@@Dulcimerist My "nasty" aunt used to tease me all the time about Janie.. but I don't care, she's an idiot, and I LIKE listening to Janie Fricke!! Saw her in concert at the st. fair in ny Judy Rdman was a background vocalist who Janie let sing 2 songs.

I'm playing this song in honour of my doggie "Charly" (yes where she got her name from) wo passed away 23 April 2022. This was her favourite song. As well as Sentimental 'Ol you and Paradise Tonight. She also liked a few other songs (not Charly's) which were "If You're Reading This"- Tim McGraw and "Dirt Road Anthem"- Jason Aldean. She would howl to these last two songs. R.I.P Doggie Charly.. Miss you!!!!
I just watched an episode of the 70's/80's t.v. show "Hart to Hart" entitled "Rhinestone Harts". Charly was the guest star (her character was The Rhinestone Cowgirl). I decided to look up some of her videos and I'm glad I did! :) IMO classic country music is the best country music.
I used to be sooooo in love with Charly McClain. She had the hottest eyes and the sexiest voice. Indeed, she had that 18 year old boy smitten back then and now I'm older that she was when she cut this song. Wow, time has wings!
Thx. I was smelling cow manure, confusing skunks w/ weed, trippin on whos car smells funky, & being pissed at somebody riding my ass. Dis dat country side. .. Pretend like ur smart at least, & back the f up 😤✋. Also, I really thought this was dolly Parton. Heard this on the radio today
On this day in 1981 {February 8th} "Who's Cheatin' Who" by Charly McClain peaked at #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart... "Who's Cheatin' Who" reached #2 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart... Between 1976 and 1989 the Memphis, Tennessee native had thirty-nine records on the Hot Country Singles chart, fourteen* made the Top 10 with three reaching #1, the above "Who's Cheatin' Who", "Paradise Tonight" {with Mickey Gilley} for one week in October of 1983, and "Radio Heart" for one week in May of 1985... Eight of her thirty-nine charted records were duets, four with Wayne Massey {her husband}, three with Mickey Gilley, and one with Johnny Rodriguez... Charly McClain, born Charlotte Denise McClain, will celebrate her 65th birthday next month on March 26th, 2021... * She just missed having a fifteenth Top 10 record when her "When A Love Ain't Right" peaked at #11 in 1979 And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the remainder of the Hot Country Singles' Top 10 on February 8th, 1981: At #2.

"Any Which Way You Can" by Glen Campbell
my band opened for her in a string of state and county fairs in the Midwest back in the early 80s along with another band called Razorback. It was the Miller Lite tour, man did we drink a lot of beer on that tour! She was a hottie for sure but not so social with the musicians after the gigs. guess I don't blame her now that I think about it!
We saw her open for The Oak Ridge boys in Blue Island Illinois at a dirt race track on the late seventies. The first concert i went to on a date. She was wearing Lycra Pants and looked real good.
She is not a tall lady,somewhere around 5'.She never really wanted to be a star but I for one am glad that she shared her beautiful voice with us for at least a little while.
I am trying to make more people aware of her wonderful talent. It is difficult to imagine how someone like her could not be fully appreciated. Refer to "Men" video.
Her voice was clearer in the 1987 video, but the fact that her voice in this 1982 performance is slightly hoarse makes the song sound even more countryfied.
actually Alan Jackson had to buy the rights to do this song...since she wrote it. Notice he didn't change one lyric,..one word,..one medody. :) Being her sis,....I know pretty much. Love ya Char
Everywhere you look, you can write a book On the trouble with a woman and a man But you cannot impose, you can't stick your nose Into somethin' that you don't understand Still you wonder, who's cheatin' who And who's bein' true? Who don't even care anymore? It makes you wonder who's doin' right by someone tonight And whose car is parked next door? I thought I knew him well, I really couldn't tell That he had another lover on his mind You see, it felt so right when he held me tight How could I be so blind? But still you wonder, who's cheatin' who And who's bein' true? Who don't even care anymore? It makes you wonder who's doin' right by someone tonight And whose car is parked next door? A heart is on the line each and every time Love is stolen in the shadows of the night Though it's wrong all along, it keeps goin' on As long as they keep out of sight But still you wonder, who's cheatin' who And who's bein' true?

