Talk:Tammy Wynette

Awards Errors
It was 1999, not 2001, when VH1 did the 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll, where Tammy ranked at #73.

also, in 1996 Tammy won the Award of Merit from the American Music Awards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.211.106.167 (talk) 00:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, the year for the VH1 ranking is fixed as of now in both the main entry page and the page that lists awards.
 * Also, the Award of Merit is listed on the award page and the main entry page, as of right now. Spoonsalt6353 (talk) 22:44, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

George Richey
There's very little about George Richey in this article apart from the disparaging. As they were married for 20 years I feel that there ought to be an impartial view on this man. Given that he is at odds with Wynette's children then maybe this article should be protected from bias comment.

Blood clot
actually, there is footage from Davidson County Medical Examiner Bruce Levy that she died from a cardiac arrhythmia. While a blood clot may not have been the primary cause, it is believed to have been a factor.

Disography Errors
there were several instances of errors with songs and albums, which I fixed. Some songs had the wrong albums listed and in one case the incorrect album title listed.

Also in the sidebar, someone incorrectly edited the record label information. Tammy was on the Epic Records roster from August of 1966 until her death in April of 1998. Epic did become part of the Sony Music Entertainment family in 1990, However, the label was, and still is, as of December 7, 2007, still in existence. Though Tammy's last studio album was released in 1995, on MCA Records (the duet album "One" with George Jones) she continued to be a part of the Epic roster until 1998. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.211.105.148 (talk) 02:16, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Somebody please correct the Discography section. Some perverted moron had too much free time.
 * PLEASE SIGN your comments. (All you need do is hit the button with four little doo-dads

Also Tammy Wynette never sued the Blues Brothers for using Stand by Your Man in the 1980 movie. Some people just like to stir up shit!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.214.6.180 (talk) 21:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


 * This issue appears to have already been resolved by some previous user's edits, as there is currently no mention of the Blues Brothers in the page at all. At least not right now. Hope this resolves this issue for everyone. Spoonsalt6353 (talk) 23:56, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

"Her 1969 marriage to legendary country singer, George Jones (which would end in divorce in 1975) created the first country music couple." What does this mean? They were the first country musicians to get married? Can someone translate it into an approximation of English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AuntFlo (talk • contribs) 10:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * This issue appears to have been resolved already; when I began editing the page, it said George and Tammy were a country music "supercouple" (with a hyperlink to the wiki entry on supercouples) but did not claim they were the "first country music couple." Some previous editor of this page had already added a mention of Johnny and June before I started editing. Spoonsalt6353 (talk) 23:02, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree. They were not the first country musicians to marry. Johnny Cash and June Carter were married March 1, 1968. Cater's parents, country musicians A.P. and Sara Carter, were married in the 1920's. This is definitely not a true statement.--Agl7227 (talk) 12:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Pls see my response above to AuntFlo; this issue appears to have been resolved already before I started editing the page. You get bonus points from me for knowing that A.P. and Sara were married in the '20s. :) Spoonsalt6353 (talk) 23:03, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

While George Jones and Tammy Wynette were not the first married couple in Country Music, they were the first "super couple" in the modern "Tim & Faith" sense of the definition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.145.131.37 (talk) 16:53, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * See above replies from me. Some bright person had already come along and edited the page to include mention of "super couple" in the entry. So this should be resolved. :) Spoonsalt6353 (talk) 23:05, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

"Legacy" needs citations.
There are no citations for any of the information in the "Legacy" section. There is an urgent need that all of this "information" be documented, because this is the section where the most economically valuable information is located. It is a marketer's dream to get information about how great his/ her product is to the public, and in this section we are saying that the songs have lasting value. We need to tell the public the source of the information about the enduring value of the songs. Richard E. Davies (talk) 11:59, 10 September 2011

Grave site
Wynette's tomb was restored to her stage name. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/03/22/tammy-wynette-name-restored-on-grave/ Zabadu (talk) 16:52, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, Zabadu, this issue appears to have already been resolved by some previous user -- when I began editing the page the other day, it already included mention that the name on the crypt had been restored to "Tammy Wynette." Spoonsalt6353 (talk) 23:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Kidnap
Came here to read about the 1978 'kidnap' but there's not a word about it. It's a matter of fact that this took place, but a well-founded dispute as to whether it was genuine, or staged in order to cover up abuse. Would be good to have a definitive encyclopaedic section on this - it was extremely big news at the time so shouldn't be left out of the article... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.157.138 (talk) 16:11, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Same. Can't believe it's late 2017 with still no mention. I've added a brief source. czar  17:29, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Excessive list of influenced people
The Legacy section is getting larger but not better. If we list people who have been influenced by Wynette, the sort of influence should be described for the reader. The listed influences should be widely observed, not just one publication giving some throwaway names. For instance, Barbra Streisand is listed as being influenced by Wynette but why? Musically, they are not at all alike.The cited source does not give any details. (It was probably Streisand asking Wynette to perform at her Malibu mansion for a political fund raiser for Bill Clinton, as described in Jimmy McDonough's book...)

The section would serve the reader better if only major examples were given, and each connection given context. Binksternet (talk) 05:56, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Filmography
Tammy Wynette had a cameo appearance on the Dukes of Hazzard, Season 3, "Hazzardville Horror" episode 4.

List of The Dukes of Hazzard episodes#Season 3 (1980–81)

Should that count in her list of filmography? John R. Beck (talk) 23:11, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
