Wow - I have nothing but respect for artists like Jeannie who work hard to keep their voice in top form! Is it just me, or does she sound even better than 35 years ago?
She should still be making records!!!!!!!! She has one of the BEST (probably THEE BEST) female voice in country music EVER!!! It's a crime if she's not recording!
The song brings back memories of my childhood. I have tears in my eyes. Terrific song. I wasn't quite a child. I was about 12 years old, when Jeannie and Royce Kendall recorded that song. We had just moved into a new house there were a lot of changes in my life at that time, and that song evokes some fond old memories.
On-stage in the 70s, when she was still a skinny little thing, Royce introduced her as "Dolly Parton after taxes." Nice to see her again, and glad she's still performing. She sounds great!
love the Kendalls. jennies dad used to cut my hair when I was a young kid at his barber shop in what is now Maryland Heights mo. and I remember Royce and Jennie singing. Their songs bring back so many great memory.
Wow! Jeannie still sounds as great as she did in the 70's and 80's! Awesome! And as always, who don't love listening to Rhonda Vincent???? She's a hometown gal that did good!
I seen Miss Jeannie and her dad way back in the 70s in Canada in one of our rural lake communities...best show I ever saw, they came to our cabin and we hung out sang the next night PURE country and the friendliest family EVER...God Love ya...this is the best song and better in person with the personal touch...............
4/28/20...8:00pm...Sadly quarantined but HAPPILY listening from my house. I used to go see The Kendalls in Gulf Shores Alabama in the late 80s & early 90s when they had their dinner-theater there. A lot of good times. Much love from Mobile Alabama.
I’m sitting here with covid. I Feel awful. I watch this and I felt temporarily better. I love country music, especially the proper stuff, like this. This music brings warmth and happiness. It’s what I love about country music. A group of great singers sharing the stage and sharing their voices by coming together and making others enjoy themselves.
Best version of this song since Jeannie and her father were still performing together...loved it! Of course any time Rhonda Vincent adds her angelic voice to a song, it makes it even better. Thanks for posting! God Bless, Jeff :)
These women are all classll! !Singing music that is so beautiful.. Their Harmony is so wonderful.. Could listen to Gods Music tiil the end of time....God Bless these Women!!!!!!!!
Great song - brings back memories! Jeannie has such an awesome voice , well we all know Rhonda has it going on but let's not forget Darren! Great job to all three!
Jeannie has that 'Pure Country' sound that is Very Rare..... Has for sure taken care of her Voice.... What can you say about Ronda Vincent! Amazing. And her Brother!! WoW!!
I wish I could sit & listen to people singing live like this again 1 of my fondest memories with my grandma was sitting like this

This video was from 2013. 36 years after the original was released and Jeannie Kendall still sounded great!! She didn't miss a single note. This coming from someone who really isn't that much into country music. But, a great song is a great song and a great prerformance is a great perrformance.
This was one of my favorite songs as a kid. Up north I'd hike the dirt roads & trails singing this to high heaven. A lot of Ricky Skaggs to. It helped scare off the bears. And pass the miles... Little boy bluegrass, and his slingshot. God.. Bring me back there when I die.😇
usafvet100 I always loved the Kendall’s but you’re right about Darrin. Every time I watch this he reminds me of a Mortuary person. Sorry don’t mean to be rude, lol.
I had the privilege of going to one of their home area concerts in Gulf Shores, AL. I live in Foley. (Was born and raised near Chicago, Il.) Great music!
It's good to hear Jeannie Kendall again... I can't think of anyone else that would help her create the spirit of song that her and her father did except for Rhonda and Darrin Vincent.. I also know that this taping was a delight and memorable for Rhonda and Darrin...
Among my many favorite memories was too many years ago when The Kendall's were here in Norfolk, NE; the Dad and Daughter pair were then smashingly great.I loved them then, yet do. Sadly, we never get to listen to the great music of yesteryear anymore except on the most rarest of occasions. Thanks you so much for the upload.
It’s been a very long time since I saw her with her father, but after listening several times I now clearly remember them. What a treat to hear her now in 2021!
This is one of THE few hit recordings in history; where it sounds JUST as good as the original. Truly awesome. They must have practiced long and hard to achieve such Godly perfection. And of course, Rhonda could embellish a "stump on a log" and make it seem like a "Queen Anne classic". For she is truly a treasure beyond measure. May Jesus brest Jeannie's father's soul.
I played keyboards for the kendalls in the late 80s. It was my first artist gig in Nashville and they were two of the nicest people that I met in this business.
Many years ago Jeannie and her dad were traveling through Washington State and stopped to pick up a few things at the store that I was working at. I checked them out and kept the fact that I knew who they were to myself out of respect for their privacy. Then when I looked out the front door, there their vehicle was parked with The Kendalls emblazoned on the side. I should have said something. hehehehe But, they were both very polite and quietly friendly. I knew about the Heavens 'Just a Sin Away song at the time, but over the years my respect for them grew. And she still sounds great with the most expressive high voice that I have ever heard in country.
Great harmony. I love listening to rock, country and all different types of music. This was my favorite country duets.In the 1970s as a child I was living in SW Michigan (Dowagiac Mi) N of S.B/Notre Dame IN. We would listen to WMAQ country and WLS rock both out of Chicago. Listening to some of these classics brings back some fond memories. There was some good country duets. ( Conway Twitty & Loretta /Johnny Cash & Rosanne Cash/George George Jones & Tammy Wynette,)Athough The Kendall’s were my favorite. In the 80s they played the Cass County Mi fair our grandstands held 5,600 spectators it was packed. Sometime during the show they sang Heaven Is Just a Sin Away. The spectators stood to their feet immediately and just a loud roar was heard and it shook grandstands.After the show a table was set up under the grandstands. I believe they had CDs or cassettes for sale and they stayed to mingle with fans. You couldn’t get close enough to them so many people. I believe the same week Johnny Kay and Steppenwolf also put on a show at the County fair.There was a good showing for this show also but not sold out like the Kendall’s show. My wife and I were married on Friday May 22,1998 a small gathering of immediate family to witness at the County Courthouse. I believe it was the next day or a few days after there was a news brief that Royce Kendall had passed away. It was very sad. I remember hearing from people that had the opportunity to meet him.They said he was a very down to earth and a nice man. They also said his daughter Jeannie is very nice person.
Jeannie was one of the absolute best in the country music business back in the day. Here she sings, hasn't lost a tune or a note yet, all on camera and performing in front of this happy Fox news audience.
I remember this song. I also remember telling my parents how I hated country music yet that era is now my favorite. This was favorite song then. She still has the same voice 💗
Agree with all the comments of how great Jeannie sounds. And Rhonda, and the whole band. Can't help but remember that two-part harmony of Jeannie's with her dad, sharp as a knife edge. Beautiful!
With her voice still so dang fresh as if she's back in time in her 20's again , why in the "heck" isn't she still out there with tons of award winning albums behind her ? Makes no sense !! So beautiful !! Someone failed her or something !!
I’m still loving this. Grew up listening to the Kendall’s. When country was country. Got some great reminiscing going on in my mind right now. Great memories.
What I came to like most of this music is the fact that there's absolutely nothing half-hearted about it. Besides their beautiful voices, their mastery of the three-voice harmony, and the awsome performance of the accompanying band, they seem to be expressing a gentle but vigorous way of living - and conceiving life - they are fully convinced is worth representing through their beautiful music. Strong, lively, assertive, and masterful.
