Roger just had a cool-sounding voice..period! Even Disney used him. I am 47 now & we played Roger's music while driving , going on vacations when I was young. Always kept Me & my Brother quiet...except 4 singing along. Back then we used 8-track-tapes & We would always yell..."Track-1..Track-1" , becuz that was the track THIS SONG was on! Roger 's voice never got old. I wish He was still around , He was so creative! He might go years without a hit & BOOM , He was back on top again.Very talented!

Of the at least two dozen versions of this song I have heard, none top this. Mel Tillis did indeed write it, many have recorded it, but to me, it belongs to Roger. Any other version simply pales in comparison. I'm sure some "Killers" fans will disagree, but they simply did a remake of the "First Edition's" version. Roger made it his own.
