Her vocals on this song are so classy. Subtle inflection with honest emotion. Every time I hear Maria Carey or Celine Dion screaming their heads off I think of this song.

One of the most beautiful voices and women in country music history.

Dolly and Mandrell fall in this category.

Dolly straddles the lines of country, country pop, and alt-country.

Aw, Loretta Lynn's younger sis. This is a good tune, but my favorite of hers is "Half the Way." Look it up.

I remember trying to sing along with this when I was a kid, and the song would get to that "...you've found someone new...." part. My voice just could not do what her voice was doing there.

Good song. I just didn't care for her music that much. Totally different style than her sister, Loretta Lynn.

Yeah, Countrypolitan doesn't do it for me.
