Miss Wendy Holcombe died of a heart ailment in 1987, she was 23. What an absolute heart breaking happening. She was so very talented, she could play several stringed instruments and did it very well. She was not only a very good musician but she played those instruments as good as anyone especially the banjo. She could play with the very best !!!
I recall seeing her on TV when they called her Little Wendy Holcombe, said to hear that she passed away at such a young age. She really brought some nice spirit to the old classics. :P
Wendy was the reason I started watching "Nashville on the Road." I mean, you talk about a tremendous talent...and country music's all the poorer because Wendy Lou died all too soon. Thanks for posting this one, Randall!
She lived near us in Alabama, so we got to see her at a lot of local things. She was so pretty and so sweet, I had a huge crush on her. She was a really nice girl and it was so tragic when she passed away.
Watching this clip makes me know what it would feel like to be in a parallel dimension where Dolly Parton died tragically young. Ms. Holcombe had that much star potential.
Wow! Where did she come from?!!!! The Lord gave her a full life cause He knew He had to call her back early. They don’t make Sheila’s like that no more. Greetings from Crows Nest QLD. 🦘💨💨💨
I enjoy banjo music however I'm not impressed with her version of Ol Slew Foot. I felt it was more about showing off her banjo skills. Don't get me wrong, she is definatly a very talented picker. It just didn't do the song justice. To fast and banjo to loud.
If they can't see the incredible talent it took to play it like she did and sing it so well well what can you say they must lead a pitiful existence looking for others shortcomings while obviously ignoring their own let me guess they could do it better????👀

I did not know that
@@donnellysurfer she died Valentines day in 1987
Rest in peace...I did not know it. Every time I saw her on TV I found her delightful.
@@adops6053 She must have been about 16 in this clip.
My mistake, she was 12.
she's a cousin of mine, buried in my family graveyard in Alabama. rest in peace Wendy, such talent lost at a young age
That's damn sad
yeah so sorry to hear about the loss , I know it's been 33 years but still what a talent she was
I’m so sorry
No telling how big a star she would have been if she had lived longer. Truly a great talent and performer.

A fantastic talent. Such a beautiful lady and soul.
What a girl boy can she play and sings so well God bless her unbelievable talent RIP Wendy.
This one young lady had more talent than fifty of todays pop country acts.
exactly goodbuddy!!!
Because today's pop country is little more than rock 'n roll with a twang. Unfortunate as that is. This is from when country was country.
Yes. She did she was beautiful inside and out
Knew her, her family, and visited Fox Valley quite often. Wendy was as genuine as one can be. She left us too soon.

Thanks for posting this one, Randall!
Such a beautiful soul. I wish she was still here with us. 💔
What spirit she had. Personality like opening a bottle of warm champagne.
WENDY the real deal!! God bless, Wendy lives in our hearts always & forever!

I remember her all the way back to Country Boy Eddie Show.
She is so talented.....one of the great female banjo players....
jose higgins You are right...I shouldn't have bothered with the word female, one of the great banjo players. Wait a minute...Steve Martin?...naaw!
Wow! What a talented beauty! And playing at Marineland... I wish I'd had the good fortune to be there to see this.
She has got to be one of the 10 or so greatest banjo players of all time...even though she left the scene much too soon!
I have not seen any picker that was as skilled as Skilled as She. A Tragic Loss of Talent. Made a mark in Banjo World that None that I've seen
Bela Fleck.
like Karen Carpenter. gone too soon.
top 10 yes , # 1 in my book
I love masterpiece like this so great
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE "WENDY HOLCOMBE!!"
Though she is gone, what a fucking talented individual. I'm blown away.
I’m here because of the algorithm, which includes Billy Strings and the Grateful Dead. Hot damn! Gone too soon. Rest In Peace, sister.
I remember watching this performance on TV with my parents, so sad she passed away so young.
Best banjo picker ever.
One most gorgeous angels to listening to and I love you
Angels are bless with love
Big hugs and kisses
A great talent. I miss her still
Wendy was 14 when this was recorded. Amazing.
She was my grandpas cousin :)
She looks like she's having such a good time.
Wendy H is having a good time and so are we!
Wow she is really really cute! And a good picker!
I love how she had to bounce it out when she played
she is a awesome performer
💓💓💓💓I love it gorgeous 💓💓💓💓
Wow, this piece is unlike any I've ever heard
Watching this clip makes me know what it would feel like to be in a parallel dimension where Dolly Parton died tragically young. Ms. Holcombe had that much star potential.
You cant take anything from Dolly she obviously had better marketing but was just as talented a singer as this young lady was a picker.
R I P Wendy (1963-1987)
She was born on April 19, 1963.
Just saying if the bear looks like her prettiest bear I ever saw
I love it
Oh God she can pick!!
Wow! Johnny Horton would be proud!
Sure can pick! Wow
Wow! Where did she come from?!!!!
The Lord gave her a full life cause He knew He had to call her back early.
They don’t make Sheila’s like that no more.

Life doesn’t make any sense. Why do amazing souls like this one get taken away so young?
I don't understand myself , taken too soon , but someone as useless like Nancy Pelosi still lingers on
Hot damn
Damn, just Damn...
❤️
Super!!!!
She can go a mile a minute, this kid.
Classic !!!
Terrific.
👏👏👏

This is pretty sweet!

Gives Johnny Horton a run for his money.
There are 26 twats that actually didn't like this.
There are 26 drunks who can't drive a mouse accurately. :)

Now she plays banjo in heaven!
