John Conlee ~ Miss Emily's Picture

[@michealashcraft8072]

My Wife of 40 years died January 23, 2022, I listened to this song as an OTR Trucker when we Married, along with many other Country songs, she loved this one, all I have now is her memories, and, pictures, I miss you Diana, love you, and, honor your memories. Mike

[@erichbowden4035]

My deepest apologies to u.

[@ianjames5244]

Thanks Mike she's still there with you

[@samuelfresa9274]

Sincere condolences and sympathies for you sir. God bless and protect you always. 🙏🙏🙏

[@iguanapete3809]

My wife died six months ago. I miss her so much.

[@bettyb9280]

God gift to humanity the gift of Love, cherish the memories Blessings to you all always, I love you My husband died after ten yrs I was so distraught I didn’t know the day, I learned how to drive OTR instead of finding a way to die God blessed me with so many great men& women on that ribbon of highways (God showed me how to live)

[@Bigbadglimbo]

I don’t know how many times I sat there just pushing replay on this classic. Glad I found john conlee

[@michaelhenry550]

Tossing yesterdays love out into the wind. John Conlee is a great musician. They don't make country like this anymore. We love you john!!!

[@Kramer63]

I don’t even know if John Conley is alive and I think when he had that perverted song of common man and was a sick and twisted and distorted is saying a Chevrolet over Mercedes-Benz showed some very very bad alcohol abuse or pure ignorance but then again that song came out before 1978 when General Motors wasn’t owned by China like it has been since 1978 SAIC the owner of general motors and all of its divisions

[@JHargis68]

Back when country music was true art that mirrored true life.

[@erichbowden4035]

Damn skippy

[@cynthiamarshall13]

One of the most underated talents of country music! Just love all of his songs, especially Old School!

[@intimidator6969]

this man is TRUE COUNTRY....

[@shannoncaudill6111]

Well said.

[@ShowMeStateS.W.Mo.]

Hi Cindy

[@keithjunot7005]

Underated ? JC is a Country Music Superstar ..many number 1 hits and idolized by millions 40 years after his 1st hit and still standing tall in the industry ..far from underated ...

[@codylee979]

Underrated!? Where you been?

[@aldowatkins3096]

They don't write 'em, or sing 'em, like this anymore! This song still makes me tear up.

[@ronneyrendon5045]

"Look out my window and what do I see? nothing but pain looking back at me." Best line ever!

[@jameskipp1657]

That's great but I like "Go in to the office and the works piled up, pour three finger bourbon in my coffee cup"

[@phillipgeorge4278]

I'm living it. Man does it suck.

[@Rj-yr1br]

Yeap

[@tamaracolbert1435]

It is👍

[@gen.michael6816]

Yeah. I love it.

[@vernonwagner8581]

As noted, this song fits the feelings of all who've suffered any emotional loss. 10 years ago, they handed me a box of ashes that had been the love of my life. Yes, I straighten her picture now and then...always will.

[@jf.7599]

🥺

[@patriciajrs46]

Bless you. May your soul be calmed and reassured. Take heart. You'll be together again.

[@bduncombe]

This is a true love song by a man who is missing his woman. Thumbs up to a great song.

[@edwardshaw1484]

My mama told me before she passed at age 81, that she really liked this John Conlee song...Thank you J. Conlee.

[@Mr.NoName1972]

"Miss Emily's Picture" was and still is one of my favorite John Conlee hits of all time. Peaked at #2 late in 1981. Should have been a #1. "Blue Highway", "Old School", "Doghouse", and "In My Eyes" are also favorites. John Conlee also belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[@amymabry5049]

Named my daughter after this song. Great singer. One of the best!

[@carlosyaz6011]

Who can not like this? True country music in the day and still a great one.

[@craigrhollister]

This has to be one of the greatest country songs ever written. Only Conlee could drive it home!

[@MrJNFan]

I too, have my own "Miss Emily" She is so hard to forget. Will love her until I die.

[@Bbatsonjohn]

Sorry friend for your loss

[@MrJNFan]

Thank you for commenting, but in this case it's unrequited love, not someone I have lost to death or divorce. I've loved her for years, we were close for a while but have drifted apart. My life is empty without her. I will truly love her until I die.

[@Bbatsonjohn]

MrJNFan I do know what you mean. I have lived a life for the last 19 years missing my Ex. Every day I know the feeling of a fool. For I myself am that fool. I was the reason for my loss. I pray she will find it in her heart to realize you are her world. And love will fill your lives. Love is free. Hate cost to much.

[@MrJNFan]

Thank you my friend, glad there are still some nice people out here on the web. While we each wait for our ladies, we'll have John's great music to keep us company for many many years. And I'm afraid it's going to be just that. Have a blessed time. Thanks again for your comments.

