God, no makeup, no fancy dancers, just a pure voice and THE Hot Band; it doesn't get much better than this, and decades later she's as beautiful as she was then, and still belting out C'est la Vie!!!
some can some can't, name it and Emmylou can and will; she absolutely masters this Chuck Berry classic, now switch over and watch her master an old Hank Snow hit: I am moving on. She is the personification of talent.
Come on folks at this point in 2024, let’s all agree she has sung so many great songs with such voice, energy, and love… a true National treasure ! And she’s beautiful TO THIS DAY ! 😎😁
@@glennknauer2696 they have a documentary about their careers & as you well said playing together. It's very cool 😎. They're all outstanding artists in their own right. Cream always rises to the top. American music has alot of talent going way back to now. Australia not so rich. Happy days mate.
She is very beautiful. Owner of a wonderful voice. I think it's beautiful when an artist presents his band, it's a sign of humility. I was happy to see Elvis' pianist, Mr. Glen Hardin.
I discovered her in 1975. On a jukebox in a tavern. I was 12. (Together again was the song) My dad took me to the tavern on Fridays to get the rest of the family a fish sandwich from there. Meanwhile he'd drink beer, me, soda. Played pool, pinball and the bowling game. Great memories.
I can’t tell you how much I love this story. Growing up in a huge Irish American family with a midwestern dad who fled to the desert southwest to raise his family and never looked back, this sounds like one of our family stories.
if you don't know how important Emmylou was to saving country music , watch the Ken Burns Documentary. She ranks up there with Cash, G Jones, Conway, Elvis, Willie, Waylon, Haggard and Dolly. an absolute gem.
@@duane356 amen to that! And if Emmylou gets credit then Gram Parsons damn well should too. After all he discovered Emmylou and helped her get her foot in the door by inviting him to sing on his first solo albums. Country was just electrified by the incredible talents of Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and even Stevie Nicks who had tons of folk, rhythm, soul and blues influences. Either way, well put and witty to bat. Cheers.
She looks so effortless when she sings, she's like a bird , she just opens her mouth and this beautiful music comes out!! And she looks like she's having a great time too!!! Love this woman!!
You took ThE words OUT of My mouth about EFORTLESS....in OTHER way, It means TALENT !.....It IS so nice to spot It....whenever I see Linda or Emmylou playing guitar And singing so effortlessly....makes me FEEL so good
Albert Lee! Anyone with doubts about Albert Lee hasn't heard Luxury Liner from this same group. He could show up in any club with any group (jazz, blues, rock, country) and burn the house down. If he opens his mouth, the crowd all says, "Y'all ain't from around here, are ya boy?"
Chuck Berry was a great songwriter (especially his lyrics), and this is probably my favorite of his many tunes. Berry did more than one very good rendering of it...Bruce Springsteen and his band did a really fun live spin on it... But I think Emmielou nailed the definitive version of this song.
Hearing the first few bars of 'C'est la Vie, you never can tell' triggers a visualization for me of Mia and Vincent dancing at the twist contest at Jack Rabbit Slim's.
Written for and originally performed by Chuck Berry who died hours ago at the age of 90. Emmylou doesn't let him down with her rendition of C'est La Vie. Love you Emmylou!
Mart, did he not notice the royalty check that he got every time she performed it, or every time it was played on the radio? (He wrote this song while he was in prison.)
A woman with the face and voice of an angel. Even when I first saw "Last Waltz" in the cinema, I fell in love with Emmylou...well, not only me, the whole cinema fell in love with that long-haired fairy with a guitar. That love continues even today.
Her smile, her gaze, her voice, bring out the best in men, not a flame that rages and dwindles in one night, but a light that keeps on shining all your life.
For someone who was born to sing heartbreak ballads, Emmy Lou is a surprisingly fine rock and roller as well. In the 1970s, I didn't think much of Emmy Lou's looks. There were a number of female pop stars I was much more attracted to. Now I think she's just about the most beautiful woman in creation!
QUELLE VOIX MON DIEU, J'AIME CETTE FILLE DEPUIS LE DÉBUT DES ANNÉES 70 ET EN PLUS DE CHANTER MERVEILLEUSEMENT BIEN, ELLE EST TERRIBLEMENT BELLE NATURELLEMENT SANS ARTIFICES.
Wonderful video from her prime days with the ultimate perfect Hot Band. I saw her live three times around that period of time. OMG were she and her band great.
Charlie- Let’s give some love to ALBERT LEE. In 2 notes you know who it is. Man, he knows some theory. And he uses it WELL ! I love the way he doubles those notes. I heard this about 30 years ago and I just listened to it again tonight. Plug in and play - - clean. That’s Albert Lee. Other plug in and players: Vince Gill, Joe Walsh, Don Felder, Brad Paisley, LeRoy Parnell Nice to see somebody recognizing Albert. Tip: notice how all the musicians are smiling at each other/ enjoying what they’re doing up there. And you can hear it through the song.
Surely the Old Grey Whistle Test was the coolest programme we have ever had on UK TV? The sheer variety of the acts and the different songs they played was magic... I miss it so much. Oh, to be 18 again!

