written by Cindy Walker based on a title and storyline given to her by Eddy Arnold in 1955. My mother requested this song, and I was heavily inspired by versions of this great song from Ray Charles, Floyd Cramer, Manfred Mann, Rick Nelson, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Bette Midler, Mickey Gilley (my favorite version), Juice Newton, Don McLean, Charlie Rich, Emmylou Harris, B.B. King, Van Morrison, Kenny Rogers, Jennifer Warnes, Anne Murray, Michael Bolton, Harry Connick Jr, Michael Bublé, Aaron Neville, Willie Nelson, Michael McDonald, Michael Grimm, Ronnie Dunn, Alison Krauss, Crystal Gayle, and Ray Stevens. Played on a Gibson Hummingbird.
