Statement on the death of Tammy Wynette

William J Clinton

 

 

�� April 7, 1998

 

 

� Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death

of Tammy Wynette. For more than 30 years, Tammy Wynette defined the

Nashville sound that helped to make American country western music

popular all over the world. Her string of number one hits has 1

filled music halls, homes, and radio waves-and her trademark style

has 1 filled our hearts and made her a legend. From the Mississippi

cotton fields where she worked as a child, to the stage of the Grand

Ole Opry where she presided as the First Lady of Country Music, Tammy

Wynette was an American original, and we will miss her.
