She Stays by Ricky Van Shelton & Andy Landis

[@BaaSout-hy3wv]

This has been my go to song for about 25 yrs......so many parallels. I'm still here, still love my husband as much as the day I married him 44 yrs ago. Sometimes I wish I could go back & change things but I look at our only child & our 3 grandchildren & I wouldn't change a thing. I am thankful my husband wasn't abusive , mentally or physically . Wouldn't have tolerated that for anyone.

[@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton]

I love this song too, Baa Sout. thank you for leaving your comment!

[@josiejones3071]

Beautiful Couple,, We miss you singing country music Ricky,, I wish you could come back and sing country,, your!!! Beautiful Voice is so badly missed n the sound of what real country music sounds like and that Beautiful voice that picks people's spirits up when their feeling down n alone,, your voice n music is their escape from their dark place,, Thank you for Your awesome music,, through me my kids n Grandkids know who You are n your songs 💙💙💙

[@carolynhutson4722]

when I feel like nothing is going right in my life, I listen to Ricky's songs and I feel better. I saw Ricky in concert 3 times, there is not a country singer that will ever compare to him. When Ricky sings it's from the heart and you feel like you are the only one there. I love the song, Life Turned Her That Way. Years ago my husband and I were going somewhere and this song came on, I told my husband to really listen to the words. Our marriage was on the rocks, but I Stayed and prayed and God answered my prayer. Nov. 19, 2016 we will be married 45 years.

I have this book that Bettye Shelton & Andy Landis wrote SHE STAYS . The book is so good I bought it when it came out & have kept it and read it several times to anyone out there I truly recommend it if you like to read true stories .Thank you goes out to Bettye you are an inspiration . I saw Ricky In concert & he was and I’m sure would be just as good today as he was then ... love to hear him sing , i had bought all his cassettes & wish you could get them now on CD’s since Cassettes are a thing of the past ... To Ricky & Bettye thank you for sharing your life with us & may God truly bless you both....Come Back Ricky !!!!❤️♥️

[@bobbiehofmister]

Guess I'm a little late, but I couldn't put this book down. I'm so sorry for all ya'll had to go through, but Jesus is faithful. Beautiful song, Ricky & Andy....

[@larkpraise]

I bought the book "She Stays" and I read it through in one day. What a powerful testament to the graces that abound through Intercessory prayer. I cried many times and when I finished it I had to see if I could find this song here and Praise God, I did. Fame is fleeting and money is just a means to an end but the thing that counts is our relationship with the Lord. Through the dark valley, in sunshine and shadow, through tempest and calm....pray without ceasing because HE STAYS! God Bless!

[@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton]

Very nice, thanks.

The best that a couple can be is when hardship of any type, doesn't break the bonds of love. Finally caught my lady from 1972 when we were teenagers, and have 20 years together now. And we stay.

Amen. And congratulations

I Grew up Listening To Ricky Van Shelton And Patty Loveless as a Young kid Late 1980s Thanks To My Mom For Playing True Country Music! Me and Mom were both in RVS Fan Club back in 1989! But Thanks To Ricky Van Shelton and Patty Loveless and Mom too They all Put The Love of True Country Music in Me and Im So Very Thankful of That!

[@MsBJBarnes]

This song so fits the story of Bettye and Rickys' life in "She Stays". A great book of courage, inspiration and dedication to the commitment of marriage by two awesome people who found the courage to overcome the gray days of marriage. A true love story.

[@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton]

Thank you so much for you kind comment, Rose. We are both glad that you enjoyed it.

[@WesHuntermusicman]

I've always loved listening to Ricky sing. I took my wife to a concert in 1992 in Tupelo, Ms. It was Doug Stone and Ricky performing. I believe the club was called the "Western Connection". If I am not mistaken, Doug suffered a heart attack that night. I miss REAL country music like that. I have been on the road for 20 years performing classic country music and tribute shows. It's been a wild journey. One I regret is coming to an end soon. I saw Ricky at a gas station gassing up his tour bus. I wanted to introduce myself that night but out of respect, I stood down b/c I could tell he was tired. Thank you Ricky for so many great shows and great music delivered the way country music was meant to be. (You do a great Elvis too) :)

[@denisegrahamcornell5720]

We saw Ricky with Doug at N. Tonawanda, NY. We were in Ricky's fan club, so were able to see him back stage. Doug was also good. It was a great concert, one of the many Ricky concerts that we attended.

[@marilou24557]

I love this song. I love Bettye Shelton. She is such a good woman that certainly understands what TRUE LOVE really is.