@simwrangler I agree - it was written more for a woman than it was a man in my opinion - Alan's version wasn't bad - it just didn't really seem to fit his style.
Hey (sister?) Wanda Wright, this song was written by Jerry Hayes, and no, you don't have to buy the rights to record any song; just pay royalties to the writer.
Anyone know if she is still performing, she sure was a cutie. I enjoyed her voice, wish we had more like her. Wonder if she is till married to Dwayne and eats Lucks beans ha ha
I wrote a song called "You're A Rainbow I'm The Rain" about having a soul mate who really loves you; and is sweet, kind and forgiving. But you, on the other hand, are unfaithful, angry, jealous, inconsiderate and nasty and she/he still loves you! (Go figure!)
@podline66 my mind is open to those things in Life that matter. Perhaps you should read the lyrics. "I wonder who's cheating who, who's being true bla, bla, bla. The song asks questions no one is asking. It's a stupid song. I don't spend my time wondering who is having an affair. Get a Life.
They (Charly and Alan) both sound gr-r-r-reat! The only thing AJ should have done is changed the words to "You see it fealt so right when I held her tight" to make it more for a man.
While I enjoy the original version, Alan Jackson's version is much better, especially the guitar and piano solos. AJ rendition sounds richer and has more blues in it. Just my personal taste, of course.
Thats my dad Don Marrs playin drums. Woo!
oh wow tell him thanks from a frustated non drummer( who can only play in my mind) what a special talent that never got the recogination she deserved
thats awesome!
welcome
Sweet! Bet he has a ton of great stories from touring!
Any
She is way better than 95% of the singers that came after her.
100%
Agree!
I loved Charly when I was a little girl,my favorite country singers were Crystal,Sylvia and Charly.I still listen to all of them now.
I loved them, too! Janie Fricke was my absolute favorite.

I'm watching that episode Dec 26,2019.I couldn't remember her songs so I looked them up.
"Paradise Tonight" was the one I remembered most. I listened to a ton of country radio in 1983 when I was 8 years old while playing with my Legos.
I love this song and her voice
I used to be sooooo in love with Charly McClain. She had the hottest eyes and the sexiest voice. Indeed, she had that 18 year old boy smitten back then and now I'm older that she was when she cut this song. Wow, time has wings!
another one of favorites . wished they had her music around now a days.
great singer wish she was still touring would love to see her bet she can still sing
I was listening to her on the country station while milking the cows. She is so beautiful.
How do you even have a phone? There is no service over there! 😏

I couldn't agree more!I get ticked how so many people think this song is an Alan Jackson original.
She did good I love both versions Charley McClain and Alan Jackson. I wish they can do this cover song as a duet together. :)
I can remember driving to high school and hearing her version of “Band of gold” on the local AM station. Somehow I knew it was going to be a good day❤
This is country! Awesome!
Beautiful woman and singer
Now this rocks a jukebox!
love country charlie McCain
good song heard it in 80 cant remember
An oldie I remember well. I was about 14 when this came out.
I agree fantastic talent!
My gf loves her voice great singer
I was 11 back then... and already knew she was smoking hot.
I agree 100%,simwrangler!Most of today's so-called country fans didn't even know Charly McClain had a hit with this first!
This is rock ‘n roll. Go, Charly!
love this song..still have her albums
She is not a tall lady,somewhere around 5'.She never really wanted to be a star but I for one am glad that she shared her beautiful voice with us for at least a little while.
First concert I remember going to. Mid south fair rodeo. Hers and my home town
i just found my record of this had to see it it was on here.. love this song.
i was in middle school when this came out, i never figured out what happened to her.
Wouldn't it be trippy if she moved in next door to you?
All that sound coming out of that tiny little frame. Damn.
Wish she can come and a new album. Miss you
Saw her with Kenny Rogers back in early 80's. Was a really good show!
Nice spirited song! I think who is on first! Anyway, always liked Charly McClain!
the title here helped me find the song. :) thanks for the oops!!
I am trying to make more people aware of her wonderful talent. It is difficult to imagine how someone like her could not be fully appreciated. Refer to "Men" video.
Love this thank you
Got to see her in concert
Awesome
excellent
thank you

