- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ย. 2014
- Best known for her international crossover hit "Harper Valley P.T.A.," Jeannie C. Riley was born Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson in Anson, TX, where she developed a love of country music as a girl. When she was a teenager, she made her first public performance, appearing on her uncle's jamboree show. Soon after high school graduation, she married Mickey Riley; she wanted to become a professional musician, so she and her new husband moved to Nashville, where she performed secretarial work at Passkey Music. She also made a few demos as Jean Riley that led to the single "What About Them," which wasn't successful. Then, in 1967, her manager Paul Perry hooked Riley up with producer Shelby Singleton, with whom she recorded "Harper Valley P.T.A." The song became an instant hit, reaching number one on both the pop and country charts. Later in 1968, Riley debuted on the Grand Ole Opry and released "The Girl Most Likely," which reached number six on the country charts. During the early '70s, she had a string of minor hits and five other Top Ten singles, including "Country Girl," "Oh, Singer" and "Good Enough to Be Your Wife." Around 1974, Riley became a born-again Christian and formed a new band, Red River Symphony, which had a minor hit in 1976, "The Best I've Ever Had." Following its release, Riley founded and began recording on the God's Country label. In 1981, she recorded the gospel album From Harper Valley to the Mountain Top. Throughout the '80s and '90s, she continued to be a popular contemporary Christian recording and performing artist.

When two classmates who’d bullied me in elementary school apologized at our 50th Class Reunion? Like Jeannie C., I realized that God can change hearts. ❤
2021 why doesn't country music sound like this anymore I'm 16 and I love older country more then new and I love older rock more then newer
All country seems to have crossed over to POP. I grew up on "Real" country and I miss it as well.
You're welcome
I’m here my girl👍
Every things evolve.
I think bucky covington had the last good song.
Why this woman became a one hit wonder is beyond me, because she has powerful voice and could carry a song from here to eternity
Listening to this may explain why, this song here is virtually the same as her one big hit.
You need diversity to survive in the business.
Her big hit was massive and she rode on her own gravy train but couldn't follow up on it
Because of material like this song?
@@adrinathegreat3095 First this was a MONSTER hit, it would be hard for any artist to replicate. Although I think if she went back to Tom T Hall, and asked for more songs h certainly would have written another for her. In the early 70's she left country music for the most part and became a Born Again Christian and recorded mostly gospel music ... that is why this song is about forgiveness
I thought she had Ode to Billy Joe to? No?
No, that was Bobby Gentry.
Jeannie C Riley still looks great and still has a great voice
She’s being inducted into the Texas country music hall of fame this weekend!
Good for her I love her God bless you Jeannie
Thanks for the INFO!
Bout time!
A well-deserved honor.
Posting this October 12, 2020. She richly deserves it!
This is how life goes. A true American story when you come back 20 years or so. With her voice and the whole package I do not get how she didn’t have more hits.
It was probably because she switched from country with some success on pop charts to gospel which has a smaller market.
She made her money. She didn't intend to do music forever. She's a missionary
@@jssamp4442 Amen. Those have done well too
Yes. And went to school with my sister
I am not American , but I like American culture , and this beatiful woman says An a few words the real live in the little country town ! Beatiful voice !
I'm 18 and I love old country. Oldies are the best
Don't ever stop exploring old jam hunnie! I was you about 20 yrs ago.
Country just ain't country anymore!there is a song in there somewhere
If I could ever be adopted , protected and defended by someone… it’d be a ma’am such as this lady. Mother type….
Excellent xx, my husband was on a school council for 3 yrs in an Australian parent council. The song is about all country self righteous councils. Long story short, he was able to get his school council sacked becomes of corruption, thats why l love this song. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
That's the original. This song is more about becoming one of those very hypocrits
She was beautiful, you couldn’t be more Beautiful than she was. and sadly a one hit wonder! Why? She had a killer voice. Harper Valley sold 6 million copies when it came out! That was a giant hit!
