Emmylou Harris, c'est la vie. The Hot Band: Albert Lee, Emory Gordy, John Ware, Glen D Hardin, Rodney Crowell, Hank Devito. From 1977 Old Grey Whistle Test. Songwriter: Chuck Berry. | song title: Teenage Wedding
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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?"
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
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.
Timeless two-chord Chuck Berry masterpiece - 'the coolerater was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale' - who else could come up lyrics like that. Lovely version here.
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.
I have always been a fool for a good female singer. Emmylou has always been at the top of the best liked list. What a song bird. But the whole band was made up of excellent musicians. I don't know of another band that can play with this much chemistry. To think they can play this perfect without all the special electronics and do it live. An amazing group.
This song of Chuck's lends itself well to being countrified particularly when Emmylou is singing it. She sounds like she's having such a lot of fun on this aided and abetted with a great band.
@@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 "!🤨
Ahhhhhh! Emmylou! No one can ever give me the goosebumps on my arm's like this. Beautiful sweet beautiful beautiful beautiful. Standing ovation until I die.
When she arrived on the scene, the country queens in Nashville didn't know what to do. It was embarrassing how this hippie chick showed them what country really is. The Hot Band consisted of the best in the business. Glen Hardin and James Burton (studio) from Elvis' band. Albert Lee, Rodney Crowell, Hank DeVito. The best.
I can't remember what year it was 75 or 76, but I saw Emmylou and this exact line up of her band in Manchester U.K. I must have been 15 or so and she was amazing. I think it was at The Free Trade Hall. What a concert! And Albert Lee!
I was at that concert at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester in February 1976 and I got right in front of the stage- a few feet from Emmylou and the band at that time had James Burton on guitar. I can recall he also played dobro at one point and Hank Devito took Emory Gordy's bass and he then played mandolin for an acoustic set. Amazing night of music.
I saw Emmy Lou with Linda Ronstadt ------'76-----at The Troubador -----------OMG, she was a drop-dead beauty, & it amazed me that 2 beauties got along so well, obviously not jealous of each other. --------------Her voice was effortless. ------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Got to see her @ Waco Hall in 1980 with the Hot Band. That Black J200 with the Rose is Beautiful. I hope they only made 1 and it was for her. No one else could do it Justice after seeing and hearing her play it. EmmyLou brings back so many great memories in my life. Her version of Together Again is hands-down the absolute BEST version…..& I’m a die hard Buck Owens fan.I have played his music all over the country,but her version with piano lead ride,& then the cream of the crop DeVito on pedal steel. Absolute perfection!!! That song is why I started playing pedal steel. Thank you EmmyLou for your mere presence and your GORGEOUS Vocal.
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.
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!
@@raystewart6524 Ya do realise it was because of the state of these acts on the Old Grey Whistle Test that Jonny Rotten started his Band and UK Punk exploded ,yep them Bleedin Bell Bottoms and long hair really pissed him off and i never got to shake his hand ,what a load of shite this version of Chuck Berry`s classic song was ,there was more life in a morgue and that whispering Bob Harris would put ya to sleep . The 1970` was dead before Punk hit the scene in 1975 in London
Emmylou is her sensational beautiful self, and love the Albert Lee and Hank DeVito collaboration. But the more times I watch this the more I appreciate John Ware on drums. He really laid it down perfectly.
Great To see Albert Lee on stage I Saw Him many Time with My Friend Dave Edmunds and Old Friend Eric Clapton Great Voice Emmylou Harris Chris & Sheryl Sibbald-Crow 22-8-2019 RIP Chuck Berry 2018 Buddha Blessed Your Soul and Spirit
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!
