I love this track and IMO is one of Tammy Wynette's best performances. Timeless.
Fautless vocal
Tammy keep Singing Your Song.
RIP

@moproducer I don't mean to take anything away from Tammy; this won earned her a CMA Female Vocalist award, and I do mean that she earned it. If you strip this song down to its melody and lyrics, it ain't a winner...as a matter of fact, it's a poorly written song. But Tammy had a set of pipes that wouldn't quit, and I'd be willing to bet that she could belt out a killer version of Ave Maria if she had to.
What she did with the chorus sold the song, got me listening, and I've never stopped.

This is Tammy at her best, but it's also Billy Sherrill at his best. His background was in classical and baroque music, and it showed in the depth of layering and texture of his productions.
Sherrill had his own Nashville A-crew of pickers, and I believe they could read his mind. A Sherrill session would be a rehearsal, a take, and it would be done; then move on to the next cut.
You listen to this 42 years later, and you realize what an accomplishment that truly was.

My feelings are like others,She is One of ,if not the Best ! of the Best !!!



Modern singers could really learn a lot by studying their predecessors. I can't think of any contemporary singer who has such a complete mastery of her craft as Tammy Wynette. Rather than resorting to cheap or dishonest embellishments, Wynette's vocal style is a study in subtlety; She can raise goosebumps on your arm with a simple skeletal phrase, a plaintive whisper, or build indescribable tension and emotion with nothing more than a skillfully timed pause!
