Tammy Wynette belted out this country classic a few decades ago and it's become known as a "country girl's anthem". Tammy divorced George Jones, but Hillary and Bill Clinton power on.
When Johnny Cash recorded Folsom Prison Blues, the world got a look at what it was like to be in prison. Cash's song became an iconic classic for generations.
Even if you weren't a gambler or even a fan of Las Vegas, chances are you (along with millions of others) quickly learned the lyrics to the country classic, and have been singin' at least some of the verses ever since.
Charlie Daniels made the fiddle one of the most popular instruments when he and his band laid down the tracks for this good vs. evil, fast paced and irresistible classic.
Patsy Cline gave the world a gold standard with this one. Recorded in the 1960s, Cline's pluck and emotion make this a song that has inspired hundreds of wannabe singers.
All of the country classics listed above have made their way into TV commercials and movie soundtracks, which continue to introduce them to entire new audiences.
