My Wife of 40 years died January 23, 2022, I listened to this song as an OTR Trucker when we Married, along with many other Country songs, she loved this one, all I have now is her memories, and, pictures, I miss you Diana, love you, and, honor your memories. Mike
God gift to humanity the gift of Love, cherish the memories Blessings to you all always, I love you My husband died after ten yrs I was so distraught I didn’t know the day, I learned how to drive OTR instead of finding a way to die God blessed me with so many great men& women on that ribbon of highways (God showed me how to live)
I don’t even know if John Conley is alive and I think when he had that perverted song of common man and was a sick and twisted and distorted is saying a Chevrolet over Mercedes-Benz showed some very very bad alcohol abuse or pure ignorance but then again that song came out before 1978 when General Motors wasn’t owned by China like it has been since 1978 SAIC the owner of general motors and all of its divisions
I was born in 1969, and grew up as child of the 1970's and 1980's. I agree that " Today's Country " is crap. I grew up listening to John Conlee, Johnny Paycheck, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and so many others.
John Boren well whatever you grew up the same time I did I'm 56 years old right now but I'll tell you what my God man I love that John Conlee Woody he came out with rose colored glasses but my favorite song by him is Miss Emily's picture I sure hope you heard that one that's like that's more favorite than Rose Colored Glasses but what a great tune it talks about a guy that she hit you're a youngin what do you grow up and go through the heartache I have but I just love hearing it all of it and I'm a hard-working man and I never going to stop working but I'm woman less I'm real apprehensive about finding another one but just hang in there dude you be alright but John Conlee rocks and yeah I love all them guys Merle Haggard George Jones Conway Twitty all of them you know if they're all as you know they're all dead now but Tom T Hall all these grew up loving him but hang in there man all this new country just sucks donkey dick I don't want to hear none of it but the old-time stuff man I just love it and hang in there I love to hear from people like you try to hang in there and behave yourself and remember no matter where you go there you are
John Boren SAME! I grew up in dallas listening to all the greats of the time. Then later in my twenties got to meet and become friends w Gary Stewart. Never wouldve guessed that back then. So many music genres are so muddled up and trying to fit into the hip new now scene, theyve all lost their roots. I get that great artists and songs etc hsve been made possible becuase of it but ho lee whats wrong w hangin on to a little down home? 🌲🐻🌲
My kids wonder why I have hardly CD's except Conway Twitty. I tell them that was because he had real talent. I like John Conlee, too and I'm proud to live down the road from where he grew up. Miss George Jones, too - loved all the talented singers but for me, Conway got me through a lot of problems. All I had to do was listen to him and I felt better.
Underated ? JC is a Country Music Superstar ..many number 1 hits and idolized by millions 40 years after his 1st hit and still standing tall in the industry ..far from underated ...
"Miss Emily's Picture" was and still is one of my favorite John Conlee hits of all time. Peaked at #2 late in 1981. Should have been a #1. "Blue Highway", "Old School", "Doghouse", and "In My Eyes" are also favorites. John Conlee also belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
As noted, this song fits the feelings of all who've suffered any emotional loss. 10 years ago, they handed me a box of ashes that had been the love of my life. Yes, I straighten her picture now and then...always will.
This song came out when I was in high school. I loved it and swore I would name my daughter Emily. My picture of Miss Emily has been on my bedside table since taken in 1986 - she will be 36 years April 11th. She’s in heaven. But she will always be Miss Emily - my angel waiting for wings, Emily.
Thank you for commenting, but in this case it's unrequited love, not someone I have lost to death or divorce. I've loved her for years, we were close for a while but have drifted apart. My life is empty without her. I will truly love her until I die.
MrJNFan I do know what you mean. I have lived a life for the last 19 years missing my Ex. Every day I know the feeling of a fool. For I myself am that fool. I was the reason for my loss. I pray she will find it in her heart to realize you are her world. And love will fill your lives. Love is free. Hate cost to much.
Thank you my friend, glad there are still some nice people out here on the web. While we each wait for our ladies, we'll have John's great music to keep us company for many many years. And I'm afraid it's going to be just that. Have a blessed time. Thanks again for your comments.
Sirius XM is annoying listening to them pitch their opwn services and the announcers rattling on about nothing and then paying for it..Have 2 vehicles that I can get it on but it's less annoyingand cheaper to play CD's when I want music
There's a couple good country channels on here with new stuff. Check out Music Fog (very creative bands), Live at Billy Bob's Texas, The Texas Music Scene TV. Nashville pretty much moved to Austin and Stillwater Oklahoma. The Red Dirt Americana stuff is still carrying the torch. There's also a channel on here called "real country music albums", and the guy posts album after album of all the great country singers. Recently he posted what seems to be 30 Reba albums. Before that there's about 30 George Jones albums and 30 Merle and Waylon albums. haha it's a beautiful thing!
Yes today's country music is nothing like the artist of the 70s. It's just not the same. I was lucky to have a radio next to the bed listing to all the country greats of the 70s.
I still love Miss Emily's picture from 12 years ago. This song speaks to me and the pain I still feel inside. I lost Teddy in Vietnam 4 days before his 20th birthday. He got drafted right after graduation. Now he's sleeping in God's big bed.

