tres belle chanson de Carl and Pearl Butler

True Country Music, not the trash of today.

[@tomwerner389]

I'm an Aussie and totally agree.

[@earlinepage1028]

YESSSS, WE DON'T HAVE NO MORE, GOOD COUNTRY MUSIC. THESE NEW SINGERS, KILLED IT VERY VERY BAD.

[@TinaBall-dx3gt]

I'm only 59 but I love this old country music

[@carolrodriguez1915]

Very beautiful wonderful Country music singers love their voice just sounds great fantastic and that is my favorite songs.

[@PhillipHolmes-ui8nk]

It don't ever get better than this. Ever This is pure Country Gold.

[@doctormountebank7656]

From the notes of the late Shannon Burns. The dark haired girl over the right shoulder of Carl is Sherry Moyer, the first female country drummer. Her mother wrote the song, Don't Let Cross Over. Just a little trivia from one of the greatest writers on you tube music vids. We all miss you Shannon. RIP.

Thank You for the awesome information I'm a great country music history buff

[@mosrite60]

Thx so much for trivial info. IMO, these two were country music. Amazing singing on beautifully song. The best pair in the era.

[@GreggHutchinsVideos]

Did she also play on the West Coast ? That girl's nickname was "Peaches." Actually met her before she died. Just wondering...

[@hollyespen849]

What great memories of Karl and pearl Butter . I seen them play this on Grand ol opry . What a legend

[@suluetibose895]

Brings back good old memories. One of the favourites in the 80s

[@victorwashington7179]

Pure country. Nothing like it being played on today's radio.

[@lawrenceray3545]

You got that right nothing compares to Carl and pearl butler

[@ChrisJones-ij3xp]

Yeah, eh? This sure does put the "grand" and "ole" in "Grand Ole Opry"

[@Carol-kq8ej]

Love real country music.always loved cal and pearl butler.perfect together.

[@donroberts5282]

There are so many folks that long for County Music to return to it's roots. This is an example of the classic music that many of us grew up listening to. I have always loved it and have performed this on the nursing home circuit for decades. Now in my seventies, I have come to appreciate this style so much more. Makes me want to polish up the Martin, call up the boys and do it one more time!.

[@richardpierce4334]

before dolly and porter' before johnny and june, before george and tammy, ther was carl and pearl ,the best country duo of all times. should be in the hall of fane!!!!

[@tippimail1]

Don't forget Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris-they are over looked but great.They're right up there with Porter and Dolly.Check out We'll Sweep Out the Ashes in the Morning,which was done first by Carl and Pearl.

I enjoy listening to Mr. Mrs. Pearl and Carl Butler. It appears that they're playing in the famous Opera House in Nashville, Tennessee! I love their outfits they are wearing!

[@MrBrady505]

With the things there letting in the Hall of Fame today it would be a disgrace to Carl and Pearl. There needs to be 2 Hall of Fames, one for great country singers of the past and a trash Hall of Fame for what their letting in now.

[@rowenadunlop110]

What a great duet, harmony that you don't see anymore, heck whole songs that you would never hear today in this so called modern country. I know what they could do with it and where they could put it if it was up to me. Nashville has sold us country lovers down the river. Thank goodness for music like Carl and Pearl sings.

One of the if not the greatest forms of singing came about through country ! The perfection of male and female harmony ! ... my o my ..how we have fallen !.

Pitchfork: It seems like they just learn what they can in the garage these days. Harmon absent. (I'll give Little Big Town a B+ for effort though).

Wow I was 11 when this song came out. Brings back memories. I bet they were wonderful folks Don't know much of their private lives.

[@pttibg]

Dolly Parton didn't like Carl Butler very much...if I remember the story right, he told her she had to sing louder. Now she just about owns TN. But this is just about his best with Pearl, his wife. I remember when the song originally aired...we were watching it...have always loved the song. How you like those matching 'Nudie' suits? Classy.

[@jondoes8222]

He gave her good advice about the singing. I miss those old days of the 60s My mother use to sing that song in the house as she worked.

I guess you thought all those black guys you fought alongside were zeroes. My brother and a lot of your brothers are on a wall because of liars like LBJ and Richard Nixon. And a lot of those "patriots" dodged the draft while YOU and others fought over there. And we are not even going to mention Agent Orange and the VA's neglect that has extented DECADES.

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

@@rolandmiller5456 LBJ profited from the war. A war that was never fought to be won. Nixon got us out of the war. Eight years with a socialist, four more with the mindless socialist. Do you love socialism?

[@3rddoglayla]

We had a tall stack of 45's in Northway Alaska in '65, this was one of them. My mom and dad brought them when we moved there from west Texas. I was in second grade. There was no tv, and I think the AM radio picked up like two stations. I must have played those 45's a thousand times. Great memories, real country music, not the "city and western" they call country now.

One of my favorite songs, and Mr. & Mrs. Carl Butler have the best version out there in my opinion. Carl had such a divine voice, but adding Pearl's voice at the perfect right times makes this version fabulous. Thanks for posting this video that amazes me to see them them as they appeared on television back in 1963 or 1964! That is what my photographic memory keeps telling me cause I was just a kid & started learning to sing the first song (Their first & only #1 true country hit) in this video. I remember thinking that with those matching colorful outfits that even Webb Pierce might have been jealous, especially of Carl's gorgeous suit. LOL! Thanks for the work you had to do to put this 1 magnificent post on KZbin!

Written by Helen F. Adams. She wrote this number one song, Set Him Free for Skeeter Davis, Mrs. Ralph Emery, and trucking Song Widow Maker for Jimmy Martin, among many others. Her daughter Sherry went on to become the first successful woman drummer in Nashville.

[@dalecavallin9854]

Great music , great memories. It takes me back to the days of Smokey Rogers on XERB booming up the west coast from right next to the Rosarito Beach Hotel. It broke my heart when that 50,000 watt border blaster changed formats and went with Wolfman Jack in the early 1960's.
