(1942 – 1998) Born Virginia Wynette Pugh in Mississippi and raised by grandparents who picked cotton, Tammy became the First Lady of country music (although the “real” First Lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton, said in 1992 she was no “Stand by Your Man” woman). Ms Wynette left her hairdressing career behind and moved to Nashville in 1966 to record; her resonant voice came to epitomize the female country voice in the 1970s, singing of love and loss. After her fifth husband, she released her most famous song “Stand by Your Man” (1969), although her comeback hit with the English pop act KLF, “Justified and Ancient” (1992), sold more records internationally. She also performed duets with Smokey Robinson, Aaron Neville and Elton John.
