If what is hawked now as Country Music, had been the first I ever heard, I would chosen Opra for my music of choice rather than OPRE as in Grand Ole. Tammy's Apartment #9 and Stand By Your Man set the standards for the time. George Jones with or without Tammy, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn and Porter and Dolly were the artests that set the bar and the nowdays Country cannot ever reach the bar.
I've seen a 45 of this song, and it's just Johnny Paycheck credited with writing. True? Who knows? But I can believe it. BTW, did you ever notice how the great songs are written in, like 20 minutes? And the ones that suck took hours or days as some poor tunesmith struggles to meet his/her contractual obligations?
I first began to listen to Tammy in 1968 when her Apartment # 9, Stand By Your Man and DIVORCE were at the top. She was the Queen then and her memories and songs still are tops. That era of Country music still had a story to relate and the modern Country is just grunting and singing off key intentionally. No story to tell anymore.
@Drydaddy I agree - well said. I'm a huge Jerry Reed fan and that is about the time he made it to the top, too, while still playing sessions for other big-name stars as he had been for years, and they were all legends, then, and so irresistible to listen to. Tammy had such a magnetic kind of hurt in her voice which makes you unable to stop listening, I find, and she was so real and so professional. Such a shame all these wonderful talents who were so real are now gone.
Johnny Paycheck-Bobby Austin were the songwriters. I Googled them, can't put links in here, unfortunately, but as the story goes, Bobby Austin released this single first, and it enjoyed some chart success before Tammy put out this timeless version. Johnny Paycheck was then named Donny Young. Sources were Wikipedia, Songwriters Hall Of Fame and R&B Hall Of Fame/Bobby Austin.
Apartment #9 was Tammy's first single. It only went to #44, but has endured to become a country music classic. Songwriting credits go to PAYCHECK, FOLEY, OWEN, and yes that is Tammy doing her own harmony.
@flashbell Song Title: Apartment #9, HFA Song Code: A68979, Publishers: Dream City Music and Owen Publications, Writers: Paycheck, Foley, Owen. If you have a beef with the songwriters listed, tell it to the publishers.
i used to listen to my dads tammy wynette albums when i was drunk and miserable, it was my lula-bye to sleep. some how hearing her voice made everything alright, now i just enjoy hearing it !!!!!!
@flashbell Usually - and in the United Kingdom in which I grew up, we address someone we don't know, by using their title first. Therefore it wouldn't be 'Wynette', it'd be Miss or Mrs. Wynette, or Miss. Tammy Wynette, perhaps. To use the name 'Paycheck' just on its own is not, to us, polite. Hope this clarifies my comment? :-) I suppose its just down to the different way in which we use the English language. Didn't mean to offend you, I should have put a :-) after my original comment. :-)
@peggifrancis...From the early to mid-1960s, he also enjoyed some success as a songwriter for others, with his biggest songwriting hit being "Apartment #9", which served as Tammy Wynette's first chart hit in December 1967.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
One of my favorite Tammy songs. One mild subtlety I have always been drawn to in this song is the hypnotic tone and timing of the rhythm guitar. Somehow just really adds an element of lonesome behind Tammy's singing.
I'm not much for country music, but just listening to this song now. Brings back memories of my grandparents (God rest their souls) and all my uncles singing this song, Gooosh, those were the good ol days.
After hearing this song again I had to take a moment. Ms Swift, do you really think you' re country? Music row does. Shame on them. Money people. Sell their only child to Satan for a Buck. What people today take as country is a shame. Darius Rucker? Please!!! Zack Brown??? My head gets hot from his wool skull cap. Can we say gimmick? Get the point? Bullshit artist with limited talent. But, people buy it. If you are thirsty in the desert, you WILL drink the sand. I ain' t thirsty.
I love this song by Tammy, and I also love to hear her daughter Georgette sing the song. Both are equally wonderful. Tammy, you are still loved and missed. I am so glad your music still lives on .
@RImusclebear Incredible is an undersatement. I keep the record next to my player in my man cave and I put it on any chance I get just to here that intro. Thanks for the info.
@rkb1941 Not trying to dispute the other person who answered you, but I do believe it was Pete Drake doing the steel on this, as he did most of the steel on Tammy's records. One exception was DIVORCE, which featured the incredibly talented Lloyd Green on steel.
This is REAL TRUE country, not the nonsense you hear these days. Those steel guitars sound fantastic. Tammy is a true testament to real country music.
Get A life "Channel policy" I like hearing all comments good or bad.. This is a beautifull song written by Johnny Paycheck and sung by the true Queen of country.. The emotions in Tammy's voice are the likes of which will never be reproduced..
she just don't sing the song she lives the song tammy takes you from where you sitting listening to her song, could be riding in your car, or listening to u tube...and she take you out of your seat thru the radio waves or whatever they call them today right to her side and she sings right to you and you look into her eyes and smile and when the song ends your ready to applaude with the rest of the audience then it happens and the song is over and your back in your seat again
i love this song the thing with country is it;s so beautiful. today country music is good but it will neva be lyk it was country legends such as tammy wynette,dolly parton,shania twian,tanya tucker,lorette lynne ect ect ect there music is about how they grew up there life it has a meaning and listening to there songs and music makes u wonder i knw it does me i love listening to great country but with the country singers today there music dont feel real dont have meaning like these RIP tammy x
Oh how I Love To Listen To Tammy Whynette, And The Country Stars Such As Jim reeves, Faron Young, Connie Smith, ETC. Im 15 Years Old But I Find That These Are The Best Songs. I DO NOT LIKE TODAYS MUSIC. Great Song Tammy!! :-)
Even though we see what has happened in Nashville, does no good to complain. The old music we so enjoyed is not coming back. Generational differences causes changes. Having said all of that what bothers me most is that they call this new pap "country music". those of us old enough to have witnessed the past greats find it hard to see what was created by these talented folk has devolved into looks and sales. O.K. sermon over. Flashbell U shouldn't allow preachers like me a forum lol
@Bojac3 I Can Say Bojac3 Knows What he is Talking About In The Music Field. My husband Was Connie Smith's Steel Player And He Also Played With a Lot Of Others, My How Our Country Music Has Changed, So You Keep Remindin People How Great It Was,I Really Don't Care For The (NEW) Country Music Either. But Theirs Nothing WE Can Do, A Song Is Not A Song Without That Steel...I Loved The Old Country Music..And I Knew A Lot Of Them, Uoh Tellin My Age..Lol..I'll Go Now....
Yes this is real country pure unadulturated deep home country, these days it has gone mainstream, nothing wrong that if it is kept purely with its roots original style, since the late 90s and 21st centuary has become quite manufactured and losing the essence of its authenticity. Thirty three years of a country fan and while like the latest artists it cannot beat this.

