Barbara Fairchild A Sweeter Love

I played "The Teddy Bear Song" when I was 19 in the car once. My dad rolled his eyes and said, "You've got to be kidding me." I think it's funny but I like the song. It was the hit of Barbara Fairchild's career and this album. It talks about how she wished she were a teddy bear because her life has become a disappointment. This is one of Barbara Fairchild's best albums and it was made in the prime of her career. Billy Sherill sure could spot talent. He discovered Tammy Wynette, Tanya Tucker, and Barbara. The upbeat numbers are the best of the album. I also really like "Thanks for the Mem'ries." This is on Spotify. For the longest time the only thing I could find of Barbara Fairchild was an out of print cd and one of her rerecording her hits. I'm glad she has availability now.
