@kenwilcox5418 none of us really want to admit how much her father's mean to us... If we were lucky we were touched by the life of someone who this song connected with them to us Blessings to all who have felt something when hearing this song.
We played this at Dad' s funeral in 2015. My Dad (stepdad) was a hard as nails ex-working cowboy and truck driver but he cried over a poem I wrote for him about how a father didn't have to be bound to his kids by blood as long as he was bound to them by love.
My dad passed away around this time. This song, the first time I heard it, made me bust down and cry. I think any little girl. Poor young man who had a father who was very prominent in their life who they fashioned their life after knows these words and feels each and every one of them...
My sister, myself and our brother lost our dad in 2011, we played this at his memorial. I still miss him everyday. I'm getting ready eyed right now listening to this song 😢
This song hits me hard. I lost my dad as a preteen. RIP Ms. Holly Dunn. We loved you here in Detroit on country music radio as a guest dj!!! She was a great addition!
RIP Holly Dunn. She passed away in 2016 in my hometown - Albuquerque - and this song is just so moving - and triply so given my dad died in 2012 and then hearing Holly Dunn passed in 2016. What amazing lyrics and song - very powerful.
I LOVE this song. It's describes my daddy perfectly! He's 78 now but he and I have always been so close. When my parents come over to visit me and my husband, daddy always hugs me so tight and says "Daddys baby" and I feel so safe. During the summer, even when I was only 5 or 6 he would take me on the road with him as he delivered and sold tires around central/ southern Arkansas. Some of my favorite memories of him were during that time. ❤
I have been singing this song for years. In fact, I am a gospel music artist and put this song on my album that I released a couple of years ago. My parents raised 11 children in very tough times. My father severely injured his back on the job in the 1960s and was not able to continue working his job. However, he worked tirelessly in the large gardens we raised to feed his family. He also Hunted for meat for the table and trapped fur-bearing animals and dug medicinal roots to sell for extra money for the family. I always dedicate this song to my parents whenever I sing it. I have always tried to live up to the hard work and dedication to God and family that my parents gave me as an example. I served 6 years in the Marine Corps, 23 years as a 9-1-1 Dispatcher, then 4 years as a Correctional Officer. I have also volunteered as an EMT and firefighter. I also continue to do what I can for our fallen veterans, by performing military funeral services in both Ohio and West Virginia. I can only hope that my parents are smiling down on me from above.
This song hits home for both my mom and dad. My dad didn’t express much emotion but he always had gentle hands and yes his were steel when us kids did wrong but he never disciplined us without us knowing why he had to do it. I feel like if I could live my life again I would appreciate both of my parents more than I did when I was a kid. I appreciate my parents more now that I became a parent and started to fully understand the why of everything.
This song is the epitome of my Daddy. Played it when he passed away. I sat in my house by myself and played it over and over till I had no more tears coming out. This songs still brings a tear to my eyes.
First time I ever heard this song was when my first wife danced with her dad at our wedding. Very touching. He was a good man who I admired, and she was a good person as well.
Just a bit if truth.....I WROTE THIS SONG.....I LIVE IN OREGON...my sister without my knowledge sent this poem of mine to an ad in the back of a magazine that advertised money for your poems. I wrote this poem in my bedroom back in 1977. My dad was a mechanic so his hands were always beat up....and sacrificed unselfish supporting 7 children and a home mommy. Hard as steel...I did receive some spankings...also he kneeled beside my bed at night praying 🙏 with me and my sisters. I know this truth...he knew it as he had read the poem before it ever become a song. When we all heard it on the radio we recognized it. But there was no proof as I had lost my poem book. This song will live on and leave a mark on this world and be a tribute to my Daddy and that is Royalty enough for me and my daddy and my family who knows who's heart ❤️ it was birthed from. Thank you for giving my Daddy this respect and honor and featuring it on your broadcast 🎉
This song completely breaks me. My parents had this big karaoke set up and my dad loved to hear me sing this. I sang it and went to the store for him to pick up a few things. When I got back, he had a heart attack and died in my lap. That was January 29, 2015. My mom had it played at his funeral and I completely lost it.
