- Miss Kitty Wells sings her big 1952 #1 hit 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels' at the Grand Ole Opry. The songwriter was Jimmy D. Miller.
Lyric:
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are saying
It brings mem'ries when I was a trustful wife
It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
[ fiddle ]
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most ev'ry heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame
It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong - เพลง
Just a mexican guy who love classic country music.
that is OK. You can like country music. I like mariachi music.
Nothing wrong with that.. 😊
i'm asian
Same here brother
Me too
Grandma I'm listening to this song because I am missing you and I know how much Kitty Wells was your favorite country singer.
Still sounds so fresh over 50 years later. Miss Kitty was One of the greats.
70 years now
Kitty Wells was queen of classic country music! I was born in the 1940s.
I had the privelege of hearing Her at a County fair in the late 50s!

I am sorry I didn't realize anyone was hearing this are you listing to this and how

three chords and the truth, it's what makes great country music.
Finally 1 million views for the song that started it all for women in country music. 1 million views for the greatest lady of country music, 1 million views for a class act, 1 million views for the voice of many generations of country fans. 1 million views for the legendary Kitty Wells.
Thanks Angelo so beautiful , my goodness now you really made me feel good. She was just great. Live on spirit of Kitty Wells you left some legacy
8 years later and 8 Million views
kitty wells is my aunt!!! and she was a joy to be with!!
Is that true
Yea!!!she was my dads sister
Julia Myers Your aunt was a LEGEND.
yea i loved her to death! she was my dads sister
Julia Myers she is definitely the best! my parents raised me on her music. love it!!!
This song was a "reply" song to Hank Thompson's mega hit, "The Wild Side of Life". Another interesting fact is that this melody has topped the charts FIVE times! Each time with different lyrics. "The Great Speckled Bird", "The Prisoner's Song" and "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes".
I knew The Wild Side of Life from Jerry Lee's version, but he called it Honky Tonk Angels. I was watching a Status Quo video and looked up who wrote it, and that led me here!
I grew up listening to this and so country music will always be this style for me not country pop......relaxed,smooth,and simple honesty.....
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
My dad always loved to play kitty wells records that’s how I got hooked on her too now she’s an angel in heaven
My Mom used to play this on the piano and sing it. I am almost 60... Lost her over a year ago at 95.. Rip Mommy.😘
She will always remain in a special place in your heart. Hope you're staying safe over there?
So sorry.
I used to play guitar for her and Johnny. My wife and I sure did love her. Everytime we're back in Nashville we drive past their house. The old bus is still in the driveway toward the back of the house.
That’s great!!!
Well sir, you are a legend if you played with Kitty and I thank you.
You just don't hear music like this anymore. Thank you for sharing!
Hello, So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. How are you?
Pure and she is actually dressed !!! Does not have to be half naked to make a hot ! Long gone for ever true country!!!!
I was born in 1994 and i love music like this 😊
Her class. The era. The sound. The whole picture. Every aspect. The song. How it’s sung. The innocence. The beauty. Feel me?
The bigotry.
Kitty Wells is a great singer. I'm 20 and classic country is all I listen to.
mitchell meierhoff RIGHT! ?! That’s awesome ... keep that light alive. That passion. I feel the exact same!
Good vibes to you!
Yes Valentina , isn't it wonderful ? R.I.P. Darling Kitty .

I bet she was I always loved her music, since I was a teenager back in the 50s , I’m now 82 still love her ♥️🌹💕
Even it 2023 now I still love to listen to her❤
18 year old suburban kid who absolutely loves classic country, honky tonking, and outlaw. Anyone else a teenager?
This, in my opinion, is one of the most important Country Songs ever. It proved, beyond any doubt, that there were women who were great country singers!!
This was top of the charts during the Korean war and as soldiers it was meaningful to say the least , we all enjoyed this wonderful talent
The Grand lady who broke the boundary and paved the way for all female country artist. She was, has been and always will be The TRUE Queen of Country music!!
The only way you could have been a while. I'm sure that you have any
Karn Kimuchi. So very true
I agree!
The greatest of the great. I always have loved her singing
Everytime my mum would sing kitty wells I knew they were about my dad.. loved kitty and patsy ❤
I like the old country music the best. Grew up on Hank Sr., kitty wells, Loretta and the rest
I am 21 years old and I grew up hearing this kind of music and I enjoy it so much!
