- Stevie Nicks and I have one thing in common: her granddad sang this song to her when she was a little girl, and my daddy sang it to me when I was a little boy. Stevie looks and sounds so good it is hard to believe she is 60 years old. Thanks to Biography channel and Chris Isaak for capturing this history of a fascinating woman, for the high production standard of this show, and for the many repeat telecasts that provide greater opportunity to watch.
Stevie Nicks is beyond wonderful. Stevie is even more impressive when you know a part of her life she doesn't advertise which is the countless hours she visits wounded veterans, mostly amputees. She talks to them for hours. What a brave and admirable person.
Whixh she sings about in her album recording and live performances of Soldier's Angel! Beautiful music!❤
When I was in the first grade in Hall No. 1 in Sargent County, North Dakota, all 8 grades would sing this beautiful song
I have never forgotten it
Much later I had a small gallery in NYC I returned home one night and found that the stopper in the bathtub had fallen flooding the tub
A beautiful little kitten had fallen into the tub and drowned I was just horrified
It was the last straw on a miserable day where I had already learned that a dear friend was dying
The next day for some reason I got off on the train not thinking what I should do
I sat on a bench seriously ready to whatever somethìng to myself
A beautiful young woman sitting next to me with her guitar suddenly stood up and started singing Red River Valley in this pure strong voice
That was 20 years ago and I will never forget it
My mom used to sing this to us when I was a kid. Before TV, and after we were all tucked into bed, she would sit in her rocker and sing us to sleep. Beautiful memory.
you fox
what about the french verses?" … Dans le soleil dit 'bonjour' a la montagne… Dans le soleil descende a la montagne."...?
@@supernewf66 Yes ...I read somewhere that this song was written by a Metis woman {French-Canadian and Cree Indian}. Not about Texas at all but about the Red River of the North? Who knows?
That is very cool.
@@xanbex8324 The Red River (880 km long) begins at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers at the border between Minnesota and North Dakota. It then flows north through southern Manitoba and into Lake Winnipeg. The last 175 km of the Red River, the portion located in Manitoba, is designated as a Canadian Heritage River due to its cultural and historical value...... but I don't know either.... just happy to find this little gem.
I am in tears hearing this lovely and meaningful song. It's one of the oldest love song. My father used to sing and i am deeply in love with this song.
Chris never takes his eyes off Stevie's mouth and effortlessly sings but, even though he's the star induces her to be the lead and he the follower. The mark of a true star, like for example, Emmylou Harris.
What a duo. My favorite rendition of this song.
It's obvious that Stevie loves this song from her heart and singing with immense intimacy, no wonder she looks young to her age. The music itself is mentally relaxing, so her attitudes does.. Her mind is in peaceful states most of the time. My dad used to whistle this music and such music, very peaceful, kind and generous man.
Linda letra linda música tudo de bom...
stevie nicks has one of the most instantly recognizable voices of all time...whether you like it or hate it. i've always been a fan and when i saw this performance live, i loved it. yes, her voice is harsh these days, but thats what years of singing, smoking, boozing, and just living will get you. her voice is harsh, but still she sounds great and its great to know that such a great singer is willing to perform such a great song. most 'artists' today favor only their own songs.
😂
I had never heard Stevie Nicks sing. This is so amazing! Her voice is direct, honest and filled with the pain of love and sung from the heart. It's a bit like Paulette Carlson of Highiway 101. And to think she's belting this out at 60 years old..simply a masterful job of singing Red River Valley. I'm 76 yrs old and mostly a fan of early music. But I will give other forms of music a listen now and then. As a performer myself, I know 'good' when I hear it, and this is very very good. I'll have to look for more of Stevie Nicks now.
