he was the greatest ! overlooked by billboard to keep main stream singers on top back in the 60's and early 70's ,most likely billboard was payed off to do this .

This was my husband and my favorite song. We were married in 1964.

[@davidfbegin]

Cindy Walker 1918-2006, Country & Texas Hall of Fame, wrote this song. First success was Bing Crosby 1940 at only 22 when she walked into his studio. Her mother came with her, played the piano to do the demo. Mom remained her partner in writing poetry & music. They spent summer in Nashville promoting her songs to various artists. Jim Reeves also sang "In the Misty Moonlight". She never married but lived with Mom most of her life who was born before 1900 lived into her nineties dieing in 1991.

Her 1st recorded song was 'Lone Star Trail' recorded by Bing Crosby in 1940 released on Decca Records in 1941.

Thank you so much. Had not heard this one in years. Used to shine shoes as a 7 year old in the many taverns in Chicago's Uptown community back when it was Hillbilly Heaven and Redskin Row. These great country songs would be playing on the jukebox. My mom would listen to WJJD in the kitchen. In those days, you had WLS top 40, WGRT Soul, Super CFL top 40, and WJJD country one after the other on the AM dial. Great music gone but not forgotten.

[@larkpraise]

Absolutely beautiful! Haven't heard this before!

[@ronaldsolberg6231]

I'm beginning to think that the reason they don't have music like this anymore is because it has just been set aside for the ones that lived in the time or enjoyed music in that time. Somewhere the mold got broke and a new generation was formed but could never crack the code to the best music ever. not only the music but the cars, the dress. We were a different class back them and it don't look like it will ever be copied.

[@MrTrashcan1]

@Ronald Solberg Ronald, I couldn't agree more. BTW, did you know that the original last name of the singer\actor David Soul was Solberg? Any relation?

Let me try to post what I originally wanted to. When I was stationed in Tongduchon, Korea in 1966-67, this song echoed through the narrow dirt streets of the village by the record shops. I had a beautiful girlfriend in such a faraway place. Hearing this song anyday, takes me back to Korea and great memories. Thank you Jerry Wallace. Steve Holinka of Jersey City