Hello Alicia how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
No Botox and no fake eyelashes neither
And to think that this was recorded in a time that women were not in the majority of country and western music. Kitty Wells was a MAJOR trailblazer and an inspiration to so many women in music, all types of music!! She was and still is AMAZING!
I still love kitty and I listen to her all the time
My father passed away a few days ago. This was his drinkin' song! RIP dad.
my husbands. as well
sorry for ur loss,kitty was my dads fav real music
there. will never. b. any. singers.
like. kitty. wells. &. singers like in. the. 50'60!&70'
I definitely agree!
Understood. RIP.
Wow, what a pure, honest, ringing quality to her voice.
Horsehide In all fairness dude you do not fully understand country. If you haven't got it, you just haven't got it. Sorry!
Yep
SING IT, KITTY! You are just telling the truth! You are a pioneer for women. Even before Patsy and Loretta!! Just stating my opinion! The truth is the truth!!
Yep. Tom T. Hall sang a great tribute to her about that
I'm sorry you have had your heart broke we know that this can be true.I have also known of several women whom did their man wrong can't put all blame in one place..
@@user-bf9tl8sy9vHEY SHE WAS JS, ITS NOT ALL OF US WOMEN TO BLAME 😂😆😂
Absolutely I was blessed with a wonderful woman whom I have loved 44 years😊
I remember Listening to Kitty Wells & Red Foley WITH MY DAD DALE F. WALES
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
I love this song and I always love it Kitty Wells is always been one of my favorite singers
Hello Cynthia
How are you doing today?
Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton the absolute best female country singers that have ever graced us with their talents. There will never be any other to replace them.
Bob Onanza
Come on now, this is not necessary. Keep it friendly, thanks
***** Those you mentioned are good but I wouldn't consider them the greatest.
Casey28027
+Casey28027 - Definitely would add Patsy Cline to that list. Still Kitty was great, and she broke through that glass ceiling.
+Casey28027 And, Patsy Cline!
She was a phenomenal singer, no doubt! She and Loretta opened so many doors for those who would follow.
What ever happened to GOOD country music? We miss you kitty.
it is still around just not played on the radio anymore.
@RawPhotography you are so right. It seems like almost every day I see a new artist that is supposed to play country like it used to be (and I know there are groups out there playing real country - there's just none on the radio). Seems like around the time of "Urban Cowboy" it took a wrong turn and never steered things back.
Dwight Yokum and Pam Tillis tried to save country music, they just couldn't do it by themselves.
Check out The Reeves Brothers, Kelsey Whardon and Joe Wortell and the Natural Law for actual good new Country
@@rollnrocksteve Lack of money in Real Country Music I do believe, there's more INSTANT cash available for the pathetic ' three word screechers' of today, backed by equally incompetent idiots plunking guitars, they make the hit parade because those who operate the Studios ( thus the music choices), have little knowledge of any style of music, also the impressionable 'young' folk who are ardent radio listeners,(albeit on the earbuds and Smart Phones) believe what they hear, if they are told 'THis is Great Music, they sadly believe it, the lack of ability in discernment is rampant today.There are, however, a good selections of REAL COUNTRY music groups available on the net, it's a matter of seeking it out from the garbage unfortunately, be patient and you'll find it.
fantastic classy music those were the days when music was music ! Oh my how the world has change
My Mom loved Kitty Wells she had a chance to see her in my home of Kahnawake Quebec Canada It was also a pleasure for me to meet Keith Bradford Kitty's lead guitarist last year at Kitty's old home in Nashville TN
You were so lucky to see her always wished I could but no more. Hope you're staying safe over there?
Lovely memories with this song back in the 60s one of my favorite country music singer. How are you LTC Curotte ?
She had a very good singing voice
My dad loved her, I've still got her LPs, ❤
I remember and grew up with Katie Wells listening to her music I love her songs I remember when she wrote that answer to Hank Snow I didn’t know God made honky-tonk angels I remember when Loretta Lynn came out and started singing in the 60s her and Patty met up and her and Patsy Cline was best friends I love them both and their music wish we still had music like that today
Ahhhhhhhh ty mucho memories :)
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
this was way before my time... i'm 41 years of age but this is the kind country that i listen to. when country music was "COUNTRY"....
You got that right. When a steel was the sound of country!
David Mahar Yeah, the steel... that's country!
WOW! MISS KITTY WELLS...THE BEST!
I'm 20 and was born in 1998, but I'm still here!
country doesnt exist anymore
Amen this was country
The original Queen of Country Music. God, she was good.
