[@kevgoeswandering8488]

[@Lee-sv8su]

That voice and charisma never left her even when she was so poorly ! Much missed

[@2066markcharles]

I saw Billie jo at Wembley and managed to get backstage and speak too a truly wonderful genuine women with a Amazing voice RIP BILLIE XX

[@markgowans]

When I was young there was an old lady that lived near us. She knew my mum liked this song but she couldnt remember the title properly becuause of her age. She ended up calling the song 'The carpet on the floor' lol.

[@GPBleakley1]

Billie Jo is clearly ill but not her voice, sparkling to the end. Perfect, both of them.

[@melw1916]

I never would have thought that a song with a title like that could bring tears to my eyes!

[@yurt-the-silent-chief]

Billie Jo Spears still had that cheeky wee smile...💕

[@cazandnig]

I was lucky enough to see Billie Jo live in concert last year in Nottingham - I was shocked when she came on stage at how frail she looked - but my god she still has the voice - when she came on stage and started singing "what I've got in mind" she was absolutely amazing!

[@kevgoeswandering8488]

kim from hornby new zealand sung this exactly like billie jo,,,, goodnight my dear friend , i will miss you always

[@jules9022]

BillIe Jo Spears - awesome, never sounded better, God Bless

[@monalisasmiless]

Billy Joe : Great performance and voice for 72 yr.

[@larkpraise]

Billy Jo never got the acclaim she deserved! She's better than Reba, Taylor, Carrie and all the rest put together!

[@aliceelrod8344]

justess martin I agree with you. Billie jo never got the attention she deserved.

[@aliceelrod8344]

So beautiful and precious. My darling Billie jo sang so beautifully although she was obviously not well...so skinny. Bless her, God knows I love her.

I saw them in concert a few years ago called Queens of country with Lena Martell. What a wonderful night. Billie Jo looked frail but her singing voice was in tact still. But Lena Martell raised the roof. Anyway RIP Billie.

[@markgowans]

My mum was at that concert. She said Lena Martell was sensational.

[@Kerny2]

I saw her in concert about two months ago and nearly died when I seen her. A shadow of her former self

[@evymaille9336]

Billy Jo Spears....God Bless her, though obviously sick, she sounds awesome!! RIP...

[@markgowans]

She possibly wasnt singing live because she was so ill. She died just a couple of years later due to heart issues I believe.

I had the oul iPod on, when I really want cheered up I was listening to the Queen, on my iPod, Philly was singing, Our Jeannie is afraid of the dark, I went up to the queen and asked her to listen to my music, the look on her face as if I was mad,. Philly she soon gained I was fan, just love the women!!

Awh I totally agree. Their show is fantasic and none of the younger ones could hold a candle to them. I've known Philomena for years and she just gets better and better. There's just such a change in how Billie Jo looks

Two talented beautiful women of country music.

[@jermar1979]

Billie Jo still sounded great!

[@nintendy]

Billie Jo has has been plagued with health problems since she was younger - but I agree; the change in her is quite shocking... Old age shouldn't be allowed - makes you want to cry...

[@clipperxa9214]

nintendy

[@graylyns]

This is a real treat!

[@UkUlsterElite]

Billie Jo is not very well in this video, but her voice was still as fantastic as ever, reminds me of elvis presley in that although both of them changed drastically in appearance in their last years of life.......their voices remained as fantastic as ever till the very end.RIP

[@km1951]

Great song from two of Country's legends Thanks Frannie for the share 5+*******

[@mkraus6804]

So leiwand, ich liebe diesen Song

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Nice... RIP Billie Jo

[@danfrost3043]

No idea who the other one is but she sounds terrible. No mistaking the voice of Billie Jo Spears, she still had it right up to the end. I'm shocked to see her looking so frail, I didn't know she was ill. One of the true country legends.

Poor Billie Jo looks like a plastic surgery nightmare. I wouldn't of known who she was if the man hadn't introduced them and because of the title of this clip. Great song.

[@TheFishdoctor1952]
