. Irreplaceable!!! Todays music is all about themselves. These people really care about pleasing the people that came to see them, not just for money!!!
Conway Twitty just takes it all to another level. Amazing intensity.
I feel like The Midnight Special picked up where shows like The Ed Sullivan Show left off. Showcasing musicians that are considered legendary, and performances that are considered historic today. Thank you Mr. Burt Sugarman for contributing to preserve music history.
Like Ed Sullivan without the corny side acts
@@franka7208 Some of the comedy on Midnight Special was pretty corny. Witness Marty Robbin's bad jokes.
@@JamieAndersonMusic lol so are those pants
@@franka7208 yes!
@@franka7208 That's why The Ed Sullivan Show stopped being popular. Times changed. It was time for something different.
I Grew up listening to All these great Artists.So nice to see this.
I was born in 73 and love seeing these vintage performances.
What a show!
Wish I could have been there for this one!. Legendary.
Loved The Midnight Special. Great Collection of artists. True country singers. Real talent. No special effects or wild costumes, just great music and country stars. I grew up listening to all these country classics. The Midnight Special was the best. Waited for this show every Friday night. Always awesome.
Finally!! Been waiting on this episode! God I love Loretta!!! The Queen ❤
I have most of her collection, love that woman
Loved Loretta on this the true
Queen of Country Music
Now that was an A-list country roster. I never saw 'The Midnight Special' when I was growing up, and I'm really enjoying these full episodes.
Wow! Heavyweights of 70’s country and all personal favorites
We just don’t have this down to earth country music anymore! ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
I was lucky enough to see Marty and Merle Haggard back in the seventies and my son just was fascinated with Marty's yellow canary suit and boots never will forget that night
My Mom loved Conway Twitty. WOW.. I dont think i heard this song, You've Never Been So Far ....in 50 years! I can still remember her playing the record. Really enjoyed watching this. I was 8 when this was shown. Parents would watch these perfomers on TV. Had the records. SAD, to think almost all passed away. Only Tanya, and Johnny Rodriguez are still alive today, I believe. Great music never dies.
❤😅😢
I love all them songs they just hit me in my😅😅😅 it just touches my heart takes me way back I love them all
⁰
Tanya Tucker was another one of my favorites . oh and she still is
I love this! Wow. An all-Country music edition.
ALL ARTISTS WHO I LOVE, AND I REMEMBER HEARING, 50 YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS 9 YEARS OLD. Memories, this is the country music that I like, not today's stuff.
Just got back from Nashville, TN & the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, was fantastic! Makes this segment all the more special to see. My favorite part of museum was the Los Angeles, CAcountry rock connection in the 70’s aka Poco, the Eagles, Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, CCR, Linda Ronstadt etc…fabulous musicians~bands.👌♥️
Gosh darn,where do I even start? I'll just say this: What great talent we had.
🤠 Your weekly 🎁s of Midnight Special episodes are much appreciated 🤠 🤠 🤠.
Love Conway Twitty ❤
Nice group of special people who share their God given gifts with us ❤❤
What a wonderful group of country stars all in one show. Watching the show as a kid I never realized until now that there were themes with each episode (50s-60s, country, soul, rock). Thanks for the upload
What you see here on this show is a line up of REAL true Country music singers. .God bless them all.
Thanks a million for sharing this with us..
Definitely none today.
@@user-dc6mg2rk8p Agree 100 percent.
@@user-dc6mg2rk8pit exists
Simply fantastic show!
Great show! All-star line-up. I especially loved the Twitty/Lynn duet and The Earl Scruggs Revue. What a treat to hear the greatest banjo player ever.
Hi Jaime how are you doing ❤😊
18 years old in 1973, thank you for the memories! ❤
Damn! This show is STACKED!
Marty Robbins, one of a kind!!
yes I love Marty Robbins he he was good he was a good piano player a good singer and a big jokester
@@patriciajoflint5948 no doubt!!
The first series ( not counting Hee Haw ) to give country music a wider exposure
20 years later he was gone, rest in peace conway
Can country music go back to this please
Tanya Tucker was just awesome ❤
Marty Robin agreat country singer and rest in peace amen.
All of them legendary artists... in a 1-hour show
Hard to believe Tanya Tucker was 14 or 15 in this clip. Amazing.
Earle Scruggs is rocking out on the banjo and jammin’ with his sons.
