Tammy Wynette


Recommended Posts

So,

 

I've been listening to Tammy Wynette all morning and I have to say that her songs have provoked an array of emotions in me. Tammy is the only Country artist to be able to do this to me because she really means what she sings and half of her songs are based on her own life with George Jones. Songs I listened to today are:

 

Stand By Your Man

D-I-V-O-R-C-E

One (With George Jones)

If We Never Love Again

Take Me To Your World

Satan Sheets

Almost Persuaded

 

Anyone else a fan of Tammy Wynette? She truly is the First Lady Of Country :cry:

 

R.I.P Tammy - We miss your wonderful personality and your amazing performances.

#2 - Tammy Wynette - The 'First Lady' of American Music

 

My mum's ultimate favourite singer growing up, Queen Tammy was a revelation to me. Lets get a history lesson here: Tammy Wynette scored more #1 singles during the 1960's than any other female artist. Tammy Wynette is the first female artist in American music history to score a million selling album. Tammy Wynette was the first female singer-songwriter to impact the mainstream charts, and her influence on Country music and the wider music industry is still being felt today. Make no mistake, she pioneered the female singer-songwriter template and it is because of Tammy and other Country female musicians of that era, that it became acceptable for a female artist to write AND sing their own songs. She's a legend, she's a pioneer, she's an icon, a megastar and a much missed figure in music. Nobody's music - not even the artist that ranks ahead of her in this countdown - has the emotional impact on me that Tammy's does. I've invested countless hours into her music, her life story, her background and her part in music history, and I just love her! Phenomenal.

 

Top 20 favourite Tammy Wynette songs:

 

01. Precious Memories

02. Woman to Woman

03. Run, Woman, Run

04. Singing My Song

05. 'Til I Can Make It On My Own

06. My Man [understands]

07. Near You

08. The Ways To Love A Man

09. Justified and Ancient

10. Good Lovin' [Makes It Right]

11. He Loves Me All The Way

12. My Elusive Dreams

13. You and Me

14. Stand By Your Man

15. Golden Ring

16. I Don't Wanna Play House

17. Take Me To Your World

19. Kids Say The Darndest Things

20. D.I.V.O.R.C.E.

Céline Dion, music's greatest ever singer, the biggest-selling Canadian artist of all-time and most successful female live act ever - what's not to love?

Wow, you sure know a lot about her. You are a true fan. I'm delighted you like her. I've been playing her songs all day and feeling different emotions. I adore "Take Me To Your World" and "No Charge".

To tell the truth, here in Poland country music isn't something widely popular and played in our radio stations. :blush:

Do they play Taylor Swift or is it the Pop Mixes of her songs?

 

Anywho back on topic, the only reason why I bought an 8track player was Tammy Wynette. I had found the Stand By Your Man album in my grandma's attic and I didn't know it was released on CD. :sofunny:

Glad you like Tammy :)
