That is one of classical songs that I love to hear. God granted him with an excellent voice and this song was beautiful. They don't make legends, like him, any longer. R. I. P. Mel Tillis
You gotta love when a singer can cross his legs , throw an arm over the back of the chair and lean back rocking in it while singing and still sounding as good as he did way back in the day.
I love how Mel ad-libs and inserts the names of Willie Nelson and Porter Wagoner into the performance--the two guys sitting there with the best hair. It totally livened up the performance.
Me seeing these guys with old fashioned clothes and long hair men brings back childhood memories. 1979 was pure perfection for everything. Westerns, guns, 4x4 trucks, atari video games, rebel flags, American pride, and respect for everyone who didnt fuk with you, Most didnt because fist fights settled disputes and then next day everyone was friends again!!! 💞 🇺🇲
One of my favorite memories growing up was my older brothers( who have both passed away) singing this song to mom to get her tickled so they would get out of trouble.
Yes Bob, George Morgan, Lorrie's father, recorded Candy Kisses and was a member of the Grand Old Opry. Sadly he passed away on July 7, 1975. May he Rest in Peace. Here is a link to him singing Candy Kisses. ruclips.net/video/LPjZPvXKezA/видео.html
I remember hearing that as a kid at the local bar. It was a dive that later got condemned. Those were the days when parents could take their kid in a bar and not be considered unfit. I remember a table arcade game that I used to play in that place.
Mikey Gilley didn’t pass till this year, 2022, not over 6 yrs ago when, you wrote this comment! Next time you might want to do your research first before you go making false comments! 3:52
Mel handed me his guitar pick at the Laughlin,NV. Riverside casino for OUR 10th Wedding anniversary. He was my request as what to do I LOVE MEL and had FRONT STAGE CENTER Lt. He is MY Coca Cola Cowboy.
Nice live version ... @ 3:09/.10 ... who is the dark haired man sitting next to Gene Watson ... I've seen in many vid's, looks familiar, cannot place him ... TIA
To watch these great country singers all together laughing and singing together is absolutely priceless
Man, there's a little bit of talent in that room, aint there !?!
Yeah, a bit.

I've always admired him for his courage and perseverance, not letting the stutter stop him from bringing music to the world.

Great video , love seeing the greats of country music Ralph Emery RIP . WILLIE , BOBBY BARE, Mel Tillis,in our memories for ever
This is REAL country ! Part of a group that put country music front and center. It just don't get no better then this !!!

Hello Linda
RIP Mel, we'll miss your music and your sense of humor.
Is that Lorrie Morgan on Mel'd left and wasn't her dad also a country singer who died early. I think his famous song was "Candy Kisses"

My God....Lorrie Morgan is getting hotter and hotter as she gets older.
Nothing like listening to classic country music! The very best of the best music there is❤
A legend what must be said but..VERY UNDERRATED!
RIP Mel ... another great has left us, your music will live on in our hearts ...

I feel really stupid asking this, but is that Bobby Bare sitting in front of Gene Watson and B.J. Thomas (Blue Shirt) at 3:12???
Better than Florida Georgia line
Rest in peace, Mel. We'll miss you! Same goes you as well, Ralph Emery, Porter Waggoner, B. J. Thomas, and Mickey Gilley.

Ole Mel I still remember the bill dance fishing trips. What's this from? Ole porter Wagner there also. What's this from
Does anyone know if that was Lorrie Morgan on Mell's left? If it is she is looking younger every day.
Yep Mel is one of the best in true country Music Praying for his recovery !!!!!
hedied
Yes, that is Lorrie Morgan. Her father, George, did sing "Candy Kisses" ... He passed away in 1975.
My country teen idol (1950's) and still love his music.
Yes that's bobby and lorrie still looks fantastic. Everyone knew that song except b.j., he just sat there stone faced
60 coca cola cowboys did not like this video.
I wonder how Mel is doing these days. I was thinking about Mel a while back. As strange as it may sound. He is a great writer and singer and entainer.
Who are the ladies at 0:24 and at 1:11?
Is there a video of this complete show/concert??
They sure don't make music like this anymore.
They sure don't.
How can we find more of this get great together with all those guest. Got to be more videos of this !! I’ve looked but can’t find anything !
I think these are from Ralph Emery's Country Homecoming.
