    It’s so sad how many good singers left country music because of “the business” controlling the music they would produce. It knocked the soul out of country music. Some were strong enough to fight it , Like Willie, but others just didn’t know how. What we’re left with is music that isn’t country. They should have their own genre, cause it ain’t country.

    Ricky is one of the best singers Nashville ever saw...sad that today's "stars" don't realize it...Can't think of a current male vocalist who can touch his range or emotion...I spent twenty five years in Nashville area radio and worked around and knew a lot of the artists throughout the eighties...today's so called talent is nowhere close..

      Randy Miller it was a Great time to be alive, and an enthusiast of all things country. I immersed myself in the whole scene after having divorced my wife of 18 1/2 years, and 3 children. She was going through some troubling times emotionally, and I didn't have the tolerance to endure the residuals of it At that time . I had no idea then that had I looked inward at myself, I would have related to this song at the time, and tried harder to save the marriage of two young, and very much in love people that were meant for each other. We had 3 beautiful daughters that we collectively let down, due to anger and stubborness. My point being In retrospect, I should have built.a statue of a fool, in my image, for not having the wisdom to see beyond the short term satisfaction of revenge, instead of recociliation. If hind sight were 20/20, I'd have been blind! We now realize our mistake, and are deeply in love , though still apart. This is my epitaph to myself.
