I love this song and Mickeys' rendition of it. No one sings a sad love song better than Mickey Newbury. I would love for him to sing more of the time with his lovely eyes open and looking at us.
I was given Mabel Frisco joy and I started dating Fred. That was on 14th February 1973. We played it every day, many many times. We fell deeply in love to his music and married on the 20th December 1973. We celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary last and continue to be deeply in love. Thank you, Mickey Newbury. Xx
Thank you so much for posting this gem, I haven’t seen it before. Mickey Newbury is the finest singer/songwriter I have ever heard. It breaks my heart that he is no longer with us.
His songs came from a place of deep emotion, and pain.. While some have chided him for only doing "sad" songs..hey, they are real, raw, and authentic, and *I* for one have always been a fan (since the late 70's)

Beautiful sentiment and I couldn't agree more!
I should say, Mickey wrote it originally, so his "rendition" is the original - not sure if you knew this, but otherwise I agree

This is my first time hearing this song by him, my goodness what a talent
Im so glad I got to see him perform in a small bar. One of a kind artist.
What a find! Thank you for posting this gem.

I agree Sandra - he was without a doubt the finest singer songwriter ever.
Glad you enjoyed the clip

Not really - mostly sad songs.
