I'm Jeff Raymond and I co-wrote this song. I appreciate all the great things said here about Eddie. He was a great guy and I wrote in my Book about Eddie and Me and Clint Eastwood at the Palamino in L. A. It was a Hollywood moment in time me.
I remember going to the Palomino in the mid-late 80's. But the time this Variations album came out in 1978, you guys may have been hanging out there some years earlier. I have a question, Jeff. Are Alan Ray and Even Stevens still around ? Great song, and thanks for commenting !
@@Melinda8162no I took care of his Father Thomas & ran errands for his Mom Mae. Eddie,Demelza & Tommy spent every Christmas eve at my house. They were family to us....my kids adored him. He spoiled them when they made good grades. He was a good man we will miss him forever 😢
He belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Eddie’s been gone almost 21 years now. Disgraceful his wife and children are being denied enjoying that honor. He had something like a 10 year unbroken string of number one hit singles!! Crystal needs to be coming up for consideration also.!
Wait. I'm not a huge country fan, but I am a fan of songwriters. But this guy wrote "Kentucky Rain" for gawdsake!! That song BY ITSELF should immortalize him in ANY "Hall of Fame" It's simply a brilliant song! A standard. It's probably the same kind of stupid ass politics that keep Dan Fogelberg out of the "Rock & Roll Hall of Flaming Fucking Egos." Disgraceful.
He was SO TALENTED he wrote A LOT of his own songs & wasn't flashy & hot Dann, SEXY the 1st time I saw him on the TV I FELL in love with him, I swear to God I'd have slept in his dirty laundry basket🤩 I never had much money back then but HIS album was the 1st album I ever bought, I wore "Love lines" OUT!
Those are the hardest words You'll ever hear. I remember 1978 and it should have been the best time of my life I Miss Eddie Rabbit, cancer took him too soon.
What a talented man! Not to mention extremely good-looking, and charismatic. Such a shame, he died so young. RIP, Eddie--thanks for all the wonderful music.😔💒
He was one of the last great country artists. The heart of country was gone by the late 80s, in my opinion. It became something different that I didn't like much and still don't. I'm sure money and greed had something to do with it.
I'm an R&B person but I've always loved Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Waylon and Eddie. Saw Eddie twice in concert. Dang, he was talented and so handsome. Going through my album collection now in effort to downsize and came across some of Eddie's albums. What memories. Gone way too soon!
That's how I feel, I made a Playlist of my own another nothing but EDDIE RABBITT, he wrote so many songs, I don't get bored listening to him ... Even repetition of many of his songs, always love it when they pop up again and again ❤
At great performance given by Eddie Rabbitt at the American Royal Rodeo in Kansas City, MO back when I was in college at the University of Kansas. I love his music. Rest in Peace.
Why has'nt the AMERICAN MUSIC INDUSTRY,not given any form of recognition to the late EDDIE RABBIT? The man is brilliant singer deserving of such awards in ant form,if the music industry inthe USA,could award so called singers like Taylor Swift,whose works,is i seriously doubt would be remember by the 2030's ,then EDDIE RABBIT,should be given due recognition,posthumously as it is. CRYSTAL GAYLE,should be given the same,she still very much around,i find it stupid and ironic that mediocre singers,are given awards,while the brilliant ones are completely ignored.
I always found time for an Eddy Rabbit song during a 4 or 5 hour on air shift.Most the time a listener would request 1 from him or I find 1. He wrote "Old Kentucky rain" for Elvis Presley and wrote other songs as well. The fact that he was from New Jersey and his father came from Ireland was unique in American country music of the time.Eddy and his producers moved country music into a wider cross over audience that also included many traditionalist who understood that like bringing electric guitars and drums into country,so to the Eddy Rabbits,John Denver and Kenny Rogers of the industry had to come on in. Country having a BIG tent during this time kept it alive.
COUNTRY MUSIC LEGEND HE SURE TAUGHT ME AS A KID GOOD COUNTRY MUSIC STYLE I SURE MISS THIS SOUND ! GOD BLESS YOU EDDIE YOU ARE DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATS!!
1978; one of his dozen-and-a-half or so Country #1's, and probably the first of them to cross to AC/Top-40, where he also did well in the late 70's to mid-80's. Cancer took him in the mid-90's. Most of his records were made in Nashville, using some of the best studio people on the planet.
He wrote mostly all his songs. He was known as a song writer and had written Kentucky Rain (Elvis) and Pure Love (Ronnie Milsap) before he was performing his own songs. He was amazing!
Who would’ve ever dreamt, a yankee (no offense meant! Loved a few of them) could do this kinda country and be so excellent at it! Saw him once, Sound Warehouse in Houston! Snuck out to do it (I was 12) what do ya know, my face came up in the Houston Chronicle that Sunday and I got busted by my Mom and Dad! Got grounded, but never regretted it! He was a “one of a kind of magic”♥️♥️♥️
Saw him 4 times in concert, best was the one he gave early in his career at The Blue Max in Rosemont , Illinois! One of my most memorable concerts in my lifetime !
OK it may be a little boring of a concert because he’s just standing there but that’s back whenever they didn’t need another tape playing so they could lip sync. They actually had real talent. I never heard this song or heard most of the songs but he’s good he’s really good.
Yes he should be n he Hall Fame he deserves that much because i love the way he sing's , when i listen to it i sing to it because i know it that it important people love his music !!!

