I remember hearing this song when I was a kid and always being just floored by its beauty and how it spoke to my heart. My wife Wanda loves this song a lot & I decided that although it has been oft recorded, I wanted a version of my own on a CD. Interestingly enough, though most people know that the great Willie Nelson wrote this song, his name appears nowhere among the credits, as either the songwriter or publisher.
I found this out when I was licensing the song!
Willie says that he sold the song, when he was in a tight spot & needed the money, before his career as a songwriter really took off.
He is very matter of fact about it & if he has any animosity towards whomever he sold it to, he shows no sign of it in his great book “It’s A Long Story: My Life”. It’s a great song, and Willie, I put your name under it on the back cover. Hope I don’t get in trouble -- but come on, fair is fair!