@micebones7544 Thanks for mentioning Paulette Carlson. I'm 83, and she was my favorite. I was sad when she retired from Highway 101. Ironically, I was an audience pick on Nashville Now and got to speak through the PA to her successor Nicky. In the same vein, I loved Anita Cochran's ballads. If you didn't know her work, here is my favorite: th-cam.com/video/kGmWc0Ymisw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=q2wzbc0t64ewzo2T
@@SidsCardShop I did watch that video of Anita Cochran. Very nice singer for sure. utube is a joy for those of us who are basically shut-ins.
@@micebones7544 Indeed! My mind keeps wondering what is wrong with my body! 🙂
@@SidsCardShop I say all the time "I used to be awesome, and this is all that's left".
I was writing a long comentary but I made something wrong and It vanished! But I Just wanna say that u americans are Very beautyful due this song and other things ! Forget government . They R ALL corrupt !Forgive my poor english . Greetengs from Brazil 🇺🇸🇧🇷
Stevie Nicks is awesome! She was awesome 40 years ago... she's still awesome.
+Lalo Lalouziane I remember when she recorded Don't Drag My heart around with Petty, his only request was "know the words'....she was awesome in the beginning, ain't nothing changed
Steven, That's funny. She really is awesome, then and now. Funny that Petty made that request of her.
your fine yourselve
She is 60 here...
Ronald Feedback Stevie was born in 1948 so she would have been 70 at the time, right?
what a tremendous duet, I listen to this often.
Been tuning in to this for the last 9 yrs.. Never gets old.
Today, august 19, 2022, I discover Stevie Nicks's voice; this voice is very great for this song. Best wishes from France (Europe). Jo
jo luttringer: Best wishes from Texas, Jo!
My Mom used to rock us to sleep with that song and now I rock my kids to this song. This is the best version ever- so talented.
I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY DURING WORLD WAR II.IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN PLANTED IN ME.VERY EMOTIONAL.
same with me. cannot get enough of it
Anthony Funigiello I've been pklaying it daily ever since I heard them sing this for the first time.
Thank you for serving sir
Bless you ❤️
This was my dad's favorite song I am sure he is in heaven enjoying it
Sheryl Coblentz I'm sure that he is. May God bless you.
What a beautiful and respectful rendition of this classic from America's songbook!
GeorgeRPope Yes!!!
It's like a miracle, nobody knows for sure who wrote it and when still so many generations enjoyed it.
Just love Stevie Nicks vocal and the gentleman Chris Isaak. Awesome........
i am 70 years old,I have herd many do this song,this is the best,guess some people don't dance,or know music,sad,missing something.
Make me homesick
LOVE IT SO MUCH. THANK YOU STEVIE NICKS & CHRIS ISAAK.
MY LORD, HOW BEAUTIFUL CAN A WOMAN BE.....
How beautiful can a man be.....
I'm not a big Stevie Nicks fan but I give credit where credit is due , she nails it here .
I love it
Your name is good for you, how could you not like her
@@paulfreelife4111 , so you like every singer ever ?
i’m sure there are some big names you are not crazy about .
@@tfe423 The goat lady
Stevie nicks voice is complimented with another singer. When she sings alone, I can’t stand it.
I enjoy hearing contemporary singers sing old hymns and folk songs from past centuries, and also popular songs from the late 1800s and early 1900s. There are many hundreds of lovely old songs from the past that I hope will be sung forever.
wow, never thought I would hear Ms Nicks sing Red River Valley - don't know but never put the two together, haha - LOVE IT !!!
2007reb Me either! It is really, really good.
+2007reb Me neither, she kicks all the "singers" out today
She can sing anything, and a new younger singer will be as good as her , Miley Cyrus!
My grandmother used to sing this to me, so it now has a special place in my heart
From a Texan who lives on the Red River valley, this is just outstanding.
Michael Sherwood: As a Texan who was mighty proud, as a child, when I first learned to play it on the harmonica - I agree with you!!!
SidsCardShop I too enjoyed my harpoon as a kid. Still have it.
