@@N4TCM You know him? I'd have loved to have met him. I've seen him quite a few times, mostly at the NY STATE FAIR. I did say hi to him as he was going to backstage. Said he was the BEST.
edinsyracuse1699. Heard his music since I was an early teenager in the late 70's. And a fellow ham radio operator. A radio conversation with him I found on You Tube from 2022.
I absolutely LOVED this song when I was a kid.. young black girl growing up in the roughest housing project in KY. ..and in love with Ronnie Milsap..lol
It's a song written by Burt Bacharach and originally sung by Chuck Jackson, But Ronnie does a fabulous rendition, Burt never let you sing a song of his unless you sang it his way. He always had creative control of his music. th-cam.com/video/RPgE991VDwM/w-d-xo.html
@danahoward759 I'm an inner city kid from Cincinnati Ohio, now 54 years old, and LOVE this song!!! I think when music is RIGHTEOUS, it can reach ANYONE!!! ❤❤❤❤
My wife has seen RM in concert at least 10 times and I love hearing her stories of his amazing stage presents. She also told me that RM was better live!!😊
Congratulations on making the Country Music Hall of Fame! Reminds me of traveling south in my parents van to see family listening to the country stations ....nothing like it anymore... Good days!
This song creeped in my head, involuntarily. I had to come look for it. It hit the spot. Aces all around. Sounds as good now as the last time I heard it on the radio. That must be 1980-something.
I remember this song when it was new, I was still in preschool. Throughout the decades, especially since my 20's, the chorus comes running out of nowhere through my mind like a pack of wild horses. Like now, at 3 AM when I'm trying to get to sleep. No idea where it came from, I'm just enjoying the beauty of it playing by. I didn't enjoy the "beauty " of myself singing it, so off to TH-cam I ran. Had no idea a video existed until now. Perfectly fits the image I'd always had in my mind hearing (and pretty much living) it. This was always one of my favorite Ronnie songs, but the video just moved it to the top. Country Gold 🤎
I'm a fan of Ronnie myself. I think it's awesome that, even though he's blind, he can still sing and play the piano. I'm also a musician, and I've got cerebral palsy in my left hand and I think I've learned somethin' from Ronnie-don't let disabilities stop you from doing what you love. Even though I've got cerebral palsy, I sing and play steel guitar and Ronnie's music is awesome!
Despite the lack of airplay over the years, Ronnie Milsap unequivocally had one of the best voices of any country male artists in Nashville. Having 40 #1 hits to his credit, his cross-over success and appeal to pop/R&B/country fans showcased their love for an excellent, pure voice. We remember his songs, this one, Smoky Mt. Rain, No Getting Over Me and Lost In The 50s Tonight, and how he sang with crystal clear clarity and charisma. A beautiful voice that will forever remain time-tested, greatly appreciated, loved and well remembered by fans the world over!
Ronnie Milssp is a great lover of 50s music ..Chuck Jackson would be proud of how Ronnie took this song and kept the beauty of it alive for future generations of people everywhere ..Thank you Ronnie
the most current fight from me and my girlfriend,, this song defined it. it was exactly how i felt. every single word and line. liveon forever ronnie~!
It's a fine line between country...pop...or whatever these days. Ronnie and the Eagles sure did break a lot of ground for us today. There are some styles that stand the test of time and.....
Well that's funny that you say that because this was not written by Bacharach as a country song. If you check out the original version by Chuck Johnstone you will see what Bacharach's intention was. You are assuming that Ronnie wrote it.
I didn’t appreciate this song so much as a kid, passing time listening to the radio in my room. As a grown up, now having been through some heartbreaks and nostalgic for those simpler times of childhood, this song really pulls me in.
my favorite performer who had so many damn good hits and seemed to be underappreciated for his music cause you never hear his name mentioned when u hear talk of greatest country singers of all time. thanx for the vid anyways
I LOVE Ronnie Milsap. Sad to hear he just played his last concert, but glad he did it on his own choice and on his own terms. So many of his hits played a HUGE part of my upbringing and roller skating days. On a different note: The description of this video "films Ronnie Ronnie with his all white Yamaha piano" -- made me think for a moment the keys would be white. They aren't. Beautiful song.
Reminds me of a girl from way back when..I could see us growing apart and although I wanted to accept it, my heart wouldn't let me, and I was still devestated when it happened. Songs like this make it a little easier.. Beautiful song, especially with the smooth vocalizations of Mr. Ronnie Milsap
Ronnie turned me on to country music, I was never a country fan until I heard his wonderful voice and I thought maybe I should give country a chance. Thank you Ronnie!
God Bless you Mr. Milsap sorry for all your loss. God will show us all with all our loved yousoon we shall walk the golden roads of out great home on high with our loved ones who made the cut. Praying for your health. Still listening to your music daily.
My favourite Ronnie's song. Great video. Thanks for share it. The song bring me back to the seventies, when I was teenager (almost 18 years old) From Guatemala.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music
Ronnies early years in the country music business was a special time.New producers were making country with a more pop sound. Chet Atkins was Pres.of RCA Nashville when this idea began to take hold.His(Chets)thoughts were to bring in a better sound musically.Many new acts were tried during this time.Ronnie was one of them.He's great ain't he kids.Thanks.
Had the 45 back in the good old days. Beautiful song. And a perfect rendition. Hits me right here. Do you remember when he was on that video with all the oldtimers for the 50th CMA awards? Jesus that was nice. Praise jeepers.
I hear old songs like this and it takes me back to the times I first heard it and the memories of my life then It is so odd to recall some of them now. I was a different person back then.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music
that's too strange...first song I ever heard too, then I bought the cassette, to which I loved, He Got You, on that one. Favorite is "I wouldn't have missed it for the world"....Combat Marine here, and I've listened to that through Desert Storm, and Iraq. Thanks Ronnie for the help. God bless him, and get my brothers and sisters in arms back home safe and sound.
It was today bad for opening my eyes I couldn't believe it but now I do believe you and your new lady for Kroger whatever you want to call it daytime enjoy your day
Love this song, I hope one day I'll get to hear it playing on the radio while dining at Cherry Creek Catfish in Austin, TX, they play classic country music.

