The veteran songstress went in the Monument Records studio and she recorded that classic country ballad. That recording would change her life and country music. In the following month, he single debuted on the Billboard country charts, where it charted for over five months; moreover, it went to No. 1 on the Record World and Cashbox charts, and it crossed over to the national pop charts.
