This song is soon going to celebrate its 60 years! It’s in 1957 when Patsy Cline, American Country Music singer, in fact its first big success. Another covers of this song: an American group in 1982: Calamity Jane, a German Group: Texan Lightning in 2005. Often sung by the Country Music Artists to Grand Ole Opry: Martina McBride, Kellie Pickler, Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan.
