Jack's studio version was a slow tempo, but he did a live version that was a little faster than Mel's version. I always thought it was more of a Honky Tonk song anyhow, but the slower version is good too.
Mel sounds wonderful . Everything he does is a winner. I've always liked this song. It's just perfect country gold. The backup singers and the band are terrific and this is one song that sounds so good no matter who sings it I feel. It's just one of those gems that we are privileged to hear when we're lucky. Thank you for posting this. - Paula
Oh thank you for posting this song. I didn't even know that Mel Street had ever recorded it. I have the original by the great Jack Greene, and Mel performs it just as well, and at a slightly faster tempo. Mel Street is a Country "Gem".
Lord,,,this song is so great and sung so well by old Mel,,,he always turns every song into a hit

One of my favorites by him; he is really missed by this traditional country fan! :) FIVE stars!

Thanks for putting these on Youtube. Nashivlle has certainly murdered country music!

Mel was so great. This is one of my favorite songs and hearing him do it is pure heaven. Thanks to spadinajack for turning me onto it.

Sometimes Mel gets his hooks on just the right song and you can't help but like it.

Glad you found something of Mel's that you like, finally.
I refer to you as the agent provacateur of Street fans! You keep us on our toes.
