Heehee ok I can’t be the only one who was a total dirtbag at this time? 😂 I mean we were gorgeous and brilliant and amazing (I did get my MA & was a lesbian avenger back then) but there were also a lot of drug deals in dirty club bathrooms, a spot of alcoholism, someone who lived in a weird startup thrift store or a punk flophouse, way too much ooo la la with strangers, oh good lord I used to distribute condoms & dental dams in bars - casual sex, & I hated going with people to buy coke, it was so scary! Never tried it, but god knows I was always somewhere I shouldn’t be… I mean I drink three times a year now, smoke weed legally & that’s it but I remember a bunch of us on the dance floor also being really kind of trashy… please tell me I’m not the only one! (Also I’m now realizing I knew several hustlers & the thrift store was probably also a front for money laundering, I was seriously always the country bumpkin in the middle of shenanigans & was so clueless nobody worried about me telling cuz I really didn’t notice some serious crime around me…I also learned recently that I participated in a drug trafficking ring without knowing a thing, so hopefully I actually am an outlier lol)

[@bellissimo4520]

I didn't notice for a long time that when Tammy is shown singing in the video, all the fast scrolling text is listing all her achievements as a singer... and deservedly so!

[@MrUnidyne]

In case you can't read the scrolling messages: Miss Tammy Wynette. 25 years in the business. 11 consecutive No. 1 albums. 20 No. 1 singles. 5 times voted C.M.A. (Country Music Association) Female Vocalist of the Year. "Stand By Your Man" still the biggest-selling Country song of all time. 2 Grammy Awards. 5 marriages, 3 children. First lady in the world to sell more than 1 million copies of one album. June 10th 1991, presented with the most coveted Living Legend Award sponsored by T.N.N. (The Nashville Network) and Music City News. Miss Tammy Wynette is the most successful female Country singer ever. Miss Tammy Wynette IS the First Lady of Country.

I remembered this song because of Tammy Wynette. She was the 1st artist from country music to do a song of this magnitude with hip hop artists. I felt she should have been commended for that back then as well now.

What a fantastic trip down memory lane! The fusion of each genre including, country, 90’s pop, African beats and rap was a match made in HEAVEN! This will remain timeless and is a shining example Of what happens when such a fusion of differences comes together and creates MAGIC ❤

Tammy took a LOT of &*@% from the old school country music establishment for doing this at that time. She refused to back down, and indeed, DID stand by the jam. She was a great lady who experienced success and enormous sadness in her life.

I saw a documentary Tammy did before she died and she said she was over the moon to do this because of the fusion she laughed and said she didn’t have a clue what it was about but loved and felt honoured the KLF wanted her ! Imagine that !

Having Miss Tammy Wynette is wonderful in so many ways. "Stand by your man" is one of my karaoke songs. Love her.

From everything I've heard, there was a hell of lot of legit love and respect involved in them asking her. Reportedly, she didn't quite "get" the final product (who did?), but did recognize the tour-de-force of skill on display and had a good time doing it.

[@rusticpartyeditz]

@@travcollier Apparently she couldn't sing it the way the KLF wanted her to and they had to rework the song around her vocals.
