<P> The song was introduced in December 1960 as an album track on A Date with The Everly Brothers , but was never released as a single ( A-side or B - side ) by the Everlys . The first hit version of the song was by Roy Orbison , who earned Australian radio play , hitting the Top Five of that country 's singles charts in 1961 . A recording by Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons was included on Parsons ' posthumously released Grievous Angel album . After Parsons ' 1973 death , Harris made the song a staple of her repertoire , and has included it in her concert set lists from the 1970s to the present . Harris has since re-recorded the song twice . </P>
