1968 happened.

That's when Stand by Your Man happened, and that turned into a record that stamped her name onto the genre permanently.

People still sing it all the time, even at the Opry today.
Bobby BonesHOST
It wasn't just a hit.

Eddie McGuireHOST
So traditionally, as you know, Saturday's the game, Sunday's the supporters day, Monday before it was known as Mad Monday was the day that the players used to get together.
Eddie McGuireHOST
You know, going back in time when I was standing there holding the microphone under Sticks Kernahan singing Stand By Your Man.
Jimmy BartelHOST
[laughs]
Eddie McGuireHOST
That's where it, it all started from in a lot of ways.

Eddie McGuireHOST
Going back in time when I was standing there holding the microphone under Styx Kernaghan singing Stand By Your Man.
Eddie McGuireHOST
That's where it all started from in a lot of ways.
Eddie McGuireHOST
So I look at that and I go, righto, if you go to the Sunday, what does it do? It means the Saturday can be a big race meeting.

Mick SmithHOST
We're talking full orchestras, sophisticated arrangements, production values that rival anything coming out of New York or Los Angeles.
Mick SmithHOST
Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man from 1968 is the quintessential example.
Mick SmithHOST
Sweeping strings, a massive chorus, a production so lush it almost overwhelms the song's controversial lyrical content about traditional gender roles.
Mick SmithHOST
But this was also the decade of the Bakersfield sound, which was a completely different aesthetic and absolutely crucial to understanding the 60s.
Connie SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Given all your love to just one man.
Connie SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You'll hurt And he'll have good times Doing things that you don't understand But if you love him, you'll forgive him Even though he's hard to understand I'll be proud of him Cause after all he's just a man Stand by your friend Give him two arms to cling to warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely stand by your man and show the world you love him keep giving all the love you can Keep giving all the love you got
EricHOST
We started that set with George Jones and He Stopped Loving Her Today.
EricHOST
Next, Merle Haggard had the exact opposite sentiment with Today I Started Loving You Again.
EricHOST
And we just heard Tammy Wynette and Stand By Your Man again.
EricHOST
We're going to have to move some things around.
EricHOST
Okay.
Omar MooreHOST
Strange Fruit, sung there by Nina Simone, the High Priestess of Soul.
Omar MooreHOST
Remember, that song had been first recorded, I think, back in 1939 by the one, the only Lady Day, Billie Holiday.
Omar MooreHOST
And her edition of it was really haunting.
Omar MooreHOST
But I always seem to find Nina Simone's rendition of that tune particularly jarring, and that's the point.

Omar MooreHOST
by her actions in the new ending that we all know in Federal Attraction.
Omar MooreHOST
And she stands by her man, like Tammy Wynette, It's such an interesting thing, the hypocrisies of the society that we live in.
Omar MooreHOST
Tammy Wynette in the 1960s released that song, Stand By Your Man.
Omar MooreHOST
A white female singer and songwriter sang that song, released that song, and got a torrent of backlash in the 1960s for a song that advocated standing by your man no matter what he did.
