Virginia Wynette Pugh, known professionally as Tammy Wynette (May 5, 1942 - April 6, 1998), was an American country music singer-songwriter and one of country music's best-known artists and biggest-selling female vocalists.

She was known as the "First Lady of Country Music" and one of her best-known songs, "Stand by Your Man," was one of the biggest selling hit singles by a woman in the history of the country music genre. Many of Tammy Wynette's hits dealt with classic themes of loneliness, divorce and the difficulties of male-female relationships. Her songs reflected her often-troubled romantic life (she married five times). But her willingness to share her joys and sorrows in song and her passionate, tear-in-every-note delivery endeared her to millions.

Along with Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and Barbara Mandrell she defined the role of female country vocalists in the 1970s.

Her 1969 marriage to legendary country singer George Jones (which would end in divorce in 1975) created country music's "first couple." The pair recorded a series of duet albums and singles, which charted throughout the 1970s, concurrent to their respective solo hits.

Early years

Childhood & teen years

Tammy Wynette was born Virginia Wynette Pugh near Tremont, Mississippi, the only child of William Hollice Pugh (died February 13, 1943) and Mildred Faye Russell (1922 – 1991). She was always called Wynette (pronounced Win-net), or Nettie, instead of Virginia.

Her father was a farmer and local musician. He died of a brain tumor when Wynette was nine months of age. Her mother worked in an office, as a substitute school teacher, as well as on the family farm. After the death of Hollice Pugh, she left Wynette in the care of her grand parents, Thomas Chester and Flora A. Russell, and moved to Memphis to work in a World War II defence plant. In 1946, she married Foy Lee, a farmer from Mississippi.

Wynette was raised on the Itawamba County farm of her maternal grandparents where she was born. The place was partly on the border with Alabama. She often claimed that the state line ran right through their property, joking "my top half came from Alabama and my bottom half came from Mississippi". As a youngster, she worked in the fields picking cotton alongside the hired crews to get in the crop. She grew up with her aunt, Carolyn Russell, who was only five years older than she was. As a child, Wynette taught herself to play a variety of instruments left behind by her father. [ [http://wm07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=TAMMY|WYNETTE&sql=11:gifixql5ldfe~T1 Tammy Wynette at All Music.com] ] Wynette also sang Gospel music with her grandmother, and genre Wynette grew to liking, idolizing certain Gospel vocalists like '40s Gospel/Country star, Molly O' Day.

As a child and teenager, she found in country music an escape from her hard life. Wynette grew up idolizing Hank Williams, Skeeter Davis, Patsy Cline, and George Jones, and would play their records over and over on the children's record player she owned, dreaming of one day being a star herself.

Rise to fame

She attended Tremont High School, where she was an all-star basketball player. A month before graduation, she married her first husband, Euple Byrd. He was a construction worker, but had trouble holding down a job, and they moved several times. One of their homes had no running water. She worked as a waitress, receptionist, and a barmaid, and also worked in a shoe factory. In 1963, she attended beauty school in Tupelo, Mississippi, and became a hairdresser; she would renew her cosmetology license every year for the rest of her life, just in case she should have to go back to a daily job. She left her first husband before the birth of their third daughter. He did not support her ambition to become a country singer, and, according to Wynette, told her "Dream on, Baby."

Her baby developed spinal meningitis and Wynette tried to make extra money by performing at night. In 1965, Wynette sang on the "Country Boy Eddie Show" on WBRC-TV in Birmingham, Alabama, which led to some appearances with Porter Wagoner. In 1966, she moved with her three girls from Birmingham to Nashville, Tennessee, where she attempted to get a recording contract. After being turned down repeatedly by every other record company she'd met with, she auditioned for producer Billy Sherrill. Sherrill, who was originally reluctant to sign her, decided to do so, her after finding himself in need of a singer to cover a song given to him, "Apartment No. 9". When Sherrill heard Wynette sing it, he was impressed and decided to sign her to Epic Records in 1966.

