Tammy Wynette
Skating Rink, Waltham, Massachusetts, 1976
Country singers often live soap-opera-like personal
lives and no one typifies this more than Tammy Wynette. She was as
a part-time beautician, had major hit songs, married and divorced
megastar George Jones, and constantly battled major health problems,
which eventually killed her in 1998 at age 57. Tammy was best known
for "Stand by Your Man," known as Hillary Clinton's least
favorite song. Other hits included "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go
Bad," "I Don’t Wanna Play House," and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E,"
as well as memorable duets with George Jones, such as "Golden
Ring" and "We're Gonna Hold On." |
