Can anyone tell me where I can watch this video? I have seen at the Hall of Fame in Nashville but cannot find it online. Thank you!

Indeed a great moment.

I was watching the show that night with a bunch of people and I think that I was the only person in the group who knew anything about her, albeit mostly from the great Bob Wills and Eddy Arnold recordings of her songs

I remember watching this too – When Cindy started her poem, I thought “oh no, they are gonna fire up the “get off the stage” music” Thank God they didn’t because it is one of my favorite memories of the CMAs…and all this from a woman I had never heard of…Now the Hall of Fame members get stand up from row 17 in the audience and hope the cameraman picks ‘em out (Shame on you, CMA)

I remember watching this with my parents as a kid. The dress was gold-ish in color and kinda sparkly if I remember right.

A truly heartfelt and emotional speech. Pricless.
