Pop Goes The Country Guest Ray Price And Sami Jo 1975

Pop Goes The Country Ray Price And Sami Jo 1975. Pop! Goes the Country is a weekly half-hour syndicated variety country music television series that originally aired from September 7, 1974 through January 1, 1982 for a total of 234 episodes. Originally hosted by Ralph Emery, the series was recorded at the Grand Ole Opry and featured comedy sketches, performances by and interviews with country music singers, both established celebrities and up and coming singers and musicians. In 1980, Tom T. Hall replaced Emery as the host. In the final year of the series, comedian Jim Varney became a member of the show, and the show moved from the Opry House to Opryland USA’s Gaslight Theater. It is also considered as a spin-off of The Porter Wagoner Show. The Statler Brothers sang the show’s original theme song.

The series’ title referenced the influence pop music was having on country music in the works of the era’s country music performers such as Barbara Mandrell, Lynn Anderson, Dolly Parton, and Anne Murray, all of whom appeared as guests on the program, although performers with more traditional styles such as Loretta Lynn and Mel Tillis were also featured during the show’s run.

Ray Price – Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics

Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft upon my skin like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I’m taking is your time, help me make it through the night

I don’t care who’s right or wrong, I don’t try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight
And it’s sad to be alone, help me make it through the night

Lord it’s sad to be alone, help me make it through the night

Lord it’s sad to be alone, help me make it through the night
