Shenandoah - Tennessee Ernie Ford and Sissel

A virtual duet, with thanks to Alexander Gubar

[@patty8178]

Beautiful voice, beautiful song. Thank you God.

[@nikkidenning1097]

I feel the same way! ❤ Amen!

[@patriciareeves3030]

I like the contrasting voices on this video. ❤❤❤

[@robertortiz-wilson1588]

Simply magnificent. God bless their souls.

[@wvwkndr79s]

Ernie Ford was one of the great ones! I saw him perform at the Ohio State Fair when I was a kid and I will never forget it.

[@kaustin6334]

tears come every time hearing this

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Ernie's deep timbre is impressive but that was not the only component of the utter depth of comprehension of musical understanding. And there was some deep pain or anguish and I perceived. A knowing of his own future When he sing the verse when she goes down ....... ( There is a. Good little pause b4 he completes sentence ) he sing her tops will shiver I think there are some wheel turning in his brain definitely an introspective revelation going through him. Great presence on stage very eloquent. In his Enunciation of his words and he seems well read and probably really was enchanted by the countrysides

[@b.terenceharwick3222]

Two Remarkable classic voices -- in baritone and soprano here -- that will endure throughout any timeframe....

[@paulsowah9522]

I love the song shenandoah so much. It got me right in my boyhood years. Praise God for this.

[@alexnewton3313]

Great as can b

[@ocheltree1]

Can't wait to share this with my 82 yr old dad, he loved TEF and he will certainly love Sissel. Thank you Norway!

[@terencedumpleton2820]

These two kill me .im crying...so lovely😭♥️

[@bigdadjm]

This is brilliant. My favorite song by two of my favorite singers. Thank you so much.

[@georgealexander8661]

Dear John Minton...How right you are!! 👏👏😃😃

[@ChingChang148]

My two favorite versions..together.. great!

[@chucksfish2536]

Wonderful, what beautiful voices, what beautiful music.

[@vgrof2315]

I listen again and again. What a treasure, the human voice, deep in the canyons or soaring in the heavens. Can't help but wonder why the voice evolved so. Perhaps to command one's fellows and to hail others at great distances. Evidently, our prehistoric ancestors' voices were not equipped physically to do anything like TEF and Sissel could do in such stunning performances.

[@mtlyb]

And yet, it sounds so beautiful together like this.

[@nickstaresinic9933]

Very creative mix. Very well done!

[@gregoryh4601]

This brings Back the Great Days of Old.

[@Skaven222]

I just found this, it is a excellent song and its story that is, is Great compared to todays music which is good by far

[@johnlo9898]

both beautiful voices blending in perfectly..... Must watch.

[@nelsonbrugh3572]

This song is one of my favorites. This song is beautifully sung by Sissel

[@haprock828]

Makes me long for something like the Ford Show today. What a nice blend of two outstanding singers.

[@flashdonat]

This is a great match up . Wow! I loved it, it gave me goose bumps .. I always loved Ernie Ford .. What a great combo!

[@carolbozek1625]

Thank you for combining these two fabulous voices! ❤️💐

[@Bascomblodge]

I wish so much that she had sung along with Tennessee Ernie's voice and that hey had dueted part of the song. It would have been great.

[@1943maryellen]

Bascomblodge The was done by someone that edited the two songs, I think that he did a fantastic job👍

[@teller1290]

What a beautiful contrast. The woman is gorgeous, on top of that fact.

[@jenniferwinston7842]

Beautiful voices

[@sandyharlow5367]

This is just fantastic!! Always loved Tennessee Ernie Ford...and just truly adore hearing beautiful Sissel. What a lovely rendition of this beautiful song. I am thoroughly enjoying listening to this. It is so very beautiful!! Thank you.

[@theelias52]

If I could hear the last song in my life This would be it !!!!!

[@llllanillo1]

Amazing classic! Only the masters could do it. Thanks for the post of this song and video.

[@BarbaraJordan-v6w]

Beautiful Just Beautiful makes Me have cold shiles Love it ❤

[@kmaassociates7999]

I'm sorry I didn't find this long ago. I heard Sissel for the first time singing with The Mormon Tab. Choir years ago and have been a fan since. And Lordy ! . . . Mr. Ford is still the singer of choice at Christmas.

[@garyergle7098]

wow!!!! The BEST Ever!!!! IT JUST DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

[@nhgranite1]

once again let me add my thanks for posting these wonderful songs and their singers. Tennessee Ern and Miss Sissel are without peer/timeless. I can't thank you enough for refreshing old old memories.

[@edithdavis2848]

Beautiful.

[@garryburrows1793]

brilliant song & two excellent singers

[@jamesfairchild8635]

Beautifully done I always liked TEF and I love Sissel. ❤️

[@tjrz4673]

Love the juxtaposition. America. Norway. Singing a heavily Scots-Irish imbued tune. Awesome.

[@Juliemorgana]

Awesome! Love it.

[@altaylor3988]

PURE GOLD.... Mesmerising.

[@pastorfrankmartinez8020]

God is good to ALL of us

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Absolutely transcendent yet hauntingly poignant the. Ernie Ford was of a particular pedigree , almost supernatural and. As if he was thinking about how he would be. Heard long after his death Anyone who considers themselves a musician of any kind. Would instantly realize that there was a power to not only Ernie's music to see beyond the. Fold. N But the production quality was perfection the accordions Lilting or just breathing combined with the backdrop of the wilderness and. The cold sounding wind Does anyone know if he is the original author. Of the tune

[@mikeyjl54]

tears, tears, tears!