I was a little kid lik5-6 years old and knew all these singers personally at the weekend hoots. The jam sessions when they sat on chairs metal milk crates Punic tables and wrote songs on butcher block paper notebooks etc. what a great time to grow up
Emmylou, I Love You!!!!!!! I use to see her at the Palomino Club in North Hollywood back in the late 70's. Like "two more bottles of fine wine" she just gets better and more beautiful with age.
@@overcspurs8027 ... your comment needs a bit more explanation ... like ... " Please explain exactly what you meant! Are you implying that Emmylou Harris... smells funny? Well, first off ... how do you know? Also, if that's what you are implying ... it was a "rude" comment, in any way you implied... and secondly... she can always shower off... but your comment will always smell bad ! Just something to reflect on before you make another comment about someone or something else... " Porky "!🤨
Another superb performance that I have to keep coming back to. The old grey whistle test certainly had some great singers and musicians to showcase. 4:53
When God made Emmy Lou, he whispered to St. Peter: 'can't do any better than that' - the whole package.
Somebody already said it: "She's the ultimate songbird. "
You got that right I love that girl
And then He created RUclips just so we can watch this in the Fall of 2020 ✌🏽🇺🇸
Agreed
Nikki
And don’t forget the amazing Albert Lee, what a line up❤️❤️🇬🇧
Plus Rodney Crowell
Yes he is fantastic too
Albert is still popping up all over the world, still showing them young bucks good picking. 👏👏
Yeah thought it was him awesome
God, no makeup, no fancy dancers, just a pure voice and THE Hot Band; it doesn't get much better than this, and decades later she's as beautiful as she was then, and still belting out C'est la Vie!!!
And no people looking at their iPhones!
That’s American art baby! Pure country.
100% agree..
I was just saying this to my mom.
She definitely has loads of makeup on...
No piercings , no tattoos , just pure beauty and amazing talent. Hi 👋 from a Moroccan Fan .
Perfect right!
No judgment either thanks.
some can some can't, name it and Emmylou can and will; she absolutely masters this Chuck Berry classic, now switch over and watch her master an old Hank Snow hit: I am moving on. She is the personification of talent.
Song title is actually Roll Over Beethoven

