She was 63 when this was taped. Her voice was still golden, practically unchanged when she first recorded this when she was 23. It became a huge hit worldwide. She had 5 No1 & 18 Top Ten hits on the Billboard Country Charts. Sadly she passed away just 4 years after this performance. RIP Legend.
IDK how old she was in this vid... she was hot.. her voice... her clothes... pure Country.. pure professional... pure lady. THIS is what a woman is in the Great Old USA!!!!
Her cause of death was a heart attack. I read she had difficulties with alcohol the last several years of her life, which is unfortunate. However, she sounds great here, and looks to be having a good time performing.
My goodness her vocals remained intact…..don’t know how old she was here but that voice never let her down. I miss her. She was a gem. RIP Lynn. You’ll never be forgotten.
I have always loved her song here and her voice!! Don't know why- maybe because I can understand every word she was singing in This song but - melancholy! What's that my young self questioned?? 😆
I love this song............I love the way she sings it.........after 36 years of marriage, I sang this to my husband........................it was perfect....................his response was " How do you know this song?" It was perfect, word for word, And I said " where have we lived for the past 36 years...............?"
And, Lynn did a lot of drinking in her day BUT her vocals stayed very crisp and strong right up to the end. It’s the smokers who lose their beautiful voices over the years…..tobacco and smoking drugs will destroy your vocal chords……ala Whitney Houston (who should still be alive and singing strongly today) but we all know that sad story.
That song made her rich. You never bite the song that feeds you…and she was more than happy to keep singing it. I’m glad she did. She was a rare gem….,and very beautiful with that long gorgeous hair.
@@laurenurban3942 It also made her a superstar. This song was a once-in-a-career song if an artist is lucky. Way beyond just another No.1 record. It crossed genres, went No.1 around the world and did so much for country music, period.
I GUESS IM'E GETTING BEHIND IN THE TIME'S,BEAUTIFUL LADY"DID NOT REMEMBER OF HER BEING GONE,AND WE ARE SAD THAT CHARGE PRIDE IS GONE ,THERE'S ABSOLUTELY KNOW ONE TO TAKE THEIR PLACE,WHEN WE GET THIS AGE ,CONFOUND IT ,IM'E ALWAYS FEELING LIKE I MISS THE DEAD PEOPLE MORE AND MORE ALL THE TIME., BUT WHEN THE FUN PART IS GONE,WE HAVE OUR TAPES AND RAIDOS AND WE HAVE THE MUSIC AND THE"TEARS"AND HAVE TO JUST KEEP GOING ON.&GOD BLESS.
“Was” is the keyword; she’s not a fantastic singer here. Proof that abusing drugs and alcohol does bad things. I mean look at her here, she looks half dead and reportedly reeked of booze and body odor.
When I was a little boy I saw her perform at the half time show at that San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and got to shake her hand. Most performers would come out and ride around the arena in the back of a convertible waving at everyone before taking the stage out in the middle. Not her. Lynn comes out wearing a blue sequin outfit and white cowboy hat riding a white horse like she was born in the saddle and goes all the way around the arena shaking hands and talking to all us kids hanging off the rails and took her sweet time to make sure she got to talk to everyone. When she was done she kicked the horse into a gallop and jumped off on to the stage to do her set. I've never seen anything like her and I guess I never will. I was gutted when she died. RIP Lynn. You were the best that ever was.
This was one of the biggest hits in popular music history. As Billboard wrote, ""Rose Garden" was as big a hit as anyone could have possibly had at the time, and Lynn Anderson had it."
It played and played on the radio in 1970…..very much like Joplin’s Bobby McGee….both very popular songs at the time. I clearly remember it….and miss those days.
She was my first crush. I was only 6 years old, but I thought she was so beautiful. I cried when I heard she died. I still love this song. It's so wonderful to see her singing it after all these years. R.I.P. Lynn. You are truly missed. 😥
Saw her live about 40 years ago, Duluth, Minnesota as part of the home and builders show. I remember her singing this song and really connecting with people in the audience. 2 shows a day for 3 days. Lovely lady, great voice and tons of energy😊.
Lynn Anderson was the one that got away. Of course she never met me and I was 14 when I feel in love with her. Seeing her on stage with Marty Stuart, another idol from the early 70’s, brings back such fond memories of a life that was far less complicated!
