Merle Haggard and The Strangers - “Mama Tried” (1968)

On this day—July 22, 1968—“Mama Tried,” the first single from the album of the same name, by Merle Haggard and The Strangers was released. One of the cornerstone songs of his career, “Mama Tried” was Haggard’s fifth number one country hit, spending five weeks at the top, and his biggest hit to date. Winning a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999, the song was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance" on March 23, 2016, just 14 days before Haggard's death.
