Linda Davis & Lang Scott - Old Flames - Larry's Country Diner

I normally do not upload videos that are readily available for sale, but this is such an exquisite representation of traditional country music - I could not resist. I put Larry's commercial and phone number at the end so I will think of this as a commercial for Larry. My wife and I were privileged to meet and spend time with Lang's father many years ago, when he and Linda were traveling with Reba McEntire. He later mailed me an unimaginable gift: a full cassette of Lang and Linda's recordings from their home studio. If you're interested, here's the URL to one of the songs, for which I created a video: • Tribute to Willard M. ...
Thanks to Dave Wollenberg for correcting me about the author of the song. Although I can't correct the scroll in the video, here are the facts about its origin, according to my Internet search:
The country singer Hugh Moffatt and songwriter Rosemary Patricia (Pebe) Sebert wrote this song in 1977 soon after they were married. Sebert came up with the title after encountering an old boyfriend. She came home, told Moffatt about it, and let him know he shouldn't worry, because "old flames can't hold a candle to you." Nevertheless, something soured, as Moffatt and Sebert separated in 1984.

Always loved her voice!

[@SidsCardShop]

@glenncheatham1320 Yes, and her husband also has a fine voice; he can bend those notes with the best. Here is a song you won't hear anywhere else, because Linda's father-in-law sent it to me from their home studio. To my knowledge they did not release it to the public. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSqk6VoaNV2p68

Linda Davis has to be the most underrated, beautiful woman in country music & especially at her age. She is absolutely GORGEOUS! Imo she is a better singer than Hillary who gets so much praise. I haven't heard the other daughter but their momma has got em beat in the vocals & looks Department in my eyes.

[@barbaracassello4818]

They sing so good together!!!!!

[@dstorm7752]

Linda's voice is perfect for this song

[@cubefarmerhkc9105]

Linda still looking as beautiful as ever.

[@fredw8490]

Very good version of this song. Her husband sounded really good in his own right. Enjoyed it. Linda's talent is off the top shelf.

I did a show in 1983 with Lang. It was "You can be a Star" in Nashville, Tenn. Them were good days. Ole boy can still sing.

[@SidsCardShop]

James Shelley: You might enjoy this song I posted; you won't hear it like this anywhere else - it was recorded in their home studio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSqk6VoaNV2p68

[@AmyRoyAnnieLaurie]

Linda, You and Lang are wonderful role models as artists and parents. Amy & I remember so well how gracious you two were when we were all working as artists and songwriters in the industry. Here's to the parents of the next generation of good music. Keep on a steppin'

[@wizpopr]

Linda Davis has an awesome voice. I'm glad Reba insisted that she do the duet on "Does He Love You".

[@SidsCardShop]

wizpopr: I used a few seconds of that video in my tribute to Linda's deceased father-in-law. It is at about 1:35 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSqk6VoaNV2p68

[@cardenarhodes6515]

Absolute beautiful song & Couple of Love.

[@maxrawnsley1401]

[@RichieC6969]

Linda is as good a singer as any female alive. And what a looker. Husband is good as well, but cant hold a candle to her.

Linda is a great singer but her husband is awesome, effortless

[@bobroberson9286]

VERY GOOD U-2 👍👍

[@dennisjohnston3180]

Wow !

[@anj3595]

I would bet Linda made her own choices during her career, best for herself, her marriage, and her children. I certainly don’t think there is anything wrong with a career like Jeannie Seely or Connie Smith. These women are mainstays in Country music. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[@wandagriffin6792]

They are good.

[@SavageAudits]

Liked!

[@tinascissor1319]

Great.

Wow Linda is such a fox

[@SidsCardShop]

Nanva thiam ve.

[@toneenorman2135]

That was real pretty….

[@whatposterman1222]

I guess I’m confused? She mentioned 2 daughters, and I thought Chris Scruggs was her son with one of Earls sons?

[@SidsCardShop]

What Posterman: You should not be confused; they were talking about Linda and Lang's two daughters. Period.

[@silentweaponsquietwars1703]

Her daughters names are Hillary that sings with Lady Antebellum and Riley who works Tractor supply!

[@silentweaponsquietwars1703]

[@sarahday9331]

It's always killed me she never got the career she deserved. Her daughter benefited from her hard work which always bothered me. It might be sacrilegious to say but I actually think Linda has a better voice than Reba. It's sweeter. But bc they sound so similar and Reba has such a big personality Linda unfortunately got lost in the shuffle.

[@SidsCardShop]

Sarah Day: You might like the video I created and posted at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSqk6VoaNV2p68

[@davewollenberg1518]

Actually, Dolly didn't write this 'un.

[@SidsCardShop]

Dave Wollenberg: Thanks, Dave. You and maybe 3 other people in the world knew that. I confess that, because she is credited with writing 3,000 songs, I got into the habit of thinking she wrote everything she recorded. I will correct the search title, but we'll have to live with the error on the video scroll. KZbin may have a facility that would allow me to blank the error, but I'm too old to even investigate. Did you click on the URL I posted in my uploader's comments?

[@jimgeorger4452]

Oops! But I bet Dolly WISHED she wrote it!

[@jackroberts8935]

I did not know that Hillary Scott was her daughter.