My partner was at Quang Tri Vietnam 70/71. Rose Garden would be regularly played on AFVN every 3/4 hours. At the army bases, fire support bases or in transports/APC’s if safe to do so radios would be turned up when Rose Garden was played. Now 5 decades later each time he hears the song he’ll cry/tear up. Brings back memories of his buddies who were KIA in VN or have passed since DEROS.
Was lucky to meet her in Taos, New Mexico in December of 2002. Was getting married and she was with her Mom and Dad at the same Hotel as my fiancée and I stayed. She sent a bottle of wine to our room and invited us for dinner! She was amazing and beautiful! What a wonderful memory!
Yes we have always felt blessed as she was so happy for us! When talking to her you felt like you were friends. The people of Taos treated her like the local that she quickly became. Yes something you never forget and a memory to always treasure
@@denisenicole1890 yeah, I love this song but all this while, I was only familiar with the old classic version. It's refreshing to hear Lynn sang her old song with a country western flavour.......
Her voice sounded amazing, compared to when she had her hit of this song in 1970. My Dad was a disc jockey and I would go with him many times, I was 11 at that time. People could not get enough of this song.
Yes, though it's a good song, I wouldn't want to hear it in any other arrangement than this, the one that made it a hit! And they absolutely nailed it.
I remember I was 17 yrs old at the time this song came out. I was working at the marine base as a summer job hire. The Marines Corp had posters “ I never promised you a rose garden.” 🌹
My mom would sing this and I was a little kid..but my mom is gone and this just makes me think of her...and how fast time goes by and you cherish those simple times. ❤
Even if it is more than 5 yrs. since this music video was posted and most likely, no one will read the comments. It doesn't matter, I need to post my comment for myself and how it makes me feel... Thank you for posting this highly memorable song sung by the great and beautiful legend Lynn Anderson! ❤️ Today when this music video came up on my suggested feed, I instantly clicked on it and turned the speakers up on HIGH... I'm not ashamed the least bit, to say that through my streaming tears, I sang along with Lynn. I still to this day know every word and vocal-cords in it... This brings back soooo many memories from when I was a small child. Way back when I thought life was finally going to be good, that there WAS love in the world. I was only 5 yrs old and had just been adopted, after having survived the worst abuse a child or, anyone for that matter could have been been forced to live through. In a box in my new home, I remember finding a small battery driven handheld transistor radio 2 days after I had moved in with my new "parents". I didn't know what it was at first but, rolled the plastic roller thingy on the side and nearly dropped the radio when it started coming to life. THIS was the fist song I had ever heard in my 5 yrs of life. I am now 60 yrs. old and this will ALWAYS be my favorite song and Artist. It is the song that has always managed to give me hope, even if it is bittersweet... I soon found that I had to hide this precious radio, since in my new home, I was not allowed to listen to "heathen music". 5 yrs old, I somehow managed to find an earbud to this transistor radio and would sleep with it under my pillow with the earbud in my ear. It was my only comfort when I finally realized that, life is still not roses and sweet smelling flowers... And never was... However, this little old beige colored radio was my lifeline, it was what helped me through the darkness and cruelty in life. It WAS what helped me survive and grow to be the strong individual I want to believe I am today. A WARRIOR for abused children and women. With all that's going on today, I really needed to happenstance across this song and not only listen to it but also sing along. It has given me the courage to feel that, I CAN STILL FIGHT. I can still make a difference... Thank you 🙏
OMG! 😲 MISS. LYNN ANDERSON STILL HAD THAT GLORIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE MANY YEAR'S AFTER SHE RECORDED THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG! SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY SWEET LADY. I WAS A YOUNG TEEN AND MY DEAR GRANDMA USED TO BLAST THIS INCREDIBLE SONG, SUCH HAPPY MEMORIES. THANK YOU MISS. ANDERSON, YOU SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. R.I.P.