Because she was Blacklisted by Country Radio before the end of 1991. First there was the absurd "Maybe I Mean Yes" nonsense. That should have never happened. Clearly, she was being targeted. Then there were complaints from the Railroad industry over "No One Takes The Train Anymore" which should have been a huge song. "Maybe I Mean Yes" had been the CMT Pick Hit Video when it was released. It was her highest debuting single to date. So it was going to be a huge hit for her. What we might now term "Woke" Radicals claimed that the song could lead to potential "Date Rape" which was little short of ridiculous. But she folded to them and had the song pulled from Radio, removed it from her live shows, and taken off CMT and TNN. Instead of her being respected for it, her career was never the same after that. At least not in the United States, but she still got allot of airplay in England and Australia. I was bitterly angry how she was treated. Her brilliant new 1992 album "GETTING IT DUNN" that she spent two years producing should have been her biggest to date, but it was totally snubbed by Mean Spirited Country Radio. After the second single got little air-play she was unexpectedly dropped by Warner Brothers Records in early 93. I was so ticked off, because I knew that album was full of Big Hit songs that never saw the light of day. Prior to the "Maybe I Mean Yes" fiasco Holly was on the verge of becoming one of the top Stars in the industry. Something very similar happen to Lari White in 1996. CMT Pick Hit Video of the week "Wild At Heart". However the video was set in an Asylum and some easily offended trouble-makers crawled out of the woodwork and complained that it was insensitive to the mentally impaired. Total nonsense, but Lari decided to have the Video and the single pulled. Instead of her gaining respect for the decision, RCA shockingly released her from her contract within weeks, letting her fabulous new album "Don' Fence Me In" which was loaded with big hit songs go to waste. This really stalled her momentum, as prior to the "Wild At Heart" uproar Lari was one of the fastest rising female stars in the business. It took Lari 14 months to sign a new recording contract with Lyric Street. She should have never been let go by RCA in the first place. Just so unfair.
I was the oldest daughter in the family and was DADDYS GIRL. I can relate to this......he did what needed to be done to keep us fed and clothed and did alot with us. I TRULY LOVE N RESPECT HIM FOR THAT. He has since passed but not a day goes by that I don't think of him and miss him. ❤❤
All of my Dad's 6 granddaughters sang this song at his funeral. This song spoke truth to my siblings and me. He was an obedient believer so is with Jesus now.
This song hit really big in ‘87 which was the year I lost my daddy in a tragic work related accident when I was 13 years old. It was hard to hear this song all the time then. Through the years it’s become a very special and meaningful song for me. ❤
Daddy's Hands is Holly's signature song, but it was not her biggest chart hit. Far from it. Her four Number 1's on the three major charting services were "Love Someone Like Me", "Only When I Love" both in 1987 "Are You Ever Gonna Love Me" in 1989 her first Billboard Number, and "You Really Had Me Going" in 1990 which was Number 1 on Gavin, R&R and Billboard. All of these she wrote or Co-wrote. It wasn't a number 1, but one of her most popular songs in "There Goes My Heart Again" from 1989 which reached Number 3 on Billboard. "What Your Love Does To Me" was also Top 5. One of my favorite songs of Holly's is a tune called "Let Go" which weas a staple of her Live shows. "Why Wyoming" and "It's Always Gonna Be Someday" are a couple more lesser-known favorites. She recorded a couple of noteworthy duets with Micheal Martin Murphy and Kenny Rogers respectively. The first of these "A Face In The Crowd" made it to number 3 on Billboard in 1987 and was nominated for vocal collaboration of the year. The other "Maybe" from 1989 is a really underrated song. Kenny and Holly sound great together. I'm really just getting started here. Holly Dunn was a tremendously underrated artist.
At my sister's wedding , our stepdad request an special dance with my sister and intentionally didn't tell her what song was until this song started to play , both of them started to cry as they dance , my oldest nephew's wife who rans an photography business with my nephew , was snapped a picture while they were dancing and crying, an very special moment.
I had such a good relationship with my dad. We would do anything for each other. When he was sick, he'd call me over to cook and eat breakfast with him. I took him on a four-hour trip once a month to the V.A. Hospital. We got even closer, and he opened up to me about a lot of things that he regretted when he was a younger man. My only regret was that I didn't have a very close relationship with my mom until he died. I miss them both but know they are together again.
My dad passed four days after my 21st birthday. I'm, 55yo now. This song makes me tear up every time. I'm sure everybody thinks this song is about their own dad... but it perfectly describes mine, so I know it's only about mine...
Holly was one of my favorite artists, She has so many great songs. I was a member of her fan club in the early 80's. Holly actually had 4 Number 1 songs, several more Top 5's and Top 10's, Two Gold Albums, and won numerous awards. She was also made an official member of the Grand Old Opry in 1989. That is her brother Chris Waters we see on Harmony in the video. Daddy's Hand's was written in 1983 and recorded in 1985 on her debut album. She had a great run of success up until the middle of 1991, when Holly was literally Black Blisted by Country Radio. I won't get into that right now. In all honesty, she should have had many more Top 5 and number 1 singles, but the Blacklist was hard to overcome. Holly died of cancer in late 2016 at the age of 58. Less than 2 years later another of my other Country favorites Lari White also passed away at just 52 years of age in January of 2018. Hope you will react to some of Lari's songs soon. I was a member of Lari's Fan Club in the 90's as well. Lari won 3 Grammy's in the 90's.
