- Written by Arthur Leo Owens and Dallas Frazier. Arranged by Marty Manning and produced by Mike Berniker.
From the album, “Johnny One Time”.
1969 marked the end of a very successful decade for Brenda. After first hitting the Hot-100 in 1957, she had 50 chart entries through 1969. Her Hot-100 hits dried almost as soon as the 70s began but she switched emphasis and had a successful run of Top-20 country hits, beginning with “Nobody Wins” in 1973.
The “Johnny One Time” album, named after the hit single (1969, #41) of the same name, reached #98 on the album chart. The album also included the singles, “Let It Be Me” and “Bring Me Sunshine”, neither of which charted.
Arthur Leo Owens and Dallas Frazier wrote many country songs. As a solo writer, Dallas penned the Oak Ridge Boys’ #5 hit, “Elvira” (1981).
For the rest of career, after the "Johnny One Time" song was released, Brenda went on to record 17 more hit songs to make it to the top 40 (all on the country charts). And 9 of those songs reached the top 10. She was a powerhouse singer!
A long lost gem of a song. Nice to hear a song I haven’t heard in years. TH-cam, our very own Time Machine.
I still listen to Brenda...since the 60's 😊. She has the most incredible voice ever. The songs were so amazing too. Here she really shows her talent. Love you to bits lady ❤🎉
Best song from pretty litle Miss Dynamite! Could listen to this forever!
Yes she has a terrific voice
What makes this song great is that Brenda brings her emotion and feelings to the words in telling of her former lover.
Great singer and song and you could also imagine the likes of Jackie DeShannon,Kim Carnes and Sheena Easton doing!
Beautiful lady,beautiful song..
She did such a Beautiful job with this song.
I'm truly surprised that it's not been Re-recorded by any of our Powerhouse female country artists.
It's a jewel of a song that's just as meaningful today as it was in 1969.
Hey Brenda, IMO it goes back to the old saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I don't mean that in a wiseguy way either, it's just that I don't think that Brenda's version can be topped, so why should anybody try?

You know I believe you're right about that.
I really hadn't thought about it in those terms before.
My mindset was that it's such a great song why wouldn't someone want to
re- record it.
Maybe it's just me wanting see/hear it being played again. I'm a sucker for the older music.
But you are right, perfection can't be topped.
Thank you for being kind about showing me another way to look at this.
Have a great weekend Larry!
@@brendablount7397 You are more than welcome Brenda and I'm glad you took my comment the way I intended! There are a few songs here and there that I liked better than the originals, but not very many. There have been movies in the past that have been remade as well that shouldn't have been and they almost always have made me wonder if originality has just about dried up! For example, could you imagine if some movie studio tried to remake "Titanic" or "The Godfather", e.g.? I can't see any way possible that either of those could get any better than they are now. Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend too and take care!
Crystal Gayle did a version of this song you will find on YOU TUBE...
Loretta Lynn did a beautiful cover of this song.
Great song written by the late Bakersfield songwriter--DALLAS FRAZIER, who also wrote ELVIRA the Oak Ridge Boys took to #1
One of Brenda’s best songs. This song was also recorded by Willie Nelson, Henson Cargill, and Johnny Duncan in superb versions that sound different from Brenda’s and were released around the same time in 1968-69. 😊
@Cathy Berry You're welcome. ☺
Henson Cargill's rendition is fantastic. A criminally underrated artist. Thanks for sharing.
Great song. Brendas voice gave me wood growing up. Great singer
Pretty!
Brenda's voice so distinctive and clear as a bell
It's hard to believe, but this great song was her last hit!
Tell Me What Its Like from late 70s,I thought hit the mark.
@@ford8609 Hey dodge, I'll take your word on that. I happened to hear this song one day last year and after it finished, the dj said that it was the last hit Brenda ever had!
@@larrycoker8093 No I just think it was a very good song that's all.
Not in the UK, unfortunately. MCA didn't promote this as well as they should have.
Best !