[@danielblaxton8326]

GOOD SONG

[@brianhenderson6706]

Yes today's country music is nothing like the artist of the 70s. It's just not the same. I was lucky to have a radio next to the bed listing to all the country greats of the 70s.

[@catherinemunoz7194]

This song came out when I was in high school. I loved it and swore I would name my daughter Emily. My picture of Miss Emily has been on my bedside table since taken in 1986 - she will be 36 years April 11th. She’s in heaven. But she will always be Miss Emily - my angel waiting for wings, Emily.

[@patriciajrs46]

I am sorry for your loss. What a sweet tribute.

[@shawnduncan5779]

I remember hearing his music when I was a kid growing up in the 1980's. His music brings back a lot of memories and is unforgettable

[@annacribbs4142]

Got to see him once. He's exactly what you see. Loved him. His voice hasn't changed 💖🎵🎼🎶💯🥰

[@johnboren6101]

I was born in 1969, and grew up as child of the 1970's and 1980's. I agree that " Today's Country " is crap. I grew up listening to John Conlee, Johnny Paycheck, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and so many others.

[@micahelprehn8642]

John Boren well whatever you grew up the same time I did I'm 56 years old right now but I'll tell you what my God man I love that John Conlee Woody he came out with rose colored glasses but my favorite song by him is Miss Emily's picture I sure hope you heard that one that's like that's more favorite than Rose Colored Glasses but what a great tune it talks about a guy that she hit you're a youngin what do you grow up and go through the heartache I have but I just love hearing it all of it and I'm a hard-working man and I never going to stop working but I'm woman less I'm real apprehensive about finding another one but just hang in there dude you be alright but John Conlee rocks and yeah I love all them guys Merle Haggard George Jones Conway Twitty all of them you know if they're all as you know they're all dead now but Tom T Hall all these grew up loving him but hang in there man all this new country just sucks donkey dick I don't want to hear none of it but the old-time stuff man I just love it and hang in there I love to hear from people like you try to hang in there and behave yourself and remember no matter where you go there you are

[@terrelltiller5710]

John Boren yes when country music was country music and not country rock

[@brycenpotts01]

I was born in 2002 and I prefer 70s and 80s country compared to todays so-called country

[@bear2747]

John Boren SAME! I grew up in dallas listening to all the greats of the time. Then later in my twenties got to meet and become friends w Gary Stewart. Never wouldve guessed that back then. So many music genres are so muddled up and trying to fit into the hip new now scene, theyve all lost their roots. I get that great artists and songs etc hsve been made possible becuase of it but ho lee whats wrong w hangin on to a little down home? 🌲🐻🌲

[@anniehawkins2077]

My kids wonder why I have hardly CD's except Conway Twitty. I tell them that was because he had real talent. I like John Conlee, too and I'm proud to live down the road from where he grew up. Miss George Jones, too - loved all the talented singers but for me, Conway got me through a lot of problems. All I had to do was listen to him and I felt better.

[@kubazenigma2587]

I wish country music would go back to sounding like this. REAL COUNTRY MUSIC

[@pattydootoo]

Been listening to John since 8-track days.....now on the computer I can play him all day...and nite........and the memories never end....I love that guy!

[@donnajackson7643]

Listening to some of this music really takes me back to a simpler time when I was young and free.

Love John’s voice and music , so many great songs over the years , love to see him live again , he sounds great live too , Ryman used to be a great place to catch him

[@rosemarywarnes1836]

I still love Miss Emily's picture from 12 years ago. This song speaks to me and the pain I still feel inside. I lost Teddy in Vietnam 4 days before his 20th birthday. He got drafted right after graduation. Now he's sleeping in God's big bed.

[@anelladambrosio2513]

​@marcosbryant27ciao Marco! 🙋‍♀️😊😘💘🌅

[@finewine3702]

Thos song immediately touches the heart ~ Moves me even more since losing my husband of 50 years, Jan 22nd, 2021. Some music is spiritual sustenance, and this hits the mark💖

[@finewine3702]

@Jason Puddy Thank you💫

[@Preacherman1882]

I used to have two John Conlee records. I would play them constantly on my vintage radio/record player from the late 40's. What's not to love about these classics? I'm 21.

[@WolfEars]

My mom sang this to me all the time. I love this song.

[@Taylorpotts10]

I just showed this song to my little Emily who is 8. As it turns out, her Moma was born in 1981, pretty cool

[@MsKarenCar]

I miss real country music !!!

[@ambergirl7857]

Me too!!

