On 7 April 1972, The Big O cut the number that would become the opening song on his 'Memphis' album.

Roy Orbison’s final MGM album, ‘Milestones’ is a curio containing masterful readings of Bee Gees’ ‘Words’ and a Big O take on country-rock.

The song outdid the A-side, 'Why Should We Try Anymore,' on the country charts.
New chart entries kept coming despite Hank's sad demise, with 'Kaw-Liga' and 'Your Cheatin' Heart' both hitting the country chart of 21 February 1953.
