JD Souther talks You're Only Lonely 

He sounds like the type of man you could sit and enjoy listening to for hours without interruption or distraction you're only lonely is a lovely song

This man’s voice is like Valium to the soul , and he is still gorgeous❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I grow up in the 70’s, and I missed hearing this song (You’re Only Lonely) I was in the Air Force at the time. Many years later in my mid 60’s while working at Home Depot I heard it for the first time, on one of their piped in music playlists. It is now one of my all time favorites.

An underrated singer, amazing songwriter, and better human being. His "catchy little tune" that was his only big hit, "You're Only Lonely," is one of my all time favorites.

JD Souther. A man who has read every book ever written,such is his intellect.

You’re only lonely. My favorite. I listened to this song 4-5 times a wk.

I heard this sing and wished all men could be this way, so romantic & vulnerable.

You're Only Lonely is one of my favorite from the 70s from Great J.D. Souther

Love this guy. Love his voice. He’s also smart and articulate.

Amazing voice

Everyone has a view of truth…What they don’t have is a beautiful soulful tenor and a falsetto you could cut ice with.

This is still a great introspective song, he stole my heart!

I love all John David souther songs 💕🦋

So underrated....I loved his records...had them all. I also got to open for him at The Coach House a few years back....loved it.

I have been a jazz based/music theory guitar singer song writer my whole life.I am 66 now. I started noticing JD Souther in the Souther Hillman Fury Band. Then when his album "Black Rose" came out I listened to it for about a month! The chord work, arrangements with horns and such have helped me in my own career. JD Souther is a great musician as are his friends mentioned in this video. I have never seen JD South play a live performance but I will! Great musician! I'd give anything if todays music had even a little of the integrity of his material!

JD Southeri s one of my favorite artists. He's a great talent and continues to make wondeful music.

I absolutely love this mans music and talent! Your Only Lonely is one of my favorite songs ever! Love it to no end! I could listen to it over and over and over! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Linda Sang backup for him on this song. He and Linda were a couple,and one of her few Relationships she made public, speaks highly of the type of person he is.

Very intelligent and warm person I like him now more than ever.

Even though it was really his only hit he performed himself as the star, "You're Only Lonely" really is one of the greatest songs of all time, stunningly beautiful in every way!!

JD deserves much, much more respect. Insightful, intelligent. Great guy.

Such a talented songwriter and singer! Love him still today! 👍🎶💗☮️♥️. Thank you for all your beautiful words! 👍😊🎶💗

Love this guy and his music; his contribution to country/rock/pop is enormous. I have all his early records plus the two he did with Hillman and Furay. Saw that group live (up close) when they opened for Eagles back in . . . what? '76?

VERY UNDERRATED WRITER SINGER I LOVE HIM STILL..❤😢❤❤❤😢❤

I thought I was familiar with all the music of the 60s and 70s, but amazingly, I discovered this song only in 2020! And I love it. It gives me goosebumps. Thank you JD. What a joy to stumble upon you (so to speak). Love and thanks.

JD is a great singer. You're only the lonely is a beautiful song that I love to play on the guitar.

Another one of my favorites by JD is the album Black Rose

Beautiful Song Your only lonely, great voice, Amazing writer and talent.

Really nice information on J.D. Souther and his friends. What a great bunch of musicians. Glad they were all friendly with each other. Nice guy.

You’re an amazing talent. The best singer ,song writer from 70’s up to today. We’re lucky to have you. Thankyou👏👏👏👏👏✌✌✌❤❤❤❤🇨🇦

Thank you, JD. Still spin that album. Appreciate everything you contributed to my growing up.

love jd he's a real singer of true love and meaning to the words in those song thank you love you and songs

so much great stuff.. THANX jd, eagles, and others who have touched my life thru those years..

Kick-ass man in many ways, as described by many posts here. Thank you JDS!

Too talented & adorable!

he's just wonderful....thank you mr SOUTHER!and he is here to remind us of how we can still be that caring and courageous.

He talks like he's one of the Eagles. Similar accent, speaking style, cadence. No wonder they got on famously.

What a great guy this J'D Souther' is. So good.

I loved New Kid in town!

Absolutely love his songs and still has those beautiful eyes.

One of my personal favorite videos is him singing harmony with James Taylor on the song he wrote It Used to be Her Town. I recommend it highly a beautiful song performed by two legends.