A gifted singer and songwriter but also a genuinely generous, giving person. His song Busted raises money for the hungry when the fans throw money on stage. A proud advocate of our servicemen and women. And he has some of the best truthful songs I have ever heard. Love his singing and his choice of songs. I do believe Alan Jackson names John as one of his early influences. He is a good man!!!!
My daughter's name is Emily. This came out when she was a baby. She would cry every time I sang it to her! Poor kid, I'd have to pick her up and she would just kling to me
Thos song immediately touches the heart ~ Moves me even more since losing my husband of 50 years, Jan 22nd, 2021. Some music is spiritual sustenance, and this hits the mark💖

I used to have two John Conlee records. I would play them constantly on my vintage radio/record player from the late 40's. What's not to love about these classics? I'm 21.
Been listening to John since 8-track days.....now on the computer I can play him all day...and nite........and the memories never end....I love that guy!
Still love this song. John Conlee had a very unique voice...which you never get tired of listening to. Would love to hear new music from this great talent.
Love John’s voice and music , so many great songs over the years , love to see him live again , he sounds great live too , Ryman used to be a great place to catch him

I've just been transported to the late 80's - my mom and some aunts and uncles are drinking wild turkey and the music is turned up. We're all laughing. And everyone is getting along, but the nights just begun........
Cha Cha don't be suprized that someone still plays this song.Because I play it constantly,now.You see,I always liked this song,and now it has a great deal more meaning.Because,you see,just 13 days before knottheadme uploaded this song My Precious Angel of 36 Gracious years passed-away as I held Her from medical neglance and medical neglect.So you see,this song is now what my life is like every day.
Heck I'm 45 and although I listen to just about anything from 50's Rock and Roll and every generation all the way up to the 90's, I also remember listening to the likes of John Conlee, Coway Twitty, Mel Tillis and all the other great country artists of the 70's when I was kid and will always go back to listening to it cause you just can't beat classic country music.
I just love John Conlee. He is the whole package in country music! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear him sing. Wish he would spend more time performing and less time on the farm. My all-time favorite! And a certified nice guy! Ask anyone and they will agree with that statement!
Im 27 and John Conlee is one of my favorites. I am a huge fan of classic country. Im also a huge fan of Keith Whitley, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Jones and many many more (Female artists included).
This comment is almost a decade old, but the Keith Whitley song Miami, My Amy literally brought me here because of the voice twang they both share…. Also the guitar styles
I give a shit! It means that people of all ages can appreciate real music! Whether they are 9 or 69! That's the problem these days. People are listening to "bubblegum" music that suffers from the cookie cutter syndrome. Kids these days don't listen to real music anymore and when I hear that a young person is listening to this..it tells me that there is hope for some of the young ones.
Absolutely love John Conlee! Love the country music from the late 70's. I worked with my mother cleaning apts, the summer before I started high school. We (Mom & Dad) would listen to country every morning...
I was a country DJ when this was out along with his other hits. Country music was really good in the 80s. The Oak Ridge Boys, George Jones, Dolly, Earl Thomas Conley, Kenny Rogers, Shania just to name a few. I wish a time machine existed.
