When Tammy Wynette died in April 1998, a month shy of her 56th birthday, country music lost not only its "First Lady" but its once and future queen of Brave-Faced Heartache. Born Virginia Wynette Pugh in Mississippi's cotton country, she'd known more than her share of hard times. Released two days before Christmas in 1968, the album garnered Tammy her first Grammy Award and both the ACM and CMA voted her Female Vocalist of the Year in 1969. The song "Stand By Your Man," which Wynette co-wrote with album producer Billy Sherrill, was the first of her 20 number one country hits and sold six million copies while also establishing Sherrill as Nashville's foremost record producer.
