Carolina, Caroline..: Jonathan Edwards et Grace

[@louisechartrand1869]

Loved this song so special for his daughter Grace great voice ❤do you still have live shows? Ottawa Fan 🇨🇦

[@petemcfadden3543]

Heard this song many times at my Grandmother's house out in West Amherst(Shacktown) , Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦 and the first time I've heard it in 45yrs thanks to the magic of You Tube.

I saw Jonathan Edwards twice in 3 days in Maine. Seeing him play was the reason for my vacation there. He is AMAZING, and tells great jokes and stories. If you get a chance to see him live, it's worth it. I asked him to this song and "Nova Scotia." He graciously did both! Please don't make the mistake of thinking of JE as a "Legend." He'll be a legend later: for now, he's one of the best and most active performers anywhere! Check out his NEW album.

I have loved this song since I was a teenager. One of my favorites. It brings to me special memories!

[@TheCowardStrikesBack]

Love this performance.

God for KZbin ...such a beautful song !!!

[@HighlandKnight]

I loved this song from the first moment I heard it many years ago. Jonathan Edwards has lost none of his amazing ability. I must confess every time I watch this video, I fall just a little in love with his magnificent daughter Grace :) Overall, wonderful song!!!

[@Jmlmusic]

me too, it's frequently in my head.

[@spinsterlady]

I actually still have my ALBUM it was and STILL is an all time FAVORITE of mine and was so THRILLED to find it here. Love Sunshine too. Amazing man/artist/story teller; VERY TALENTED.

This song has to be one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. So beautiful

[@patricialyons491]

Great, so nice to see Jonathan perform with his daughter, Grace!

[@XSmileydog]

I first heard Carolina Caroline on a juke box in a North Dakota truck stop in 1982. It never seemed to get much play, and I didn't catch the name of the artist at the time. As a result, I never heard it again until just now. I did remember the name of the song, and used to regularly click on it, but I guess no one ever posted it before. It feels a lot like finding a long lost hidden treasure. Thank you so much for having such an astute appreciation for what is truly beautiful.

[@CarolinaBeachcomber]

Carolina called my name more than 20 years ago, and I finally came back for good summer before last. I feel the breeze from the ocean as I write this. Thanks for sharing this one, so beautiful. Jonathan Edwards is an American treasure.

[@stevetournay3731]

Well, a North American treasure... :-)

[@landofsuchbeauty]

Thank you for posting this!! It's the only live version of Jonathan signing this song (as far as I know). It's my favourite of his. I spent many, many years (before the Internet!) trying to it track down. I did a few years back. You know: a song refrain gets stuck in your head, but you can't recall the artist and title. Anyways, this is VERY special for me. It's a wonderful rendition, and I'm so grateful to you both and to the host channel for posting this!

[@3ROCKCOVE]

Hey, this Guy is a True Gem! Plus he lived 2 Miles from me in the 70"s,and 80's. You'd see him & Family at the Grocery Store! Thanks for Posting This! (Nova Scotia Rocks!!)

This was a great time in music, and I agree that this should have been a huge country hit, along with more Emmylou Harris songs, etc! Sincerely, BobbyK

[@rouellet]

The video shows there were 587 views. I've watched it about 20 times as probably others have, so that number is no indication of how much this great song and performance is appreciated. I still own the original single from decades ago. So happy to see JE is just as good as he always was.

[@jayveenavy]

I gave a thumbs up on one Carolina's videos. When I went back to revisit, the count was 19 the same as before I had posted. I'm sure you're right. JE has been undercalculated, but not under-appreciated,

[@phillecompte3438]

A rare gem of a song from a better time

[@carolynsandrolini5219]

thank you for such a beautiful song. It touches my heart.

[@lamoneyman]

it took me about 20 years to find this song. It was my favorite song in the seventies, then fell off. i managed to find the CD about ten years ago. I would love to find an original video, if there's such a video in existence. In the mean time... it's great to hear again.

[@TheShaneshar]

You still have the Pipes bud,..just wonderful

[@andcoke0]

GREAT SONGS 30 YEARS OR MORE HAVE 3 ALBUMS 33 LOVE THEM ALL

[@vivaldi7781]

J'adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@kennethavery6269]

Beautiful! song. Evokes a lot of good ole memories. Was wondering if Grace was the baby that Jonathan was holding as pictured on the back of the "Sailboat" album cover? A great! album that includes this song and of which I still have.

[@HealingSongofSoul]

yes, same baby is Grace :)

[@TyteFystedFolkie]

@landofsuchbeauty I had front row seats at a Jonathan Edwards performance back in 2007, where he asked the audience if they had any requests. I asked for "Carolina Caroline" and "Little Hands", and he politely replied that he didn't/doesn't perform them live....at that time, anyway. I accepted without any hard feelings....he had already sung "Train of Glory", so I didn't feel that I was owed anything.

[@PimlicoCalico]

It's available on iTunes

[@hatwitch]

If this is what's available, so be it..the recorded version was so beautiful that i have to feel I miss it..but nice to find anything at all...maybe someday someone with a copy of the original, will make a vid of it with stills or whatever...that would be wonderful!

[@stevetournay3731]

The studio audio is on YT too.
