Have heard few singers who could convey powerful emotion the way he could.

Beautiful song.

I have a theory that maybe he is so completely as a man singing and creating the way he did, so utterly open, so vulnerable and true so sweet.... that the culture was just a little uncomfortable with it.

Thanks so much for the post. My parents were divorced when I was 8 and this song was popular. My Mother used to sing it and I hadn't heard the lyrics in a long, long time. Well, the story has a happy ending...they remarried after five years of being divorced and it got it right for the next 25 years.

slip through the cracks? mickey is in the country music songwriters hall of fame! quite famous..

[fatherofthebride1]

I wouldn't say he's "quite famous". Respected and revered by those in the know, yes: but famous, no.

@fatherofthebride1 I think well known by hose in the business.
