Nanci Griffith A Brief Biography

In this video we turn our spotlight on to Nanci Griffith. She was a singer songwriter who gave much to both country music and folk music.

[@solobo5823]

I will always love you Nanci Caroline Griffith ❤️😢😢😢 especially on a Blue Moon 🙏🏻

[@RemingtonRidersMusic]

That was beautiful. Remembering her life helps with grieving her loss. From her song Gulf Coast Highway: "And when she dies she says she’ll catch some blackbird’s wing, and she will fly away to heaven." Fly away, Nanci. Rest in peace, sweet soul.

[@CMSProductions]

She was a beautiful soul and went away to soon

[@malaydeb2895]

Ever since I listened her 'Lone star state of mind' I became a Nanci Griffith fan and I am still there. Apart from being a fantastic song writer-singer, she was an excellent guitarist a fact often overlooked.

[@CMSProductions]

That is true

[@susandombrowski4764]

I went to Nashville that September and I was so surprised no one I talked to new who she was or where was interned. Bet they knew in Ireland, her second home. God I miss her.

[@CMSProductions]

We all do

[@RemingtonRidersMusic]

I hadn't realized it, but when you mentioned about her boyfriend John who took her to the prom and then died in a motorcycle accident, I realized that her song "There's a Light Beyond These Woods" is about John and also her best friend, whom she also lost. The song takes on more meaning to me now.

[@CMSProductions]

There was a lot of heartache in her life.

[@BobL56]

I have no idea why but I’ll admit Nancy Griffith has been under my radar all this time but this video has inspired me to dive into her catalog.

[@CMSProductions]

@Bob Liberatore Ditto. I had it as a suggestion for a video and decided to do it. My horizons have been enlarged

[@markw4206]

Better late than never. Lots to explore there! We lost a gem.

[@CMSProductions]

@@markw4206 I agree with you that we lost a gem

[@stevejennette25]

I miss her so much.

[@CMSProductions]

I know what you mean.

[@yinkoos]

She did not know me but she influenced me and the life of so many other people. I used her music to survive the early 80's.So sad, go well.

[@wesleyhay3881]

We should always remember Nanci. Her passing 8/13/2021. (Here PST) still a little less than one year ago. There is just something about Nanci which is special, loving, and different. So I encourage 'y'all to learn and listen a little bit from one of America and Texas super Ladies, Nanci Griffith!

[@CMSProductions]

Amen and Amen

[@varise4216]

She will surely be missed , she was very much loved and admired I hope to hear her in heaven playing for Jesus

[@CMSProductions]

I agree with you 100%. I want to thank you for sharing with my audience.

[@libertyann439]

I was a fan of her's throughout the 90s and had no idea she was so ill. I really loved her shows and was fortunate to see her 3 times.

[@CMSProductions]

sweet. Thank you for watching and thank you for sharing.

[@thoskel1]

Can't believe she is gone.Just loved her singing voice.and songs

[@CMSProductions]

Her music had a real world quality to it. She will truly be missed and is missed

[@johngabriel6064]

I just moved from Seguin, Tx...nice little town...I wish I new she was from there. It's pronounced Sah Geen. Ty!

[@CMSProductions]

Thanks

[@kmccabe1962]

Wish I could have met her

[@CMSProductions]

Sweet

[@dannycasey8261]

Thank you. I didn’t realize she had passed like so many other great ones. I can only say that her voice was srill. But the Only srill voice that sounded like an Angel. I loved that she had no ego. She cared not what anyone saw in her. She Knew Who she was! She didn’t need anyone to validate her. Like I said, she Knew who she Was without anyones acceptance! What an angel

[@CMSProductions]

Amen and Amen.

[@alchisay]

Will sure miss her voice and beauty.

[@CMSProductions]

I agree completely

[@davidweise3968]

She was born in Seguin (pronounced suh-GEEN, not SEG-win) The folk festival is in Kerrville (pronounced CURR-vill, not CARE-vill), the the song is Late Night Grande (pronounced GRAND, not GRAND-AY....listen to the recording, please) Hotel.

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

CARE-ville is the proper Scottish pronounciation regardless of how we say the name in the US.

[@paulstamper1460]

Hope you found your light Mary Margaret. Perhaps well meet someday and see what makes it shine. God, my heart is so broken.

[@CMSProductions]

Not yet!

[@stanner6823]

Thank you for this wonderful video. I had never heard of her until a friend posted a RIP note which included "Love at the Five and Dime" store. I have spent the last week seeking out and listening to her work. Do you know if there is anywhere a person can get a copy of her lyrics book? Her recordings are great but often they are unintelligible. Thanks for any help....

[@CMSProductions]

I am very glad you enjoyed it. As far as the Lyrics Book is concerned I would check Amazon for it. Either there or Ebay..

[@edwardbrown4311]

Benge watching today DC epic as always

[@CMSProductions]

I try

[@texanleons]

She was born in Seguin, Tx. pronounced Su-Geen(Sa-geen), Kerrville Folk Festival is pronounced-Kurr Ville

[@CMSProductions]

Thanks for letting me Know.

[@dianaspain1135]

@@CMSProductions It's also "grand," not "grande" hotel. Thanks for this beautiful tribute to one of my favorite artists of all time. She was a treasure!

[@CMSProductions]

@@dianaspain1135 Thanks for the correction. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I tried to do her justice. I hope to earn your subscription and if you have already subscribed I thank you for that also.

Vaya con Dios Ms. Griffith

[@CMSProductions]

Amen

[@banjoist123]

I knew Eric Taylor in the 70's when he was pining away for her. A stormy relationship. He was a pretty bad alcoholic, although a good songwriter in his own right. I thought she was a little too "precious", a bit too full of herself. But then I also thought Dylan was a bit pretentious. Show's how wrong I can be. (PS - the town in Texas is pronounced "suhgeen".) A great trubute to her. Thanks for posting.

[@CMSProductions]

I appreciate the correction on the pronunciation on her hometown. I apologies for the mispronunciation. I will try to do better in the future. I am glad that you enjoyed the posting.

[@waltersobchak7275]

This was my mother’s name. Change the I to a Y. Then last name change the TH to a N. Yep this caught my eye definitely.

[@CMSProductions]

Thanks for watching it. I hope you enjoyed the video.

[@sanantoniotonight5569]

Pronouncing the name of her home Town correctly would be a good start.

[@CMSProductions]

@San Antonio Steve apologies for any mispronunciations

[@eml5086]

Narrator sounds like he has no idea who she is and is just reading a script he's just been handed. Awful.

[@CMSProductions]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@gregklein547]

Does anyone know where she was buried or was she cremated? 🙏 please

[@CMSProductions]

She is buried by her brother Richard in Ely City Cemetery, Ely, Nevada.

[@gregklein547]

@@CMSProductions nice try Her brother was Robert and the Nancy in Ely Cemetery died in 1979. The Nanci singer songwriter died in 2021.

[@CMSProductions]

@@gregklein547 I went by the news reports i read on her gravesite. I should have checked other sources. Thanks for pointing it out.