love this song,just moved out of apt 9,kinda crazy,my daughter sings this song ,and all the greats that i was brought up listning to with my daddy who played guitar and wrote alot of songs in the 40a50s AND60s,70s,i MISS HIM SO MUCH..LOVE YA DADDY,STILL HAVE YOUR GRANDAUGHTER SINGING ALL THE OLD CLASSICS SHE DOES GREAT..YOU WOULD BE PROUD, i am...
@olstuf33 I had the pleasure of recording with Johnny Paycheck on Little Darlin Records in 1969. He did write that song1 And Tammy did her usual great job of singing it!--Lee
shame on country. Taylor Swift and Darius Rucker? Is this a joke? Too bad, so sad, they don' t cut it. Everbody wants to be country without being country. Doesn' t work. Judge foryourself
Just to give credit where credit is due, this song was written by Bobby Austin and Johnny Paycheck. The story that was told at the time was that Paycheck added the "Loneliness surrounds me," line to what Bobby had written. That's the story Bobby told anyway.
btw: is anybody else dying to get their hands on that new biography coming out in March ??!! "Tammy Wynette: Tragic Country Queen" They have it for pre-order already and the cover pic is my absolute fave picture of Tammy ever.
Listen this is country, the likes of taylor swift and carrie are singing is pop music and is labelled as country, Tammy, Loretta, Jonny etc grew up picking cotton till their fingers blead and looked aqfter younger brothers and sisters, that was their childhood that is were the real country songs came from and from marriage breakups. Taylor etc grew up in shopping malls and cell phones.
Tammy was the greatest and her voice was just out of this world, Country music is dying out with the legends.
@MyJustified I agree totally,i tell my daughter this all the time,since she was very young,shes still yng,helll shes only a teenager,she sings all the old country greats like i taught her..im so glad she appreciates tammy,patsy.bobbie gentry etc...
Have to be carfull with mhy response.after 5 shots of Jose and 6 Coors Lights. I think I have it. Please excuse if I offend. Taylor is young? Has not matured? lol She is what she is. She ai't no Tammy. Never will be. Enjoy it while you have it.
Taylor is a sweet little talented girl. God bless her. But she ain' t country. Damn the business passing her off as that. I don' t like labels such asQueen of or King of.thats just a label.
Ms Wynette is a talent that is beyound reproach. Hard to stand up to her. Life songs are sung by people that have lived life. GET IT? Ms Wynette, you will always be a bar that others only reach to achieve. Thank you so much for your memories
Thanks for the posting. George jones said the first time he heard Tammy sing it he was driving and was so struck with awe that he had to pull over and listen.
The problem with AMERICA today is a person can't even go to an Old beer bar to shoot pool , smoke, and drink whilst playing A-11 to hear this tune! I have to settle listening to it in my garage busting knuckles on my '29 Ford with the air filled with exhaust, Cigar smoke, and Gentleman Jack to keep the fire burning for Tammy!!!
@WinstonsPapa would love to come and hang out with you... my parents got us kids hooked on country music back in the 70s.. my dad was a trucker and I would go with him in the truck back in the day when 8 track tapes were in style lol...and he had all the great country singers on 8 track...so a lot of these songs bring back amazing memories ! Happy Holidays WinstonsPapa :-)
@rhymeandreasoning I have plenty of 8 tracks with the likes of Tammy, Loretta, George jones etc... that I would love to share it with you, since my last 8 track player broke. ; )
This song reminds me of the time my one and only stood me up one evening.......I don't think I'd ever been so heartbroken before. I was just a sad girl living in Atlanta. :(
I'm ashamed to admit that I'm 54 years old and have never really listened to Tammy until recently. She has such a beautiful pure voice. Simply amazing! I could listen to this song all night long.
how did the mailcarrier deliver your mail to that cave you were living in when she was making all those hits in the late sixties and throughout the seventies????
damn straight girl --- the crap that these so called "country" hos be singing today cant compare --- the two patsy's , kitty , early loretta and early dolly and of course the always great emmylou
If what is hawked now as Country Music, had been the first I ever heard, I would chosen Opra for my music of choice rather than OPRE as in Grand Ole. Tammy's Apartment #9 and Stand By Your Man set the standards for the time.