Loretta and Marty can hardly keep a straight face together. Very cute.
@@Royale_with_Cheeze She didn't write the song. It was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey. She covered it at 13 and I think it was her first hit.
@@Royale_with_Cheeze Easy mistake to make. She hasn't written many songs.
Love Earl Scruggs & Lester Flatt; the Beverly Hillbillies theme song 🎵
My Goodness this was a monster show ! Little did anyone know back then that country would die and shows like this would age like fine wine. Thanks so much for this ! 😀😀😀👏👏👏
Country's dead? No one told me.
@@JamieAndersonMusic yep, the kind of country I grew up with. Except Sturgill Simpson, he's fantastic.
@@cindypruitt9534 That kind of country is still out there. Don't expect to find it on country radio, though.
@@cindypruitt9534 - Sturgill Simpson carrying the torch these days....
@@JamieAndersonMusicSwift killed it.
This is when just got up on stage and you either had it or you didn't
This is classic country music , when the music has roots and connection with working class people, not the garbage today which is mainly jingles and frat party tunes. No connection to everyday folks.
legendary lineup this episode!
Loretta without doubt the queen
All I can say is WOW! That was a treat seeing this line-up.
Marty Robbins is the King 👑
Tanya Tucker was probably only 14 or 15 here. Amazing.
A country music masterpiece
This brings my childhood back to life. On a side note.... other than those old Crisco commercials, i believe this is the only time i have ever seen Loretta Lynn wearing slacks. This is a fantastic collection of 70's country music headliners.
Yeeeee-haaaaawwww! Some great variety week to week on these Midnight Specials.
Great talent. Sad that most are gone now.
they all look so young
Tanya Tucker was 15 years old. Amazing
Still fourteen, actually.
I think she is the only one that is still alive here.
@@harmonium8198 I stand corrected. Thanks!
She had already perfected the signature billy goat voice warble.
@@truthoverfacts9254 Johnny Rodriguez is still working and recently recorded with Tanya Tucker
What a lineup of stars. Can't get much better than this. The producer of this show really hit a home run on this one.
Ta,my and g3orge w3re greÀt love 5he. Rip 5hanks❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unbelievable this was 50 years ago and to me probably one of the top shows of my lifetime - I was 17 when this aired. Marty & Loretta Super talented are my all time favorites but this night had major talent but that's what made the Midnight Special so great was the musical talent every weekend. I don't think any music shows has ever come close.
Back when singers had talent, and country music was real, not the crap show pushed on us today.
I seen Conway Twitty in 1981. I've never heard such a voice since...
Spectacular Midnight special 💯
Hi Theresa how are you doing today 😊❤
Wow, what a treat! Thank you so much for this country edition.
25:43-Loretta and Marty doing a duet of "Singing the Blues" and 26:40, Marty moving his lips in time to Loretta's singing!
This is amazing! True lyrics, true (no tech) sound! And the clothes…..I FRICKIN LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS EDITION of Midnight Special! Thinking of you, Moma and Daddy!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
No show Jones definitely showed for this show!!!🥰🥰🥰
I love this I can close my eyes and I go back to when this came on the first time it’s just like it was yesterday
Unbelievable lineup of all my favorites. God bless thier wonderful souls.
I'm so glad this was posted. What a great show. I watched growing up. Was a rock fan mostly. But as I've grown, my tastes have expanded. Love Loretta among many others.
Amen we grew up on this with my family and uncles and aunts
Thank you very much you brang back so much of my youth 😊Thank you 😊
I am sure country music will never die!
It’s classic country time here at 1:00 am with the midnight special !!! Space ace Ron ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Came across my feed early this morning. Made my wife smile since she’s been a country fan all along 😏
These uploads are great. Thanks Burt
Loretta, just a delightful beautiful shining light ❤Tammy, such a lovely beautiful woman with gorgeous hair ❤and Tanya was just a baby finding her way. I always loved Tammy ,especially after life with George, and Tanya in the late 80s. Seeing this just reminds me how incredible Loretta was from starting on earth to the day she got her wings ❤. Thank you so much for this ❤. 2024 and old country still beats everything else ❤
"I've known him longer but I don't sleep with him." -- Loretta Lynn, introducing George Jones. "I hope not." -- Tammy Wynette, his wife. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG! what is this ? So many legends on one show! I am in shock!
Did not realize how beautiful Tammy was at this stage in her life.