My lovely Miss Ketty! 💕 💕 💕
One of the Finest Country Song by a Female and a smash hit for her gave her a Gold Disc for Million sales in the USA.
Kitty Wells blew the guys away…,..real Country Singer--/the best Country Singer. They all good in their way, but Miss Kitty Wells is true Country!
Thanks to my Dad, I’ve listened n grew up with Country music all my life. But I’m from Hawaii n I love Hawaiian music too.
I love to hear Kitty wells singing and that song I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember my mom running a needle through that record in 1961-62 on our RCA console radio/record player.
I really enjoy listening to these songs
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
Yes. Back in the 60s nice memories with this song back in the 60s one of my favorite country music singer. How are you Lois ?

Hello friend, how're you doing today?
Of course.. Good old days..
This is fantastic what a nice voice so emotional I love this song. How are you Edward ?
Kitty was my mommy’s favorite when I was a young child I remember her. I love her with k d Lang Brenda lee Loretta Lynn. Kitty steals the show! She was so good!!❤️🙂🌈
I Remember hearing it when I was a teen knowing it was a reply to Hank Thompson's song I didn't know God made honky tonk angels.
RIP Kitty Wells. You sang like an angel and now you are one.
She was a good singer with great voice. Hope you're staying safe over there?
I love this song Kitty Wells did a lot of good songs back in the 60s nice memories. How are you Elizabeth ?
Was 15 at the time song came out. Tow years before I went into the Navy. Used to dance to this on the strip out side Naval Base at Little Creek, VA, You don't hear good country music like this any more.
So 'okie' and so beautiful, the best country song of all time.
❤ this her voice is a angel voice ❤
I believe she was the first woman country music singer before any of the others she was great loved her voice
My dad always called her Miss Kitty Wells. We listened to this song so many times growing up. Many good memories.
Kitty Wells Queen of Country Music. The Best of all.
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
great time of music
The most influential song by a female country artist was recorded exactly 63 years ago, on May 3 1952.
Long live Kitty Wells!
Angelo
Stayin Alive
What about Loretta Lynn?
I love her too but when you say MOST influential in that era, you can't bypass the Late Great Patsy Cline
Before I was born December 1952 but never get tired of hearing this great song
Kitty is who paved the way for Patsy and Loretta lol.
Her band hasTHE best slide guitar I have ever heard.. My god I love these classics.!
Wow you make a good point here, Hello Jessica how are you doing 👋👋👋
Daddy, I know how much you loved Kitty Wells, this ones for you. I can't, believe your gone almost nine years. My heart, will never get over losing you. You, were not only my Dad but the best friend I ever had. Know, you, will NEVER be forgotten. RIP, Daddy until we see each other again someday. I love you.
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
There will never ever be a talent like her again
Sadly these old country tunes get NO AIRPLAY on radio and although Patsy Cline seems to get airplay on Sirius XM you never hear Kitty Wells. Thankfully we have CD's and You Tube.
So true
For me, dear friend. the RADIO no longer counts for anything. It was good until the 70s and, at most, the 80s but now, there are other, much more important communication channels. Greetings. th-cam.com/video/mg8csEhcNMk/w-d-xo.html *ROADHOUSE BOOGIE* Country Guitar by *Duane Eddy*
They get countless play's on my c.d. player 👍🙋🙌best wishes from the u.k. 💕
It’s because of a law passed under the Clinton administration that only allows djs to play preselected songs by the big music companies.
I love the old country tune's 👍 also lacy j.dalton tom.t .hall.dolly p. skeeter kenny . and so many others**** a golden generation of star's 🙌 keep safe all 👍👍 bless the people keeping our country's going 💕many health worker's paying the ultimate price 😢 john from the u.k.🙋🙌👍💞
They don't make music like this anymore...what a great time to be alive it would've been...
I used to play on the jukebox in real drugstore in the 1950s. Today country music not even close. Randy Travis is one of the recent ones ..to me.. is even close to real country sound.. pure, clear and country.
Apart from all the racism it would've been great
Mick Higgins it was an awesome time. life was simple and the music too
Muriel Passman said it correctly, it was awesome back then, it was all laid back without fear of any wrong doings! I miss those days!
So nice.
I'm so glad that i grew up on this kind of music ❤❤❤
I miss the good old days when we had lots of great country music on the radio.
Well I do agree with you, Hello Dean how are you doing 👋👋👋
@@jamesanderson8078 I am doing well and how about you.