Love so very much this song; I will be jamming this till the day I die - amazing song and poignant as heck! Think it through and listen - makes sense and even in 2023!
No idea how I got here but glad I did. I remember Ma singing this when we were kids. This lady here can sing better than some more than half her age! Brilliant. Confident, talent and entertainment all in one 😉
She was my childhood sweetheart. I was lucky enough to not only see her peform live, but I got to actually meet, talk with her and she autographed my Album for me. She, Buck Owens and Roy Clark were the headliners for the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in Colorado Springs where I was born and raised. I was lucky in the regards that the rodeo brought a lot of Country Stars to it over the years. I met Tammy Wynette, George Jones, almost all the cast of Hee Haw, a young Hank Williams Jrr, Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter and fantastic singer also his wif. and many others. Lynn Anderson has and will always have a special place in my heart.
Story time.I have been listening to this over and over.I love the song and this is a great version. Two days ago I was looking at old photos from my childhood.I came across photos of a trip to Norway in 1979.Our Irish dancing school was invited to an international festival.Most of us had never been out of Ireland.We all got new passports to make the journey.We had a school master who assisted with the planning.He ordered all our passports and when handling them out we got so excited. Well yesterday I had a hospital appointment.The car that pulled up next to me in the car park was that school master.Then I found a video today of Lynn Anderson visiting her family in Norway.The houses all looked as they did when we were there.The people in The National costumes,the very same. I'm not quite sure what this all means.Simple coincidence? Considering I rarely leave my home it's quite remarkable.Just thought I'd share.
1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation 15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. James 4:4 New Living Translation 4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God." Mark 8:36 New Living Translation 36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
I was pleasantly surprised at how excellent that was. Although being older of course - BUT the Vocals, strings and all the musicians as a whole were on point - one of the best on the Marty Stuart show in my opinion - and of course Paul Martin always hits a home run - amazing musician
Forty years later and Lynn Anderson still sounds absolutely incredible. That wonderful and joyful voice and this profound lyric containing great wisdom. A song I often starts intuitively to hum, when I am having the blues. Believe me! the song comes to me without me even thinking of it - that is mystery to me 😀
Such a powerful and amazing voice, miss Anderson at the top of her game. Marty and his superlatives made this live performance one to remember! What a beautiful lady.
So cute she still sings that song among others very well Love her pink cowgirl outfit & Pink hat and beautiful cross earrings. Very cheery while snging .
She was 63 when this was taped. Her voice was still golden, practically unchanged when she first recorded this when she was 23. It became a huge hit worldwide. She had 5 No1 & 18 Top Ten hits on the Billboard Country Charts. Sadly she passed away just 4 years after this performance. RIP Legend.
Not to sound mean or cruel but she looked a lot older than 63.
Sorry but I think you were mean and cruel why say anything if you can’t be nice 😊 @@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm
IDK how old she was in this vid... she was hot.. her voice... her clothes... pure Country.. pure professional... pure lady. THIS is what a woman is in the Great Old USA!!!!
This was 4 years before she died at 67, so she was 63 here.
Wow- she died rather young at 67! At 63, she seems a bit shaky, but sounds good!
Her cause of death was a heart attack. I read she had difficulties with alcohol the last several years of her life, which is unfortunate. However, she sounds great here, and looks to be having a good time performing.
My town is twice as old as your country...
❤❤
My goodness her vocals remained intact…..don’t know how old she was here but that voice never let her down. I miss her. She was a gem. RIP Lynn. You’ll never be forgotten.
This was 4 years before she passed away in 2015, at 67.
Exactly my sentiments!! She didn’t have a easy life…. And considering that, her voice remained.
@@clapollaHOW DID SHE DIE
@@LeeH864 heart attack while in hospital for pneumonia
@@LeeH864She died of a heart attack!
Lynn Anderson was a beautiful singer!!
At her age she remained singing.
Her voice was still powerful!!
Always nice when a singer has a voice that never deteriorates despite them getting older. Lynn's voice here sounds like the original recording.
I agree.
Better as the original recording ... :-)
True, given the advances in recording & sound systems
Sorry to burst your bubble, but she's lip synching on this clip.
@@barbwire539 Not true.
She looked so happy singing. R.I.P. Lynn
She knew this song was a game changer
I have always loved her song here and her voice!! Don't know why- maybe because I can understand every word she was singing in This song but - melancholy! What's that my young self questioned?? 😆

