Unfortunately, most local stations have been put in a straitjacket by their corporate owners who dictate what they can and cannot play. It’s all about ratings and pushing only the big names who play country rock and rap. My local station CAT Country 98.7 has won “Radio Station of the Year” multiple times and they told me over the phone that they are only allowed to play certain artists on their station. So sad! 😢
@@mrbilllollar Unfortunately that is how radio nowadays is.There's so many talented performers like The French Family Band that mainstream radio just hasn't played Yet.I think that if there is enough excitement about them in Nashville and they start touring in different parts of the country that it may change things .
I know ill never see Nashville..life in Illinois and Wisconsin is all I will ever see in life..sad but true..my family and I lost our stepdad a year and a half ago.and life hasn't been the same. I thank God for the french family band for making amazing music that always lifts my spirit when im feeling down.thank you for your beautiful music 🎶
I couldn't hold back the tears. Such a powerful inspiration for hopes and dreams being fulfilled in this very special video. I'm super duper proud of you, French Band members: I've watched your ascent ...As Aussies Nashville bent ... With all three of you naturally gifted ...This ol' heart has been lifted; Stay humble as you are ...your gift will take you far ...Remember your modest roots ...But buy the best expensive boots!
@Tim, before I read your comment I was going to tell the French Family what you told them but you said it better...."Stay humble, remember your roots." We know what Fame, Fortune and Future will do to the most important people in our lives. May I tell the The French Family that family is first, so your marriage is absolutely TOP priority now more than ever. Stay faithful to each other! Don't cheat, and RUN from any man or woman who gets too friendly with you. Young man, stay clean and keep setting good examples for the youth of the world. Nashville is a jungle and the French Family must be in a survival mode every minute of every day. Recording contracts aren't as important as the existing contracts of marriage and family.
A wonderful song beautifully sung by Sonny. Being able to sing at the Grand Old Opry was a fantastic accomplishment made even better by getting a standing ovation from the Opry audience! I am hoping this is just the first of many more Opry appearances by the French Family Band!
@@Dallas-Nyberg I saw almost all her Melbourne concerts, except the one when she hosted BJ Shaver. I also have some recordings of her shows, for my use only.
I got to be here this night and witnessed this magic! It was so awesome to witness their dream come true. Each time I visit the Opry, something special happens and this visit was extra special! The story behind the song is so special and the song was beautifully written and performed! The French Family Band has fans for life and I can't wait to see them again. Magical!
As a kid in New Zealand I used to see Camille sing at our family reunions. Now she's moved on to bigger and better things I'll probably never get to see her again, but seeing these videos makes me so proud
This moment didn't happen overnight. They have put in a lot of time towards this dream. I kept an eye on them before they moved to the states. Congratulations!!!!
I've been following the French Family online shows for a couple of years. It's great to see them recognized at the Opry. It's even greater seeing Sonny getting that standing O.
Wow. All about this fantastic performance has been said in about 73 comments... and Sonny: great hair too..! At 3.44.... there is happening something very special and emotional. Wonderful moment
I know mom and dad are so proud of you Sonny as well as they should. I can’t stop listening to the song, the words, and the meaning of them. Your grandpa is jumping up and down in heaven for you. And someone who has been watching all of you for I don’t how long could not be more proud of you too. Keep that good music coming. 😊❤️👍
I knew that was a special song, the first time I heard you all sing it on your YT channel from your home studio! And now a standing ovation at the Oprey 🎉! So happy for you all, and so deserved. 🇨🇦
congratulations but you're cool it's so nice to hear you what a nice and warm family super I've been watching you for several years and I've long since confirmed that you are the best😘😘👋👋👋
Absolutely beautiful and a dream come true. I believe this will be the family that brings country back to Nashville. Whatever you do, don’t let Nashville take the country out of you!
This is awesome and great composer!!! Excellent. Miss the jam nights never catch them live but when i see it on here i play it while i fix dinner and it’s always a great time.
I HAVE WATCHED YOU VLOGS FOR A LONG TIME AND NOW THIS SONG, NASHVILLE BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. WHAT A SONG THAT HAS A MIRACLE IN IT ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY'S HISTORY! I DID CTY, SUCH A MOVING SONG. SOUTHERNERS LOVE SAD SONGS WITH GREAT ENDINGS...AND NOW Y'ALL ARE JUST BEGINNING FOR SURE. GOD BLESS AND GODSPEED.
I’ve been listening all during the pandemic. Y’all are wonderful! Thanks for giving me hours of entertainment. I hope they ask y’all to join up very soon. Your son, if he stays clean, has a bright future. God bless y’all.
As a musician and have always only sang songs that I could feel in my heart, it is so refreshing to hear a such a young artist sing with such heart that it brings tears. I can see the glow of this family as your dreams come true. Sonny, you are a pleasure to listen to. Actually the whole family.
Congratulations to the French family. Truly a dream come true. So nice to see you on this stage. When I was a little girl about 40 years ago, while driving home from my grandparents, we would get the Grand old Opry on the radio. We couldn’t get it in the house at home but in the truck it seemed we were able to. And I remember that my earliest memories were country music and I love it to this day.
Congratulations on your Opry debut!! I absolutely love listening to this amazing family band!! Such great musicians and singers!! So glad you made it to the Opry!! It was a stellar performance!! God Bless and may you enjoy continued success in the music industry!! I see great things coming your way in the future!! It was indeed a "GRAND" performance!! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! Great story great song! Sonny is still pitch perfect and he so deserves to be on that stage as does the whole family. I’m a lifetime fan and can listen for hours! So glad the audience responded as they did!! God bless you all!!
Stuie is incredible with his fingers...None better. Sonny great voice for years..I hope his age doesn't ruin it. Mom is the best with songs with meaning.. her voice is so pure and strong.
Everybody should call their local country stations and ask them to play this.If they don't have it,let them know where they can get it.

Beautiful. If anyone belongs at the OPRY it's y'all. French Family Band is OPRY-level quality. Well-deserved standing ovation.
I know ill never see Nashville..life in Illinois and Wisconsin is all I will ever see in life..sad but true..my family and I lost our stepdad a year and a half ago.and life hasn't been the same. I thank God for the french family band for making amazing music that always lifts my spirit when im feeling down.thank you for your beautiful music 🎶
Thank you so much for showing how is made the REAL AMERICAN COUNTRY MUSIC for the americans!
Proper music.

@@Dallas-Nyberg I saw almost all her Melbourne concerts, except the one when she hosted BJ Shaver. I also have some recordings of her shows, for my use only.
Wonderful great moment in time, I am not surprised that you sang this song. Like Tennessee Ernie Ford used to say, "God Bless your pea picking Heart".
Everyone’s dream. You deserve it 👍👍

Appears you are a member of the singing Chambers family from Australia. Am I right?
@@jayjaynella4539 No. I was born and raised in Southwest Louisiana here in United States. I now am retired and live in New Mexico.
