Charlene Darling sings "There is a Time" for Andy

Charlene singing "There is a Time" at Andy Taylor's house

[@belindapotts4879]

Who else has come here since the passing of Maggie Peterson aka Charlene Darling to embrace this beautiful song😌🌹

[@marwatson7408]

I have I loved ❤the way she sang this song.

[@juliesatterfield7004]

I was blessed to meet her precovid at the Andy Griffith festival in Mt. Airy.

[@naomilanier6914]

She. Was. Very. Goof🎉

[@stephaniechaffin1154]

She was great. This song should have been a hit with her singing it.

[@carl112466]

The song doesn't have much to the young. As we get older we fully understand it's meant. The 4 seasons to our life. Spring, Summer, Fall, and the darkness of Winter.

[@presto709]

It's touching how entranced Andy is by her singing. He stops playing guitar and just gazes.

[@dereksp6785]

I watched this show since my childhood and now I'm an old man. I'm pretty sure everyone that played on the show is gone now. Thank God we have KZbin and TV stations that keep these classic shows going. We get a glimpse into the past and realize how good life use to be. It takes our mind off of how the world is today. It gives us time to reflect on memories of the past and our friends and family who are no longer with us. When I was a child my grandfather and I watched this show everyday at 5pm, we always had supper early so we wouldn't miss it.

[@molliebean]

Rodney Dillard is still alive also Ron Howard and Elinor Donahue (Ellie Walker)

[@jonbobe]

I think Andy couldn't help but watch in awe, acting set aside. Just like the rest of us.

[@texaz58]

Maggie Peterson just passed away. This is a wonderful performance by her. I loved how in mid song Andy stops playing and just listens.

[@barrythomas529]

I do to.

[@georgehillery2184]

Nicely done i like it too

[@3422dave]

She just mesmerizes me with this

[@joeclouse2334]

I so love that too and just stops and listens she had such a beautiful voice

[@ronderulijkummar7453]

Andy Sure Couldn't Take His Eyes Off Charlene... Love The Song And People Singing It. Too Bad They Don't Make Shows Like This Anymore... Such A Shame!😪😪😪😪💔💔💔💔

[@vashon100]

How tedious to capitalize every word.

[@johnnypastrana6727]

yeah, the days of beautiful scenes like this one are as rare as blue roses.

[@oldones59]

The boys were a phenomenal band!

[@joeellis5766]

The Dillards can flat play.

[@tammys7802]

They're always saying some of their songs "make them cry", but this one really does for me. So beautifully done and poignant. I love the whole scene.

[@bettyratliff5804]

So perfect////

[@ronderulijkummar7453]

I Absolutely Love These Types Of Shows. They Remind Me Of When Things Were Better And Happier. Why Can't There Be Shows Like That Anymore? BECAUSE WE NEED THOSE SO DESPERATELY!😪😪😪😪

[@nghtwtchmn129]

Maggie Peterson, who played Carlene, passed away on May 15 at the age of 81.

[@cherokeedonna83]

When I hear this song, I think of my parents. :(

[@tabathastaples7884]

Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!! Amen

[@Bongo2Gonzo]

This one always makes me cry.... but I fight it. 🙂

[@claygreen4723]

Not me.

[@Derbymama360]

Aww omg I can't believe Charlene passed away today 😭😭😭 I was just listening to this song last night. I literally listened to this and thought of her. She was truly a beautiful ray of sunshine

[@DanielMartinez-wf1ui]

Let charlene her memory and her love will not be forgotten she will be remember and be missed let her music be remember there is time be remember all generations playing music it's popular everyone plays that song if everyone doesn't know how to play there is time.

[@lyndamintz4603]

RIP Maggie you were one in a million say hey to Andy 💔

[@lambo58]

Some of the best episodes were the ones with the Darlings, no doubt!

[@thepoopsoup]

Don't forget Earnest T Bass

[@edwardmartinez9459]

Very true!

[@JarrettAldrich]

One of my favorite songs from Andy Griffith. Awesome!!!!

[@33Luger]

The actress who played Charlene died this week. 81. This will make me cry 😢.

[@mastersonknives425]

She had her time and did a great job. God bless her.

[@MrJohnv2009]

As Andy said, I do believe that's the prettiest thing I've ever heard.

[@libhater651]

This song for some reason hits me right in the heart!!

[@clydeen1]

me too. I love this song. and charlene does a great job.

[@dalebaker1509]

Wow

[@vickiross1025]

It always makes me cry.

[@nowvoyagerNE]

@@vickiross1025 : me too.

[@julieroberts1329]

It's her heart, talkin ta your heart.

[@JenPep1]

Best version of this song....hands down

[@martinsimmons2359]

While I do agree, Alan Jackson did a phenomenal version

[@cindylou9433]

uh, have you heard Billy Strings do it?

[@sydneygottlieb9338]

Now I see why Ernest T. Bass was so relentless for her love! I loved that boy he was a rock chucker!

[@marystout1852]

Andy's face in this clip makes me well up with emotion. To me the look on his face freezes Charlene's youth and innocence and her kind heart in a second of time. I'm not saying it right how I feel. This is one of those moments where everything lines up. The line "we need a fire against the cold" is haunting. The banjo her worn swearer with the holes Andy's face when he stops playing to watch her, it all comes together. This is by far my favorite scene out of all the seasons of the show. That and the old fashioned wringer washing machine on their back porch. It's only shown one time in all the years on tv. Im75 so I get sappy seeing and hearing some things.

[@JohnStallworth-jn6zg]

SAPPINESS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF. FEELINGS ARE ESSENTIAL TO BEING CIVILIZED.

