He was so not given the credit and exposure he deserved. One of the best singer/songwriters ever. I heard this song years ago and have never forgotten it. I love the song and this video is heartwrenching but I know what it feels like.
Mark Gray has more talent in his little finger than most artist has or will ever have.He is a friend of mine and have written songs with him.His voice is full of passion and his range is unbelievable.God Bless you Mark and Janice.I love you both.
Miss Mark everyday Ex Bandmate ( Exile) said it Beautifuly- " Today we lost a Brother & a Friend . God Rest our Brother and friend Mark Gray 🕇🌷🎹🎙🕊💕 Mark your music & you will never be forgotten.
Hello from Oklahoma! I was 25 years old when this song came out. I had been working in Canada and then moved back to Nebraska. I left a good women in Canada. This song holds a special place in my heart. I'm 60 now. Glad I found it on Utube. It still brings a flood of memories from a life time ago. Thanks for the video! God Bless!
I have never forgotten this song. I love to listen to it every now and then when I am feeling a little meloncholy and sad and missing what should have been the greatest love of my life.
This brings back so many memories, good and bad. Every time I watch it I just cry. Rest in peace Mark Gray. A talent like yours won't been seen for a long time, if ever.....
It still brings back tears as it did back when I was first heard it in a bar somewhere in the Arizona desert, back in the '80s. That's when country was country.
One of best Country Music videos ever produced. Thank you so much for posting this lost classic Mark Gray video, back when Country Music Television was all about the music and I watched almost everyday.
This was up for the award of “best music video of the year “and it lost to the “all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight “by Hank Williams Junior. I always thought that Mark Gray should have one as his video was so much better and so much meaningful.
Awesome song remember it well it's great a band played in a bar I worked at in the late 80s they played it well not like Mark Gray but I've always loved his song brings back a lot of memories and a few tears love the video thanks Mark Gray for a beautiful song !
wow i cant believe i found this after all these years. this was "our song". Thanks so much for posting this. It brings back so many memories for an old woman.
Heard this song back in the 80,s & it stuck with me ever since.Just found it on youtube & it brought tears to my eyes Great video,great song,great Man and Great talent. May God bless his soul.
My favorite singer from the 80's who helped a young man stay grounded. I suffered a brain trauma 2 years ago and have alot of gaps in my memory but hearing these songs jog alot emotion. I accepted Jesus the Great Physician. I heard he too had accepted Jesus and still tours. It would be great to hear him again.
I knew Mark . I thought he was talented. I am from Vicksburg Ms. and he came into the restaurant and lounge My Mom and sister worked at . The Beechwood, he always said best steaks in the state
I haven't seen this video since it first aired on CMT in the mid 1980's. I had just taken my discharge from the Marine Corps. I never forgot this video or this song but have not been able to locate it - until now. Thank you.
Great Video! Brings back lots of Memories. One of my favorite Artists in the 1980's. I saw Mark 6 times over the years in Concert. What a great Singer/Songwriter/Pianist/ and Performer. His shows were always full of energy and he always had a top notch Band backing him. After the shows he was very friendly and signed autographs for his Fans. I really hope that Mark Tours Again one day. One of the very best Artists in Country Music ever. If you read this Mark... Keep On Rockin' Brother! Thanks for sharing the Video CaleraVoter.....
Got to know Mark a few years ago , spent some time with him , my son sang with him , miss him , so sorry he's gone , Helleva artist and song writer ...
Never really got to meet him in person but I did get a chance to talk to him once via his TH-cam. I told him how much that song haunted in a good way for years. Well that and this old piano I remember he said thank you. He seemed like a nice guy and I love the music.
This is just so neat to see this again. I bought a satellite dish back in 1984 lived way out in the country the dish was as big as my house and cost $3000. financed it for 5 years.This was one of the first videos i ever saw on a country station on dish. I thought it was just so good. Thanx for posting it. It has been almost 30 years.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I remember watching it way back when it first came out. I never thought I'd see it again. This song is so powerful, and it really speaks to me. What an awesome songwriter, and singer! As a songwriter myself I've always said nobody can sell a song like the one who owns it! Great job Mark!
This one takes me back to the late 80's...when "new traditionalism" was more than a buzz phrase. It was such a risk they took with this "film, short form"...but in an era when country videos were bland, this really shook up CMT for the better.
Had the pleasure of meeting him and hanging out with his guitar player some in the mid 80's. Great guy, I've wondered often what happened to him, I thought he had one, if not the best voices in country music.
so glad you found this . they don't make em any more like this. when I sang in the clubs and joints, I would do this song every nite. great song, great video
Such regrets to the one I left Joe Frank in Grand Prairie TX in the late 80's this was your song to me. Wish I could take it back and want you to know I'm sorry and I made a mistake and still love you no taking back now; just wanted you to know
I've always loved this video. This is from back in the day that CMT was called Country Music television and they actually played videos. Bad acting not withstanding, there is a feel about this video that touches a nerve. So... what ever happened to Mark Grey?
I agree!! I love his voice...I would dearly love to have a CD of Magic. I can't find one anywhere... I have an old cassette but I have worn it out...:-(
Thought I'd never see this again old Video of Mark Gray which is in real life a very good piano player and was one of my favorite male Country vocalist but since his recording duo with Tammy Wynette was the last time I heard anything from him does anyone know what happened to him on the music scene thx for posting this
Catchy tune and great video….love it…does anyone know what happened to the actress in this video Jennifer Mayo???….I’ve looked everywhere and unfortunately can’t find anything on her…great clip though!!
@@latoyalackeyministries This song and excellent video was released back in the 1980's. That is also when Bob Dylan's "Jokerman" video hit MTV as well. We are, yes, talking "history-making" stuff. Geeez, why don't today's 'young'-folks get that?