Tell Charly we all miss her. What an amazing talent she is.
Your sister is one of the greatest female country singers of all time.
why would he have to buy the rights to sing it? he would only have had to pay her royalties since he didnt change any of the words......
Amazing because Jerry Hayes wrote the song
What ever happened to char
I'd love to See a mashup of Ms charleys song and Alan Jacksons version
Charly’s song --- covered by Alan Jackson--“Who’s Cheating Who.”
Sentimental O l You is still my favorite
That one tears me up.
I love that one, too. "Paradise Tonight" is my favorite. I listened to a lot of country radio around 1983 when I was a kid playing with my Legos.
Saw her at Fort Sill in 82 classy lady
Alan Jackson version has nothing on this gal.
Dana,You're right. Alan does much better than charly.
@@jenniferdijames1671 you're crazy!! Charly is much better!!
@HistoryKrell I agree. Nevr heard of her until recently. Luv her voice.
Everywhere you look, you can write a book
On the trouble with a woman and a man
But you cannot impose, you can't stick your nose
Into somethin' that you don't understand
Still you wonder, who's cheatin' who
And who's bein' true? Who don't even care anymore?
It makes you wonder who's doin' right by someone tonight
And whose car is parked next door?
I thought I knew him well, I really couldn't tell
That he had another lover on his mind
You see, it felt so right when he held me tight
How could I be so blind?
But still you wonder, who's cheatin' who
And who's bein' true? Who don't even care anymore?
It makes you wonder who's doin' right by someone tonight
And whose car is parked next door?
A heart is on the line each and every time
Love is stolen in the shadows of the night
Though it's wrong all along, it keeps goin' on
As long as they keep out of sight
But still you wonder, who's cheatin' who
And who's bein' true? Who don't even care anymore?
It makes you wonder who's doin' right by someone tonight
And whose car is parked next door?

Great comment! I was just thinking about those old Lucks commercials yesterday.
Hey (sister?) Wanda Wright, this song was written by Jerry Hayes, and no, you don't have to buy the rights to record any song; just pay royalties to the writer.
Not to mention he changed the lyrics slightly to a male prespective.
Anyone know if she is still performing, she sure was a cutie. I enjoyed her voice, wish we had more like her. Wonder if she is till married to Dwayne and eats Lucks beans ha ha
She is still with her husband, Wayne Massey.
Taylor Smith has the talent that matches that. My dog can sing also. But at least the dog is cute when she tries.
Always wanted to hear Shania cover this.
Made a mistake on title of video. Nothing I can do to correct it now.
No problem. Most people will probably search for that name, too.
Yeah you keep one at home. And one at the old hotel on the second floor somewhere. Lol.
Prefer this to the studio version :)
Tell me that Sunny Sweeney doesn't make you think.of this little honey, vocally?
What happened to Charly McClain?
who are the band memebers
Its seems to be playing a bit fast, at least it does to me.
I like her version over AlanJackson version
Are those two guys in front that tall or is she that short?

love the original! but alans version is just as good!!
Alan Jackson was a good performer, but nowhere as talented as the country performers of the 1940's through the 1970's.
Calm down, Jim. Go take a cold shower.
love this version unlike that fraud alan Jackson
