Tammy Wynette Tammy Wynette was one of country music's best-known artists and biggest-selling female vocalists. She was known as the 'First Lady of Country Music' and one of her best-known songs, Stand by Your Man, was one of the biggest selling hit singles by a woman in the history of the country music genre. Many of Tammy Wynette's hits dealt with classic themes of loneliness, divorce and the difficulties of male-female relationships. Her songs reflected her often-troubled romantic life (she married five times). Wynette's 1969 marriage to George Jones (which would end in divorce in 1975) created country music's 'first couple.' The pair recorded a series of duet albums and singles, which charted throughout the 1970s, concurrent to their respective solo hits. After years of medical problems, numerous hospitalizations, approximately twenty-six major surgeries and an addiction to large doses of pain medication, Tammy Wynette died, in her sleep, on April 6, 1998 of a pulmonary blood clot. She was 55.
