This mighty titan of a country song was written by two people who have passed on in the last couple years — Cindy Walker (who also wrote “Sugar Moon” with Bob Wills) and Eddy Arnold. Arnold and Jerry Vale both charted with it in 1956, but when Ray Charles covered it in 1962, people wept and threw money at their local record-store clerk.
