This was Bill Phillips' biggest seller. But for my money, two years earlier he released a single on Decca called Wheeling Dealing Daddy that definitely ranks as one of the most perfect country records ever made, bar none. Yes, it's that good. He is greatly, greatly missed.
This response is to PaulinaRena. My group (Country Tradition) of 21 years that I retired in 2004 always wore matching uniforms for every show. I got so used to seeing this growing up with country music and thought it was so professional that I wouldn't have it any other way. We played nothing but classic country and you wouldn't believe the response we got everywhere we went. It's like people were starved for real country music and professionally dressed entertainers. I will always miss it.
Thanks so much for posting this one. I've heard these two sing this in person a couple of times in years gone by. Some people may not know, Ruby Wright is Kitty Well's daughter. FIVE STARS!
Musicians are: Farris Coursey-drums, Joe Zinkan-bass, Jerry Whitehurst-piano (not visible in video), Spider Wilson-guitar in center, Jerry Byrd-steel, Walter Haynes-guitar (to the right of Spider) This song was written by Dolly Parton and her Uncle Bill Owens--Bill Phillips and Ruby sounded so great-sorry that Ruby passed away this past Sunday.
I do think this is also from the movie "Road to Nashville". This is a movie I would love to see. There are so many country music stars in it that it's a wonder the whole place didn't glow. This is a wonderful song and done so well by Ruby and Bill. Thank you for posting. - Paula