Definitely didn’t have a great relationship with my dad. He was in and out of the picture. But my mom had a wonderful dad. Everyone lived my grandpa. A kind but stern man. He stayed by my grandma’s side and raised seven children together. He worked hard all his life to provide for his family. This song always makes me cry cause I think about grandpa. He passed too early at 61 years old from a brain tumor. I wish I had a dad like my grandpa. But like you said, I’m trying to do better for my kids than what I had. I still teach them lessons passed into me from my mom, who got them from grandpa.
I have always sung this for my dad. I have recorded it myself because he asked me to sing at his funeral. I told him I didn't think that would be possible, so I recorded it for him.
If I could do things over I would remain as dirt poor as I was as a kid, momma took care of us. I worked 16-18 hr days 5-7 days a week. My brothers and I promised our children and spouses will never receive a closed hand. I would misdirect dad away from everyone else and take the wrong kind of punishment. Too bad my grandpa didn’t learn from his dad. His mom was the abusive person. 4 generations my brothers and cousins haven’t carried on with that kind of treatment to our children and spouses. I still don’t understand why my little brother stayed angry with me for getting in front of him. We’ve settled that out. So spread love to everyone around you.
My daughter chose this song for her dads funeral, five months ago he was killed instantly struck by a vehicle as we stopped to help someone in need during a storm, so touching the tears are falling as I listen…😢💔
I remember my Daddy spanking me 1 time.. and it was for something my sister had done.. my sister confessed to it and my Daddy came to me in tears and apologizing to me .. I was like 7 yrs old.. my Daddy never laid a hand to me again.. and when I say a spanking.. it was 3 slaps on my bottom.. it wasn't abuse.. today's world is so ridiculous to me. I've raised 5 children.. the youngest is now 24.. the oldest 37.. I'm not gonna lie.. they got some spankings.. but they are all doing great today.. I don't think they were damaged
One of Holly's most powerful songs is "When No Place Is Home". It is almost too painful to listen too. Should have been used like a UNICEF fund raiser or for another charity like Feed The Children. She had a couple of great Duet's "A Face In The Crowd" with Michael Martin Murphy which was nominated for a Grammy. One of her 3 Grammy Nominations. The other was "Maybe" with Kenny Rogers. Holly's song "If Your Heart Can't Do The Talking" from 1992 I still believe was a huge influence on the original version of Shania Twain's "If Your Not In It For Love (I'm Outta Here) a couple 3 years later.
This may or not matter to anyone but... If you have one or both of your parents still here on this earth. Let em know that you love em regardless of how they may have been in the past, because once they're gone... Ya can't go back and change it. I lost my Mama on my oldest son's birthday in 2017, a brother in February of 2018 and then my Dad on my youngest son's birthday. A year and 23 days apart from the passing of my parents. They left this world at the moment they were supposed to but I let both of em know that I love em to the best of my ability. Forgiveness is often hard but it can happen. Just allow yourself to do it.
I truly hope that your parents are willing to watch your videos so they can share in your kind spirit. Its hard for me not to see my daughters in your reacting to th 70s music I grew up with, keep trying
This song just tears me up, every time I hear it. My Daddy died 3 months after I turned 18. Now, please check out Reba McEntire's, "The Greastest Man I Never Knew". I promise it will get you in the feels.
I'm not a subscriber since I am a bit choosy in the music I listen to. That said, I think you are a truly beautiful lady (in ALL facets) and you always seem to come easily to the emotional meaning of the music you react to. I try to make it a point to catch your reactions when you take up my favorite artists/songs for that very reason. Keep goin'..
This reminds me of my dad whose passed away. He quit spanking me at age 9 when he broke a wood chopping board on my rear end after one hit. He broke out laughing and did spank me no more as he realize a disappointed look from him was worse then a spanking to me.
It’s amazing how much country music has changed. Not even country anymore. Good to hear some of the good stuff here.
Truly not country anymore
It's no longer even close to Country anymore.
There's still some good stuff, just harder to find
@kenwilcox5418 none of us really want to admit how much her father's mean to us... If we were lucky we were touched by the life of someone who this song connected with them to us Blessings to all who have felt something when hearing this song.
True statement right there!!

