who really did write this song?

[flashbell]

@ahhm, Bobby Austin & Johnny Paycheck.

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]

@morningsidemgt , Foley and Owen did not write this song, period!

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..

[flashbell]

@peggifrancis , Stop misleading viewers with your false statement. Paycheck wrote this song.

@MrSirDel How can that be when its a country music song written by a country artist?

[Drydaddy]

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.

@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.

@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. :-)

[flashbell]

@Factnotfictionpeople , I don't understand your comment, please clarify.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

@flashbell That'd be 'Mr. Paycheck' then, eh? Such disrespect.........

[MrSirDel]

Here I go pissing people off again..I know it's a Tammy Wynette song but the best version is MELISSA ETHERIDGE...so where is it...Sorry folks

[swampzoid]

Tammy possesed the most emotional voice i 've ever heard.
