Harris, Emmylou - Those Memories Of You Lyrics

I have listened to this song so much over the years that when I can''t sleep at night, I can sing it in my head until I fall asleep. In my head, I sound just like them.

Here because I live in TN and sometimes I somehow end up on the country music station and when this plays I have to keep it there lol. Not even a fan of country , but I really like the song!

Dolly, Emmy Lou and Linda still the best Version of this song

Here because of CMA AWARDS 2019??

Still rockin in 2019

Dolly Parton was once quoted as saying "My voice ain't what you'd call PLEASIN..."

LADY, ARE YOU DEEF? LOVE LOVE LOVE this lady, and this collection! Makes my heart happy.

YEEE HAAAAA !

I remember hearing this on my car radio for the first time...I had to pull over and listen. Those words and harmonies tore at my soul.

Dolly is and always has been the BOMB!!!!

These girls are as good as it gets. And I love the harmony, and My Shannon is going to pass Friday Aug. 23. She will go to meet her Savior Jesus Christ. May God help her rest in peace.

Until the day they lay me down! ❤

Awesome fiddle

Sweetnest

This is so groovy.  I hear Dolly loud and clear.

Dolly 😍😘

Are you kidding me, this whole danged band is awesome. Guitar, drummer, bass etc. Of course these ladies shine, as well as Mark O'Connor, but wow the producer put together some excellent musicians that nailed every aspect of beauty and balance on this one. Truly a 'CLASSIC'. Thanks y'all

That damn slide guitar....

Always thought it was Jerry Douglas on dobro. It's Steve Frishell. Mark O'Connor on fiddle and that acoustic solo before the fiddle solo had to be Albert Lee

DOLLY ! SO LOVELY what a great song , my heart gets filled with emotion ♫♫♫

I bought this album I think around 1987 or so.. lived In rural Montana at the time.. Drove to Bozeman..Mt. to get it..about 75 miles one way.. after I got it home the album (vinyl) was warped..but it wold still play reasonably well,, I still have it,, in mint condition (other than it''s (warped) today here in 2018... good music!!!

This is so good, I just nod my head in wonder...amazing...

Like an old gospel song the way they sing it. Beautiful harmonizing

Reminds me of my daddy...he passed away Feb 1

🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 i love

The Trio album was an event not only because those three singers were each stars, but because once they discovered whose ranges worked best in combination with each other, they produced a stunning vocal blend. Trio included a number of great songs with backing by the finest L.A. and Nashville musicians, and “Those Memories of You” (sometimes known just as “Those Memories”) was the standout track to many. Written in 1979 by bluegrass banjo player Alan O’Bryant, the song sounds like something Bill Monroe would have written, or at the very least, something he might have recorded on his way to becoming known as the “Father of Bluegrass.” Well, Monroe (with his son James) actually did record it in 1980, long after that title had been bestowed upon him. Monroe apparently liked it a lot not only as an artist but as a businessman, as BMI lists Bill Monroe Music as its publisher.

On the version by Parton, Ronstadt and Harris, Parton took the lead with Ronstadt and Harris singing harmony. The three performed “Those Memories of You” on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, on the night that Carson amazingly gave the singers three performance slots as well as interview time on the couch.

When we think of a song with an ABABA structure, we almost automatically think of it as verse-chorus-verse-chorus-verse, since songs open with verses the majority of the time. But in this case the song actually starts with the chorus, which is sung three times, and it has two verses, so this chorus is actually A, and B is the verse:

Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when I lay down
I’ll always love you, little darling
Until the day they lay me down

The song ends with a tag of the final line of the chorus, Until the day they lay me down.

Pam Tillis had a minor hit with the song before Parton and company cut it, and it would later be recorded by Leann Rimes and even by the Brian Jonestown Massacre. The song has become a modern-day bluegrass and country standard, with many listeners and pickers alike unaware of where it actually came from because it sounds like it was written during the golden age of bluegrass.

Usually I am rock and roll.....but for some reason I found this by accident.....and I like it.....nice job ladies

Nothing today is even in the same ballpark...

Stu Wright should listen to The Brian Jonestown Massacres cover its great from their 1996 album

Does anyone else remember the paper dolls on the booklet that came with this?

Samantha ..mom has it, grew up listening to this record

Samantha, I still have mine, but it now  has a sticky on the case with my gr'gr'daughter's name on it. She saw it two years ago and loved those paper dolls so much. I told her it will be hers one day but to listen to the music too. She promised she will.

This song reminds me of my mom

I'm in tears, reminds me of my Aunt Amy. :)

Still loving this song in 2017 ;)

Of course this is great, what else would you expect from these three wonderful gals.

Everything just comes together in this piece, the guitar, the fiddle, and of course the singing by these legendary gals. Pure country, pure music. Virginia Boy loves this!!

Everything about this song comes together including the fiddling section. Sooo memorable.

Just love that fiddle solo.

And the paper dolls in the liner notes were cool, too.
