Tammy Wynette: Tragic Country Queen
A new biography looks at the dramatic life of country music legend Tammy Wynette, including her 5 marriages, 17-number-one hits, and years of drug-addiction. Author Jimmy McDonough says the lady who crooned “Stand By Your Man” was much more complex—and independent—than people give her credit for.
