I can't listen to this song written and performed by Tammy Wynette without getting misty. They said she had a "tear" in her voice, and here she conveys all the vunerability that connected her with her audience. We've all been there -- heartbroken and clingy, and trying to survive another dark day -- pleading with our lost love for just a little recognition.
They'll never be another Tammy . . . legend has it she wrote this song in fifteen minutes, similar to the way she wrote "Stand by Your Man" (she hated the high note, and would later say she wrote it in 15 minutes, and has been defending it for 15 years) -- off the cuff, and straight from the heart on her sleeve.
That's Country Music folks. That's Tammy Wynette.
