Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 - April 6, 2016) was an American country singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler.
Haggard was born in Oildale, California, during the Great Depression. His childhood was troubled after the death of his father, and he was incarcerated several times in his youth. After being released from San Quentin State Prison in 1960, he managed to turn his life around and launch a successful country music career, gaining popularity with his songs about the working class that occasionally contained themes contrary to the prevailing anti-Vietnam War sentiment of much popular music of the time. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, he had 38 number-one hits on the US country charts, several of which also made the Billboard all-genre singles chart. Haggard continued to release successful albums into the 2000s.
Jewel Kilcher (born May 23, 1974) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, producer, actress, author, and poet. She has received four Grammy Award nominations and, as of 2015, has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

Lyrics: Silver wings Shining in the sunlight Roaring engines Headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings Slowly fading out of sight Don't leave me, I cried Don't take that airplane ride But you locked me out of your mind And left me standing here behind Silver wings Shining in the sunlight Roaring engines Headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings Slowly fading out of sight Silver wings Shining in the sunlight Roaring engines Headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings Slowly fading out of sight Slowly fading out of sight

This had to be one of the biggest thrills of Jewel’s life...singing with ‘Ol Merle R.I.P. Hag.

[@kurtiszoller1408]

Love this duet! Meryl never gets old.

[@randallleegarrett214]

[@jimdevine8599]

[@tylerwolf302]

[@karenbritt8888]

[@murchadha1]

[@brianmouland209]

Her voice and Merle’s blend well

[@josephmcmillan5710]

Two of Country greatest and a beautiful song.

[@shawnhinkle118]

Jewel truly does sound like an angel here. and for her to have the opportunity to sing with a legend must have been amazing

[@goverypro3010]

Shes a legend herself and always sounds like an angel..

[@alanpeterson6224]

Her books are great also.

[@foobarmaximus3506]

No and fuck no. She sucks.

[@carter4871]

God be with you, mr Haggard, wish I could have met you, your songs are with me and my family....................now you're with your folks again...........

[@deborahjackson2342]

I read somewhere that this was the number one duo of all times.

[@FunkyMarcel]

one of the best duet performances of all time !!!

[@darrelmillirons7751]

Love the 🎷 saxophone!

[@pamelabarkley4944]

Oh boy Jewell family must be so proud of her because she sang so beautiful with Merle Haggard, it was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

[@marthaharwood2960]

She's a hell of a singer

[@foobarmaximus3506]

Nope. She is horrible.

[@kurtiszoller1408]

What a nice duet can’t compare to nothing!

[@karenbritt8888]

Great just Beautiful

[@kerryg100]

Merle got his silver wings this is brillant Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for the memories much respected here

[@Mikele416]

Great performance, RIP Merle!

[@williamc.1198]

When I was in the Navy, I very frequently flew to different stations and/or ships for a temporary assignment. My wife would usually take me to the airport and many years later, she told me that almost every time when headed home in our truck this Merle Haggard song would come on the radio. She said it was almost freeky that it happened so often. To this day, she can't hear it without tearing up.

[@karenherridge9287]

FREDDIE POWERS PASSED ON MANY YEARS AGO,MAY YOU REST IN PEACE

[@williamkazak]

Jewel is so very precious.

[@vider888]

I love Jewel and this song!

[@john9944]

The song is great. The performance likewise. If you look behind Jewel there is a guy playing a black ovation cutaway. This is the great Freddy Powers a master songwriter and Merle's (and Willie's) longtime sidekick that is suffering from Parkinson's Disease. If you have a chance say a prayer or have a kind thought for Freddy.

[@bayoutech555]

Great comment, and hope he has a good life

[@robertsherrill7986]

john9944 you are exactly right!!!!!

[@theoakhills]

That 'sax' put the plane in the sky!

[@carter4871]

Both are amazing talents born of amazing effort in lives they built.....god bless

[@richardoliver1468]

This song reminds me of the time I had to leave the love of my life and fly back for the last 6 months of a year tour in Korea.

[@theoakhills]

My all-time favorite. The End

[@tstout8304]

I just wish I could sing like this. Maybe one day, God will let me!!.

[@brendah4581]

Thank you 2021

[@karenkinserlow7744]

Love this

[@rickyd0821]

This was the ETS (Expiration Term of Service) song. They played it at the NCO club in Bamberg, Germany whenever one of us was getting ready to fly back home.

[@manabozho]

@Ken Hallum @rickyd0821 Boy, what a perspective you guys provided. I played an Enlisted Men's Club at Jax Mayport when I was in college age. This really was a strong flashback to the reality of life far away for servicemembers. Thanks!

[@donmiller1175]

Merle is singing with the rest of the people that has gone before him.

[@darrellgilliam8441]

Red Volkaerts solo is brilliant, completely unexpected.

[@MarijanGrdasic]

Something for my soul

[@lyndarosejoseph1874]

Beautiful ... love this song. Thanks for sharing.

[@j.d.skauge9165]

Great duet. Can jewel sing or not? Wow! Ty Murray how did you let her get away

[@hero7744]

Tater Salad She probably got away from him, and I’m a huge Ty Murray fan but at times he can be such an ass !!

[@mikeallen3518]

That's so nice!

[@wandaschmitz4775]

so beautiful..

[@Exploring0507]

Give those children a chance..No matter what country is at fault...children don't know that..they are holding on to a parents leg or hand..or a stranger's love and compassion because the parents are gone...Silver Wings gives a boy or girl powerful image's....

[@intimidator6969]

GREAT SONG AND I DONT EVEN FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LIPSTICKxxx]

Love it!!!!!

[@coffeecore2]

I love her sweet face...

[@TiffJimber]

Great job. Keep em' coming Tiff Jimber Indie Musician and ewok lover

[@RichardRodriguez-ch9zn]

[@emiliovaqueromartin1656]

te quiero merle .por siempre

[@Alan-jb3hg]

Oh yes yes very pretty/ so good

[@ladlybug1311]

I love the way Merle sings it by himself. I don't think Jewel added to it. It is not broke so there is no need to fix it. Let Merle sing it as only he can.

[@KO-rf8cp]

She's a country girl at heart..she is a beautiful lady with a great voice..bless her for singing with a legend and sounding so amazing with a country legend

[@opryman9]

Merle doesn't need any one beside him. Good job,but I like it Merle solo

[@markklunis403]

Ronja CCQ, I’ve listened to several songs from this concert many times. Each video is of high quality. Just wondering if you were there at this concert. I have enjoyed everyone of your post. Thank you

[@RonjasCCQ]

The children of Ukraine don't need your money..lifestyle..they just want...Going to bed...watching TV..breakfast..playing with pets..that good Ole bath...going to school...Christmas..We as a world better not fail them..Children are life..without them we have nothing.

[@edwill62]

[@sharonbacon8646]

could do without her!

[@maryspencer791]

not too fussy

[@damuspavlak1050]

Does anyone know if this is on an album? I have searched and can not find the duet version.

[@aprilfaceoff7454]

what year was this?

[@elemoncelli]

+April FaceOff Like 1999.

[@Exploring0507]

Silver Wings headed towards Ukraine. Better be getting the children out

[@undertheblade1]

oh god she destroyed the song :(

[@guitarman7597]

You are as rude as you are stupid.

[@undertheblade1]

+Guitar Man absolutely. yet it took you this long to come up with something so simple and easy LMFAO

[@guitarman7597]

+undertheblade1 yup, you just proved my statement correct. A simple apology by you to the lady, if not a complete removal of your comment would have proved me wrong. Dumbass.