She was one of my favorites when I was young It broke my heart when I found out she died of cancer at 59 She has many great songs

Thank you for your service. Bless you.
You should check out her song "Maybe I Mean Yes". Created quite a firestorm in the early 90s.
Holly Dunn was popular in the late 70s and 80s. She left music, lived in New Mexico and was an artist until her death from cancer.
This song hits home for both my mom and dad. My dad didn’t express much emotion but he always had gentle hands and yes his were steel when us kids did wrong but he never disciplined us without us knowing why he had to do it.

This song always makes me cry as it reminds me of my dad who passed away over 30 yrs ago. Also listen to her song 18 wheels and a dozen roses.
18 Wheels is Kathy Mattea's song.
So glad you found this song. I always get up and shut the door when I hear it so my family doesn't see me cry.
This song is the epitome of my Daddy. Played it when he passed away. I sat in my house by myself and played it over and over till I had no more tears coming out. This songs still brings a tear to my eyes.

Beautiful song, dads don't get enough praise these days. Woof! Woof! Woof! Go Dawgs

She died of ovarian cancer in 2016. I believe she was 59.
For some reason Holly never got the recognition she deserved. Gone entirely too soon

Check out Reba McEntire's "The greatest man I never knew" for another father-daughter song. Also George Strait, "A love without end, amen".
"I Loved Her First" by Heartland. "From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me, I knew the love of a father runs deep."
When I got married, I played this for my dad. He was crippled up with severe arthritis, in a wheelchair and could not dance. It had everyone in tears.
I was the oldest daughter in the family and was DADDYS GIRL. I can relate to this......he did what needed to be done to keep us fed and clothed and did alot with us. I TRULY LOVE N RESPECT HIM FOR THAT. He has since passed but not a day goes by that I don't think of him and miss him. ❤❤
Exactly the same for me- this too, was played at my Dads funeral in 2112. I cry every time I hear it.
@@jeancarroccino8574 I’m the only girl and the oldest with rare disorder. I was just like my daddy and such a daddy’s girl
That's my job by Conway Twitty another great dad song
Great classic 80s country. Holly was great.
Lost our dad unexpectedly April 2023.. army Major. This was my sister's song for him. Mine was leader of the band. ❤❤❤
All of my Dad's 6 granddaughters sang this song at his funeral. This song spoke truth to my siblings and me. He was an obedient believer so is with Jesus now.
I'm a daddy's girl. This song gets me every time. I can't imagine my life without him.
I sang this at my Dads funeral. Nobody knew I could sing lol. Everybody was so proud of me. Mind you idk if they would have told me that I sucked. ❤

This song hits different after your daddy is no longer here... Crying like a little BIAt..........
I’ve always loved this song since it first came out. So good to see a reaction to it.
At my sister's wedding , our stepdad request an special dance with my sister and intentionally didn't tell her what song was until this song started to play , both of them started to cry as they dance , my oldest nephew's wife who rans an photography business with my nephew , was snapped a picture while they were dancing and crying, an very special moment.
this song was played at my daddys funeral 15 yrs ago already... i love u daddy!
I'm so glad you did this one!!!
a friend from USA sent me an audio cassette tape of Holly's containing this song in about 1986. still got it somewhere.
This is such a great song, and she is very underrated. Great reaction
I had such a good relationship with my dad. We would do anything for each other. When he was sick, he'd call me over to cook and eat breakfast with him. I took him on a four-hour trip once a month to the V.A. Hospital. We got even closer, and he opened up to me about a lot of things that he regretted when he was a younger man.

