"It's almost a Dobro sound,"said Johnnie Wright. The key instrument was Shot Jackson's tremulous steel guitar. Paul Cohen turned the session over to Owen Bradley, and it became the first major hit that Bradley produced for Cohen. "I said, 'Well, it probably won't be a hit, but at least we'll get a session fee out of it,'"remembered Kitty. Kitty Wells and Johnnie Wright were unconvinced by the song. And the second night after he got back Kitty Wells recorded it," Miller told John Broven. "A friend of mine came in from Nashville, heard our Feature recording and took it back with him. Miller himself produced the original version by Alice 'Al' Montgomery for Feature Records. I pulled to the side of Highway 90, took a tablet I kept in my glove compartment, and began to write lyrics down."Miller, of course, knew that the melody was in the public domain so he wouldn't have to give a half share to the original composer, as was the case with most answer songs. On this trip a set of lyrics came into my mind. They were playing 'The Wild Side Of Life.' I'd thought of writing a sequel on several occasions, but my lyric ideas were not strong enough. "I was returning from a trip to Rayne,"Miller told Dorothy Horstman, "and I had my car radio on. Johnnie asked him if Decca was interested in recording me, and he said, 'Yes.' In fact, he had a song he wanted us to listen to."Troy Martin at Peer Music had pitched a song by Jay Miller from Crowley, Louisiana. One night, Johnnie & Jack were playing the Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree and happened to see Paul. "While we were still in Shreveport, Johnnie had me make a demo record and he sent it to Paul Cohen, but we didn't hear anything from him. Tillman Franks says that Webb Pierce was the one who persuaded Paul Cohen at Decca Records to give Kitty a contract, but she doesn't remember it that way.
In January 1952, Johnnie & Jack and Miss Kitty moved from Shreveport back to Nashville. She began recording for RCA at the same time as Johnnie & Jack, but was cut loose after two sessions. She took the stage name Kitty Wells from an 1860s parlor song by Thomas Sloan that had slipped into country music. Her early career with her husband, Johnnie Wright of Johnnie & Jack, is detailed in the notes accompanying 'The Queen Of Country Music' (Bear Family BCD 15638). Proclaimed the pride of southern womanhood by Governor Frank Clement in 1953, Kitty Wells was born Muriel Deason in Nashville on August 30, 1919.

The Sunshine Place tells the mind-blowing, true-story of Synanon - one of America’s most cutting edge social experiments, turned into one of its most dangerous and violent cults - as it’s never been told before: by the people who lived it. Dederich, aka “Chuck,” would be the one to destroy it all, along with the lives of many of his followers and millions of dollars in assets. The man who made the miracle happen, Charles E.
What started in a house on the beach, soon spread to compounds across the country. Before long, it would make an even bolder claim: It could cure any of your problems. Once called “the miracle on the beach,” Synanon began in the 1960s as an experimental rehab facility in Santa Monica, California with a radical claim: It could cure heroin addiction.