God Bless You !!❤❤ That was So Wonderful ❤❤❤ Thank You !🎉
This is my song, 17 years old just before shipping to Korea, I live in Harper Valley and school was name Harper Valley High School
WOW.. This woman has everything she ever wanted for ONE song and has proven that this is ALL you need. And not to mention she is as beautiful now at 80 than she ever was. What an icon. WE STILL LOVE YOU Jeannie :-)
Part of that beauty is because she was 74 when you wrote your comment. 😍 The rest, I fully agree with.
Okay.....gotta say it:
Who else would do what amounts to a "diss track" - to the song that made initially made her famous?
I genuinely respect that, on some level.
Jeanie C. Riley is truly "one of a kind".
God Bless Jeannie C. Riley. She is for real!
I love that she did a follow up for all of the characters!
She looked so beautiful in this video and her voice was adorable.
Love her voice after all these years
Damn, she is beautiful!
Love both of the Harper Valley songs
They is 3 more ‘widow jones’ ‘mr Harper’ and ‘sippin Shirley Thompson’ so five in total
I did not grow up on country music but got here as fast as I could.
she was soooooo pretty!!
A. Lmao still is
She is still dressing really nice
The good songs 🎵 and music are long gone..now nothing but junk... she is soooo gorgeous 😍 and beautiful voice 😍 ❤️
I love this follow-up ( not quite a seperate song) . Now seeing how time changes how much things that were significant gives such perspective of the times. Love this second part of the story from mini skirt to grandma. Simply SOCKING IT PTA REFORMED HYPOCRITES SHE CALLED OUT, GOLDEN!
Tom t hall wrote both. So cool he used same beat.
First time hearing part 2,love it. WoW she is still so beautiful.
This woman is extreamly beautiful, and a voice that makes me smile every time i listen to it
Trying to get there Jeannie thanks for inspiring forgiveness however some things are hard to forgive. I know how both songs feel and am praying my widowed mother and I get Justice and peace and freedom and believe we already have despite the moochers that have racked up debt we are paying. Always get that Bible out and say a prayer when confronted with evil and use Your God given talent to bring peace and not hate.
My hero wrote this song. The first one. Wow. Welcome home, everybody!❤❤❤
Love this song good old country music we need more
Depends on who is Singing. Cyndi Pauper released a Country 💿 2yrs ago "DETOUR" and it's really a cool musical journey. I love it. DM
Wow, What an incredible voice!
I never new this song even existed and I LOVE IT. The song Harper Valley P.T.A was brilliant but this song teaches us a whole new lesson, its about love and forgiveness.
I didn't realize how beautiful she had gotten to be. I loved her in 1968 Harper Vally PTA and really love this sequel.
Hello how are you doing..?
Would it surprise anyone that you can judge them and still love them? You may not like every single choice somebody likes, but you can still love them.
Just a Fantastic voice.
This is brilliant. I love the theme of revisiting an old song years later to find out what happened to the characters.
It wasn't a theme when she redid this song. She turned bible th mper and wanted to redo things with a biblical background.
Cool 😎👍 first time I've ever heard this
Hey how are you doing today..?
A lot of truth in this song. Different town, differt names.
Hi Claudia 💐💐
She out it over beautifully and she was a doll. Let's never forget, however, it was composed by a Country Music Hall of Fame member, the late, great, Tom T. Hall.
“Love one another...” AMEN Ms Riley!!!
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
,,,,,,, una Pralina di Cioccolatta che canta,,,,, e per lo piu', Dolcissima, Bellissima, Incantevole e con un temperamento vulcanico. Bravissima!!! 👏👏👏👏👍,,,,,, un Bacio da me,,, (Antonio,,,) e da tutta la Sicilia - Italy : 🌹💋💝🇮🇹🍝🍷☘️👍🙋♂️
Still as awesome as ever
This is an iconic lady she has a wonderful voice
I remember the first time that I watch Harper Valley PTA when I was in Jamaica, I love the movie movie. It was the best! And, yes, Jamaicans love USA country music!
And some of country fans really love Boney M, 4 singers from Jamaica.
Priceless
Great song for small town so true
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan... Stay Safe!
She went around singing in all the churches around Jones county tx and Abilene tx before she hit it big. I know this as fact, because my family knew her growing up as kids.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU JEANNIE RILEY and your Harper Valley PTA !
