"It's a dramatic, drastic story. To this day it kinda takes my breath away, because it was something so personal. It wasn't something that was prepared. I had received some uncomfortable news from Philadelphia concerning my wife, my family. I had to go on stage at that moment. I could not respond to what was going on and I just told my band just to play the vamp and I would think of something. 'What you gonna do?' 'Just play'. The Lord gave me 'The Price'."

Now a feller whose darling proved untrue Took her life but he lost his too Now he swings where the little birdie sings #11) Stonewall Jackson: "Waterloo" (1959) [4] {11} The song was a number one hit on the country and western charts (for five weeks) This got to end someday I can't go on this way Living in the past Forget about sorrow And live for tomorrow This is all I ask #12) Walter Jackson: "Speak Her Name" (1967) [89] {22} Also recorded by Arthur Conley.

The third number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by the number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Song Avg.

This is especially true for those country and western songs (#08, #10, #16) that were never big hits on the pop charts. _______________________________________________________________________
