Sonny Curtis - Love Is All Around (1980 country single)

[@peterherard8207]

Mary Tyler Moore ...hands down one of the most beautiful woman EVER on TV!!!

[@johndelvecchio5245]

i think Mary Tyler Moore really did make it after all.What a beautiful lady.

[@docadams7099]

As far as I'm concerned, there are at least two wonderful things to say about Mary Tyler Moore: She turned the world on with her smile, and she made it after all.

[@Eric-hq7cs]

After this show was a hit ,Mary was a guest on a late night talk show ...Carson's show but Steve Martin was hosting that night. As soon as Mary was introduced, and sits down,Steve says to her that there was something that he had been curious about for quite awhile.She asked what that was. Steve Martin says " Can you REALLY take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?"

[@Morikumo]

My dad used to play this on the piano when I was a kid to put me to sleep. He then made a video of all my baby pics when I graduated HS and put this song behind it. Makes me cry to this day! :)

[@rickgerbig5427]

Rest in peace Mary Tyler Moore. You will always be treasured as an comedic, groundbreaking actress.

[@buddynme]

And Sonny's the master for putting it all into 2 words.

[@88Beccca]

I'd love it if today's music could be this inspiring!!!!

[@JukeboxJoeB]

I love this song, even with the country flavor! I also loved the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Mary was so talented and beautiful! I was born in 1976, and I got to know the show by watching re-runs.

[@cosmoevents21st56]

Cool rendition of one of the best sitcom theme songs ever.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

She turned the world on with her smile - and yes, she made it after all! Rest Well, Mary Tyler Moore, for you have earned it, many times over.

[@avidutubewatcher]

George M great post thanks

[@dburr13]

I sang this song at my brother's wedding reception...It's one of my favorite TV theme songs.

[@vaughnsalem]

it used to be on my car radio until 1990 here in Atlantic Canada.great song.Music changed after that.

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1970 {September 19th} the 30-minute TV sitcom, “Mary Tyler Moore", premiered on the CBS-TV network... The show ran for seven seasons with 168 original episodes... It won a total of twenty-nine Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards... The show's theme song, "Love Is All Around", was composed and sung by Sonny Curtis*; it peaked at #29 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart... * The Crickets' lead vocalist/lead guitarist after the death of Buddy Holly...

One of my favorite TV shows! I followed MTM from show to show.

[@funnysoup9708]

I was 3 in 70 so I learned to love her and this wonderful song that I turn up everytime I hear it.i watch her show and Dick van Dyke everyday now.im stuck in a time warp with her,i will always love her 💘

[@CrowfootHomesLLC]

This brings back wonderful memories. The words and music to this song are so pure and uplifting....

[@cheryldecgmail]

Great song! I've been humming it for days. RIP, Mary Tyler Moore.

[@coolsweetgroovy]

I'm only 22 and have been a fan of Mary Tyler Moore since I was little this song is classic too

[@medicicard]

I wish to dedicate this song to my dear friend, Jane, I hope she can find some inspiration from this song. Jane's life is very much like the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Jane is very much like Mary Tyler Moore--compassionate, funny, unpredictable, and everyone likes her--especially the men. Sonny Curtis has done a masterpiece on this song. 5Stars to this rendition.

[@citizenx3365]

I watched this with my mom growing up.

[@medicicard]

This version sung by Sonny Curtis is my favorite rendtion. Many has copied and they too have done a great job--Joan Jett, Sammy Davis, etc... I really like the country overtones and the soft singing style of Sonny Curtis.. Its a winner.

[@wildman0228]

The Best Song ever....!

[@kentarwood6271]

Loved you Mary!

[@TheLadyjazzy1]

Loved the show.

[@thegrandmasabrina]

Loved singing along with the theme song when the show was on the air. I'd only learned of this country version in 2015. I included it in a playlist of Arizona themed songs I played when I moved from a small college town in Oregon to Phoenix, Arizona. Even though the song wasn't specifically Phoenix related, I still liked the positive message because it mirrored the experience of Mary Richards when she moved from her small town to Minneapolis. Nowadays, when I'm feeling blue and need to get "pumped up" and have more self-confidence, I play this song and realize that yes, "you're gonna make it after all..." RIP Mary Tyler Moore.

[@caesarfiorini]

Very nice

[@ajb1776]

A masterful rendering. Brings back such memories of the show.

