Nothing sums up a broken heart better than country music rip Naomi condolences to Larry and the girls

[@QouteTheRavenNevermore]

This was my Grandmother's favorite song. I'm crying just watching this.

[@MelissaIsaacs1]

Allison Russell is amazing! And, with Emmy Lou… magic!!!

[@antm64]

My cable doesn't get the station that carried this tribute. Thank you for posting this on KZbin...much appreciated!!

[@jackieyoung3359]

Emmylou is still timeless. Absolutely stunning.

[@lilpoohbear653]

She is incredible...what an icon

[@jackiebourg6869]

Plastic surgery when done properly is wonderful

[@believer7280]

Yep. That's country music.

[@ministerfeliciafregene9356]

Thanks for sharing I did not have CMT BEAUTIFUL DUET OH MY GOODNESS

[@AllisonRussell]

Thank you CMT for fostering this healing magic last night. The televised celebration of the eternal and beloved Naomi Judd's life was one of the most spiritual, moving experiences I will ever be a part of. Getting to sing for Naomi and her family with my life long musical inspiration and Shero, the incomparable Emmylou Harris, was an honour and a blessing I will never get over or forget... Love and Gratitude to the whole Judd family for sharing so generously with all of us. Grieving together, laughing together, singing together. Rest in Power Naomi Judd, your love and music and legacy live on forever. x Allison

[@justinkade0722]

You sounded so wonderful. Definitely looking forward to checking out more of your music. :)

[@marthahagar6506]

Thank you Allison for sharing your heart and talent to lift all our spirits with the Judd’s Family. The blend of vocal soul with you and Emmylou was a marriage of one ☝🏼 our for Naomi. The unselfish love and authenticity of the Judds always allowed us to be a part of their family. This is why it hurts 💔 so much. God be with you. 🫶🏼

[@tracythompson8731]

You were beautiful!

[@rainymctrixie1]

Thank you for sharing your talent/with us.

[@davidspires]

It was a pleasure playing Dobro for you and Emmylou! You sounded amazing.

[@jackwalker1822]

I don't know how these ladies could hold it together performing this. I was crying just watching the video. What a touching performance of tribute.

[@teresahixson8716]

Oh me too !!

[@evelynbeightel7245]

Me too.

[@justinkade0722]

Emmylou Harris did the original version of this song with Wynonna and Naomi for their 1987 album “Heartland”. Beautiful. 💐

[@magnificentfailure2390]

Emmylou, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt did a version on Dolly's variety show in 1976, a year after Linda and Emmylou released a studio version. The song was written by J.B. Coats in 1946. It was recorded first by James and Martha Carson in 1946. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipindaisd5Wla68

[@sojournertruth9844]

This was so gorgeous--their voices and harmonies we're angelic and perfect. Emmylou is a legend, of course, and now I will have to look into Allison. What a voice! I'm ashamed that this is the first I've heard of her, but I'm about to fix that! Just a beautiful, moving performance all around! RIP, Naomi!

[@kathrynnard8059]

Thank you tube for showing these bits and pieces.

[@glennweeks7176]

Angels here on earth serenading Naomi into heaven...

[@jackiebourg6869]

If you would see real angels, you'd know that these ladies looked like spooks. What a sad life without the LORD. Only the righteous who follow JESUS will inherit HIS KINGDOM.

[@10000liverpool]

This is the most heartbreaking performance of the night easy. The judd sisters probably broke inside during this performance

[@jayt4835]

It takes a special kind of magic to stand alongside Emmylou and in front of Wy singing for Naomi - and in the mother church no less. Well done, Allison!

[@sylvainswift3234]

Can't stop thinking of the days when Alli was playing in small places with her other great mates of Po'Girl... She has always played and sung with her heart, and now she's celebrated the way she deserves it. A great person.

[@skippy9659]

Allison and Brandi singing their heroes home tonight. So beautiful here, what a great pairing

[@magnificentfailure2390]

@Ashley1994 You seem like a bitter person. Brandi Carlile is very talented and if John Prine considered her to be Country, who are you to say she isn't?

[@jeanetterogers9556]

Beautiful. Emmy Lou is one of a kind, a legend. Both voices were beautiful

[@samshaysharp]

These two sound absolutely incredible together.

[@jackiebourg6869]

LOL

[@LillianC]

OMG. Tears flowed listening to these two ladies sing. These lyrics are so powerful.

[@donnawalthall7839]

That Allison Russell is the bomb…… I cried so beautiful

[@erichwyatt6554]

Emmylou and Allison did beautiful , this was perfection . Thinking of Linda R and Dolly P doing the original Harmonies . NAOMI IS SMILING - ! Thank you CMT

[@longbranch11207]

The young lady’s voice is incredible wow

[@clairefisher3132]

[@josephadiaz8343]

[@jasondoary6057]

[@davidnelson8524]

[@codylarkhart261]

It's sad to say that i feel and hear the soul of country music making at a service, but God only knows this is more of a celebration of beautiful country soul.

[@Crazy_Daizy]

Such a blessed collaboration of their two voices. Emmie Lou always sported her silver hair proudly and still looks amazing. And this is the first time I’m hearing Allison Russell-I’ll look for more of her work!!

[@joelrichmond1283]

She has been around years....you have loads to listen to....her solo album & our native daughters & birds of Chicago and Po Girl👍👍👍

Beautiful duet. Well done, ladies. I am sure Naomi was looking down and smiling that beautiful smile that we all have seen and know so well.

[@charrmmee]

This was incredible. Just beautiful. Thank you. RIP Naomi. Entire celebration was spectacular, especially the Judd Sisters and Larry.

[@iamqueenb1]

Wow beautiful singing voices. Sorry to say I have never heard of Allison Russell b4 now but will definitely be looking up more of her beautiful voice. Emmy Lou still looks & sound beautiful as ever. A real class act!

[@poetpeacegraceandlove]

Rest Well, Ms. Judd!

[@candylee4684]

That was beautiful I hope it comforted Wynona and Ashley.

[@MISNM0]

This is such a beautiful thing to say!

[@jackiebourg6869]

YEAH. When they don't want JESUS to comfort them, they listen to this FREAK SONG! LOL THAT WAS JUST AWFUL.