Does anybody realize just how talented this man is?
Over here mate. Or should I say down under.
I've known since the late 70's. Ronnie's been the man. Saw him twice.

Got to see him twice in Greeneville Tn. Been a fan of his since the late 70's. Any Day Now came out my senior year of high school.
this song reminds of two stepping with my dad. RiP daddy I love you.
My sympathy for your lost. I loved my Dad too.
💕
I remember listening to this when my mom was cleaning. Rip mom

And in another part of the world, a queer kid growing up in Hawaii loving his music too. Along with 'Stranger in my house'
And my beautiful bird you would have flown!!!
I think EVERY girl was in love with Ronnie
@danahoward759
I'm an inner city kid from Cincinnati Ohio, now 54 years old, and LOVE this song!!! I think when music is RIGHTEOUS, it can reach ANYONE!!!
❤❤❤❤
1982 never sounded so good!!! This record still sounds great today.
You should listen to the "Inside" album this song came from...it has a wealth of fabulous songs.
1982, 18 and when Country was cool.
Solid country gold. Pure heartache.. love it..
This is real music . Not what we have now a days .
Great song to begin with - but Ronnie Milsap with his distinct voice, brings a simple but sweet country flavor to it...............love it.
You should check out, Ronnie Millsap Greatest Hits.👍
He is a special gift with a special voice! Love you Ronnie M
My wife has seen RM in concert at least 10 times and I love hearing her stories of his amazing stage presents. She also told me that RM was better live!!😊
Still listening in 2024...and on and on...
I love his sound what a gem Ronnie had this song just makes you feel good ful of hope 1982 gold ❤
COUNTRY MUSIC ISN'T THE SAME ANYMORE!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!! I MISS THE 80'S!! :)
Why do you say that country music isn't the same anymore Nicole?
I don't like country..but I LOVE this song. It's amazing!
Congratulations on making the Country Music Hall of Fame! Reminds me of traveling south in my parents van to see family listening to the country stations ....nothing like it anymore... Good days!
What a great tune in any time period. Just proves a good song is timeless. Had no idea this was a cover!

Love his Music. His handicap never prevented from succeeding in life. Great Voice.
Ronnie Milsap and Bacharach: another great combination. RIP Mr. Bacharach. Thank you for the great songs. 🎵🎵❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
Never gets old. Ronnie was just THE MASTER. And nobody could do a “break up” song like him.
Fall Creek, Oregon, and out in the country with my cousins listening to great music like this on the Ford car stereo.
Wow, songs like this are rare these days. Sooooo mellow.
They broke the mold when Olivia was born. What a gift to the world!
Been listening to this since I first heard it many years ago. Still tugs at the heart, eh? Ronnie, I salute you, sir.
One of my Top 5 All-Time Favorite Songs (of any genre)!!! Ronnie Milsap was a country music icon!!!
I've listned to this song so much that whenever i'm waiting for someting and I hear somebody say "any day now" I instantly think of this song :D
Same here!
I'm a fan of Ronnie myself. I think it's awesome that, even though he's blind, he can still sing and play the piano.

Sam Toucan Chuck Jackson not Johnstone.
Sam Toucan Looks like you're the one with the assumptions.
beautiful.
love his voice & this tune