Why would anyone have anything bad to say about Tammy? She was a truly great voice that stood out from the crowd of "also sang" singers.

@olstuf33 I had the pleasure of recording with Johnny Paycheck on Little Darlin Records in 1969. He did write that song1 And Tammy did her usual great job of singing it!--Lee

shame on country. Taylor Swift and Darius Rucker? Is this a joke? Too bad, so sad, they don' t cut it. Everbody wants to be country without being country. Doesn' t work. Judge foryourself

Just to give credit where credit is due, this song was written by Bobby Austin and Johnny Paycheck. The story that was told at the time was that Paycheck added the "Loneliness surrounds me," line to what Bobby had written. That's the story Bobby told anyway.

btw: is anybody else dying to get their hands on that new biography coming out in March ??!! "Tammy Wynette: Tragic Country Queen" They have it for pre-order already and the cover pic is my absolute fave picture of Tammy ever.

thechef42 2 years ago 3
Listen this is country, the likes of taylor swift and carrie are singing is pop music and is labelled as country, Tammy, Loretta, Jonny etc grew up picking cotton till their fingers blead and looked aqfter younger brothers and sisters, that was their childhood that is were the real country songs came from and from marriage breakups. Taylor etc grew up in shopping malls and cell phones.
Tammy was the greatest and her voice was just out of this world, Country music is dying out with the legends.

Taylor is a sweet little talented girl. God bless her. But she ain' t country. Damn the business passing her off as that. I don' t like labels such asQueen of or King of.thats just a label.
Ms Wynette is a talent that is beyound reproach. Hard to stand up to her. Life songs are sung by people that have lived life. GET IT? Ms Wynette, you will always be a bar that others only reach to achieve. Thank you so much for your memories

The problem with AMERICA today is a person can't even go to an Old beer bar to shoot pool , smoke, and drink whilst playing A-11 to hear this tune! I have to settle listening to it in my garage busting knuckles on my '29 Ford with the air filled with exhaust, Cigar smoke, and Gentleman Jack to keep the fire burning for Tammy!!!

@WinstonsPapa would love to come and hang out with you... my parents got us kids hooked on country music back in the 70s.. my dad was a trucker and I would go with him in the truck back in the day when 8 track tapes were in style lol...and he had all the great country singers on 8 track...so a lot of these songs bring back amazing memories ! Happy Holidays WinstonsPapa :-)
