Well as far as the whole "marginal singer" thing goes, I guess not everyone can appreciate real music for what it is.. But I guess we all have our own opinion.. She may have been beautiful, but she packed a serious honky-tonk sound!!
@latokatn506 Leona was a great singer, sorta in between a Connie Smith and a Tammy Wynette, but she never had a big hit which is why she never made it big.
@jameyisnumber1 What do you say about "Yes Ma'am", or even "The Bull and The Beaver" which was a duet with Merle? She was also a phenominal song writer with greats like "Dallas"--Connie Smith, "Get Whatcha Got And Go",--Loretta Lynn, or even the two number one hits of Merle Haggard, "You Take Me For Granted", and "Someday, When things Are Good". Leona is a powerhouse artist who was never given much of a chance. Today, she's in high demand, here and across the sea. Awesome lady!
that's not dave and sugar, its sugar and Merle

@JadeMichelleJack She was a marginal singer, but she sure was pretty ... and a great figure.

I disagree, Jimmy Fields. Merle was just being himself - the guy she married.