[@charlesmeadows6285]

I can remember watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show as a kid and Mary was wonderful on the series.

[@bonir2003]

Love the strings.

[@laurieann2938]

Minnesota loves u so much ! always n forever RIP 💕💕💕💕😥

[@bodyworshp]

Thanks for uploading this original full version. It's great when someone takes the time to put out the original for those of us that never heard it or even knew it existed.

[@noreenalvarez2723]

Finally! The original "full" version...Loved it!!!

[@Wellch]

I enjoyed seeing the lady in the background wearing the wrap in the opening segment staring at Mary.

[@jashawntaylor5592]

The Best Of Times Miss Them! Great Song, One Of My Favorite Shows!!

[@TJCATLOVER]

Great song. I didn't know about the second verse untill I found Sonny's album and played it.

[@jlbaker2000]

Awwww... love this. The country version is great..Sonny Curtis was a Cricket.(Buddy Holly) He also wrote "I Fought the Law" (and the law won).

[@daboys1215]

He joined The Crickets after Buddy's death in 1959.

[@darilcaldwell31]

Buddy and Sonny were friends

[@Eric-hq7cs]

Jb Sonny also wrote MY favorite Everly Brothers song...Walk Right Back

[@jlbaker2000]

@@daboys1215 Sonny Curtis (born May 9, 1937) is an American singer and songwriter. Known for his collaborations with Buddy Holly, he was a member of the Crickets, and continued with the band after Holly's death. Curtis's best known compositions include "Walk Right Back", a major hit in 1961 for the Everly Brothers; and "I Fought the Law", notably covered by the Bobby Fuller Four.

[@johnaso64]

No veia mucho esta serie en los 80, porque la daban muy tarde....pero siempre me quede con esta hermosa melodia

[@muitoculto]

Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well it's you, girl, and you should know it With each glance and every little movement you show it Love is all around no need to fake it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all Love is all around no need to fake it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all How will you make it on your own? This world is awfully big, and girl, this time you're all alone But it's time you started living It's time you let someone else do some giving Love is all around no need to fake it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all You're the one most likely to succeed Just be sure to keep your head, 'cause girl, you know that's all you need Everyone around adores you Don't give up, the world is waiting for you Love is all around no need to waste it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all Love is all around no need to waste it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all Love is all around no need to waste it You can have the town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all You're gonna make it after all

[@richardbarkley9909]

MARY TYLER MOORE!!!!! (RIP)

[@hankluvsdagny]

Why'd you PC up the lyrics?

[@caesarfiorini]

@@hankluvsdagny good question

[@storybellz]

@@hankluvsdagny That change in lyrics started with the Joan Jett version of the song, I think. She must have been the one to change them. Nothing wrong with the original, but I like Joan's update.

[@oefilho]

This song bring me good memories, I was a little boy and my aunt saw every episode... really good time... my aunt name is Marina.

[@thomasjohnston2911]

What a great country pedal steel version of a great tv show song. I love it.

[@TheWGLOVER]

Love both Sonny and Mary.

[@dropabombonem713]

i think this is the best 80's song ever

[@tinarodriguez9120]

GREAT SONG! Mary Richards RIP.

[@martina4181]

Donyel you ar welcome!!! :) I am glad meet fans of Mary Tyler Moore .. I love Mary for her commitment and love for animals :)

[@markmh835]

@Morikumo ..... what a fantastic idea for high school graduation! Your dad certainly was creative. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@martina4181]

peace and serenity ..to all fans of MARY TYLER MOORE ...MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

[@paulthomson8824]

Let's do another one!!!! I'm ready to see it!

[@gwb7875]

This Version is from the third Season and the Final Version of the Them Song that would last until the End of the Series Run the Lyrics Changed 3 times during it's Run.

[@markmh835]

Nice to know.

[@markcarbonaro6524]

Love the steel guitar, the tempo and the overall arrangement. Very nice.

[@dimeek7209]

I love old music it meant something it was real feeling and meanings that people felt! Most music today SUCKS!!!💄💋 Di

[@boyjohn]

This is the "countrified" version that was released in 1980. For the version from 1970 that more closely matches the TV theme, see Sonny Curtis - Love Is All Around (1970 Ovation 45)

[@JenniferMcMullenMusic]

I remember hearing this version on country radio back then.

[@richardbarkley9909]

I like this version as well.