Music career

1966 – 1979: Breakthrough

Once she was signed to Epic, Sherrill suggested she change her name to make more of an impression. According to her 1979 memoir, "Stand by Your Man", during their meeting, Wynette was wearing her long, blonde hair in a ponytail, and Sherill noted that she reminded him of Debbie Reynolds in the film "Tammy and the Bachelor", and suggested "Tammy" as a possible name; thus she became Tammy Wynette.

Her first single, "Apartment No. 9" (written by Bobby Austin and Johnny Paycheck), was released in December 1966, and just missed the Top 40 on the Country charts, peaking at No. 44. It was followed by "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad," which became a big hit, peaking at number three. The song launched a string of Top Ten hits that ran through the end of the '70s, interrupted only by three singles that didn't crack the Top Ten. After "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" was a success, "My Elusive Dreams", a duet with David Houston, became her first number one in the summer of 1967, followed by "I Don't Wanna Play House" later that year. [ [http://wm07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=TAMMY|WYNETTE&sql=11:gifixql5ldfe~T1 Tammy Wynette at All Music.com] ] "I Don't Wanna Play House" won Wynette a Grammy award in 1967 for "Best Female Country Vocal Performance", one of two wins for Wynette in that category.

During 1968 and 1969, Wynette had five number one hits — "Take Me to Your World," "D-I-V-O-R-C-E," "Stand by Your Man" (all 1968), "Singing My Song," and "The Ways to Love a Man" (both 1969). [ [http://wm07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=TAMMY|WYNETTE&sql=11:gifixql5ldfe~T1 Tammy Wynette at All Music.com] ] "Stand by Your Man", which was reportedly written in the Epic studio in just fifteen minutes by Billy Sherrill and Wynette herself, the song was released at a time when the women's rights movement was beginning to stir in the U.S. The message in the song that said a woman should stick to the side of her man, despite his faults of being weak and adulterous, stirred up controversy and was originally criticized in the beginning, and became a lightning rod for feminists. However, the song became very successful, reaching the top spot on the Country charts, and was also a Top 20 pop hit, peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard pop charts in 1968, Wynette's only Top 40 pop hit as a solo artist on the pop charts. In 1969, Wynette won the Grammy award for "Best Female Country Vocal Performance" for "Stand by Your Man", and has now been according to critics, considered a "classic" or Country music "standard" to record.

Wynette earned a Gold record (awarded for albums selling in excess of 500,000 copies) for "Tammy's Greatest Hits" which was certified in 1970 by the RIAA. The album would later be awarded Platinum record status (awarded for albums selling in excess of 1,000,000 copies) in June 1989. In 1970, director Bob Rafelson used a number of her songs in the soundtrack of his 1970 film "Five Easy Pieces".

During the early 1970s, Wynette, along with Loretta Lynn (who was equally popular around the same time) ruled the country charts, and was one of the most successful female vocalists of the genre. During the early 1970s, number one singles included "He Loves Me All the Way" "Run Woman, Run" and "The Wonders You Perform" (all from 1970), "Good Lovin' (Makes it Right)", "Bedtime Story" (both 1971) "My Man (Understands)", "'Til I Get it Right" (1972), and "Kids Say the Darndest Things" (1973). One of them, "The wonders you perform",was a sensational top hit in Italy in 1971,thanks to Ornella Vanoni,who recorded the song in a very good Italian version, "Domani è un altro giorno" ("Tomorrow is another day"),whose text was written by Giorgio Calabrese, one of the most important Italian authors. Concurrent to her solo success, a number of her duets with Jones reached the top ten on the U.S. country singles charts during this time, including "The Ceremony" (1972), "We're Gonna Hold On" (1973), and "Golden Ring (1975). In 1968, Wynette became the second female vocalist to win the Country Music Association Awards' "Female Vocalist of the Year" award, later winning an additional two other times (1969 and 1970). For nearly two decades, Tammy held the record for most consecutive wins, until 1987 when Reba McEntire won the award for the fourth consecutive time.

Wynette was married to George Jones from 1969 - 75 (she had divorced her second husband earlier in 1969). Even after their 1975 divorce (due largely to Jones' alcoholism), their professional collaboration continued with regularity through 1980; years later in 1995, they made a reunion album entitled "One" . It was well received, although it didn't achieve their earlier chart success. Jones and Wynette had one daughter together, Tamala Georgette, born in 1970.

