I’m 46 in June 2024 and still blaring Alabama through the radio!!

I'm 64 and trust me, you're listening to some of the Best music Ever!!!! ❤

Im 49.....grew up listening to Alabama....love this band.....of course......still listening ❤

Hello Jay 👋

I'm 47 and it reminds me of my Mom when I was a kid. She loved Alabama. I remember liking this song a lot.

I'm only 16 but still love this kind of song

@@TheShadowKarl Oh my mom as well. I loved this song.

By by

I’m teared up too. I go back to these times. They were so simple. So good. I can’t explain it. ❤️❤️❤️

Prayers❤

I too have lost my parents. I am almost 50. Keep trusting in God. He can carry u through. ❤

Love you brother

Yes, they surely did. Simply Amazing!!

@@lisalaux2629 It kinda makes me sad to think that someone could be so big and known by all. Then just a faded memory. They made enough money that I'm sure it doesn't matter to them😃

I lived it. Even got to see them once. OUTSTANDING

Yep

They sure did, Phil. Had the opportunity to watch Randy and the rest of the band while I was at Ft Eustis, Virginia.

She's in a better world.. take care!

Yeah she's a good and lucky person and she luckily survived take care

That's wonderful 😁👈

@B Mo So sorry to hear about Your Mom. Listen to Her Music Often and keep Her Memory Alive through Her Love for Great Music like this

Angel Walker, I'm so Glad to hear Your Mom has Overcome and is still with You. She had Exellent Taste in Music.

Same here. Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed and healthy New Years.

🎉same here 🎉

What a beautiful youth that must have been. I was just telling my buddy it must have been amazing growing up with Alabama, real country, and classic rock.

@@cosmickingdom625 it was awesome, real country and rock. Unfortunately it's all dying out now:(

Same here, them and John Denver

don't think hank don it this away....no I don't think he created rap lyrics and kicked away the ol steel guitars

I live in Iowa City

Sure don't.

Unfortunately they don't..real country i fear is gone forever :(

No they don’t

I agree...well is fair to say that i dont listen to muxh country songs but when i do it seems to be about trucks lol but i love the opd country songs ima start collecting them. Good hear man

I just saw them this past Sat. night.....................will love them forever

I agree.

jpringle1979 couldn't have said it better.

Ironically, this song was under fire when it was released because of the heavy use of the electric guitar as country pushed the envelope.

Thanks for the Love.💔😢

I'm proud to say I'm from Ft.Payne, Alabama

Alabama is one of my favorite best country groups

I’m proud to say I’m from Etowah County,Alabama

Maplesville, Al

@@JDub-mi7fs Yes i will do that for you.

For me 80s-90s country the best!

Indeed

Yes

I'd like to hear the argument against it. There's no country band even in the same conversation as Alabama. It's not as if they're the best, there's nobody else even mentionable. Who are we supposed to compare them to, restless heart? They easily are the greatest country band ever, they had over 40 #1 hits, no band is even close to that.

I read they played the Bowery in Myrtle Beach 6 nights a week for tips only. They would lay in bed at night before sleeping and practice harmonies. It paid off to say the least 💯

My 2 fav bands the Eagles and Alabama

Yeah such a romantic song it made me remember my late wife,so Rose how are you doing?

Jade Neidler someone killed country music . It wasn't George Strait

Jade Neidler it's to good for the radio!

I'd recommend blaming the record companies first and foremost. They have an unreasonable amount of control, and albums won't be released until the label OKs every song. I've read some instances where successful artists have been told to scrap the songs they've made to be their lead single three or four times before the label finally accepts one. Artists take a lot of heat for the crap they make, but when it comes down to it, it's either they produce "pop-country" music, or they'll get passed up for someone else who will. Artists get very little control about what they make. If they had the freedom to do their own thing, you'd hear more variety in country. Not only old school country, but artists would probably go in many different directions. It would be real, it would be unique, and there'd be a little bit of everything for everyone, rather than one specific type for a very specific demographic.

My answer would be that today's country music just sucks.

So Jade Neidler then...

Yeppers to that!!

Remember how Big they were in the 80s

I do my first concert I was 7

Tracy Byrd keeper of the stars

James Otto makin love

Dude Alabama cornered pop country. Listen to this song. Has pop country written all over it. They were along with Ronnie Millsap the first to corner that market.

This song went number one on the pop charts as well as country

We live in an enabling society today. Everyone is damn singer!! Look at all the stupid reality shows!

@@chickenjo23 In fact this song was originally a pop song written and recorded by Exile before they switched to country. Same for Take Me Down.

Sold out to Pop AND rap!

Much love brother

5to is a seal of the word of the word and it has

Hello Virginia.... How are you doing today...💕💕💕💕 And I hope you do stay safe due to the pandemic over there.?

Richard Sorgman you're talking about The Highwaymen

Ok.

Late 80s but, otherwise same memories here!

Yes exactly!

I heard many stories of how down to earth Mark Herndon was to all fans. The shows for Alabama are not the same without Mark.

@Lidia Baker Well said

Everyone of them are like tht

Mark is very down-to-Earth. For a pilot!

i live in chattanooga

Or gave them shoes !

Shit I forgot bout oak ridge boys I'm ashamed of myself

Alabama was actually really the first big country band they made country music popular today but I don’t care for today’s country music it’s not very good.

Would somebody please spin up some Travis Tritt 'country ain't country no more'.

Finite Tuning I 💜 me so Travis Tritt. 💜💜💜
