I've been under the weather for over a week, so there's not been much going on in Sweetheartville besides a lot of Netflixing and YouTubing. I can't get enough of the old clips of the beautiful Goldie Hill. With a voice like honey, and the looks of a Hollywood starlet, it's a shame she was probably most well known as the wife of Carl Smith, whom she married in 1957 after his split with June Carter. Here she is singing one of my all time favorite classics, "Cry, Cry Darlin'" while looking divine in her suit by Nudie.
Look for the great Bill Monroe, who penned the song, on mandolin in the background!

Wasn't that just an amazing time in music? I'm sorry I missed it...she looks super chic, and I heart the tune!~
You're cool.
I love watching videos like this! And you're right, she is a total cutie.
It's so nice to visit others that appreciate this era, and the music etc. Another cute blog! I just joined both.

One of the most beautiful singers I've ever seen ! I wish I'd been around to see her perform live..
Wonderful! We had her song,"I Let The Stars Get in My Eyes" played at our wedding. She's fantastic and way too overlooked.
Wasn't she also dubbed the "Golden Hillbilly." I really dig her song "I let the stars get in my eyes". It's really fun to sing around a campfire in the forest & pretend I've made it up.
