-I grew up with Tanya. She is one year older than me. When I was young, my Dad used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said, "Daddy, I want to be Tanya Tucker" and he said, "Honey, you better hurry up!!"
-I remember when this song first came out, I couldn't wait to get to 'Sam the record man'. I also remember I saw a dress so much like this one and had to have it. Great days to remember.
-she sang it so beautiful
-legendary, beautiful
-Of all the HITs she had, this is my favorite. Just love the story & how she does it.me too. song by Earl "Peanutt" Montgomery & Dallas Frazier.

And her eyes are Wilson green...
but 1) the timeline of the song: Buford Wilson was a young man thirty years ago, a drunkard twenty years ago, and an old man a year ago? he went from young man (~late 20s at most?) to old man in 30 years -- could a man in late 50s be called an old man? maybe in the 70s.
and 2) he was sentenced to a month in jail for offering a little girl candy to answer a question?
finally 3) if ten years go by between him first arriving in Memphis and speaking to a little green-eyed girl, and him spending a month in jail for speaking to a little green eyed-girl (a second time), how can the girl still be little?

Delta Dawn
Tanya Tucker performing her hit song "Delta Dawn" at age of 13 live on Hee Haw



Entertainment Weekly | Dec 26, 1997 | Entertainers of the Year | LeAnn Rimes:
The last time anybody saw anything like LeAnn Rimes, her name was Tanya Tucker. It was 1972; Tucker was 13; the song was ''Delta Dawn.'' Tucker has said she didn't even understand the lyrics about a jilted woman wandering the streets wearing a faded flower, but that didn't matter. The country-crunching boomers dug it anyhow, and the song stayed on the charts for months.

youtube page comments:
-"Blue" was a very good song, but other than that one song, I don't think Leann Rimes has what it take to even come close
-These girls today have nothing on Tanya Tucker. She took this very grown up song and made it sound like she'd lived it. I've always loved her raspy way of singing and she still has it.
-This is the good stuff folks! She was something else wasn't she? Never before and never again...
