Tammy Wynette, also known as the "First Lady of Country Music," was an American country singer and songwriter. Born on May 5, 1942 in Itawamba County, Mississippi, she became one of the most influential figures in country music history. Despite facing criticism from the Feminist movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s for her controversial song 'Stand By Your Man,' it remains one of the most covered songs and biggest selling hit singles by a woman in country music. Throughout her career, Tammy Wynette married multiple times, including to performers such as George Jones and Michael Tomlin.

With a distinctive voice that captured the hearts of millions, Tammy Wynette's music resonated with audiences around the world. Her emotional ballads touched upon themes of love, heartbreak, and resilience. Influenced by artists like Connie Smith, Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, and Dottie West among others; she left an indelible mark on country music.

Despite her untimely death on April 6th, 1998 at age 55; Tammy Wynette's legacy lives on through her timeless songs and contributions to the genre. Her impact can still be felt today as new generations continue to discover her powerful storytelling abilities through hits like 'D-I-V-O-R-C-E' and 'Til I Can Make It On My Own.'

All four albums appear for the first time on CD. Tammy Wynette, known as the “First Lady of Country Music”, was one of the genre’s truly iconic figures. A twenty-seven year recording career saw the release of 42 studio albums and charted 73 singles.Tammy’s first two singles in 1980, “He Was There (When I Needed You)” and “Starting Over” just scraped into the Top 20 (both halted their chart rise at No. 17) and the time seemed right for a change. Billy Sherrill, who had launched the singer back in 1966 and was responsible for all her recording through subsequent years, bowed out with her 21st album on Epic Records, ‘Only Lonely Sometimes’, a collection that Cashbox magazine critiqued “Tammy kicks off a new decade with a powerful album”. George Richey, Tammy’s husband, now took over as her record producer.

The other three albums in this collection, Soft Touch (1982), Good Love &amp; Heartbreak (1982), and Even The Strong Get Lonely (1983), were Richey productions and, like Sherrill’s earlier work, featured the cream of Nashville session musicians. Each album also possessed two chart singles, the most successful of them, “Another Chance”, rising to No. 8. The other singles were “You Still Get To Me In My Dreams”, “A Good Night’s Love”, “I Just Heard A Heart Break (And I’m So Afraid It’s Mine), “Unwed Fathers” and “Still In The Ring”. Tammy Wynette’s name never vanished from the charts right up until her death on April 6th 1998 at the tragically early age of 55.
