"One's On the Way." Easy.

^^the only classic on the list. but “Carolyn” — Merle Haggard and the Strangers features some of Hag's very best singing. Close call.

I think "Bedtime Story" is also a classic-- Billy Sherrill lyrics and Tammy putting it over the top. A bit of a retread of D-I-V-O-R-C-E, but still great.

"The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA" would've been my #2 (though I actually think Daveigh Chase's recent version from the TV show Big Love is even better.)

"Happiest Girl" is on the Six Feet Under sndtrk too so it's liked by HBO.

I bought that "Happiest Girl" 45 for a quarter last summer. The B-side is "The Awareness of Nothing"!

I find "Happiest Girl" unlistenable. Sorry.

How did "Amos Moses" not go #1 country? Damn. :(

"Made in Japan" was Buck Owens' last number one-- pretty good song too.