GREAT SONG!!
Way to go brother.
Great song, Jeff. In my Top 4 for 1978. But--all I have IS five words on my mind, not "are." 🙂
Haven't heard his voice in a long time--its beautiful!
Eddie was the Best!!! ❤
I will love you forever 💓
DISO-TASTIC!!
Baby please forgive me...but the wine’s gone to my head...
So many great songs and all you can post is one?

A legend in country music. He is Awesome. He should be in the Hall of Fame,
Yes I agree with you
Which of his songs is your favorite?
@@borysgregor95 all of them
Sure but who cares. He wrote Kentucky Rain and Elvis sang it. But yes I agree with you, Eddie Rabbit was an incredible talent.
My husband looked like him then. Now 47 years later I wish his family could see what he would have looked like now😢 3:38
He has never got the credit he deserved.
No lip syncing here. This guy was awesome. Underrated in my book.
Eddie was awesome. Wish he was still here. I saw him in 1978 in Oklahoma. I was 15, those were the best days to live in.
I worked for Eddie many years. He made a huge impact on my children me & the world. We miss you so much.
I went to HS with a member of his band....were you in his band? So sad he's gone. Really one of the best.
@@Melinda8162no I took care of his Father Thomas & ran errands for his Mom Mae. Eddie,Demelza & Tommy spent every Christmas eve at my house. They were family to us....my kids adored him. He spoiled them when they made good grades. He was a good man we will miss him forever 😢
I just love Eddie Rabbitt. He was so underrated. Handsome and classy.
Listening to him for many years.

I agree totally. But alot of great artists waited late in
Their life to be honoured. A sad loss for us all but great songs forever.

I'm hairy as hell . if I could I would have a beard all the time
woobiefuntime Well, grow it out, man!
Jennifer McMullen I will . I'd show u if I did
You dont need alot of stage when you have the swauve of this man

The most handsome singer of the 1970s so masculine and sexy with a voice that could melt any heart.
so glad u like music just out this world dont u agree to hate people dont like him
How are you guys not banned from jewtube
Tragic loss, his music was really heartelt and has many memories for people who broke up and sometimes got together again.❤
He was one of the last great country artists. The heart of country was gone by the late 80s, in my opinion. It became something different that I didn't like much and still don't. I'm sure money and greed had something to do with it.
Agree, I made it till the early 90s.
All older stuff on my save lists.
So hard to believe Eddie has been gone over 20 years..still miss him a lot!
This number always makes me happy but down. A favorite of mine!!!🤣
I miss him as well and maybe hope to see him another way!!😪
Exactly my thoughts ❤
We miss you Eddie Rabbitt. All your songs you sang to us was just fantastic!! We love you. RIP in Peace Eddie. 🌹🎤❤🌹💕🎵🎵❤🌹

Hello Vicki
Loved Eddie Rabbit, gone too soon
He was such an amazing talent
Which of his songs is your favorite?
Never got the recognition he should have from the cma or the other friggin award
What a pro.....
I THINK THIS MAN WROTE AND COMPOSED THE LYRICS AND MUSIC TO ALL HIS TUNES!
He had several hits that he didn't write, including this one. Written by Alan Ray and Jeff Raymond
Ron Roberts He did write most of them.
He wrote mostly all his songs. He was known as a song writer and had written Kentucky Rain (Elvis) and Pure Love (Ronnie Milsap) before he was performing his own songs. He was amazing!
wow, love both of those songs,, ahd no idea he wrote them,, sadly,, we lost a huge talented person here as well
Yes for others also
Sad 😔 Meaningful and so beautiful 😀❤

He definitely could write beautiful ballads. He even wrote one or two for Elvis.
