Jeannie C. Riley performs a song she recorded back in 1970 which she debuted on the Ed Sullivan show. "Oh Singer" went to NUMBER ONE on the country charts and #74 on the pop charts.
One of my favorite songs that my dear cousin, Jeannie C. Riley, ever sang! Some don't realize that she was way more than just her hit song "Harper Valley PTA." She has several songs that she wrote herself and that epitomize her real life in Anson, Texas, before she became famous. Today, October 19th, is Jeannie's birthday. Happy Birthday my beautiful cousin...your beauty goes way more than just your outer shell; your soul is beautiful as well!

I love this song, this particular performance doesn't move me as much as listening to the recording of it that I have. I love a lot of her songs, my mom had her album and I used to listen to it over and over again when I was a kid, esp Shed me no Tears and Run Jeannie Run

On this day in 1971 {March 7th} Jeannie C. Riley performed "Oh, Singer" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... One month later on April 3rd it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #74 and spent 6 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #4 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart and #5 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart... R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan {1901 - 1974} and Ms. Riley, aka Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson, celebrated her 67 birthday this past October 19th...

Too bad they never aired the Revelation Generation on that episode, my mother was in it and they cut them out of the show. These Armed Forces Brats deserved better than that.

Nashville Now had an ensemble of some of the best backup singers in Nashville. I wonder what they (JCR & her daughter, Kim) thought they could add by having her (Kim), an untrained backing singer, as part of the number. Looks silly.

Don't be crass. It is called harmony. She does good. She also sang background vocals on Jeannie's ABC records album. She also sang back up with her on the road.
