I'm glad you enjoyed Ricky's original song. He still loves me very much! LOL! He's doing great...we just returned from our creek, where we've been clearing underbrush. If you've read that he's not well....it's false news.
I would like to read a book by Ricky and Bettye on how to make a marriage and relationship last forever, and how to be the best supporter for your spouse or partner. I have been through 2 horrible marriages and I often wonder where did we go wrong. I admire these two sweethearsts and how they compliment each other. I think the world could use some of thier words of wisdom. Ricky sings so many songs of love reflecting on each other. Congradulations Bettye and Ricky. Bless your hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful voices ever. He looks just like my ex-husband. My step daughter was working at the restaurant where Ricky and crew were to stop after concert. She was hostess. When he came in, she went up to him and and told him that Ricky Van Shelton was going to be there that night. When she got home she told me about it. Then said He looks exactly like dad!! I had gone to see him prior to that gig he had and had a great time. He has a very rare talent of sounding the same on stage as he does from recording studios. Very very few musicians are capable of that!!
@@BettyeShelton-RickyVanShelton im randolph wisconsin and i was about 11 years old when i got hook on ricky music and its was christmas of 1988 that i really started listen to his music. and betty i still to him on youtube alot
I have love Dwight Yoakam's music for so long,and always will I think he is a superb songwriterand a bona fide actor and I did not know anything about Ricky Van Shelton until I came across his music on youtube recently,I had always thought that no one could compare to Dwight musically,I was wrong !! In my opinion Ricky Van Shelton has the purest country voice ever ,incomparable.No gimmicks just a truly beautiful voice. My fave song of Dwights is I WILL JUST TAKE THESE,it shows how great his range is,but then I really listened to Ricky,s LIVING PROOF and imo RICKY is far and away a better singer than Dwight.So while I love them both musically it has to be RICKY NUMBER 1 AND DWIGHT NUMBER 2..The big winner of course is Music.
Hi Bettye Shelton,I just watched your video from 2000 of you and Ricky at home,it was lovely and when you were in the beautiful garden and you mentioned how Bumble bees sting,did you know they also bite and it is very painful,I think their bite is worse than their sting l.Iam so enjoying all Rickys videos and his beautiful voice,I have also asked my bookstore owner to see if they can get your book for me..all the best and much love from Australia.
@@louiserawle8999 Ricky has told me that bees can bite. Thankfully, I've never been bitten by any. And you can order SHE STAYS from Amazon if your bookstore isn't able to help you.
Thank you so much, Bettye, for posting this amazingly beautiful unreleased song for all the Ricky Van fans!!! I'm truly honored that you included my photo in this wonderful video!
Bettye, Ricky is still loved and missed by all of his fans. I once heard him say in an interview that he will always be singing somewhere, is this true? My daughter and I met him in Pittsburgh and he was so sweet to my 10 year old daughter, she was in his fan club. God bless both of you.
I what to tell u a story about Ricky van Shelton me and my sister went to a concert of his at woolands texa s and my little sister she meet Ricky back when she was little girl well she went down to meet him and she got lost trying to find her way back to were a was Ricky took her back stage and took a.picture with him
I'm her sister. I'm also pretty sure I'm the little girl in the red hat in this video. What my sister left out was that Ricky's manager put me in the front row then Ricky sang to me. I believe that is when they took the picture used here.

Linda, you can find our "love" story on Amazon. A book called "She Stays" that I co-wrote with a very dear friend of mine.