[@valdane8371]

Just a great scene. The comic components don’t detract from the authentic delivery of a beautiful song, and it’s completely free of unnecessary embellishments. The repeated shots of Andy’s face,and when he eventually stops to just take it in, are as good as TV has ever been.

[@jhandle4196]

How The Dillards faded that out at the end was pure.

[@sporty1701]

I was maybe ten or so when this episode aired...the world was a much nicer place!

[@seancurran9271]

Charlene has a great voice

[@briscoesjug1026]

She was still commenting on the Dillard's KZbin channel awhile back....Her names Maggie Peterson

[@bobbybatten2901]

100024t579

[@johnnypastrana6727]

yes, she sings in a lower register...cute as a button too.

[@cherryedwards3]

This song is so pure and complete.

[@scotnick59]

OMG: how I love this melody + the lyrics are sunblime

[@nikkimain5108]

Her voice is so simple and pure. This song is so lovely. Doug Dillard, (banjo), was an incredible talent.

[@OGMaverickGaming]

As you get older thr message of this song hits home even more. I've been listening to it for 11 years and every time I wish I could go back to live my life over. 😩 If I could there's many many things I wouldn't miss out on that I have now.

[@bigray2859]

I bet I've seen this video 15 or 20 times. I never tire of it!

[@tomsampson8084]

It was one of the prettiest things I ever heard. RIP Maggie.

[@kevinfarrell5357]

"How pure" ! A pretty ballad of sentimentality. 😌

[@melvinlondon7787]

Did anyone else just look up good ole country and end up here its lovely

[@marwatson7408]

Rest In Peace ❤️🙏🌹Maggie Peterson passed away at the age of 81 loved this song from Andy Griffith Show.

[@clydeen1]

I love this ..

[@johnsanfilippo448]

I still watch this show . It doesn't matter how many times I see the same things and laugh . Those to me were good times . Things were left to the imagination, life and people were respected and respectful towards eachother. People honored the American flag. They went to church. I don't know what is going to be in this country at the rate we are going now . Its really sad that things have changed so much. What do our grandchildren have to look forward to???

[@dhart8451]

The same was said in the '60s. Vietnam War, civil rights protests, campus riots drug culture out of control and as far as going to church, ask the people who sent their children only to be molested by priests. You have a selective memory, but if that makes you feel better so be it.

[@debsimon6232]

d hart John was trying to speak of a particular era by leaving out the worst of the worst. This clip came from after Korean War and before Vietnam. Yes, there's been much grief after that as well.

[@cosmicsprings8690]

Well said.. A Time before terrible ( cocaine the Devils dandruff) and other drugs took control of the world and corrupted every family in the world 🌎..first time watching this show..🤔🤣😂✨🕯🌿🎶🧘‍♀️🎶🌿🕯✨

[@mrbreeze9116]

We just gotta stick it out and there'll still be interesting stories

[@MrTrashcan1]

@@dhart8451 That was the Catholic Church and the Vatican--rotten to the core since the beginning of their existence. As far as the rest, the politicians and controllers created those events, not the people. Things haven't changed as far as the evil, but the good people are still trying to survive the best they can.

[@80scaveman23]

Pretty lady singing a pretty song.💝

[@jtrindle9383]

When I was a kid and this show came on I thought it was too old fashioned an uncool. Luckily I grew up and past the top 40 pop stuff - and the beauty of this music and the culture it comes from has grown on me

[@Harpo.jr70]

It makes you cry Paw. Well I'll fight it , I love his face fighting it. Lol

[@Kazzidy]

Just found out Charlene passed away. RIP ❤️

[@deeluv1000]

that is a beautiful song and it's real to life. You can see in Andy's face he was really feeling that.

[@carl112466]

How can anyone not fall in love with her voice.

[@joewelsh8979]

I'm going to play this tune for my mom; I'm from a big family, I want her to hear it before she goes..

[@jimrobinz3580]

God rest your soul, Charlene 😭

This one of my favorite songs they did on the show

[@silva147708]

One of my favorites of the Darlings! ❤️❤️

[@lindabistro1124]

Beautiful scene from back when TV had good shows with good values.

[@bobsebring3377]

A beautiful woman singing a beautiful song it's hard not to feel something deep inside. She sings such a wonderful picture of a young couple just starting out and knowing what's ahead of them but they'll make it though with a lot of sweat, tears, and the grace of God. Great entertainment all the way around.

[@saleemahfareed4790]

Beautiful song 😊👍🏾

[@edwindunbar9359]

When Andy stopped playing and looking at Charlene he's like maybe I need to rethink this Charlene situation.

[@jenniferwells2291]

My favorite of all their songs! Wish it was for sale on ITunes

[@singularman7589]

With Maggie singing it. Like I said I have heard other artists including the Dillards but none as beautiful. All the other versions tend to sound faster. Takes away the beauty of Maggie's voice and the bands playing.

[@kathybloomquist9448]

I'm having this at my funeral

[@jamminjoe44]

RIP Maggie (Charlene). We will all miss you Dearly.

First i love listening their music there is time but charlene she has most beautiful voice.

[@kentellis3019]

Got to meet Maggie Peterson, Charlene, at Somernites Cruise,Somerset Ky., she's a real sweetheart!

[@dannyharmon6529]

It's been said by another that the reason that Andy stop and her father started crying was both remembering their late wives. A beautiful song. 🥲

[@nealixd.3011]

Awesome. May she RIP in the Good Lord's grace. Sad to read today of her passing. Sounds like she loved her man, Gus Mancuso, all her life and did not linger too long after he just passed in December 2021.

[@tomelmore8431]

So good! So fabulous!

[@helenhighwater5313]

They left out the third verse: "So do your roaming in the Springtime And find your love in the Summer sun The frost will come and bring the harvest Then you can sleep when day is done"....