Her dolly and linda ronstadt used to play together. Three hotties

Yes, in 1977 … and probably after that, too.
Emmy Lou is second to none however, give credit to this great group of musicians that augments this classic
She knew what good was
Rodney crowell for one
72 years old in 2024, loving it like it was yesterday ❤
It will never be done better than Emmy Lou and the Hot Band.
We were all young once, but if I had to come back I want to live next door to Emmylou, I'll take it from there.🤩
Me too
You would be in a really tall apartment building
I don't want to live next door , I want to be the butler. 😂
Le bon temps du folk, rock, country.
when Chuck Berry writes a hit, it stays a hit. love emmylou
Very true. Not many can say this.
Great number by a great artist, performed by another great. She was a pretty woman too. Could have been a model if she wasn't musical!
Yeah, but she takes this song to another level. Wish I could have seen them both perform this song together
Emmylou is much prettier to look at than Chuck Berry!
Amen. It just never gets old.
This young lady has only gotten better with age. We don't have to many classy ladies like this left
No we don't. They're all half naked with not even the talent in Emmys pinkie finger.
Her bass guitar player is from my home town
AGREE. have no noticed she's even more attractive with silver hair.
She is very beautiful. Owner of a wonderful voice. I think it's beautiful when an artist presents his band, it's a sign of humility. I was happy to see Elvis' pianist, Mr. Glen Hardin.
Did not know that was Elvis' pianist wow
0:06 0:07
God I love old Hippies.
Without hippies your pants falll down.
Perfect song for sweet Emmy!
One of the best guitarists around. Albert Lee
I thought it was Mr. Lee! Thanks for the confirmation.👍
He played for the Everly Brothers too. Damn good guitarist
Yes he is.
Eric Clapton said he was the best and gave him a guitar, if I recall correctly; you could pull it up on the net.
@@clintmcleod4482 Her band's listed in the info section under the vid. Poke that teeny triangle!

What a great story!

country music didn't need saving, it's been granite strong since the late thirties.
Nope. And it most certainly ain't now, at least from a musical perspective.
Great show thanks to dvr i can see it over and over.

THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EFFORTLESS IVE EVER SEEN
Country sass to the max. Angels voice cures it all.
She is one of the best voices ever, a true American treasure!!! Love all eras of her career and love how gracefully she has grown up!!!
Who doesn’t love Emmylou?
Yessss!!!❤❤❤🇨🇭
Albert Lee ! Great guitarist and always seems to enjoy himself!
mm.,
Albert Lee is always a well loved guest and guitarplayer when other stars need a real pro
Albert Lee! Anyone with doubts about Albert Lee hasn't heard Luxury Liner from this same group.
He could show up in any club with any group (jazz, blues, rock, country) and burn the house down. If he opens his mouth, the crowd all says, "Y'all ain't from around here, are ya boy?"
I think Albert came out of the womb playing excellent guitar!
Besides Emmy - I LOVE seeing Albert Lee AND Rodney Crowell (still) THIS Young !!!! INCREDIBLE Memories !!!
I saw Albert Lee perform last night in Vancouver. He is incredible.
Albert Lee 😊
Albert Lee on guitar. Legend.
God she's such a beautiful woman
How could you not fall in love if you were around her.
A unique singer
Et son visage dégage une expression timide et réservée, qui contribue à lui donner encore plus de charme.
Albert Lee is a VERY underrated picker.
I don't think he is underrated. Listen to him once and you know how great he is.
Friends of mine Damien,oriel often played her music on tape recovery so listened to her music continually clarrie maher
Hello how are you doing today…?
To think that I saw her for the first time ever here on RUclips yesterday after all these years! Great singer, great song.
Einfach nur Spitze! Ich liebe diesen Song ❤
I believe that backup singer with the blue and white stratocaster is Rodney Crowell.
JE CONNAIS EMMYLOU HARRIS depuis les années 70-80 TANKS FOR YOUR BEST SONGS T LOVE YOU ROBERT
I see a young Albert Lee playing lead guitar! Have always loved Emmylou. A classic country singer who will never be equaled!
Albert Lee, one of the best guitarists on the lanet.
Rodney Crowell no slouch either
"The" best guitar player on the planet
Said Clapton
I think he was born playing a guitar
Talented lady that does it again,from way back then😎
This song I hope is in history!!! Listen to the words Chuck Berry bless him
Be nice if they titled it correctly “You never can tell”
Ce brave Chuck Berry a fait vivre beaucoup d'artistes en panne d'insiration ; une jolie voie cette Emmy.
Heavenly beautiful lady (and song) ❤❤❤
There is two kind of man : those who love Emmylou Harris and those who do not know Emmylou Harris.
Mine has all her albums. I think he's a keeper!
I recently discovered her songs & I am astonished!! She is a singer of a very different world. I say it dream world
---Said Willie Nelson.
I was raised up on Emmy, thanks mom!
She is really wonderful,,, what a lovely Soul, clean face.
Great voice, but what an amazing Chuck song, hey. Downunder, South Australia
Chuck Berry was a great songwriter (especially his lyrics), and this is probably my favorite of his many tunes. Berry did more than one very good rendering of it...Bruce Springsteen and his band did a really fun live spin on it...
But I think Emmielou nailed the definitive version of this song.
My God, emmylou was always just amazingly beautiful
And she still is
Dang! Both Rodney Crowell and Albert Lee? Plus she always looks like a beautiful angel.
very good
ca c est de la musique!!!
Awesome!! EmmyLou is pure talent!! She is a beauty as well!!