[@ronnieburson5422]

beautiful

[@1943maryellen]

This song touches my very Soul💕

[@czar14617]

I LOVE IT ---AWESOME

[@jean-lucleonard3608]

Genial mixing, thank you

[@olliebear9256]

What a baritone; what a contralto!

[@vgrof2315]

Contralto??? She's a soprano. Mary Travers was a contralto. And TEF is a baritone/bass. Just listen to the first tone he produces in this wonderful performance. Regardless, neither of them could be topped.

[@martysomoco]

Exquisite. Thank you.

[@kevinsharp6323]

I never thought much of TEF until I heard that. Changed my opinion....thats a great performance

[@kuffarpride]

Un ange de plus, descendu sur terre...trop rare!

[@artistjra]

What a wonderful combination. I really enjoyed it!!!

[@pastorfrankmartinez8020]

We Love you jesus

[@danudolsupanamai5861]

💜💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍

[@jma830]

GREAT Well put together ,& well done for doing it ,

[@NOITOAN91]

Los Más EXTRAORDINARIOS CREADORES de MILAGROS en SONIDOS del MUNDO del CANTO, no han podido INVENTAR una VOZ similar , a la de SISSEL...Un ÁNGEL musical, hecho...;MUJER !!!

[@davidzeltinger3912]

powerful thanks Dave

[@EazzyBeezie]

Her eyes are amazing

[@normanmeharry58]

If that was the only thing to contend with I could handle it. But the voice that finds a sweet note and relaxes into it just breaks me up and wrings my heart.

[@edwardgordon9731]

Thank you for the incredible mixing and having the inspiration to do it. Moving the whistle cameo to the closing was absolute genius. I tip my hat to you !!!

[@ayf1983]

You could say this combo is Tennessee Ernie Fjord. ;)

[@nextlifearotti]

THANK YOU!!! I could not think of where I'd seen that pipe player before. :)

[@33Keith33]

Very nicely done.

[@alcylon]

Beautiful. 😀

[@deniscullis8518]

Love this lady xxden

[@TheOneThatFlewOver]

I love both of these versions, I just wish the regular video of Just Tennessee Ernie Ford was the same quality as this. It's got a lot of high-end static, and I like listening to these two perform the song straight through individually. That said, this still rules.

[@joangunning7573]

Brilliant!

[@VCMR-qr8uv]

Tennessee Ernie Ford's version of this classic song is simply brilliant, whereas Sissel's interpretation - I'm sorry to have to say this - falls well short.

[@mikewelborn636]

Who else is here cause of fallout 76? Love this music it feels like home to me

[@therealtweeter1]

Good edit thanks .

[@kaustin6334]

a sad final song to play at my funeral

[@binxbolling]

Flute player from the Irish band Chieftains.

[@ChristopherSyn1]

This and Jo Stafford's version are the greatest.

[@kaustin6334]

The great state of Virginia

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

Wish they could have sung this together

[@mtlyb]

I want to hear "I'm going home". But this one while waiting for the finale.

[@ronnieburson5422]

WoW

[@yykkkkful]

I love Shanandoah ,Ohrenschmaus this sissel music.

[@Bascomblodge]

Is that the flute player from The Chieftains?

[@LiberalTears]

I believe so.

[@olliebear9256]

Bascomblodge Not a flute, but the pipes.

[@MichaelSmith-fe2xo]

He does play pipes, but what he is playing there is a Celtic tin whistle

[@53lyric1]

I think it is, if not, he's his doppelganger!

[@davidbuckley5163]

Alexander Gubar was inspired, and I thank him.

[@janbohme]

Tennessee sings in Ab, Sissel in Eb - an octave and a fifth higher.

[@lonaglenn]

HI, DO you have a TEF show from the early 60's that has two kids singing "Yes Jesus Loves Me" with TEF. At one point the young boy plays the coke bottle. I would dure like to see it. My brother is the kid on the coke bottle. If you have it can you please post it.

[@larrydonguy]

I don't read music but is it two different keys or the same key but different octaves?

[@mtlyb]

Oh get over yourself. He put us all together. We are all spiritual beings experiencing a physical existence. I just pray we all end up home together.

[@1527XZ]

The two best,nay, ultimate living singers are : Sissel and Mirusia L. Netanel

[@pietferreira]

Dis wanneer ek verlang

[@jamesconway337]

I didn't know Orson Welles played the fiddle

[@oromobiker]

me likey

[@1339LARS]

Kalle ?

[@tonirydgren8640]

Moreus!

[@noriemeha]

A woman singing a song and a man singing the same is not equivalent. It's an apple versus an orange. I like them both and they don't compete but add to the canon of music. It's my win not their loss. TEF is not bested by Sissel nor Sissel by him. They add to the combined glory.

[@chatsworth777]

The violinist looks like Orson Welles.

[@cambokid12]

Beautiful song, but they are singing in two different keys. I like the recordings separately but I don't think it was a good idea to put them together.

[@michaeldilts4046]

Tennessee Ernie Ford Website has the definitive source to view his life. He had perfect pitch and tone quality as his trademark, not to mention his very masculine voice. Most of his songs recorded were gospel the webpage is the source for Ernie Ford's life. I noticed the female sang the atheists theme song Imagine by John Lennon while doing some hymns at the same time. What does this say about her? These two singers have no place in the same video.

[@johnhepburn9545]

What a Tit you really are.

[@peggytanchengsim3341]

Pp

[@bl00dg3ar]

different keys

[@shadetreemech290]

I'm sorry but this is a man's love song. It isn't for a woman to sing.
