Two minutes and forty-one seconds of sheer artistic brilliance? A recording that comes along but once in a lifetime? A song that can be covered but NEVER improved upon? Time's up... Tammy Wynette, "Stand By Your Man."

Rest in peace, Tammy, you've earned it.

Here's a clip of Tammy singing SBYM on television back when the song was new - it is not identical to the recorded version, but it comes pretty darn close - enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwBirf4BWew

Thanks for listening, have a great day,