I LOVED WAYLON AND WILLIE AND BOCEPHUS .ONE NIGHT MY BUDDY AND I STOPPED AT JACK AND DORIS BAR IN SHEPHERDSTOWN WV DURING A SNOW STORM AND THEY HAD JUST PUT THIS SONG ON THE JUKEBOX AND MY BUDDY PLAYED IT AND IT SEALED MY FATE AS BIG TIME COUNTRY MUSIC FAN THEN I DISCOVERED MERLE AND NVER LOOKED BACK.THANK YOU DAVE JIM BOWIE KEYTON. REST IN PEACE.
Ryan let me take back to music school first session passion for music starts and. Ends in the heart. John Conlee feels the music from his sole,which is found in your heart.
On this day in 1981 {November 22nd} John Conlee's "Miss Emily's Picture"* peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, for the first week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "My Favorite Memory" by Merle Haggard, and for its second week at #2, "Bet Your Heart On Me" by Johnny Lee was in the top spot... "Miss Emily's Picture" reached #7 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart... Between 1978 and 1990 the Versailles, Kentucky native had thirty-two records on the Hot Country Singles chart, twenty-three made the Top 10 with seven reaching #1... John Wayne Conlee celebrated his 74th birthday three months ago on August 11th, 2020... * "Miss Emily's Picture" was John Conlee's fourth of five of his records to peak at #2 on the Hot Country Singles chart... And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the remainder of the Hot Country Singles' Top 10 on November 22nd, 1981... At #3. "Bet Your Heart On Me" by Johnny Lee #4.

My deepest apologies to u.
Thanks Mike she's still there with you
Sincere condolences and sympathies for you sir. God bless and protect you always. 🙏🙏🙏
My wife died six months ago. I miss her so much.
God gift to humanity the gift of Love, cherish the memories Blessings to you all always,
I love you
My husband died after ten yrs I was so distraught I didn’t know the day, I learned how to drive OTR instead of finding a way to die God blessed me with so many great men& women on that ribbon of highways (God showed me how to live)
Tossing yesterdays love out into the wind. John Conlee is a great musician. They don't make country like this anymore. We love you john!!!
I don’t even know if John Conley is alive and I think when he had that perverted song of common man and was a sick and twisted and distorted is saying a Chevrolet over Mercedes-Benz showed some very very bad alcohol abuse or pure ignorance but then again that song came out before 1978 when General Motors wasn’t owned by China like it has been since 1978 SAIC the owner of general motors and all of its divisions
Back when country music was true art that mirrored true life.
Damn skippy
"Look out my window and what do I see? nothing but pain looking back at me." Best line ever!
That's great but I like "Go in to the office and the works piled up, pour three finger bourbon in my coffee cup"
I'm living it. Man does it suck.
Yeap
It is👍
Yeah. I love it.

John Boren yes when country music was country music and not country rock
I was born in 2002 and I prefer 70s and 80s country compared to todays so-called country
John Boren SAME!
I grew up in dallas listening to all the greats of the time. Then later in my twenties got to meet and become friends w Gary Stewart. Never wouldve guessed that back then.

My mama told me before she passed at age 81, that she really liked this John Conlee song...Thank you J. Conlee.
They don't write 'em, or sing 'em, like this anymore! This song still makes me tear up.
One of the most underated talents of country music! Just love all of his songs, especially Old School!
this man is TRUE COUNTRY....
Well said.
Hi Cindy
Underated ? JC is a Country Music Superstar ..many number 1 hits and idolized by millions 40 years after his 1st hit and still standing tall in the industry ..far from underated ...
Underrated!? Where you been?

