Song Of The Day #651

Tick from the Piney Woods of East Texas has castigated Ranch Radio for not recognizing Kitty Wells' 92nd birthday yesterday.  Shame on me.  Well's 1952 hit It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels was the first time a woman had topped the country charts and we bring it to you today.  She also had some hits singing duets with Red Foley so I've also included their 1954 recording of One By One.

Thanks for the dance Frank.

I wish I had all the money back I spent buyin' those honky tonk angels drinks back in the day.

Come to think of it, at two bits a glass I guess it wouldn't amount to much by today's standards.
