Today it was this one...out of the blue. Where does it even come from? (I've posted it before) Hmmph! Young whipper-snappers messing with an old classic! 4 1 1 Link to comment

Also perhaps the best Vietnam war song, and truest? My opinion anyway. What an authentic songwriter... 6 hours ago, Ghostsof1915 said: LOL, speaking of tears. (How is that for fun parenting @-DLC- ) I used to play this every time my oldest daughter was in trouble as a kid. And she ''knew!'' Even funnier, she still hates it when I play this! 2 1 1 1 Link to comment

UnkNuk Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 This day in music history: August 28, 1968: Tammy Wynette recorded 'Stand By Your Man' at Epic studios after an idea that came from producer, Billy Sherrill. Wynette and Sherril completed the song in 15 minutes. It proved to be the most successful record of Wynette's career and is one of the most covered songs in the history of country music. The song has appeared in various films, including: Five Easy Pieces, The Blues Brothers, The Crying Game, Sleepless in Seattle, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Golden Eye. https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/ 1 1 Link to comment
UnkNuk Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Somewhat unbelievable, but this was the top song of 1965 according to Billboard Magazine: 3 Link to comment

I cannot tell you how much I really needed to hear this song today! Thank you for this wee moment with my Dad who has been gone for far too long... he LOVED this song.... it was one of those 'accidental' buys through Columbia Record House way back in the day...the album that never got sent back in time so he decided to play it and was hooked!! 3 Link to comment

We used to be able to pick up a signal from a radio station KJA, in Spokane Wash, back in the late 60's. The had a DJ who went by the name Shane, he would close his show with this song, Barbara Streisands' "people", and a few others. This station had 50K watts and carried up into the Interior of BC loud and clear. I had an old tube radio, that worked just awesome. 2 1 Link to comment
