Did you know Allen Estes wrote a Top 40 Hit?

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

That’s right, folks.  It’s called Next to You and was Tammy Wynette’s last top 40 hit.  See her Next to You video here.

Watch the Local Music Seen video, above, and see Allen sing his version of the song.  Which do you like better?

Six excellent choices for music tonight with lots of dancing options.  See full lineup here.

  2. I absolutely loved this song, and Tammy Wynette has always been my favorite female C&W singer, but I do not ever remember hearing her sing this. I saw her perform at the Topsfield Fair years ago when she was beginning her decline. I never thought I would say this, but when I played Alan’s version ( and I had to play both of them twice before I made the decision), I chose Alan’s version. He sang every word so clearly, and when Tammy sang there were some lines I missed. I didn’t know Alan sang C&W & even wrote songs like this. I have only heard him sing sea chantys,. I’d love to hear more of his songs. Thanks so much for sharing this.
