    • @MostlyBrenda
      @MostlyBrenda  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, they don't show that one on TV. I think it was 2 or 3 parts like a mini-series and probably too long for a showing on cable or streaming.

    • @dianefiske-foy4717
      @dianefiske-foy4717 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@MostlyBrenda ... It was 4 hours long, but I can’t remember if it was 1 or 2 parts. It was filmed in Hawaii. My brother-in-law was in the U.S. Army then and, if I remember correctly, he played a court reporter in it. Also, the actor Jose Ferrer told him to become a professional extra because you get more money. Probably more extra parts too, I would think. My nephew, his son, is an actor in California. Played an extra in a lot of shows like NCIS: Los Angeles and Desperately Seeking Susan. Been in a lot of movies too. Not sure if he’s gotten any acting gigs where his name is listed though. Haven’t been keeping up with him lately. Haven’t kept up with much of anything of anyone lately. Not felt like it.

    I have learned the truth in this piece is only revealed in the company of the right person. All other attempts fall way short of what is revealed within the parameters of thoughts and feeling exemplified within the boundaries of this piece. truly a beautiful thought and reality of the piece. peace to all who have kept the faith.

    Kris wrote it for a male, but the song took an unexpected turn when Sammi Smith had a #1 Country hit and top ten pop hit with it. The lyrics were then considered shocking for a female to sing. Many female versions followed and today many people consider the song to be part of the feminist / women's liberation movement of the 70s.

      @MostlyBrenda  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      He had the good sense to just be a compliment and let her carry the load. He wrote it and some writers would feel like it's their song and they deserve the spotlight, but here he quite happily deferred to her. We are all better for it.

    Kris asks Brenda if the next line is hers and she nods yes. I can't make out his exact words, he says "Next one you?" or some such. Best part is later when she sings "neee-eed a friend" after 3:10 Kris goes "whew" as a compliment. For some reason your post was marked as spam and I never saw it till today.

      She knew him at an early age and over 20 years they communicated pretty frequently. Elvis, however, didn't not really record duets except when it was part of a movie script.

    • @MostlyBrenda
      @MostlyBrenda  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      IMHO, some try to do this one too fast. It's more difficult to do it slow like this version because the singer(s) have a more difficult time establishing a rhythm for their phrasing. Kris and Brenda do a great job on that score, however. And she throws in some beautiful soaring notes not heard elsewhere.

    • @wesleyballard6735

  • @MostlyBrenda
    @MostlyBrenda  15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Now I think Kris simply forgot who had the next line and whispers something like "next line you?" It makes sense because he does sing the line later in the song. Then he says "That's pretty!" as they cut to the violins. Deleted my old posts on this.

    Kris ain't got the best singing voice....but every once in a while he hits the notes right. 😂

    • @MostlyBrenda
      @MostlyBrenda  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      He gets a little confused around 2:00 about who's turn it is, probably because they are doing the exchanges differently than he did with Rita. It probably helps that Brenda is never off-key and so he can just match her pitch.
