Tammy was my hero. And there’s not a damned thing wrong with standing by your man. Or your woman. Life is hard. Do it together.

It took me years to appreciate what she's saying. I learned to smile and welcome the men in my life and they were happy and surprised. Surprised and grateful for simple kindness. I didn't lose anything. I still had a career. I was successful. I simply appreciated the men in my life. I didn't drag my rights into every conversation.

Tammy, Loretta and Dolly were the reigning queens in the 60s and 70s. And with good reason!

What a sweet and beautiful country singer! Adorable!

Life is long. Marriage can make it much easier or much harder. In all the the rural Texas town I grew up in, a marriage could make or break a whole community. Nothing wrong with loving a long life and making a few mistakes. It’s human. Having someone love you anyway is beyond measure. I’ve been married to a large cowboy for 50 years and we have been through everything there is to go through. Together. It’s not easy, but it’s been worth it for me.

The women's equal rights movement hated this song! Tammy herself defended the song, saying it wasn't meant for women to be subservient....but even my homemaker country music loving mama rolled her eyes at this one!

Tammy was born to be a country singer, such great natural talent, fantastic voice. Mr. L had a good laugh when u said yr going to make yr wife love it by overplaying it. Ahahaha 😂😁

The line in the song that makes me smile is "... Cause after all, he's just a man. *. As my mama said, love you man, flaws and all.

She was a country superstar. At the time, she was married to George Jones, another country superstar and an extreme hellraiser and drinker. No, not a double entendre.

She was one of the Queens of Country music.

There was no issues back then because this is just how it was. Always stand by your man! She was married to George Jones!

She was the best there ever was! ❤

Thank you so much for featuring this song! You are quite right in saying many opposed this song. For those of us who've long embraced traditionalism, it makes sense. Men (& women) do things that are foreign to the other sex. But "after all, he's just a man." We are all human, in other words. Most things are worth overlooking if not forgiving.

The world loved Tammy

No double entendre was meant Tammy was a very traditional to southern woman of the 50s and 60s

Beautiful ❤️‍🔥

It meant something warm to come home to.

You have to remember she was married to George Jones around this time. There was a lot attention with this song when Hillary Clinton was getting criticism for standing by President Clinton through a certain controversy. Hillary Clinton made a comment something like I'm not a little woman standing by her man like Tammy Wynette. It caused a huge uproar in the country music world.

She wrote this song in 1968, in a mere 15 minutes at the kitchen table.

Her songs D.I.V.O.R.C.E. and I Don't Wanna Play House are great too.

I also loved Golden Rings, a duet that her and George did together. Pretty much told their story. She had a hard and painful life from all I read. Several husbands that caused her pain.

Awesome song, love Tammy Wynette. Jeanette, New Zealand

😂great reaction😂

Check out Dan Akroyd doing this on the Blues Brothers movie. Lol

its just one of the best songs about modern marital strife and life, she expresses something through song that we cant approach, my wife is standing near and we have this agreement, and I would be remiss, not as well as lose my focus, and become embroiled in some sinister abyss...if I would make some snarky aside before I collapse in our atrium paid for by all her not bliss....kiss and not kiss....

I have a love/hate relationship with this song. She had an amazing voice but I think it’s important to note that she was married 5 times.

Of course the spinsters, lesbians, and communist agitators hated this song.

I always loved the Blues Brothers version of this song.

Then there's Born a Woman by Sandy Posey or I'm Your Woman by Connie Smith. There's a lot of Tammy Wynette that's great. Some I like are Don't Liberate Me, Bedtime Story.

There's a beautiful song with a similar theme, " As Long As He Needs Me", it's from a Broadway show called OLIVER!. The quintessential version is performed by Judy Garland, 1963/64.

Need to check out "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and "I Don't Want to Play House". Two great songs I think you'll like.

I love Tammy, she was married to George Jones, so I get where shes at with this song. People better not try to cancel Tammy!

Thry need to be pushed over the end..haha

I never knew anyone mad at this. They had to be wild-eyed Karen's to object to this. There's nothing finer than standing by your man. Loyalty used to mean something.

Back in the day, women didn't really have the luxury NOT to stand by their man.

I dont think the fem's were as big of a thing as they are now... this was probably the middle 60s to early 70.... We all know they would rather not bring it out of the archives, lol

Did you never hear Hillary Clintons' comment about this song?
