This self-penned tune became Twitty’s signature song, about a guy who can’t get over the woman he wronged and lost. With the title track of their debut album, mother and daughter Naomi and Wynonna Judd made their case for being the biggest country duo of the ‘80s. One of the biggest pop-country crossovers in history, the beloved duet has lived on through remixes and constant karaoke rotation. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - “Islands in the Stream” Deanna Carter - 'Strawberry Wine'Ī commercial and critical success still filling Lower Broadway taverns with a chorus that offers 'My first taste of love, oh bittersweet.'

The years go slowly by, but Jones still preys upon our minds. George Jones - “He Stopped Loving Her Today” With a rough but welcoming warmth, Stapleton croons a rendition of this country classic that’s worth toasting for years to come. Eric Church - “Springsteen”Ĭhurch expertly captures a fleeting feeling chased by all musicians - like the chorus says, “Sometimes a melody sounds like a memory.” Chris Stapleton - 'Tennessee Whiskey' On his 1989 chart-topper, Black tried - and failed - to drink a woman off of his mind. It's since been covered by everyone from Patti Page to Cyndi Lauper and Phish. In 1935, this jaunty tune became the first country song by a female artist to sell more than 1 million copies. Patsy Montana - 'I Want to be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart' The country music Class of 1989 returns to the all-time list, this time asking a question in the shadow of a generation-defining event. Alan Jackson - “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)”
