Stand By Your Man: the Tammy Wynette Story

on BBC Radio 2

2/2. Another chance to hear a 2006 two-parter in which Bob Harris pays tribute to Mississippi-born country legend Tammy Wynette , who died in 1998, aged 55, following a remarkable career beset by personal and medical troubles. Wynette scored 20 US country number ones, including the two crossover hits D-I-V-O-R-C-E and, most famously, the UK chart-topper Standby Your Man. Plus the 1991 collaboration with the KLF, Justified and Ancient. The programme features previously unaired early demo recordings.
