I enjoy hearing Willie Nelson sing my favourite love songs. I read somewhere that someone said that when they think of him, they imagine sun drenched highways. I think of Arizona. Anyway, he is still alive and kickin’ (I mean pickin’)!
I had never heard of Willie Nelson when I was in Africa. We only heard of him when we came to Canada in 1979. I heard this song on the radio. Here he is singing with Sheryl Crow.
Blue eyes crying in the rain – One of my favourite love songs by Willie Nelson
This is a very popular song, and has a lot of meaning to me. It was one of my favorite love songs when I used to sing at an old age home.
I prefer this upbeat version to Elvis’ slow one.
I first heard this number in Africa by Jim Reeves, and it has always been one of my favourite love songs. Where we lived, every day was nice and warm, with blue skies.
This song always reminds me of a relative, unfortunately they are now divorced.
Sorry to add in such a sad song. Maybe I will do a page on Ray Price later on.
I had a record in Africa of an American girl group singing this song.
Apparently Willie sold this song for $50 or $100, the stories vary, then it became a hit. I was singing this song in Africa back in the early 70′s. I had it on a Bobby Bare record called: “This I believe.”