Yes, I straighten her picture now and then...always will.
🥺
Bless you. May your soul be calmed and reassured. Take heart. You'll be together again.
I don’t know how many times I sat there just pushing replay on this classic. Glad I found john conlee
This is a true love song by a man who is missing his woman. Thumbs up to a great song.
This song came out when I was in high school. I loved it and swore I would name my daughter Emily. My picture of Miss Emily has been on my bedside table since taken in 1986 - she will be 36 years April 11th. She’s in heaven. But she will always be Miss Emily - my angel waiting for wings, Emily.
I am sorry for your loss. What a sweet tribute.
This has to be one of the greatest country songs ever written. Only Conlee could drive it home!
Who can not like this? True country music in the day and still a great one.
Named my daughter after this song. Great singer. One of the best!
I too, have my own "Miss Emily" She is so hard to forget. Will love her until I die.
Sorry friend for your loss
Thank you for commenting, but in this case it's unrequited love, not someone I have lost to death or divorce. I've loved her for years, we were close for a while but have drifted apart. My life is empty without her. I will truly love her until I die.

GOOD SONG
I miss real country music !!!
Me too!!
Sirius XM is annoying listening to them pitch their opwn services and the announcers rattling on about nothing and then paying for it..Have 2 vehicles that I can get it on but it's less annoyingand cheaper to play CD's when I want music
Don't like new country. George Strait said it right when he wrote a song "The day they killed country music down on music row".
There's a couple good country channels on here with new stuff. Check out
Music Fog (very creative bands), Live at Billy Bob's Texas, The Texas Music Scene TV.
Nashville pretty much moved to Austin and Stillwater Oklahoma. The Red

Yes today's country music is nothing like the artist of the 70s. It's just not the same. I was lucky to have a radio next to the bed listing to all the country greats of the 70s.
Not anything anyone hasn't said before!
This man is a SINGER! A man whose prose transcends generations!
I still love Miss Emily's picture from 12 years ago. This song speaks to me and the pain I still feel inside. I lost Teddy in Vietnam 4 days before his 20th birthday. He got drafted right after graduation. Now he's sleeping in God's big bed.
@marcosbryant27ciao Marco! 🙋♀️😊😘💘🌅
i love this song so much i named my oldest daughter Emily....
Terri Ingram i’m named after this song
Terri Ingram My mother named her youngest daughter Emily (me 😂)
Emily Birdsong Same
Now I know how the name Emily gained so much popularity in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s. Am I complaining? Not even.

i agree!
same here
John Batson true
I remember hearing his music when I was a kid growing up in the 1980's. His music brings back a lot of memories and is unforgettable
Got to see him once. He's exactly what you see. Loved him. His voice hasn't changed 💖🎵🎼🎶💯🥰
I was born a small black child listening to this on 8 track tape but always knew id be a normal man who drove a normal van

A gifted singer and songwriter but also a genuinely generous, giving person. His song Busted raises money for the hungry when the fans throw money on stage. A proud advocate of our servicemen and women. And he has some of the best truthful songs I have ever heard. Love his singing and his choice of songs. I do believe Alan Jackson names John as one of his early influences. He is a good man!!!!
John didn't write too many songs.
He does “busted” for the wounded warriors project now
My daughter's name is Emily. This came out when she was a baby. She would cry every time I sang it to her! Poor kid, I'd have to pick her up and she would just kling to me
It's true! I still cry when I hear it.
Thos song immediately touches the heart ~
Moves me even more since losing my husband of 50 years, Jan
22nd, 2021. Some music is spiritual sustenance, and this hits the mark💖
@Jason Puddy Thank you💫
My mom sang this to me all the time. I love this song.
I just showed this song to my little Emily who is 8. As it turns out, her Moma was born in 1981, pretty cool
I still love the old stuff. I'm 62.

this song almost makes me cry every time I hear it
Same 😥
Named my daughter after this song, thankyou John Conlee !
one of the very best songs a real man can relate too!!!!!!!!!
I'm 41...still loving every bit of it. Nothing better than getting a grip on reality by going back to the true country.
all of his songs are good.....
They really are!!
Beautiful song and your voice.
Sir Mr. John Conlee was the Master at pure, simple and honest lyrics and song. It is always so easy to relate to the tune he is rendering.
Love John’s voice and music , so many great songs over the years , love to see him live again , he sounds great live too , Ryman used to be a great place to catch him
My mother loved this song and JC, I remember listening with her when it was on the radio back in 1981. Still great in 2023
I've always loved this song. Never tired of hearing it.