[@cindy-followerofjesuschris6572]

I love the songs and the photos!

[@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton]

I agree...Ricky has written some beautiful songs!

[@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton]

When Andy Landis first shared this song with me, I exclaimed “That’s my song!” But then I realized that the song belongs to every woman who has suffered pain during a relationship. I created this particular video for the many friends of mine and Ricky who have accepted our faults and celebrated our victories over the years. Thanks to the photographers who captured these moments, especially Heidi Dewitt, for one of my favorite photos. Andy Landis taught me the meaning of friendship, devotion and commitment; she remains one of the most inspirational women I have ever known.

[@marymiller7865]

Thank you for letting us hear from you, a glimpse into the life of this wonderful singer. Five years ago your husband's song I'll Leave This World Loving You saved my sanity. My husband died suddenly and I wasn't handling it at all well. The song got listened to hundreds of times, then I discovered his other songs and some other singers. After a couple of years I crawled out of KZbin and ventured outside again. Just wanted to pass this along, with thanks to you both.

[@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton]

Mary Miller, thank you for your willingness to share this with us. You may never know who needs to be encouraged thru a difficult situation; but yet your post may be the motivation they need. Thank you.

[@aeaustin49]

Bettye Shelton - my Dear Friend Kelly read your book 20 years ago, she is my Andy! This past year my husband separated from me and then I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Kelly came to my rescue and sent me a copy of the book "She Stays". I'm not a reader, but I just finished the book and would like to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart for weathering the storm. I'm still in mine, but learning that the more I get out of the way, try and keep my little mouth shut and everyday spiritual nudges at bay, and trust God with my husband, the better off we will both be. Your trials did not go in vain, and I am certain mine will not be in vain either. Thank you again and may many, many more marriages and lives be blessed by yours, Andy's and Ricky's courage.

[@Digger927]

I miss having any new music from Rick more than I can say but I love you both, God bless both of you and thanks for all the fantastic wealth of music we do have!

Hello Jennifer, thank you for your comments. Glad you have another copy to replace your 1990's CD.

[@Estherssgc]

My best friend, my husband and I belonged to Ricky's fan club. I remember reading Ricky's fan letter and how it said you were in France. Then we traveled 50 miles for his canceled concert. The Lord was prompting me to pray for him. Didn't know why, at the time. So glad the Lord chose me to be a silent partner. I gave Ricky a devotional book, "Come Before Winter, " by Charles Swindoll. Do hope he enjoyed it as much as I have. God bless you both.

[@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton]

Thank you so much for your note and your support. I love the idea of being a "silent partner". Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@beverlycompton8182]

This is a lovely song and I have enjoyed listening and watching the video. No one will ever know how much it meant to me to rediscover Ricky Van Shelton's music . I am 80 years old and lost my loving husband 2 years ago. I just didn't feel I could go on......but, of course, my family wanted me here and I tried to live as normal as it is possible to after losing the love of your life. I'm sure others know what I mean when I say that I felt that part of me died with him. We didn't meet until I was 50 years old, but we had 27 awesome years together. My son bought me a good set of headphones and I have been enjoying hearing the wonderful RVS music again that my husband and I used to listen to. I pray that RVS and Bettye will have many more great years together. This last month has been the best for me in a long time. Thank you for the inspiring music. It has meant so much to me............

I had prayed and prayed for my husband and marriage but was almost ready to walk when I read your story. It gave me the determination to keep praying and waiting on God to do his work. I have wanted ti thank you for years for sharing your story because I’m sure it played a big part in me hanging in and staying. Today we have a strong marriage, two sons who are happily married and 8 amazing grandchildren. I will forever be grateful to God and to you for sharing your story.

I have always loved to hear Ricky Van Shelton sing and I have missed him as I grew up listening to him. I was born in 64 but my oldest brother was 18 and I was #7 out of 8 children and equal no. Of sexes g&b’s. But I really appreciate and understand why he decided to retire his wife and family was more important as it should be after God,, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and yet I wish you would sing more but not going on the road except for rare special occasions and with your wife. I will admit it took me a while to forgive him for not continuing his singing but as I get older and then I think that the things that are harder for me now but was so much easier when my 6 children were in school and I was more agile so I can understand why he has done and now that he is older put out some songs and maybe do a few places like the Crystal Grand Theater in WI. If not I will just keep listening to what he already has out in the public domain and congratulations to you both with a question how many children do you have and are related to Blake?
