The following three enormous, historically significant hits are just a few examples of artists nailing their hit songs on the first try. It’s an incredible country song and a standout example of what country music was like in the 1960s. It’s insane to think that just a few weeks prior to recording this hit song, Cline had been in a car accident that caused bruising on her ribs. Not only did Cline sing the dang thing, but she sang in her own vocal style (rather than Nelson’s) and nailed the vocal recording on the first take. 2 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart and a crossover hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No.