[@lakealma1]

Sirius XM is annoying listening to them pitch their opwn services and the announcers rattling on about nothing and then paying for it..Have 2 vehicles that I can get it on but it's less annoyingand cheaper to play CD's when I want music

[@kennethhemphill8312]

Don't like new country. George Strait said it right when he wrote a song "The day they killed country music down on music row".

[@wheelmanstan]

There's a couple good country channels on here with new stuff. Check out Music Fog (very creative bands), Live at Billy Bob's Texas, The Texas Music Scene TV. Nashville pretty much moved to Austin and Stillwater Oklahoma. The Red Dirt Americana stuff is still carrying the torch. There's also a channel on here called "real country music albums", and the guy posts album after album of all the great country singers. Recently he posted what seems to be 30 Reba albums. Before that there's about 30 George Jones albums and 30 Merle and Waylon albums. haha it's a beautiful thing!

[@sarahmoviereviewer4109]

+Karen Cargill me to :(

[@jonathansmeenk1637]

I'm 41...still loving every bit of it. Nothing better than getting a grip on reality by going back to the true country.

[@MrDHiland]

Still love this song. John Conlee had a very unique voice...which you never get tired of listening to. Would love to hear new music from this great talent.

[@MrFordman1996]

I'm 16 and all I listen too is classic country music and love it all.

[@Mylifesangelalways]

Cha Cha don't be suprized that someone still plays this song.Because I play it constantly,now.You see,I always liked this song,and now it has a great deal more meaning.Because,you see,just 13 days before knottheadme uploaded this song My Precious Angel of 36 Gracious years passed-away as I held Her from medical neglance and medical neglect.So you see,this song is now what my life is like every day.

[@MrNoturaveragerednek]

Heck I'm 45 and although I listen to just about anything from 50's Rock and Roll and every generation all the way up to the 90's, I also remember listening to the likes of John Conlee, Coway Twitty, Mel Tillis and all the other great country artists of the 70's when I was kid and will always go back to listening to it cause you just can't beat classic country music.

[@LarryPompous]

I've always loved this song. Never tired of hearing it.

[@hikids7189]

one of the very best songs a real man can relate too!!!!!!!!!

[@melm2057]

Not anything anyone hasn't said before! This man is a SINGER! A man whose prose transcends generations!

Sir Mr. John Conlee was the Master at pure, simple and honest lyrics and song. It is always so easy to relate to the tune he is rendering.

[@autumncook1711]

I am 25 and this is one of my favorite songs i grew up on all the old country and now my kids are!

[@amymabry5049]

Named my daughter after this song, thankyou John Conlee !

[@Willies-v2g]

Thank you so much for posting all these songs we love you John God bless you

[@joshriley1985]

Im 27 and John Conlee is one of my favorites. I am a huge fan of classic country. Im also a huge fan of Keith Whitley, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Jones and many many more (Female artists included).

[@joshhannibal2267]

This comment is almost a decade old, but the Keith Whitley song Miami, My Amy literally brought me here because of the voice twang they both share…. Also the guitar styles

[@stevepickett4889]

My mother loved this song and JC, I remember listening with her when it was on the radio back in 1981. Still great in 2023

[@karenmorgan1258]

I just love John Conlee. He is the whole package in country music! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear him sing. Wish he would spend more time performing and less time on the farm. My all-time favorite! And a certified nice guy! Ask anyone and they will agree with that statement!

[@Jean77718]

Beautiful song and your voice.

[@barefootannie007]

i love this song so much i named my oldest daughter Emily....

[@emilybirdsong6248]

Now I know how the name Emily gained so much popularity in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s. Am I complaining? Not even.

A gifted singer and songwriter but also a genuinely generous, giving person. His song Busted raises money for the hungry when the fans throw money on stage. A proud advocate of our servicemen and women. And he has some of the best truthful songs I have ever heard. Love his singing and his choice of songs. I do believe Alan Jackson names John as one of his early influences. He is a good man!!!!

[@DaveWollenberg]

John didn't write too many songs.

[@dochiggins]

He does “busted” for the wounded warriors project now

[@randallterry4707]

Such a haunting song. Grew up in the 70s listening to REAL country

[@jerrywojtala7595]

This is country music like it should be.

[@MegaThunder70]

Amen to that

[@danielburns987]

this song went to #2 on the country charts in 1981!!!

[@31Alden]

Gosh, it's wonderful hearing this again. I think this is a song about lost love. I'm thinking he was careless with his love for Miss Emily.

Can't believe this song wasn't a no 1

[@TonyMontana-qv8cx]

I was a country DJ when this was out along with his other hits. Country music was really good in the 80s. The Oak Ridge Boys, George Jones, Dolly, Earl Thomas Conley, Kenny Rogers, Shania just to name a few. I wish a time machine existed.

[@randycanal432]

One of the best country songs ever
