Great. I have a question though and hope somebody can help. I got to know this song as "Woman, BEAUTIFUL Woman." What happened to that "beautiful" part, where and why was the word SENSUAL used? I think I still have the single on vinyl of the beautiful version. I remember it so well, because at my wedding it was used as our song for opening the dance floor because it was such a magnificent song.

@gcc639 , I believe you are confusing this song with another. 

[gcc639]

@flashbell Nope not confusing it with any other song. I KNOW what was played at my wedding, coz I was the DJ and listed the music. I have the song somewhere.

[flashbell]

@gcc639 , Well if you locate it I'd like to hear it. I have been listening to this song since it charted in June, 1972 and I don't know any other version.

This is a great version, but Mark Chesnutt does it best!!



[flashbell]

@hereintherealworld1 , Thiis isn't a version. This is the original by Don Gibson. Chesnut can't put the feel into it like Don. This song was written for Don Gibson. Chesnutt does good with his own original songs, like Too Cold at Home.

This guy is great! I never knew of Don Gibson before...Im only 35, but I know what true country is -- and this is it! I hate today's country music with a passion....I love these classic country songs....I'm a big George Jones, Conway Twitty, Hank jr., Ferlin Husky, etc. fan, but I have to add Don Gibson to that mix now.....

A #1 hit for Don Gibson on the Country & Western charts. This was the 237th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks charts. When this song hit #1, I was mourning the sudden death of my grandfather (August 16, 1972). Beside farming all of his life, he also played the fiddle. He played for square dances at his home and in the area. To Don and PaPa: We love you and miss you. Thank you for the memories.

I agree with MikeG above - same sentiments! Heard this song first back in the early 70s and have always loved it...and it was always Sensual, not Beautiful

Listen to this song and in the twinkling of an eye, I am ten years old again sitting in the back seat of a car hearing it on the radio ('72 version). Not many songs can do that.