In 1976, after having her public divorce from Jones the previous year, Wynette recorded, "'Til I Can Make It on My Own". Often said by music critics to be about her break-up from Jones and moving on with her life, the song reached No. 1 on the U.S. country singles charts, and No. 84 on the pop singles charts, becoming her first single in eight years to enter the pop charts. Often considered to be one of her signature songs, it more or less helped Wynette's career after her divorce, showing she could remain popular. It was recorded two years later as a duet by Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, whose version reached No. 3 on the country singles charts in 1979. In 1976, Wynette had another No. 1 as a solo artist, "You and Me", which became her final No. 1 as a solo artist. Her last No. 1 came as a duet with George Jones in early 1977 titled, "Near You".

Following 1976, Wynette's popularity slightly slowed, however, she continued to reach the Top 10 until the end of the decade, with such hits as "Let's Get Together (One Last Time), "One of a Kind" (both 1977), "Womanhood" (1978) "No One Else in this World" and "They Call It Makin' Love" (both 1979). She had a total of 21 number one hits on the U.S. country singles charts (17 solo, three with Jones, and one with Houston). Along with Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Dottie West, and Lynn Anderson, she helped redefine the role and place of female country singers.

1980 – 1990: Career in the 80s

In 1981, a television movie about Wynette's life was aired on television titled, "Stand by Your Man", which was based on her memoir of the same title. Actress Annette O'Toole portrayed Wynette in the film.

Beginning in the early 1980s, however, her chart success began to wane, though, she did continue to have top-20 hits during this period, including, "Starting Over" and "He Was There (When I Needed You)" (both 1980), a cover of the Everly Brothers' hit "Crying in the Rain" (1981), "Another Chance", "You Still Get to Me in My Dreams" (both 1982), and "A Good Night's Love" (1983). A 1985 cover of the '70s Dan Hill hit "Sometimes When We Touch", performed with Mark Grey, reached number 6 in 1985.

In 1982 she recorded a track with The Ray Conniff Singers, a rendition of "Delta Dawn", in order to be included in the Conniff's duets album "The Nashville Connection", but ultimately the track didn't enter. Meanwhile, her medical problems continued, including inflammations of her bile duct. In 1986, she acted on the CBS TV soap opera "Capitol". In 1988, she filed for bankruptcy as a result of a bad investment in two Florida shopping centers.

Wynette's 1987 album "Higher Ground" featured a neotraditional country sound, and was both a critical and relative commercial success. The album featured contributions from Vince Gill, Ricky Van Shelton, Rodney Crowell, Ricky Skaggs, Emmylou Harris, and The O'Kanes. [ [http://www.geocities.com/nashville/opry/5627/chronology.html Tammy Wynette chronology] ] Two of the singles released from the album, "Your Love" and "Talkin' to Myself Again", reached the top-twenty on the U.S. country singles charts; a third single, "Beneath a Painted Sky" (featuring duet vocals from Emmylou Harris) reached number 25 in early 1988 (it would ultimately be Tammy Wynette's final top-40 country single).

Although she was still a name remembered in popular culture (the 1980s game show "Press Your Luck" had a country-singing Whammy known as "Tammy Whamette").

1990 – 1998: Final career years

She recorded a song with the British electronica group The KLF in late 1991 titled "Justified and Ancient (Stand by the JAMs)," which became a No. 1 hit in eighteen countries the following year, and reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The song gave Wynette a new following, and was her highest-charting single on the Billboard Pop charts. In the video, scrolling electronic titles said that "Miss Tammy Wynette is the first lady of country music." Wynette appeared in the video seated on a throne.

In 1992, future First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton said during a "60 Minutes" interview either “I'm not sitting here as some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette.” [(http//:www.cmt.com/artists/news/1471365/20030418/wynette_tammy.jhtml) ] or "I'm not sitting here like some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette." [ (http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9804/07/wynette.reax/) ] (The end of this quotation has also appeared as "some little woman, standing by my man and baking cookies, like Tammy Wynette." However, the reference to cookie baking more likely comes from an unrelated remark by Hillary Clinton: "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life." [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/clinton/etc/03261992.html] ) The remark set off a firestorm of controversy and Wynette demanded, and received, an apology from Clinton. (Hillary Clinton's remark aside, Wynette was nonetheless a Clinton supporter, and later performed at a Clinton fundraiser.)

