Willie Nelson wrote this song and OFFERED to sell it to Faron Young for 50 bucks. Faron Said.."WILLIE THIS IS GOING TO BE A HIT"..DON"T SELL IT . I WILL LET YOU BORROW THE MONEY. SIX MONTHS LATER FARON WAS SITTING ON THE BAR STOOL AT TOOTSIE"S AND SOMEONE CAME UP AND GRABBED HIM TURNED HIM AROUND AND KISSED HIM IN THE MOUTH! IT WAS WILLIE HE HAD GOTTEN HIS FIRST ROYALTY CHECK FROM "HELLO WALLS" ...Made Faron A #1 and Willie a lot of money.
IVE BEEN TOLD THIS SONG WAS BOUT SUM NEEDIN A HIT SO 2 GET WILLIE 2 WRITE IT HE SHOVED WILLIE IN A ROOM SO HE CALLED IT "HELLO WALLS"...IT MIGHT B A ROOMER THOUGH
Yes Faron Young recorded this song but it was Willie who composed it. Willie is an all time great song writer and artist. Many songs written by Willie were recorded by others and sometimes he doesn't get enough credit for his writing talents. He will always be one of the greatest songwriters in country music!
WOW.. I really enjoy this tender version, and hadn't heard it before! I love the one with female back-up singers and the tinkling piano adding great accents... THANKS for posting
Willie Nelson. Next to Godliness.

The photo here is just the way Willie looked in the late 60's at Panther Hall in Fort Worth.
