Q & A
Tuesday June 26th, 2012
QUESTION: I know that Willie Nelson had a big hit with "Always On My Mind." My mom says that song was on the radio years before that by someone else. Is that true?
ANSWER: Brenda Lee scored a # 45 hit with "Always On My Mind" 1972, Elvis Presley took it to # 16 in 1973, was a # 20 for John Wesley Ryles in 1979 – all before Willie's version went to # one in 1982.

"Q & A" is a by-product of our weekly "Country Music Classics" newsletter. NO - it does NOT replace the weekly newsletter--it is simply an addition--due to the large number of questions received each week that I do not have room for in the weekly newsletter. Subscribers receive BOTH the weekly newsletter and the daily Q & A---because I do not maintain two separate mailing lists. If you wish to unsubscribe- send a blank email to:

IF YOU DO UNSUBSCRIBE....YOU WILL BE UNSUBSCRIBING FROM BOTH THE WEEKLY "COUNTRY MUSIC CLASSICS" AND THE DAILY "Q & A."