In 1990, "Heart Over Mind" was released and showed that Wynette's popularity on radio was declining. The album yielded no Top 40 Country hits, although numerous singles were released between 1990 and 1991, including a duet with Randy Travis titled, "We're Strangers Again".

The 1993 album "Honky Tonk Angels" gave her a chance to record with Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn for the first time; though yielding no hit singles (mainstream country radio had long since stopped playing artists approaching or over 50), the album did well on the country charts and even reached number 42 on the Billboard Pop Charts. The one single that was released from the album, a cover of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" peaked outside the Country Top 40 in 1993. The following year, she released "Without Walls," a collection of duets with a number of country, pop and rock and roll performers, including Wynonna Judd, Elton John, Lyle Lovett, Aaron Neville, Smokey Robinson, Sting and a number of others. An album cut titled, "Girl Thang", a duet with Wynonna Judd, reached No. 64 in 1994, but no singles were released from this album. She also appeared as a celebrity contestant on Wheel of Fortune during that same year.

Wynette also designed and sold her own line of jewelry in the 1990s. In 1995, she and George Jones recorded their first new duet album in fifteen years titled, "One", which spawned a single of the same name. The single was the duo's first music video together. They last performed together in 1997 at Concerts in the Country Lanierland, Georgia.

Wynette lent her vocals on the UK #1 hit Perfect Day in 1997, which was written by Lou Reed.

Wynette was also the voice for the character Tillie Mae Hill (Hank Hill's mother) on the animated series "King Of The Hill.

Death

After years of medical problems, numerous hospitalizations, approximately twenty-six major surgeries and an addiction to large doses of pain medication, Tammy Wynette died, in her sleep, on April 6, 1998 of a pulmonary blood clot. She was 55. Despite her persistent illnesses, she continued to perform until shortly before her death and had other performances scheduled. Wynette's funeral was held on April 9, 1998 and, at the same time, a public memorial service was under way at Nashville's original Grand Ole Opry building (Ryman Auditorium). Her death solicited commentary such as songwriter Bill Mack's commentary, quoted in the Dallas Morning News , that she was a "class act," and "irreplaceable," and that, "She never knew a flat note." Lee Ann Womack was quoted also; she said of Wynette, whose songs often evoked strength and controlled passion, "You knew she knew what she was singing about. You can put her records on and listen and learn so much." Wynette was survived by her husband George Richey, four daughters and eight grandchildren. [ [http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608002290/Tammy-Wynette.html Tammy Wynette] at Musician Guide.com ]

The coroner later declared that she died of a cardiac arrhythmia, one year after her death upon examining her in an autopsy. She is interred in Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Nashville.

Legacy

Since her death and even before then Tammy Wynette has been considered by numerous music critics from All Music Guide and "Rolling Stone" to have been one of the greatest and most influential female Country singers in history. Many other female Country singers have been affected by Wynette's influence including, Sara Evans, Faith Hill, and Lee Ann Womack. In 1998, following Wynette's death she was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, one of the highest honors of Wynette's career. A special CD collection titled, "Tammy Wynette: Collector's Edition" was released in 1998, that included Wynette's signature "Stand By Your Man", which even charted outside the Top 40 on the Country charts that year.

Wynette's signature song, "Stand by Your Man" has been covered by both men and women alike. Fellow Country singers including, Lynn Anderson, Dottie West, and Loretta Lynn have covered the song, as well as Rock bands, including Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Martina McBride covered Wynette's 1976, "'Til I Can Make It on My Own" for her 2005, "Timeless" album, which was a cover album of Country music standards. "Stand by Your Man" placed at No. 48 on RIAA's 1997 list of "Songs of the Century", which consisted of the 300 of their considered-to-be greatest and best-known songs of the twentieth century.

