People have probably already mentioned: this was the #1 Country Song of the Year 1971. Folks, this song is a massive triumph of songwriting. Lyrics like these, with this melody, don't exactly grow on trees. Hats off to Freddie. He sang it, AND wrote it:)

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. Freddie not only sang it so beautifully, but composed the music & wrote the lyrics. It was declared Song of the Year in 1971 & 1972 by The CMA. Freddie was named Top Male Vocalist & Entertainer of the Year at the 1972 Academy of Country Music Awards. He quickly had 5 more #1 hits. The Nashville music tycoons, who are legitimately cussed at for the county music of today, finally noticed that this Alabama man was a great singer & songwriter.Amen.

Wow, this brings back wonderful memories to a 69 yr old grandma. I wasn't allowed to dance as a teenager, after marriage my husband would only slow dance, and when that 6'5" Okie in his Sgt.'s uniform took me around the floor to this I melted. Agent Orange finally took him from me in 2011, and do I ever miss him and songs like this.

We had Freddie Hart at our Texas Opry Theater back in 2004 in Weatherford, Tx. He is truly one of the finest gentlemen in the music business period. A delight to work with and to be around. When I picked him up at DFW airport there was mistaking him when he walked out of the door. The first thing he said to me was "Bless Your Heart, Darlin'". That is a memory I will always treasure.

Funny how a 5 minute conversation with a gifted individual can have such an impact.
