    Mel Tillis was a gentleman thru and thru besides having a golden voice. Being a stutterer myself at times severe, I thought I’d write to him and ask him if his stutter bothered him or was he used to it as his trade mark. I never thought he’d have the time to answer. Well I received a 2 page handwritten response in which he told me about the up hill battle in the beginning because of his stutter. He went into some detail about how mean people can be - but he made it because his talent as a singer shown through. He really was a phenomenal example of the possibilities even with that affliction that has affected millions of people some of whom hide it well and some that can’t. Thank you Mel and I for one will miss you ever so much and thanks for the pep talk. A truly wonderful and talented man.

      @@wizzardofpaws2420 you are correct. Singing erases stuttering but unfortunately you cannot sing your way thru life. Watch the movie Every Which Way But Loose He’s in it singing in a bar one of his most famous tunes beautifully. Then he has to introduce Sandra Locke and at first there’s a long pause and then he got it out. Really cute. He and Eastwood were friends I gather And the second tune, he sang in the movie was Coca-Cola cowboy when they got to the part where the words go he’s got an Eastwood smile and Robert Redford hair. They changed the words so it went something like he has a real nice smile and Robert Redford hair, I guess at the request of Clint. The letter that I received from Mel was not a boiler plate computerized print out, but it was a handwritten letter two pages in which he was truly thankful to talk to fellows stutter in the letter. He describes how when he auditioned as a newcomer he was brushed off with a thank younext and never given a chance until somehow, he managed to talk his way into it, probably by his singing, which which is truly remarkable

    This really shows how great Mel’s voice and versatility really was. He was loved by everyone. Countrypolitan. I was just thinking about my lady and how she was everything a man like me could ever dream of, everything, but she died from breast cancer after 16 years of something most of my friends haven’t had 16 days of. It was real true love from God.

I heard this song on an eight track tape that my mom taped a bunch of songs from a record. I think that his music and his memories will live on forever. His daughter Pam Tillis put out a lot of great music too. She is really great too

I didn't listen to country music at that time and today I just ran across an old radio survey from the late winter of 1979 and am hearing this song for the first time!

    When I was thirteen, I used to sit between my parents while we drove down the road in our station wagon. When KRAM would play this song, I would sing along with it. I grew up on all the Country Gold of that era. I still sing it at karaoke bars here in Vegas. People love it. I get a lot of handshakes and slaps on the back when I finish singing the old greats.

      Can you imagine how Country will sound in 30 years? Maybe straight techno or something, and that might even make today's Country sound real good. I actually don't know how Country can get any worse from here, but we'll find out in about 5 years time. Yes, this song does have some Pop influence; but unlike Today's Country, it's just the perfect blend of Country and Pop elements.

    This song saddens me. My lady was a wonderful woman and mother of my children. Most unfortunately there were grave differences in our physical desires and proclivities and I strayed, searching for something I thought was missing in my life. I strayed many times in my quest, Each time there was sadness in my heart that my "Lady" could not respond with true passion. This song brings back memories of my quest that was unfulfilled with others. My "Lady" was a good "Lady"
