Tammy Wynette, otherwise known as “The First Lady of Country Music,” is one of the genre’s most celebrated and influential artists. Throughout the late 1960s and ’70s, Wynette reigned supreme on the country charts and celebrated 20 #1 hits. Born Virginia Wynette Pugh, Wynette’s career began in 1965 when she started performing live regionally, eventually making some appearances with Porter Wagoner. A single mother of three, she moved to Nashville and signed with Epic Records in 1966, changed her name, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Married five times, Wynette’s songs reflected her tumultuous love life, including her 1969 marriage to George Jones, with whom she recorded various duet songs and albums. Witness the rise of one of country music’s finest performers on Legendary Performances, with Wynette’s smash hit “Stand By Your Man,” seen here in a 1969 performance on The Wilburn Brothers Show; “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” from her 1968 performance on the CMA Awards; her 1967 performances of “Your Good Girl’s Gonna Go Bad” and “I Don’t Wanna Play House” from an episode of The Bill Anderson Show; and a 1976 Johnny Cash and Friends performance of “‘Til I Can Make It On My Own.” The Wynette/Jones performances featured on Legendary Performances include “We Loved It Away,” from the TV series Pop! Goes The Country, and “Golden Ring” and “Near You” from the show Country Music Hit Parade.
This collection of rare performances includes footage captured on film and video between 1967 and 1980 that has since been archived by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Extras on the DVD include an interview with Tammy Wynette, footage of Wynette and George Richey’s wedding, as well as her Country Music Hall of Fame induction.

Growing up we went camping all the time. We use a overhead camper so on the long drives up to the camping place my sisters (3 of them) and myself would listen to the 8 track player. We only had a few of them but I fondly remember Ms. Tammy Wynettes as us for litle girl would be belting out MY D-I-V-O-R-C-E in our most twaggy voices. Good memories that we all still laugh at to this day.
I love old country music, it was a time of love.