This song makes me tear up every time. I'm sure everybody thinks this song is about their own dad... but it perfectly describes mine, so I know it's only about mine...
Always makes me cry. I can so relate with this song

In all honesty, she should have had many more Top 5 and number 1 singles, but the Blacklist was hard to overcome. Holly died of cancer in late 2016 at the age of 58. Less than 2 years later another of my other Country favorites Lari White also passed away at just 52 years of age in January of 2018. Hope you will react to some of Lari's songs soon. I was a member of Lari's Fan Club in the 90's as well. Lari won 3 Grammy's in the 90's.
You have uncommon wisdom for such a young woman Miss Britt. Your words are quite welcome.
Holly when to college with Ronny Dunn not related but in an interview she said she use to tell people he was her older brother
Beautiful and timeless one here
Indeed!
I believe this was Hollys 1st big hit. She has many good songs.
Definitely didn’t have a great relationship with my dad. He was in and out of the picture. But my mom had a wonderful dad. Everyone lived my grandpa. A kind but stern man. He stayed by my grandma’s side and raised seven children together. He worked hard all his life to provide for his family. This song always makes me cry cause I think about grandpa. He passed too early at 61 years old from a brain tumor. I wish I had a dad like my grandpa. But like you said, I’m trying to do better for my kids than what I had. I still teach them lessons passed into me from my mom, who got them from grandpa.
Literally watched my dad’s hands working till they bled.
Beautiful, loving song 😊
I have always sung this for my dad. I have recorded it myself because he asked me to sing at his funeral. I told him I didn't think that would be possible, so I recorded it for him.
Great Reaction......
I think with any type of punishment, There needs to be articulation of why the punishment is happening....
My dad died in 1990. I was only 22 at the time. Still miss him every day.
If I could do things over I would remain as dirt poor as I was as a kid, momma took care of us. I worked 16-18 hr days 5-7 days a week. My brothers and I promised our children and spouses will never receive a closed hand. I would misdirect dad away from everyone else and take the wrong kind of punishment. Too bad my grandpa didn’t learn from his dad. His mom was the abusive person. 4 generations my brothers and cousins haven’t carried on with that kind of treatment to our children and spouses. I still don’t understand why my little brother stayed angry with me for getting in front of him. We’ve settled that out. So spread love to everyone around you.
Beautiful song…… 🎶 😊❤
Always a good song. She went to College in Abilene, TX
Abilene Christian University where she also worked as a DJ on the college radio station.

I lost my dad sep 3rd 2024 to cancer 😢 this has been my favorite song since I was a little girl. RIP daddy ❤
You should listen to a song by Brad Paisley and the Late Andy Griffith, "Waiting on a Woman"
My daughter chose this song for her dads funeral, five months ago he was killed instantly struck by a vehicle as we stopped to help someone in need during a storm, so touching the tears are falling as I listen…😢💔
💔
This was my best friend’s Daddy/daughter wedding dance song.
I remember my Daddy spanking me 1 time.. and it was for something my sister had done.. my sister confessed to it and my Daddy came to me in tears and apologizing to me .. I was like 7 yrs old.. my Daddy never laid a hand to me again.. and when I say a spanking.. it was 3 slaps on my bottom.. it wasn't abuse.. today's world is so ridiculous to me. I've raised 5 children.. the youngest is now 24.. the oldest 37.. I'm not gonna lie.. they got some spankings.. but they are all doing great today.. I don't think they were damaged
Unfortunately, Holly passed away in 2016 after retiring in 2003. A victim of Ovarian Cancer, gone too soon. RIP Holly.
Check out some of her other great songs like "Only When I Love" or "No One Takes the Train Anymore."

