As a soloist, she has a number of hits to her credit, including "Apartment #9" (her first Epic recording), "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" and "Take Me to Your World." As part of the David Houston-Tammy Wynette duo, the pert singer recorded the single "My Elusive Dreams," which was voted by 'jrade publications one of the Top Country singles of 1967. Their album by the same title rose high on the charts. The current Houston-Wynette release, "It's All Over," which was taken from the "My Elusive Dreams" LP. is among the Top Ten on Country charts. Tammy was born in a small town 30 miles north of Tupelo, Mississippi, right on the Alabama line.
