Kitty Wells & Johnny Wright ~ Living As Strangers

Somewhere between the greed for money and sound judgment, the legends of country music were tossed aside for the outlandish sound they call country music today.

I think it was Tom Petty who said that "today's country is nothing but bad rock bands with a fiddles".

If this ain't country,I guess there never was country.R.I.P. Johnny at 97.

RIP Johnny Wright. His marriage to Kitty Wells is something I always found so inspiring. He was 97 and she is now 92. They were married for 74 years and 11 months. That is something that takes not only love but commitment. That is something that is lacking in the vast majority of marriages today. As soon as the road gets rough or temptation rears its ugly head, commitment goes out the window. I am sure Johnny & Kitty faced many problems in their lives but they emerged victorious.

@MoJoPiano after Kitty Wells.. there is no one! My fav singer to this day!

This is one of the few songs I knew Johnny Wright to sing with Kitty, who by the way is Kitty's husband and the former part of Johnny and Jack. Jack was killed on the day of Patsy Clines funeral and ended the duo's then popular hits on the scene. Johnny well into his 90's made shows with Kitty. It was Johnny who was a D.J. at the time who coined the name Kitty Wells for the singer after he told her she needed a easy to remember name...Kitty Wells was until then the neame of an old slave song.