Considering that the Red River in question is the one in Canada and the song dates to the time of the 1st Riel Rebellion, I'm glad you Texans like our Canadian music. Google the history of the song if you don't believe me.
stevie nicks sings this version the best ever
I think Stevie Nicks PROVES.....with this song and doing a Buddy Holly tribute, that she can and DOES.....sing ANY DAMN thing she wants. She is a class act.
If Stevie wants she can sing reggae music
Love Chris Isaac's voice.
He's got a Nice Voice that's true . but Stevie Nicks does It much better !! I dont know why , but this is Just my opinion
That song was always so beautiful. But it even better from Stevie Nicks. I cried throughout this. Thanks.
Oh my god
Two of the greatest voices ever. I am awestruck
1929modelagirl Oh, I agree. I am also "awestruck" as you say and I'm a 74 year old man.
I remember this old song when I was a little boy .I used to love it.
cant believe, just my fav male singer and my fav female singer singing my fav country song
Stevie & Chris, I am blown away. That was tremendous. I have never heard a more special recording of Red River Valley. It was my Pop's favorite song. He was a old country preacher. You would have liked him. He was special himself.
I will be re-listening to this and sharing. Thank you for this recording. It is an official favorite.
Take good care,
Jennifer Terry
A beautiful rendition of one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
Great Rendition of a beautiful song over a hundred Years Old. can remember My Parents singing along when it came on the radio over 60 Years ago. CHEERS.
i have always loved this song and this is the best rendition i have heard in my 60yrs
.not only stevie nicks but the excellent backing
Red River Valley is the most beautiful, unforgettable and melodic song ever. I love hearing it played on the harmonica.
This is a beautiful vocal interpretation of one of the greatest songs of all time. The instrumental bridging is also beautiful.
Yes
keep coming back and listening to this over and over every few weeks love it
Stevie Nicks can sing anything, she's one of my top 3 favorite female singer's all time. Beautiful voice and an all around Beautiful woman.
An inspired collaboration on a song that is a true piece of Americana. Wow...best version I've ever heard of this song.
Daniel Martine "best version I've ever heard of this song.". Amen to that.
Absolutely fantastic
superb singers and song,sung the way it should be. remember this song from my childhood, my father and his brothers singing it. Thanks so much for this great memory!
This was my dad's favorite song and he'd sing it to me when we would were in his old work truck. Watching this brought back a flood of memories of my late father. Thanks for posting it!
Paul
Thank you so much Stevie! I love your voice and all of your earlier songs. We country fans are overjoyed that you did this one. Thank my dear, dear Stevie.
Carter
My mom sang it to me. I sang it to both my children at bedtime. My daughter now does the same with her son. True to the original great rendition by Stevie and Chris.
Hello Emily… How are you doing?
As an Englishman . my favorite song , just love the ol western songs.this and darling clementine !
EddieParker this is one of the best songs you have ever done so awesome I love all you do wow amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🌹😊
This should be on a cd
I first heard this song many years ago, when someone very special sang it for me in the car!! Every time after when we were on a trip, I would ask him to sing it for me!! He has a great voice, fantastic memories!!!❤
This is just a great version of a classic American traditional song. Bravo, Ten Thumbs up. Couldn't be better, I love it.
Many versions. This is easily the best.
This is a classic video, Stevie Nicks and Chris Isaak., nothing better….I love him so much…
Wow, her voice, especially now, seems more suited to country-- sounds wonderful on this!
Stevie Nicks is still relevant in this world and always will be.
Glade to see some folks feel the same way I do. My mother sang this to me when I was very young.
My grandmother use to sing this us way back when...love it
My late Uncle used to play accordion and sing this song when I grew up (Late sixties/Early 70s) .
I believe it to be one of his absolute favorites
This was my Dad and my brothers favourite song sadly both no longer with us miss them both
Sorry for your loss, buddy. Sure is a mighty fine song - and a mighty fine version.
