Earl Thomas Conley - Too Many Times

[@luisbalbosa3265]

Anita Pointer and The Pointer Sisters had success in the Country music genre and deserve to be recognized when listing black women charting on the Billboard Country Music chart. Please don't leave them out. This song made it all the way to #2, which I believe made Anita the first black woman to make the Country music top ten, not Beyonce. I love Beyonce but facts are facts.

[@maatspear]

Facts and she wrote Fairytales for The Pointer Sisters that won them their first Grammy in 1974.

[@wutta-do5zy]

EXACTLY! NOT Beyonce!

[@katherinecox1588]

Such a wonderful song! They sound so beautiful together!!❤❤

[@donaldewert2332]

Earl Thomas Conley should be in Country Music Hall of Fame!!!

[@codyebean1159]

Agree 100% ETC is the Man

[@virginiakirker6251]

Yes, he should ❤

[@sherryfulbright7576]

Yes he should be. He's so awesome & such an amazing singer. I just love his voice.

[@Onehappyworlds]

Yes, most definitely. Earl should've been in years ago.

[@rrm3339]

So should Anita Pointer. They’re both gone but in life..they crushed it!

[@stevepuckett8625]

There will never be years like the 80s when it comes to music. That goes for Country....Rock....R&B..

[@davehughesfarm7983]

Metal- hairbands, thrash etc etc It all went to hell by the late 90's

[@kenperkins7921]

The 80s sucked even with the 7os doing the heavy lifting. Anita and Conley are both gone now.

[@richardbassett9367]

I agree 💯 percent with you

[@OtisFan1]

One of the greatest songs of all time, IMHO. Sad that they are both gone now, Anita at the too-young age of 74 a year ago and Earl at 77 almost 5 years ago. Before he had his long string of #1 hits, he was already a great songwriter. Eternal gratitude to my dear brother Daniel for turning me onto this song. He was always much more into country music than I was. I am, after all, Otis (Redding) Fan1. But he has always shared. My older brother sends us blues and (Portuguese) fado. And I send them Yiddish and soul music. Experiencing different musical genres and cultures in general is good for the soul. I think Earl was making that point by doing this duet with a wonderful African American singer. Love and peace to all.

[@joelmosier8031]

Very sad this song didn't get more airplay. Both singers, now gone, did a great job. Love this song.

[@sharonjensen3016]

Their voices blended so well together. Hopefully they're singing this song up in Heaven.

[@RoryCoats]

Earl was ahead of his time and sometimes wrote over most people's heads

[@OtisFan1]

Well, It did go to number two on the country charts. Not too shabby.

[@RoryCoats]

Earl was a good friend of my wife and I for more than 35 yrs and one of the nicest and funniest people you'd ever meet. We sure do miss him.

[@OtisFan1]

@@RoryCoats Thank you for sharing this. It's always nice to learn that someone whose talent you admire was also admirable as a person.

[@edwardbaker2448]

This song gives me the chills, but I love it anyway.

[@larrybrown7455]

[@markblue5375]

Beautiful ⚘️⚘️

[@nicholasharvey1232]

From the synth-pop inspired "Angel In Disguise", to the rock-flavored "Don't Make It Easy For Me", to the traditional country of "Chance of Lovin' You", to a duet with one of the freakin' Pointer Sisters that even got him on Soul Train... Earl was not afraid to test out a wide variety of audiences with his music. He was the true King of '80s Country that younger generations don't appreciate nearly enough... it's really a shame that he had no real crossover hits, as he could have introduced so many new audiences to the country music genre in the '80s with his eclectic sound.

[@henryjackson-q5d]

A great song.