@@rosemariegray4007 Hello how are you
She looks like a man sorry but I do like song.
Remember this old tune when I was a kid. My goodness her voice is still amazing ❤
Hi Bell💐💐
Look at the smile on her face she loves what she is doing.
The old country music was the best
This was a huge radio hit....In the 70's, more songs were crossover hits. 💜⭐💜
Oh how I miss the legends....
@@stargazer1359 In the '70s, people were saying that about country songs from the '50s.

what a voice....she could sing anything.....and a humble lady with no ego....RARE.
Amen!
I love this song............I love the way she sings it.........after 36 years of marriage, I sang this to my husband........................it was perfect....................his response was "
How do you know this song?" It was perfect, word for word, And I said " where have we lived for the past 36 years...............?"
Love love love ❤️ her!!!!

She was a huge star in her day. Used to see her on all the popular TV shows during the 70s and early 80s. Her voice and looks sure held up. RIP Lynn
Cómo que ya murió???????
@@miguelangelherrerasantilla8580 She had a heart attack in 2015. Died at 67 years old.
She sounds no different than the original recording...what a beautiful voice. This was country music...60's and 70's (early 80's). Rest in peace 🕊️❤️🙏
And, Lynn did a lot of drinking in her day BUT her vocals stayed very crisp and strong right up to the end. It’s the smokers who lose their beautiful voices over the years…..tobacco and smoking drugs will destroy your vocal chords……ala Whitney Houston (who should still be alive and singing strongly today) but we all know that sad story.
...the original recording is from...Joe south he wrote it......Joe south..rose garden...
such a cute lady....this song takes me all the way back to when I was a kid and this was ALL OVER the A.M. radio dials
It was the one song I didn't get tired of no matter how often it was played. I was also a kid when it came out.
Isn't she adorable here? She looks and sounds great, and like she's having a great time. I always forgot how good this song is!
Me too , nice to go back in time in our minds
Great reminiscing. The one song that I know all the words to. Crazy what sticks in your mind when you’re a kid.
Me too
I’ve never seen a singer so happy singing a song what a legend
That song made her rich. You never bite the song that feeds you…and she was more than happy to keep singing it. I’m glad she did. She was a rare gem….,and very beautiful with that long gorgeous hair.

No female singer now days even come close as far as a natural, magnificent voice like hers.
You can't be serious.
Love this lady. Still had a beautiful voice.

Yep, wish music didn't go into the gutter... this is real music. Lady Gaga, give me a break...
@@Kelly-lo6cz Lady Gaga is not country, but I bet she could have if she wanted, and I bet she has never been arrested for shop lifting but Lynn has ❗
Her energy, smile and beautiful voice is pure sunshine❣🥰🥰🥰❣
One of my best country songs. Loved this song as a young little South African boy, way back in the 70s... Rest in peace Lynn. We missed you 😢😢
We need more upbeat songs like this during these times
That is for Sure
yes music today isnt music
I always love this song 👍👍👍👍
@@christoby5057 thank you I feel the same way
After my divorce in 1970 I went to Mallorca and the bar other side of the hostel played this song whole night.
She was a fantastic singer. That voice made her one of a kind. She will always be remembered.

RIP Lynn Anderson! We will see you again!!
“Was” is the keyword; she’s not a fantastic singer here. Proof that abusing drugs and alcohol does bad things. I mean look at her here, she looks half dead and reportedly reeked of booze and body odor.
Until judgement day.
Beautiful Lynn Anderson
Those were the days when you understood every word the singer sang. Unlike today where I wonder even if the singers know what they say.
Wow! This is Lynn singing live with a voice of a 20-yr-old. She's incredible.
RIP A total Superstar, amazing how fantastic she sounds at her age in this performance. Just perfect!
Love this song lynn Anderson one of the best
She's so beautiful and full of feisty energy! What a Gal!
Still the way she sang it back in 1970. And it remains a classic. What a performer.
Damn, this lady can sing.
Beautiful hello
100% pure American LADY with talent, personality and grace. She was one of the high points of country music and I loved her.

This song was so big, even in New York where I lived. Her voice and this song transcended genres and geographical differences.
Monster hit. Went #1 in 15 or 16 countries around the world, I believe.
She was a natural born singer and performer!! Love her. She is missed. Glad we have videos like this. 💗🌹💗

I think the same. I grew up listening this Music. Rest in peace Lynn
when died??
I grew up on rock n roll and I am in my 60's now but back in the 70's I also had a crush on Lynn Anderson.
My daddy loved her! Rip daddy
OMG The most striking and enjoyable thing about this song is Lynn's smile and happiness singing this song!!

Saw her live about 40 years ago, Duluth, Minnesota as part of the home and builders show. I remember her singing this song and really connecting with people in the audience. 2 shows a day for 3 days. Lovely lady, great voice and tons of energy😊.
That's country for you. Singing, dressed in cowboy outfits with sequins all over, having fun with music. Ya gotta love country.