Jason you are handsome
This is a good song. I still love the 1st one. It's my favorite! But you did a great job, describing today's ways and the awesome ways that the PTA members life's turned out!! Good job!!!!
My mom was the most beautiful mom in school, really, she was. The wives were threatened. Their hubbies sure looked. Even in my grammar school through the Grange in high school, she was treated poorly by the ladies. The men gathered. My mom was a single working mother. She worked to keep a roof over our heads. Her strength and beauty is so missed by me. Rock those mini skirts over there, Mom !
This song is wonderful. Nice return to Harper valley PTA. Awesome touch on the bible
Aboustly love this... i love harper valley p.t.a. what a great addition to the song thanks for sharing 😊😊💕
Sweet follow up to the original. Don't we all love a happy ending!
Love one another.... DON'T judge one another! STILL rings true ... almost 2018 😎
Beautiful voice....brings back memories.
Just love her voice♥️
Love this song
I grew up in the 1965- 1080's we didn't have a lot of news. Telephone, and all my mom however was our entertainment! She was an awesome singer! I remember every song that played on the tube at that historical time, I miss those days now but at the time out her than sunny and Cher. Hee hee, Tina and ike lol we didn't know very much other than those! 6 decades later hee haw is gone, Cher, Tina Turner, Elton John, and probably others I've failed mention because my memory lapse, ha ha! I still love them all! Peace my friend's! Just know you are all loved forevermore! Adrian from the great state of North Carolina! Peace my friend's!
I meant to say 1965- 1980's lol sorry
Now if people would love one another instead of judging one another!!!!!
Jeannie C Riley congratulations.
That was a nice second serving,
beautiful vocal, excellent thythm section, tasty guitar. Aces.
Thank you so much.
Yaaaaas, queen !

Beautiful, I was thirteen in 1968, loved the the original and this is superb.
Hi .Lorraine hope you're okay?
@@dannyhuffman I am probably not great health-wise, but I am as good as I can get, considering my doc told me I should have been dead three times over. Our health system is fantastic, I hope not to have any more visits, even if the food is a lot better than mine. Hope you're having a great life.
I liked it better the first time around but this one is good just hard to beat the first
Hey how are you doing today..?
I'm totally speechless. Never heard that one before. Seems like the older you get the more fun we're gonna' have here! And you kids........oh well, keep it up 🤪
still love her
Oh Singer was a beautiful song that really displayed her beautiful voice.
I love her songs. I worn out record when I was growing up.
I still have it. It's green ! Remember ? I do.
I love this song. She is a very beautiful lady!
I loved country music when I was 16 I'm 80 now you can find old vinyl country records if you hit the charity shops
Cool take on a Classic Ms Riley
Damn, this is one incredibly beautiful soulful lady
Very cool.
Hello
Brought tears to my eyes, and love in my Heart
so country, in her voice one off a kind
I watched Mrs Riley get her doctrine at Lincoln memorial university a few years ago and it was priceless
While im not normally a country music fan, i absolutely love J.C.Riley's songs about the HARPER VALLEY P.T.A.😀😃😀😃😀😃❗
She’s beautiful. ... that smile could melt butter.
Beautiful lady with a truly lovely voice.
Pure talent and class!
Beautiful inside and out and badass too💪
Hey babe
Totally badass babe!
Such a powerful voice.
Barbara Eden played the lead actress in the PTA movie she's very pretty too
"Did ya hear the one about the cat that ate the cheese then waited by the mouse hole with baited breath?"
She was 46 when she played the part
Gorgeous!!! She almost looks better there than she did 10-15 years prior!
Great sequel
She has a beautiful voice
This lady is beautiful. I love this song. That long black dress would be great for the end of October. She sings about a short dress while she sings with a modest dress that goes down to her ankles.

Hello how are you doing..?
Love this song!!
She reformed the entire town when she "Socked it to HARPER VALLEY PTA"! Mini skirt wearing , drinking, adaultry, were issues discussed back in her day. People are still fornicating, overindulging intoxicated substances , now it's going on in the parking lot! Love it
I loved the movie and song just today for the first time heard the new version of the song just as wonderful as the first song. Jeannie voice is still beautiful and she is to.thank you for your talent❤
