MEL TILLIS - "HEART OVER MIND" (1970)

[@briancharette5005]

Classic country the way it was meant to be!

[@miltonmoore5294]

A hit from those great days when one couldn't tune up and down an a.m. radio dial in Dallas, Texas and NOT encounter a Mel Tillis song!😃 (Thanks, Mr. Tillis, for leaving something behind besides your bones, which most of us, unfortunately, are constrained to do.)

[@debbiewalker6317]

Milt on Moore

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

The days of WBAP and Bill Mack. Real country music.

[@johnmurray2214]

Listening and cruising in a Chevy drinking a cold beer safely and responsibly. Less wrecks per capita then. Factor?!

[@fayespendley8921]

He is so good! He was very sick last year, Sure wish I could see him one more time. One of the best singer, songwriter and entertainers ever. I love him!

[@astephens6702]

Paid $4.50 to see Mel play the street dance at Cowboy Homecoming in Pleasanton Texas, summer of 72. Kept that stub for 15 years or so, he's one of the all time greats for me.

[@austinteutsch]

I was in the opening band for Tillis, David Riley and the Western Hearts.

[@miltonmoore5294]

Where is that ticket stub now?😆 (From a a 72 year old Mel Tillis fan from Dallas, Texas!😃)

[@lp1330]

I saw him in San Antonio in 71- with Johnny Bush, Johnny Duncan, Tompall and the Glaser Bros and Charley P ride

[@alhernandez7508]

Not only that but his daughter Pam sings it just as good great passion.

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

@@lp1330 That had to be one hell of a show. Four of my favorites.

[@wesmiller6965]

What a funny and awesome star Mel was!..... May you rest in peace sir, and when the chorus as called up yonder you'll be there.

[@lovinjesusmuchharrison6376]

I could listen to this all night long! Good ole country classics

[@brotherWes]

Real music!

[@rayforester]

Ok it’s 2024 and my grand daughter said she didn’t like country music in return I I told her that’s ok one day you’ll grow up !

[@spanisheyes8822]

[@renettalassiter7881]

Just have to say I know that man singing harmony...My hero, my dad

[@rlford10]

That's pretty cool, renetta!

[@TheFishdoctor1952]

What's his name? He's as much a part of the song as the lead singer. Great harmony.

[@gbuffaloe1]

What's your dad's name?

[@genesam7970]

I was a young kid listening to this one with my parents, absolutely a great singer he is.

[@barrygioportmorien1]

One of Mel's best..

[@antoniofernandesdequeiroga6197]

Mel Tillis really recorded a bunch of great songs like this one. Thanks Guy Miller.

[@kathyjones8207]

I love the fiddles in this song. My grandfather played the fiddle :).

[@ronbuchanan325]

Well thanks, my father is playing the fiddle on this. He made up that intro by the way...

[@kathyjones8207]

He did a good job with it :).

[@1oldfortlavender2]

That intro was made up by SHORTY LAVENDER Jim didn't have anything to do with. Sorry Ron Buchanan

[@1oldfortlavender2]

just in case Shorty Lavender came up with the intro to that years before that version was released FYI

[@doubled1598]

Kathy Jones he always had twin fiddles with him. He played at the V.F.W. in Jackson , Ms. in 1974 ( I believe it was). He had like a eight piece band with a horn section. He put on a great show! Unlike this junk that their putting out today!

[@janicemills5955]

a changing time in my life, love Mel Tillis music. too lonely too long, something special, take my hand and heart over mind are foremost in my memories, thanks Mel!

[@dcgilleland]

Mel wrote this one while he was driving a cookie truck! 40+ years and it will still fill any Texas dance floor!

[@jamesblake7921]

Mel tillis is my favourite country singer

[@alhernandez7508]

First concert I saw when I got home from Vietnam and boy what a show.

[@sonnydave8551]

Classic country by one of the best! Good steel.!

[@christinahorton9887]

This brought back good memories my daddy loved this song.

[@bonniehill7178]

R. I.P. Mel Tillis...I enjoy your music

This is great Texas Oklahoma music. And Mel is tremendous delivering it.

[@borayuras]

[@marythompson5458]

Mele Can Bring Tears To Your Eyes With This Song Rip

[@TheSmas2653]

Great tune, this was the first Mel Tillis record I ever owned. I still have a near mint copy of this 45 in my collection, I lost my first copy long ago.

15 dislikes, Mel Tillis wroke songs for other artists too. This song is one of his best.

[@raymondfaron85]

Would have liked to hear him and Ray Price do a duet

[@gabcarbone8245]

You’ll keep hurting me I know, But I just cant let you go, cuz my heart wont let my love for you change 😣😣

[@wvwkndr79s]

@Lilearlsinks This harmony is hard to match! You would have to go all the way back to Ray Price and Van Howard to even come close! This is one of my favorite songs from my high school years.

[@donnaespinosa8396]

Nice song 🌾

[@Bobison]

Mel was the real deal!

[@Dan-sj2jp]

VOCE DOLCE

[@melin520]

I love you so much that I can't leave you Even though my mind tells me I should But then you make me think you really want me Then all my thoughts of leaving do no good You've got me heart over mind, wear it all the time Knowing you will always be the same You're keeping hurting me, I know But I just can't let you go 'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change **************** Now, friends tell me they see you out with others And in my heart I try hard to forget But you come home and tell me you still love me And I still hope there's some chance for us yet You've got me heart over mind, wear it all the time Knowing you will always be the same You're keeping hurting me, I know But I just can't let you go 'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change 'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change.....

[@ronniebishop2496]

[@kathyjones8207]

+jennifur sun The city you are trying to think of is Albuquerque. I wish I could help you with the artist's name but I'm sorry, I don't know.

Dickie Overbey on pedal steel?

[@melin520]

Hi! Guy Miller: I've been searching for Don Williams's -Don't you think it's time, do you have it? Would you be willing to share?

[@ckuehncnwhsyt]

Dickey Overbey on pedal steel?

[@ronniebishop2496]

Dickey’s from Tulsa like me, the last time I saw him was at his mothers funeral.

[@rickjj91]

according to Wikipedia, Jim Baker was his steel player in 1970. But I dont know who played on the session

[@ckuehncnwhsyt]

@@rickjj91 Also Mel toured with a steel man named Phil Coontz for some time. The guy on this session, however, sure sounds like Mr. Overbey.

[@doctormountebank7656]

@@ckuehncnwhsyt sure is Dicky Overbey. He left Mel and went to play for John Bush Shinn. Stage name Johnny Bush. From The late Shannon Burns' notes. She knew those steel players.

[@ckuehncnwhsyt]

@@doctormountebank7656 Steel players sure do each have a signature sound. Re: Johnny Bush - a fellow named Rick Price toured with Bush back in the seventies. Take a listen to this clip by Alvin Crow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipnJgoiue8uanac Sure sounds to me like Mr. Price. Could you check the notes you cite?

[@GODKing-pm2wi]

fucking dope ass song
