Including this Top 5 country record, Eddy Arnold had 147 entries on that chart, more than anyone except George Jones. He was one of the first to take that genre uptown, without the twang and with a much more polished "Nashville Sound" in an effort by country labels to appeal to pop audiences. They used to call this style "countrypolitan." Today's song was done by numerous folks over the years (Roy Clark's version is quite good) and was written and originally recorded in 1960 by "Whispering" Bill Anderson.