@@brucematlock4161 right, and I bet this song is a money maker in terms of royalties. It’s vastly used throughout the years for all sorts of media.
la belle Emmylou avec cette voix mélodieuse....merci xo
Wow a classic CBerry rocker and they make it their own ... The HOT BAND indeed. Electric guitars never blended so well and lord what a voice...
And at the end she gives her peeps some props. That's old school and should be way it is now.
Emmylou is purely beautiful one of the greatest female singers ever
My all time favorite female singer, and there is a lot of competition.
@@jackwalker1822 ciao Jack!🙋😍😘💘🍀
👍👍👏👏❤️❤️🇨🇭
Emmylou is such a class act, I adore her!
C'mon Albert Lee.... absolutely amazing
Thier will just never be anything like her ever again she is one of a kind and one of the greatest of all time in my opinion
When I saw this show on the television it changed my whole view of country music.
A woman with the face and voice of an angel. Even when I first saw "Last Waltz" in the cinema, I fell in love with Emmylou...well, not only me, the whole cinema fell in love with that long-haired fairy with a guitar. That love continues even today.

OGWT got me in to so much different music and is the reason I'm a huge Emmylou fan.
Albert always slays on the guitar.
Mhaith thu dolly. Three fantastic musicians .❤❤❤
Man, I love this version. She gives it the Nashville treatment, alright. Country rock needs to come back.
Yes. Love the musicians and that double instrumental in the middle.
Emmy Lou and Linda....true perfection!

When the voices of Emmy and Rodney mix, it's heaven.
Great gift she has..Thankyou for your gift
Man she was a looker
As I get older she gets prettier.
Love from an old English dude😂
I was two when this video was recorded. I am in retroactive love
Absolutely stunning looking woman x and an amazing artist x

A heavenly rock n’ roll tune sung by an angel
Tres bon!
Emmylou immer wieder hörenswert !!
Tellement belle et talentueuse je l ai toujours aimé mais je n ai jamai osé lui dite yavait toujours du mondes .
The Hot Band was awesome!
Man, those television shows from back in the day had the best performances from it's artists.
Old grey whistle test. Eclectic mix as long as you were good.
Loved the pomp part -they made county and Gödel cool and always wore suits

Great performance.
What a legendary tune sang by a truly beautiful lady . WOW she still pulls strings hearing her voice . Very pretty too BCK then . Well cute ..
I would highly recommend the Ken Burns documentary about country music! Not what it has about Emmylou , but the music in a historical sense.
They truly did justice to a great Chuck Berry masterpiece.
They covered it best.
Wonderful video from her prime days with the ultimate perfect Hot Band. I saw her live three times around that period of time. OMG were she and her band great.
Albert Lee!!! Who knew he was ever that young.
just can't get enough of this clip. what a smile, beautiful eyes and that voice.
I’m with you Ross.Fantastic song and performance
And great musicians! Rodney Crowell looks about 15, though, but very talented. Love that pedal steel player too.
Always a treat to watch Albert Lee playing.
Throughout music history Albert Lee crops up. What a master of his art
Charlie-
Let’s give some love to ALBERT LEE. In 2 notes you know who it is. Man, he knows some theory. And he uses it WELL !
I love the way he doubles those notes.

Plug in and play - - clean. That’s Albert Lee.
