Song Of The Day #113

Floyd Tillman (1914-2003) was a sharecroppers son raised around Post, Texas. In addition to his singing Tillman also wrote such hits as "It Makes No Difference Now", "Each Night At Nine", "I Love You So Much It Hurts" and "Slipping Around." He was inducted into the Songwriter's HOF and the Country Music HOF.

Tillman's music is still widely available, as in his Country Music Hall of Fame disc. Real Tillman fans will want the 6 disc box set I Love You So Much It Hurts - His Recordings 1936-62 & 1981.

Today's selection is his 1949 recording Gals Are Funny That Way.