I remember when this song released. I wish we still had real country music to listen to but we don't. God Bless You Mark and family.

Thank You Mark Gray for this song.
by feelings 35 years ago, still today, right to the heart
I produced this video. It's one of my favorites. The Director Jack Cole died a couple of months ago.
I am the girl in the video😊
@@jengagirl1 Are you mute, in real life? Please say. Thanks!
Hello Paul
I’m the mute girl in the video. It was Dan Halperin that brought me in. Very cool memory. Hope your doing well😊
Probably the very best video ever made to go with a terrific song and a very talented singer. Had not seen this in over 30 years...
This song just rips my heart out every time I hear it or see the video.
I knew Mark . I thought he was talented. I am from Vicksburg Ms. and he came into the restaurant and lounge My Mom and sister worked at . The Beechwood, he always said best steaks in the state
This is a small miracle. Hadn't seen it in 30 years, and still takes my breath away.
Heard this song over 30 years ago one night after working 4-12 shift. Never forgot it. And today I found it again- Thanks- It is beautiful
I love this song and video. Takes me back to 1987 and 88 when i first heard this song and requested it every time i was in the smoky old bar room.
Classic! As good as it gets for a country music video. I remember when it first came out!
I haven't seen this video since it first aired on CMT in the mid 1980's. I had just taken my discharge from the Marine Corps. I never forgot this video or this song but have not been able to locate it - until now. Thank you.

@@kalicokids thank I'll check it out.
Great song , great performer. Always loved this song.
have been in love with this song since I was a kid
i went to school with his family and met him once, he helped ALABAMA make it writing their songs and he could really perform, good man
Lucky you brother
I have to say, this is the best video I have ever seen that actually matches the song.
Thanks ever so much for posting this video , it's been one of my favorites since I first saw this back in the 80's on Country Music TV
I have always remembered this song and the video. This was pure greatness. Thank you, it was great to see it again.

My daddy loved this.
Country, classic R&B, soft rock, real talent!
This one takes me back to the late 80's...when "new traditionalism" was more than a buzz phrase. It was such a risk they took with this "film, short form"...but in an era when country videos were bland, this really shook up CMT for the better.
Great tune. I think of it from time to time and listen. I remember it best on CMT
Been looking for this for ages!! Brings back really great memories. Thanks!

davidqtn Yeah this video touches deep. Whoever gave a thumbs down on this video needs medical attention.
Same here. I used to watch this video with ole Dad in the living room, 1984. lol
@@fpicc8807 We lost Mark to Leukemia Dec 2 2016 . He was 64 . Miss him everyday 🎙🎹🕇🌷🕊💕
I agree!! I love his voice...I would dearly love to have a CD of Magic. I can't find one anywhere... I have an old cassette but I have worn it out...:-(
June Humble try Amazon
wow
Hard to believe they had to use a car-roarin' sound effect in it.
❤❤❤❤
Whatever happened to Mark Gray? He had such an amazing, soulful voice.
He only writes gospel music now....He does no recording at all. I think he live is California.
tazman1946 thank you for the update, glad he's still writing. He is very talented.
Wish they would get someone to do it on the voice
Thought I'd never see this again old Video of Mark Gray which is in real life a very good piano player and was one of my favorite male Country vocalist but since his recording duo with Tammy Wynette was the last time I heard anything from him does anyone know what happened to him on the music scene thx for posting this

Crief too many times

Hopefully, Mark quit smokin', after he made the vid.
reminds me of my Xwife lol
great song..but 9minute video?..geeez
Oh, don't even! One of the best music videos ever made!!
That video was the first “mini movie” video at the time. History making in the days of music videos.

Lead in is too damn long Almost quit before song