[@MsYounghippie]

They use the extra verse in the Reunion movie sung by another group! Didn't know the song was originally written with it! In the movie version the song said your the ONE most likely to succeed

[@mikefleck98]

I still can't believe she passed away. Seems like yesterday her show was on television.

[@meltab27]

This is the very best version of this song!

[@heng040356]

Havent heard this song since my childhood. Thanks for posting it.

[@bodyworshp]

Thanks for uploading this original full version. It's great when someone takes the time to put out the original for those of us that never heard it or even knew it existed. Now I want to learn it. I'd like to find a karaoke version.

[@10995]

i remember that first verse from one of the season's of the show.

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

Sonny Curtis' original 1970 Ovation Records version of Love Is All Around is SO much better! This "Country" arrangement left a lot to be desired.

[@MrMucciacito]

Grazie Caterina per avermi riaccompagnato a casa

[@BobDuCharme]

The comments I see about this video all seem to miss an important point: Sonny Curtis wrote this song!

[@MrMucciacito]

Grazie Morgan di avermi portato al cinema a vedere i segreti di ecc. ecc. che non lo so scrivere

[@jnadle1]

This could've been a perfect "reunion movie" variation, where Mary considers moving to the countryside, but finds life to be incredibly dull when she decides to work at the local TV newsroom and misses her old Minneapolis newsroom.

[@MrMucciacito]

Buon weekend Floriana

[@BigGiantMonster]

Sonny Curtis wrote this song. He was one of the original Crickets, Buddy Holly's band

RIP MTM!

[@Jiltedin2007]

I loved Lou Grant more than anyone else on the Mary Tyler Moore show.

[@algywatt]

Sonny is surely an unsung American Icon....a master at his art; ...you should hear his instrumental album "Beatles Music Flamenco Style" it's a rare classic.

[@goback3spaces]

Who would've thought that Betty White would keep going while all the rest of them would be retired or dead.

[@TommygunNG]

I wonder, will Betty White ever grow up?

[@10995]

and now Georgia Engell and Valerie harper have died.

[@jimbarr4606]

I just checked and Ed Asner is still going strong at almost 90! When I was a kid, Saturday night tv was All in the Family, the Jeffersons, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett, “those were the days”

[@BillyAlabama]

STILL!!!

[@bbtfan4617]

And now Betty, Ed, and Gavin are the only members of the leading cast left.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

@robbrichter2010 I guess its personal preference. I find the Country version fresh and more engaging. I like the TV version also- however not the "stringed" version. I prefer the First Season Opening with the Brass. That is better . The strings are just kinda cheesy.

[@MrMucciacito]

Buongiorno Paola Baroni e buon martedì mattino

[@MrTELEMOBILE]

Hello ! i luv it !

[@jameslindstrom1127]

sonny curtis was a close friend and sometimes musician with Buddy Holly he also wrote I ''FOUGHT THE LAW'' bOBBY FULLER ''WALK RIGHT BACK'' Everly Brothers

[@Jiltedin2007]

Lou Grant was my favorite character on the show.

[@coolsweetgroovy]

Thanks you too I love her for that too and also because my mom reminds me of her

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

@robbrichter2010 I love country music, and to me this makes the theme song 10x better. The original was sooo 1970s and dated.

[@MrMucciacito]

Ti auguro un buon weekend Paola Baroni

[@paulthomson8824]

Good 'Ol Mary...give me a story!!!!

[@spongevee1]

I remember the song being played on country radio in RI in late 1970, when the show was new. Anyone know if there was an earlier version ?

Buongiorno al centro diurno Maccacaro di Ferrara auguro a tutti gli utenti e a tutti gli operatori una buona giornata

[@TommygunNG]

The 1970 Pop version is more in keeping with the song as used on the show, but it uses the less-optimistic, "You might just make it" line (save at the end) and was a chart failure. . The 1980 Country version is obviously different, but uses the more optimistic, "You're gonna make it after all" and reached 29 on the charts. . A Pop rendition with the Country version's lyrics or a combination of some sort would be interesting to hear. But until that happens, take your pick.

[@allievasserman1270]

I believe that Joan Jett’s version of this song is the pop version with the country lyrics

[@TommygunNG]

@@allievasserman1270 Well, the optimistic line is used. Nothing against her personally, and she certainly does a good rendition in her genre, but I was thinking something more... subdued?