This woman (Fleetwood Mac) has the perfect voice for this contempory folk classic...I mean well when I say this. Her sidekick too, sounds ideal, to make for a perfect pair. This folk classic has so much more depth and meaning when you get the right artist(s) to tackle it. Red River Valley goes down in the history books along with other folk country classics like "You Are My Sunshine', "For Me & My Gal", "Don't Fence Me In" & "Rolling Down the River on a Sunday Afternoon" Thanks 4 postin'
Come and sit by my side if you love me ....deadly version very fond off both
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brothers and sisters...sang this all my life
Through...CLASSIC
Kerry Evand Are you there Kerry? Greetings from Vancouver, Canada.
The arrangement is PERFECT.
I remember my dad singing this. God Bless you, dad.
Must be the very best version of this evergreen... Love Stevie´s Haunting, Divine and Captivating Voice*
Grandisima canción. Estoy flotando. Esto llega al alma.
Stevie can sing a song like nobody else. Wonder if she knows what an icon she has become!!!
This song made I think my teenage a time.
Stevie's grandfather R.J.. taught her how to harmonize when she was a very young little girl.
You taught her well.
Thank you grandpa.!
Beautiful song-beautiful rendition. They are amazing together. I'm crying now.
This IS my Very favorite rendition of this song !!!
Hello Catherine… How are you doing?
I would have loved seeing the whole thing. It reminds me of the Saturday evening country shows in the 1960s that were pop. Porter Wagoner - Slim Wilson - HeeHaw...etc.
Beautiful, what else can I say! NH
What a romantic version of RRV.....I’m tapping my foot and rocking my head to the rhythm......
During my highschool days I use to sing this song
What a great duet! This song reminds me of my parents.
We used to sing this tune in my little old country church when I was a kid but I can’t remember the words we used.
Melodies can't be copyrighted, which is why there are many songs with the same melody but different words. When I started following Formula 1 racing, Lewis Hamilton of the U.K. had been winning every race, and I was startled when they began playing the UK National Anthem. Compare these two songs (they are in different keys and with a different tempo, but the melody is unmistakable): th-cam.com/video/Xm7CZvvsC64/w-d-xo.html (advance about 36 seconds to get past the fanfare); th-cam.com/video/VKj7FLg3WVA/w-d-xo.html
This was played at my Dad and step mom funeral love this song
Wow. Old as I am I'm finding brilliant songs on this youtube Chris Isaak and Stevie Nicks well WOWIE. Great old song . I caught Stevie doing Not Fade Away on here as well . She is a lovely woman and what a singer.
The best version of this song that I've heard. I'm 65 so I've heard a few.
One word, AMAZING. Stevie, long live the Queen. OMG but you are a National Treasure.
I love it when modern artists render old time favorites like this. Yep, this is quite cool.
this is the song i played in sixth grade band in the first parade i marched in. stevie nails this one she has such a powerful voice she can sing many styles equally well.
Awesome. Especially with the great drummer, Kenny Johnson!
My Daddy sang this song to me, too. Back in the 1960s. Gene Autry sang it on the radio. Would love to see someone post a filmed version of Gene singing the song.
I was raised on country music, I hated it, but..as I grow older realize its what I consider the foundation, i cant explain it , of most of the music love.
Here in 2020.. I'm the first but not here for the first time.. happy 2020 hope it's as good as this performance!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you guys for keeping the classics alive!!!!!
Pavarotti said it best.
LESS IS MORE.
The Audience is left in a perpetual state of expecting more which never occurs
Nicks and Isaak hold back .. hold back ... hold back
And the Audience is left expecting more
a great version of this beatiful song
how can you not like this, 2 American Icons ssinging a classic
I sang this to my son’s and now to my grandchildren. XX
Perfection!!! thank you!
Love it- evocative of so much-childhood (when I 1st learnt to sing this), innocence, an era gone by and her voice is rich n powerful.
