Jones - already a successful performer in country music with three No. 1 songs and 13 additional Top 10 hits in his nearly three dozen singles charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart - went on to enjoy greater success during the next 40-plus years. Jones' career included several duet pairings, the most successful being with Tammy Wynette (to whom he was married from 1969 to 1975). Montgomery would continue charting through the late 1970s, including several duets with Jones, Gene Pitney and Charlie Louvin.

George Jones performed the song with Connie Smith during a television appearance in 1988 and again on his own TNN show with Loretta Lynn. Montgomery recorded the song again with John Prine in 1999.
