Greetings from Asheville, where today, we look back at a Tammy Wynette release for our Single Of The Day.
One of country music’s greatest female vocalists, Tammy scored thirty-nine top ten hits, during her career, but all but three came during the the 1967-1979 period. Only three times would she make the top ten, afterwards, two of those efforts were duets with George Jones and Mark Gray. Today’s single was from the 1980′s, 1984, to be exact, but spent only a week on the Country 40. ”Lonely Heart” was release in early Summer, but could only muster a peak at forty, in July.
The song is an up tempo piece, a country-pop sound pretty typical of that era. I actually think it’s one of her better singles of that time, a stronger piece than even some of the singles that broke into the Country 20.
Your thoughts?
Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
