Connie Smith 's recording of the Bill Anderson-penned tune would make her the 1st female country artist to have her debut single reach #1 on the Billboard charts. Staying in the top position for 8 consecutive weeks would be a record for a female solo artist for almost 50 years. Congratulations, Connie! | Connie Smith | Facebook
