QUESTION:    "Amanda" was my dad's favorite song. He sang it all the time and said he learned the words from the Waylon Jennings record. But my mom says that song was on the radio years before Waylon's recording. Is that true?

 

 

 

ANSWER:        Bob McDill's "Amanda" scored a # 33 hit for Don Williams in 1973 before making it to # one for Waylon Jennings in 1979.