A huge sound from my childhood...dad played country and my mom played pop and classical.
Love so very much this song; I will be jamming this till the day I die - amazing song and poignant as heck! Think it through and listen - makes sense and even in 2023!
Hi Renae💐💐
@@AndyBenitez-ey6up Hi Andy. :)
Singing my song... yep!
@@renaestevenson1361 I’ve been listening to this song for years now & it sounds exactly the same in 2024.
A. Beautiful. Ladies. A. Angel 😇 a. Beautiful. Voice. The. Queen. Of. Country. Music 🎶 she. Love. Her. Quarter. Horses. 🌹
She sounds the same. Its amazing.
Back in the day, she was an absolute knock out.
No idea how I got here but glad I did. I remember Ma singing this when we were kids. This lady here can sing better than some more than half her age! Brilliant. Confident, talent and entertainment all in one 😉
I'm not from that era but it's as if, such beautiful musical lyrics, I never promised you a rose garden
She's still got the golden pipes.
Yes she did 5 decades ago & even now. Her legendary singing voice will carry on. RIP Lynnn!
She was my childhood sweetheart. I was lucky enough to not only see her peform live, but I got to actually meet, talk with her and she autographed my Album for me. She, Buck Owens and Roy Clark were the headliners for the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in Colorado Springs where I was born and raised. I was lucky in the regards that the rodeo brought a lot of Country Stars to it over the years. I met Tammy Wynette, George Jones, almost all the cast of Hee Haw, a young Hank Williams Jrr, Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter and fantastic singer also his wif. and many others. Lynn Anderson has and will always have a special place in my heart.
A star still shines you know what I'm talking about
Good Lord, this is the cat’s whiskers. Best country from the best country era.
Lynn sounds so awesome here she is the best and always made me happy
It's one of the best songs ever written and sung, Lynn sounds fabulous !!!!
Story time.I have been listening to this over and over.I love the song and this is a great version.
Two days ago I was looking at old photos from my childhood.I came across photos of a trip to Norway in 1979.Our Irish dancing school was invited to an international festival.Most of us had never been out of Ireland.We all got new passports to make the journey.We had a school master who assisted with the planning.He ordered all our passports and when handling them out we got so excited.
Well yesterday I had a hospital appointment.The car that pulled up next to me in the car park was that school master.Then I found a video today of Lynn Anderson visiting her family in Norway.The houses all looked as they did when we were there.The people in The National costumes,the very same.
I'm not quite sure what this all means.Simple coincidence? Considering I rarely leave my home it's quite remarkable.Just thought I'd share.
Hello jane
First time l heard this song was in England back in 1970. I was 18 by then, now l'm 72 and still love it. I'm from Spain.
Pure Talent!!!
Hi Elena how are you doing?
She was my greatest memory of 1970, such a lady. She is a star in Heaven!

1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation
15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
James 4:4 New Living Translation
4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God."
Mark 8:36 New Living Translation
36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
I was pleasantly surprised at how excellent that was. Although being older of course - BUT the Vocals, strings and all the musicians as a whole were on point - one of the best on the Marty Stuart show in my opinion - and of course Paul Martin always hits a home run - amazing musician
Forty years later and Lynn Anderson still sounds absolutely incredible. That wonderful and joyful voice and this profound lyric containing great wisdom. A song I often starts intuitively to hum, when I am having the blues. Believe me! the song comes to me without me even thinking of it - that is mystery to me 😀
GREAT lyrics. Great performance. Love this one...brings back a lot of memories. The band was kickin' too!
The best! The lyrics are so on point. Just a great song!
I don’t know how old I was but I loved this song so much, my Dad bought me the album🩷🌹
Such a powerful and amazing voice, miss Anderson at the top of her game. Marty and his superlatives made this live performance one to remember! What a beautiful lady.
So cute she still sings that song among others very well
Love her pink cowgirl outfit & Pink hat and beautiful cross earrings. Very cheery while snging .
Hey how are you doing..?😊
Now this is a singer . Amazing
What a lovely person she was. A true talent and class act!
But it won't save your soul.
Remembering Lynn Anderson on what would have been her 71st Birthday!
Born September 26, 1947
Left us way too soon....