Mr. Souther said that he discovered country music "mostly through Linda Ronstadt". How many millions were turned onto country by her? I was one.

Underrated in all aspects of the music industry.

Incredible song, incredible person

Your only Lonely has Great words....they speak to me!

That way a great time in history. Great songwriter!

So handsome .so talented. 3cheers from Atlantic Canada

One of those rare gems, U have to dig a little and when you find him it's so worth it. His voice is like aloe vera on sunburnt skin ... Ahhhhhh

The "California Sound" also called Country rock was always my favorite. Thanks J.D. good stuff!

Jd rules!!

Amazing talent. Love him.

Bill Kurtis I've heard his voice since the 70's

One of the greats !!!!!

I absolutely love JD’s songs!! How Long has long been one of my very favorites, especially the Long Road Out of Eden album.

This is the best song ~

🥺I love you ❤️

I'm surprised there was no mention of James Taylor, he co-wrote "It Used To Be Her Town" and also sang with him on the hit record.

Prophetic interview

One of my favorite songs, but one of many great songs written by him

I only wish he'd done more like "You're Only Lonely"

I love you every thing you've written and sang

Awesome respect 👏👍

hermosa cancion, eterna !

Love this song, feels like a song which came from an Era of the lthe 60 to fifties

love ya boy

Toujours aussi charmant.

A true musicians's musician.

J.D. Do a live broadcast version of this song bud. It's great.

And we know who he is singing about!!!! He is awesome!!!

an EPIC SONG

In my top 3 favorite songs of all time🎤🎶🎸

Great writer.

I can see why Linda loved him..they made a cute couple

I found him quite believable in the small role he did on the tv show "Thirtysometing" also.

It's hard to fathom that their music has been replaced by this generation with Techno, no tune crap and rap. Zero talent noise. Glad to be old :)

New Kid in town is one of my all time favorite songs. Sometimes I like to put on a little Longbranch Penny whistle and free my mind.

At first glance, the thumbnail photo for this video looks a lot like Kenny Loggins. Both are responsible for some of the very best songs of the '70s.

Love ❤️ you J.D

Him live at farmaid is magical

Thru the decades w bill kurtis. Love that show

The best song

Looooove 70's Jackson Brown..not the watered down 80's version so much..

But you are 70's not country but love all the people you mention! And just to let you know You where a very good looking man!

Folk music and other genres have a history of shining a light on injustice, giving hope and optimism when down trodden etc. I'm all for a musician who stands up, sings, and talks about making the world a better place, justice for all, and warning us when we are going backwards in history. White nationalists need not tell these musicians to "shut up and play" after listening to JD, the Eagles, and Springsteen as you are probably missing a lot of the point of the music and message. There's love and understanding in the message of folk-singers, not hate. Look inward and rethink it. You can be good enough yourself. You don't need to put someone else down to be good enough or to do well in your own life.

Forgive me....but I thought a woman was singing this song for quite sometime before I discovered j.d souther...that doesnt diminish his genius though....

He’s look good ❤

Well, yeh, it doesn't have a chorus. But the last verse is not just a repeat of the first. He sings it very differently, so it functions as a chorus.

Would have loved to heard Roy Orbison do that song.

I"ve always believed that J.D. was composing his own little tribute to the late great Roy Orbison when he made "You're Only Lonely." If he had that as his intention, he did a damn good job of it.

I wonder if J.D. wrote the song You're Only Lonely while eating at Musso and Frank on Hollywood Blvd. I understand he wrote alot of songs there. He was later in the band Souther, Hillman and Furray

I never knew he sang with James Taylor on the song" used to be her town"

I loved his song. It’s hard to believe he’s gone.

🥰

Je suis à la recherche de : skay eyes de JD Souther . Je vous en.prie aidez moi à retrouver cette chanson. Merci d'avance

Narrated by Bill Kurtis.

He's like Christ. So cool!

Thought provoking guy also.

Who wrote New Kid in Town - J.D. Souther or Glen Frey

The AFM myth. Select M on xmsn shifter. Then plus minus select top gear you require. It will never go into V4 because it prevents the AFM functioning. Only if 6th hear selected will AFM be active. This is pretty much being quoted from the owners manual. Nice thing also you need 20 plus mpg on the interstate just run it in D for drive not M. There you go....the facts.

The Eagles-Jackson Brown-Zevon nexis.