The musical "Stand By Your Man: The Tammy Wynette Story", which premiered at the Ryman Auditorium in 2001 and later toured, is a biographical treatment of Wynette's life and music, and features several songs recorded by Wynette and/or George Jones.

In 2002, she was ranked No. 2 on "CMT's 40 Greatest Women of Country Music". At No. 1 placed, Patsy Cline (one of Wynette's biggest inspirations) and at No. 3 placed fellow Country star, Loretta Lynn. Wynette's former husband, George Jones placed at No. 3 of CMT's special of the "40 Greatest Men of Country Music" in 2003.

In 2003, a survey of country music writers, producers and stars listed "Stand By Your Man" as the top country song of all time. Country Music Television broadcast a special for the top 100 songs, with the No. 1 song performed by Martina McBride.

Judson Baptist Church, who neighbors Wynette's house, purchased the house, which belonged to Hank Williams before he died, and the land for a little over a million dollars. The Wynette house is used as a Youth Center as well as a guest house.

"Stand By Your Man" is sung in "The Blues Brothers" 1980 motion picture, by both Jake and Elwood Blues, at Bob's Country Bunker.

In April 2008, the CD "Stand By Your Man - The Best of Tammy Wynette", released by Sony BMG to mark the 10th anniversary of her death entered the UK Official Top 75 Album chart at number 23.

Personal life

Marriages

Aside from her music, Wynette's private life was as tumultuous as many of her songs. Over the course of her life, she had five husbands: Euple Byrd (married 1959–divorced 1966); Don Chapel (married 1967–annulled 1968); George Jones (married 1969–divorced 1975); Michael Tomlin (married 1976–annulled 1976); and George Richey (married 1978–her death 1998). Wynette's marriage to George Richey in 1978 was her final marriage and was her longest marriage, Wynette stated once that she finally found her "true love" when she met him.

She was also linked romantically with actor Burt Reynolds briefly in 1977, but it was her fifth marriage to singer/songwriter George Richey in 1978 that finally brought happiness and stability to Wynette's private life. [ [http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608002290/Tammy-Wynette.html Tammy Wynette] at Musician Guide.com ] Richey, to whom Wynette was married to until her death in 1998, was her manager throughout much of the 1980s.

Her fourth marriage, to Michael Tomlin, lasted only six weeks. Wynette, who suffered many tragedies throughout her life, maintained that she had no complaints and that she felt greatly blessed. Her house was burned and severely damaged in 1975, and she was also victimized for some time by a stalker. In Nashville, in 1978, she was mysteriously kidnapped from a shopping center and badly beaten, a story that was never substantiated with hard evidence, leaving questions in the minds of some as to whether it happened. As a result of numerous health ailments and surgeries, she developed a dependency on painkillers in the late 1970s. She became critically ill with a liver infection at the end of 1994. Pamela Lansden of "People" quoted Wynette's personal spin on life's tribulations as follows: "The sad part about happy endings is there's nothing to write about." [ [http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608002290/Tammy-Wynette.html Tammy Wynette] at Musician Guide.com ]

Children

She and Byrd had three children, Gwendolyn Lee ("Gwen") Byrd (born 1961), Jacquelyn Faye ("Jackie") Byrd (born 1962) and Tina Denise Byrd (born 1965), and she and Jones had one child, Tamala Georgette Jones (born 1970). Daughter Tina was featured on one of Jones and Wynette's duet albums, which was titled, "George and Tammy and Tina".

Wynette also developed a serious addiction to painkiller medication in the 1980s, which became quite a problem in her life during that time. However, in 1986, she sought help entering the Betty Ford Center for drug treatment that year.

Health problems

Wynette also had a number of serious physical ailments beginning in the 1970s, including operations on her gall bladder, kidney and on the nodules on her throat. In 1994, she suffered an abdominal infection that almost killed her. She was in a coma for six days. She developed a chronic inflammation of the bile ducts and was intermittently hospitalized, from 1970 until her death in 1998. [ [http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608002290/Tammy-Wynette.html Tammy Wynette] at Musician Guide.com ] Overall, she had twenty six major surgeries during her lifetime. Although some of these problems were often very serious, Wynette was still able to pursue her singing career and regularly tour to promote her work.