One of Holly's most powerful songs is "When No Place Is Home". It is almost too painful to listen too. Should have been used like a UNICEF fund raiser or for another charity like Feed The Children. She had a couple of great Duet's "A Face In The Crowd" with Michael Martin Murphy which was nominated for a Grammy. One of her 3 Grammy Nominations. The other was "Maybe" with Kenny Rogers. Holly's song "If Your Heart Can't Do The Talking" from 1992 I still believe was a huge influence on the original version of Shania Twain's "If Your Not In It For Love (I'm Outta Here) a couple 3 years later.
This may or not matter to anyone but... If you have one or both of your parents still here on this earth. Let em know that you love em regardless of how they may have been in the past, because once they're gone... Ya can't go back and change it. I lost my Mama on my oldest son's birthday in 2017, a brother in February of 2018 and then my Dad on my youngest son's birthday. A year and 23 days apart from the passing of my parents. They left this world at the moment they were supposed to but I let both of em know that I love em to the best of my ability. Forgiveness is often hard but it can happen. Just allow yourself to do it.
Go Dawgs!!!!
I truly hope that your parents are willing to watch your videos so they can share in your kind spirit. Its hard for me not to see my daughters in your reacting to th 70s music I grew up with, keep trying
Try Paul Overstreet, Seeing My Father In Me.
This song just tears me up, every time I hear it. My Daddy died 3 months after I turned 18.
Now, please check out Reba McEntire's, "The Greastest Man I Never Knew". I promise it will get you in the feels.
Love that song. Wish it wasn't raining in your studio, though...
Donna Fargo does a song “Daddy Dumpling “. That I love
Kind suggestion:
"To Daddy" by Emmylou Harris written by Auntie Dolly
The Emmylou Harris song I'm still waiting for someone to react to is "Beaneath Still Waters".
Another good one.
I also don’t have a close relationship with my father. I love him because he’s my dad
This song played at my late uncles funeral this year
She was way better lookin than that hair & makeup she's got going on there.... Check out her Austin City Limits show. She died way 2 soon
Go Dawgs God Bless Britt Great Video
Sic em!!
I'm not a subscriber since I am a bit choosy in the music I listen to. That said, I think you are a truly beautiful lady (in ALL facets) and you always seem to come easily to the emotional meaning of the music you react to. I try to make it a point to catch your reactions when you take up my favorite artists/songs for that very reason. Keep goin'..
Now you need to listen to Grandma's Hands by Bill Withers. He was raised by his grandma in Beckley, WV.
Go dawgs love you
Proverbs 13:24
👍
Love your channel! Think about reacting to Letters to Elise by The Cure.
Hi i would love for you to react too Carl Smith ( Hey Joe ) it's an old live colorized video version from 1968.
Mary Chapin Carpenter almost home... That would be a good listen for
you.
Kathy Mattea - "Where've You Been?"
I’ll check it out
Have you reacted to Faith Hill's "The Greatest Man I Never Knew". It is another sweet song that I think you'd appreciate.
I thought that was Reba's Song.
That is Reba McEntire.
@@beappleby You are right. Thank you.
@@donfritzke4506 You are right. Thanks.
Nice Georgia hat
Go dawgs 🐶
You need to listen to reba McIntyre do "the greatest man i never knew"
Another cute one is Rodney Atkins I've Been Watchin You.

She is from San Antonio and died due to heart attack
If you want a country laugh, check out anything by Jerry Clower.
Britt, love your channel. Please listen to BETTER THINGS, by The Kinks.
On November 14, 2016, Dunn died of ovarian cancer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at age 59. No, Holly Dunn and Ronnie Dunn are not related.
Luke combs Remember him that way
I feel sorry for you that you didn't get love from home. Do better, I have the feeling that you are a good mother.i love your Videos ,
This reminds me of my dad whose passed away. He quit spanking me at age 9 when he broke a wood chopping board on my rear end after one hit. He broke out laughing and did spank me no more as he realize a disappointed look from him was worse then a spanking to me.
This makes me sad because I did'nt get to raise my girls due to a marriage that failed. My biggest regret.
I didn’t know she had passed away
I miss my daddy. I was a teen in the 80’s and my daddy spanked me out of love. Trust me I needed it. I have ADHD/bipolar but back then I was just wild
I’m sorry you didn’t have that, missing out on it shows.
This could be written for my Dsd. Except he didn't spank his daughters just my brothers.
Do you have a Facebook account or is there someone pretending to be you using your pictures and a fake account???
