Waylon Jennings' single "Sweet Dream Woman" (74 0716). Sweet enough to make that hard -to -get crossover "Sweet Dream Woman" onto the pop charts look easy. From Waylon Jennings' album "Good sweetens up the Hearted Woman" which also includes country charts. "To Beat the Devil," "Do No Good Woman," and "lt Should Be Easier Now." The pop -over is even sweeter. All as sweet as can be.
