I never liked listening to Wayne Newton very much, but I can remember seeing him on the Tonight show when he was still a boy and playing maybe three or four instruments during his first song and really kicking tail on every one of them! I knew he was destined for greatness, even if I didn't like his voice at all.

I try very hard not to list greatest, best, or any of that about artistic endeavors because I believe it diminishes the art, but I really love the song "He Stopped Loving Her Today". I do think it is a great song, but I choose not to compare it to anything else. The modulation is brilliant. Most songs do not modulate that early in the development and it helps to elevate the suspense of the story.

Also, there are only two verses before the chorus, but there are eight short lines to the verse, not four.