The past was a better place....
This song is like he's sitting across from me at a table telling me these things. Truly a master artist.
Cha Cha don't be suprized that someone still plays this song.Because I play it constantly,now.You see,I always liked this song,and now it has a great deal more meaning.Because,you see,just 13 days before knottheadme uploaded this song My Precious Angel of 36 Gracious years passed-away as I held Her from medical neglance and medical neglect.So you see,this song is now what my life is like every day.
Such poignant words. Thank you, John.
Gosh, it's wonderful hearing this again. I think this is a song about lost love. I'm thinking he was careless with his love for Miss Emily.
Hello Rhubarb
I am 25 and this is one of my favorite songs i grew up on all the old country and now my kids are!
Heck I'm 45 and although I listen to just about anything from 50's Rock and Roll and every generation all the way up to the 90's, I also remember listening to the likes of John Conlee, Coway Twitty, Mel Tillis and all the other great country artists of the 70's when I was kid and will always go back to listening to it cause you just can't beat classic country music.
❤😊❤😊my first love!John Conlee
His mustache
WONDER IF KNOWS JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVE TO LISTEN TO HIS AWESOME COUNTRY SONGS! THIS IS CAROLYN,JONATHAN'S MOTHER!
I just love John Conlee. He is the whole package in country music! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear him sing. Wish he would spend more time performing and less time on the farm. My all-time favorite! And a certified nice guy! Ask anyone and they will agree with that statement!
Im 27 and John Conlee is one of my favorites. I am a huge fan of classic country. Im also a huge fan of Keith Whitley, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Jones and many many more (Female artists included).
This comment is almost a decade old, but the Keith Whitley song Miami, My Amy literally brought me here because of the voice twang they both share…. Also the guitar styles
that's what we call real country
Amen to that..
I give a shit! It means that people of all ages can appreciate real music! Whether they are 9 or 69! That's the problem these days.

Kids these days don't listen to real music anymore and when I hear that a young person is listening to this..it tells me that there is hope for some of the young ones.
wishing i could scatter my memories on the floor..omg right..just to drop em and never remember em again..ugh damn
I wish country music would go back to sounding like this. REAL COUNTRY MUSIC
Can't believe this song wasn't a no 1
was in the hospital when i 1st herd this song love this song 😀
Absolutely love John Conlee! Love the country music from the late 70's. I worked with my mother cleaning apts, the summer before I started high school. We (Mom & Dad) would listen to country every morning...
My favorite classic country singer!
+steven rodriguez I AM with you! Simply beautiful
Old school country. He was a great singer. His songs were related to real life for sure.
yes but he still singing so not was he is
frank patitucci Ty Frank, "John"s " 68 And Still Singing To Some Sold - Out Crowds. And Still Sounds Fantastic.
Such a haunting song. Grew up in the 70s listening to REAL country
I saw him at a bull riding event about 5 yrs ago and he put on a great show. A little older but still sings the best songs well.
You're all nuts john conlee had many different styles. His music comes from the heart.
I was a country DJ when this was out along with his other hits. Country music was really good in the 80s. The Oak Ridge Boys, George Jones, Dolly, Earl Thomas Conley, Kenny Rogers, Shania just to name a few. I wish a time machine existed.
Papa used to have me play it for him. Divorced, he lived alone in a run down old apartment. Excellent use of symbolism by John Conlee.
great song. happy 71. i just made 76 & this song will go on forever. i lost my emily years ago but she too will always go on forever. jose
Still listening 2019. One of my favorite songs.
I'm 16 and all I listen too is classic country music and love it all.
I love all his song's this one really touches me
